[snoring] [clock ringing]

[upbeat music]

Ah, isn't this just the perfect afternoon, Odie?

Jon's away. The weather's fine. I have a lemonade,

a medium-sized sandwich and I can just lie here

and do something I enjoy...

watch someone else exercise.

One, two, one, two,

feet apart, one, two, faster, men, one, two...

[Squeak] Couldn't we take a break, Biff?

Like until next August?

Stop goofing off, Squeak. Now, drop and give me 20.

[moaning] One, two...

You could go a little easier on them.

I have to get them in shape so they can defend themselves.

What if a cat came in?

There is a cat in the yard.

I don't mean Garfield. Garfield's our friend.

I don't mean Garfield, either. I mean him.

[alarm]

[screaming]

[dramatic music]

Oh, this is fun to watch, too. Ok, Biff. It's showtime!

[screaming]

[growling]

Oh... what have we here?

[growling]

Hey, mouse. Aren't you afraid of me?

[mice] Yeah! Go Biff!

Yeah, let's show them!

[mice laughing]

[screaming]

[screaming]

[cheering]

[lively music]

Nice going, Biff.

We won't see Bruno again till this episode is rerun later.

Now to celebrate your impressive feat, I'll go eat something.

Biff, you're the greatest.

Yeah, the greatest. I don't know what we'd do without you around.

We'd have to count on Garfield to protect us.

That overweight, out-of-shape cat?

Me? Exercise?

You need to give your brain a workout.

You need to get fit, cat. I'm going see that you do.

There's ice cream in that fridge.

You saw what I did to the other cat.

Who needs ice cream? It's only delicious and wonderful.

I'll have 20 cookies, then.

No cookies, either. You're going to exercise.

All right, all right. I'll exercise.

[grunting]

[military music]

I've exercised. I'll do another one...

Let's say next summer. Maybe autumn. Maybe winter.

Garfield! Follow me.

[groaning]

[panting]

[Biff] Running is the best way to lose fat.

Keep your pace and heartbeat up

and you'll keep your weight down.

[joyful music]

After we run a few miles, we'll do an hour of push-ups.

Then weight training and gymnastics and aerobics.

I know you're mad about dieting,

so we'll reward you with a snack... half a radish.

You're too generous.

And then more aerobics and chin-ups and...

[crashing]

Twice as hard! Now you have to work out,

fat cat!

[panting]

I don't know how much of this I can survive.

Squeak, doesn't that friend of yours

know the joys of fattening food?

Well, only when he's miserable.

Miserable? Like I am now?

Yeah! When he gets depressed, he eats like you do.

More, even. I saw it when he broke up with his girlfriend, Emily.

Hmmm...

You could go a little easier on Garfield.

He's flabby. He's unfit. He calls for drastic measures.

Biff, you're so wonderful most of the time.

Give him a little rest.

[Emily] And let him have some lasagna.

They're having a fight. Let's see if I can make it worse.

No. Garfield will exercise. I am helping not hurting him.

[coughing and moaning] I'm ready for more exercise, Biff.

[coughing]

Look what you're doing to him.

Can I do my sit-ups in a hospital bed?

Biff, this is terrible. I never want to see you again.

But Emily...

I'm going to go find some other house to live under.

[coughing]

She... She left you.

How does that make you feel, Bifford?

Hungry.

[laughing]

[yawning] I think I'll spend the evening

staring mindlessly at the TV and eating unhealthy food.

[alarm]

Hey, Biff!

Wanna get out of my chair and jog around the block?

Uh... no.

[sad music]

[sighing] Emily...

So, I got out of having to exercise, but now I have a bigger problem.

Biff's in my chair...

And he's eaten all the food in the house.

That is my job.

I'm just waiting for something else to go wrong.

[screaming]

Sounds like that's it.

[screaming]

Oh, no!

Oh, no! Oh, no! Bruno is back!

I must have you. And you look delicious!

[Bruno laughing]

Bruno! Put those mice down and get out of this yard right now.

Who's going to make me?

[gasping] Someone other than me.

[barking]

[action music]

It's no use, dog.

You won't stop me.

Biff! You're needed!

Bruno is back and he's grabbing all the mice! Come on!

I will do what I can.

-Hurry! -I am hurrying.

[barking]

I've had about enough of this.

[crashing]

[whimpering]

[mice screaming]

I think I'll barbecue tonight. [laughing]

All my friends. The only one who can save them is Biff.

Biff's useless. You know how he's acting?

No, how is he acting?

A lot like me.

To get him back we gotta reunite him with his lady.

Emily?

She moved to under some other house somewhere.

Odie! Put that damp nose of yours to work. Find Emily the Mouse!

[barking]

[sniffing]

[barking]

[barking]

[alarm]

[barking]

You think you found her?

Oh, it's you, Garfield. I thought it was that big, nasty cat.

The big nasty cat is about to barbecue your friends.

This is awful.

Can't Biff do something?

Biff's not Biff since you left. He misses you. Don't you miss him?

Well, sort of.

That means you do. Come on. There's not much time.

You gotta snap out of it, Biff. Our pals are in terrible danger.

What can I do? I am fat and out of shape.

I am just no good. I am...

-Biff! -Emily?

The big reunion scene can wait. We have mice to save.

Biff... you look so...

-So... -Like me.

But now that I got you back, I can go get me back. Wait here.

[military music]

[action music]

Biff! I can't believe you got your old physique back so quick.

Yeah, it only took one 15-second montage sequence.

Where does Bruno hang out?

[Squeak] Down here. By the railroad tracks.

[screaming]

Charcoal's almost ready!

[suspenseful music]

Garfield! Do something!

All right. I have one of my typically brilliant plans.

Odie, run to the other side to distract him.

Squeak, stay here and bang on a drum.

I'll dress up as a farmer...

I have a better idea.

[military march]

[alarm]

[screaming]

[humming]

[screaming]

[barking]

[ribbiting]

[cheering]

[joyful music]

[kissing]

You're a hero, Biff.

Thanks to Garfield. Sorry I went so hard.

It's ok. And I'm going to take your advice, Biff.

I'm going to start a new exercise program.

Squeak, will you help me?

Uh... sure. Whatever it is.

[Squeak] One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

You call eating that exercise?

Mmm, sure. I'm using a very heavy fork.

-Squeak. -One...

two, three, four. One, two,

three, four. One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.
