[humming]

Yo, Angelo. Just won another trophy.

Know how many I have?

Neither do I! [laughing]

I should get a trophy for winning the most trophies.

Hey, that's an idea.

I'd win trophies for winning the most trophies.

And then I could win a trophy

for winning the most trophies for winning trophies! Or not.

I can't stand cats.

Especially ones who think they're cute.

Yeah, and adorable.

But I am cute and adorable. Just take a look.

We take care of cats who are cute and adorable.

Did I say cute and adorable? No, no.

I meant mangy and ugly. Yuck! I'm disgusting.

[growling]

Congratulations. You just won this lovely trophy

for best performance by a scary dog in a lead role. Bye.

Guys! Let's get that cat!

[action music]

Help! Help! Double help!

[Garfield] This is a bad part of town, Odie. We shouldn't be down here.

[barking]

Yeah. This area is full of folks you don't want to be around.

[screaming]

See? There's Nermal.

[barking]

Help! Save me! Help!

Angry dogs are chasing Nermal.

If they catch up with him, he's a goner.

Oh, well.

[whimpering]

You think I should help him?

Hmm... All right. Come on.

We can take a short cut and catch up to them.

[screaming] Help!

[action music]

This was not a smart way for me to run.

[screaming]

[growling]

You know, guys... I'm not really as adorable as I might appear...

This is it. I'm toast. Cute toast, but toast just the same.

[Garfield] Hey, Nermal.

Garfield!

[Rottweiler] Well, look what we have here!

Yeah. Another cat we don't like.

Looks like we got us a two-for-one deal here.

[laughing]

You may think you're going... [shouting]

[grunting]

-What's he doing? -Beats me.

Sorry. I've become infested with...

Mongolian Monster Fleas.

They're very contagious.

[whispering] Quick. Do what I'm doing.

[grunting]

[grunting]

I don't want to get no... What did he say they were?

Mongolian Monster Fleas.

Let's get away from them!

[barking]

All right!

I think we ought to be someplace else before they come back.

[happily barking]

Garfield...

You saved my life.

Yeah. Don't remind me.

Word of advice, Nermal.

Avoid places where you could get hurt, like this neighborhood or my house.

-Let's go, Odie. -[happily barking]

Garfield saved my life. He really did.

Maybe I had him all wrong.

I thought Garfield didn't like me. Why did I think that?

Maybe it's because of all those times he said,

"Nermal... I don't like you."

Today on the show, we're going to discuss gratitude.

"Gratitude"? I've heard of that.

When someone does something nice for you, you should display gratitude.

Thank them. Let them know that you owe them.

If someone did you a favor, do a favor for them.

That's the decent thing to do in this world.

Do a favor for Garfield?

He's right. I should do a favor for Garfield.

I should do lots of favors for Garfield. He saved my life.

Thanks but I don't need you to do anything for me.

There must be something that you'd like.

Yes. Go away.

As you wish.

I never thought getting rid of him could be so easy.

And it saves on postage.

I'll celebrate with a couple of desserts.

I'll tidy up for my friend Garfield.

Let's see...

Do I want vanilla, chocolate, strawberry or pistachio?

Yes. All of the above.

[vacuum cleaner]

What's going on here?

Nermal! The vacuum is too loud!

What? I can't hear you, Garfield. The vacuum is too loud!

[dramatic music]

My vanilla! My chocolate! My strawberry! My pistachio!

Nermal! Turn that thing off!

Hold on, Garfield! I'll turn this thing off!

[Garfield] Nermal!

You turned it up to super-suction!

I'll try to turn it off!

Help! Help! [shouting]

[dramatic music]

[barking]

Help! Help! [shouting]

[cheerful music]

Garfield! Liz is coming and we need to clean up the living room.

[screaming]

Think we overdid it?

Garfield! How could you do this?

But I didn't. Nermal tried to tidy up around here and...

And don't try to blame this disaster on cute little Nermal!

[groaning]

[Jon] Don't come back ever!

Wait for your best friend!

Or at least until dinnertime!

What am I going to do with this room?

Maybe Odie can help me.

Odie! Odie! Here, boy!

[muffled barking]

I don't care what you say, I'm going to help you out.

After all, you did save my life.

I keep asking you not to remind me.

-Hey, look who's coming this way! -Oh!

[Nermal] She's utterly awesome.

Wanna meet her, Garfield?

Well, I'm pretty happy with Arlene...

Nothing wrong with meeting people. She's real good looking.

Not as good looking as me...

Excuse me, lovely lady cat. Do you know my friend Garfield?

This is Garfield? I've heard of Garfield.

Yeah. He's a hero. He saved my life.

He keeps reminding me.

Plus, he's my best friend.

Any friend of yours is a friend of mine.

Garfield, would you like to share a lasagna some evening?

Well, maybe just a little one, the size of a small car...

[screaming]

Arlene! It's not what you think!

She found my weakness. She mentioned lasagna!

Arlene! Arlene!

[Nermal] Ah, let her go.

So, maybe you lost your lady. Look at the bright side.

You'll always have me around.

[groaning]

[barking]

Odie... I think I figured out how to stop Nermal from being my friend.

I saved his life... So, I just have to get him to save my life.

Then we'll be even. Brilliant, huh?

I don't care if you don't think it is. I think it is.

So, here's what I need you to do... [whispering]

I'll take my dear friend Garfield a big dish of raisins. Oh...

And maybe I'll get him a pizza with lots of anchovies.

[whining]

Odie! What's wrong?

Nothing happened to my friend Garfield, has it?

What do you mean, "Not yet"?

[whimpering]

Garfield went for a walk in that bad neighborhood with bully dogs?

He'll get flattened. I have to go help him.

Don't worry, my friend! I'll protect you!

[giggling]

[gobbling]

He saved my life.

Now, I'll save his!

But the thing to remember in life is to put yourself first.

Because if you don't, nobody else will.

It's important to take care of others,

but it's important to take care of yourself.

You matter too, you know.

He's right. I'm Nermal Cat.

Why am I worrying about someone else?

Look at the poor cat. Defenseless kitty walking all by himself.

I hope nobody bothers him.

I'm not worried. Nermal will show up and save me and we'll be even.

And even if he can't save me, I'm not worried.

I have my Mongolian Monster Flea routine to protect me.

Ahem! Cat walking all alone. Defenseless, with a bad attitude!

Boy... when you want trouble, you can't find it.

[growling]

[screaming]

You dogs don't scare me.

My friend Nermal will show up here any second now to protect me.

[louder growling]

Any second now.

[even louder growling]

[Nermal] Garfield!

He's here. He's here to save me.

Garfield, I just want to tell you.

I have to take care of myself. You're on your own.

Bye.

Oh, I just remembered!

[grunting]

I have Mongolian Monster Fleas.

Better run or you will catch them!

We're not worried.

Not one bit. We all went and got flea collars.

-[sad music] -[growling and crashing]

[moaning]

Liz says you'll be out of bed in a couple weeks.

[moaning]

I can't imagine why you went to that bad neighborhood alone, Garfield.

You couldn't have imagined someone would come to your rescue?

[moaning]

I'm going to go get your medicine. And Liz says

no lasagna or other fattening foods for a couple of months.

[moaning]

Garfield?

I have a feeling it was in some small, teensy way my fault.

I will make it up to you.

So?

So, I've decided to stay here, wait on you and be your best friend.

[agonized screaming]

[Nermal] You're supposed to be in bed, Garfield! Garfield?

Aren't you injured?

Not as much as you'll be!

Garfield! No! You saved my life!

I've got Mongolian Monster Fleas!

[grunting]
