[upbeat music]

[Jon] Look at all the people waiting to get into Mama Meany's pizzeria.

Vito... where are all your customers?

Over at Mama Meany's. Where else?

[laughing]

Signore Meany, Vito is not selling his ristorante to you.

[Eddie Gourmand] This is a tree that grows...

Wait for it... lasagna!

[in unison] Lasagna?

Oh, I love trees.

[TV announcer] We now return you to Eddie Gourmand's World of Food.

Hurry. Go right to the part about the tree that grows lasagna.

I'm coming to you live from a small city in Italy.

I'm not allowed to tell you

exactly where in Italy I am,

but it's wonderful here.

And the most wonderful thing is this.

This is it. The lasagna tree!

A tree that actually grows lasagna.

It's the only one

in the whole world.

How soon can we go there?

We have video of them harvesting the crop.

Here you see the lasagna harvest.

They have to pick them in the morning, when the buds are fully open.

We'll head straight for the airport.

I don't need to pack. I don't wear clothes.

Sometimes, a harvester will decide that a lasagna is not quite ripe yet,

so he'll leave it on the tree for a few more days.

[ominous music]

The rats let us down, Louie.

That's the trouble with rats. They're all rats.

Even act like rats.

Nope, you can't trust rats. Now, squirrels...

Shut up, Louie.

I'm shutting up.

We have to shut this place down or Mr. Mama Meany will be so...

Hey!

No pizzeria could stay in business long without its delivery truck.

You think you know how to sabotage it?

Sure thing, Gruber.

Good. Get to work.

And when you're done, I'll order us a couple pizzas.

[cackling]

It's the best lasagna I have ever tasted

anywhere!

It's even better than my previous favorite,

the lasagna back home at Vito's Pizzeria.

Better than mine?

[phone ringing]

Better than mine?

No one's lasagna is better than yours, Vito.

But answer the phone. It could be a customer.

A customer?

It has been so long since I had one, I almost forgot.

Vito's Pizzeria. Vito at your service.

[high-pitched voice] Hello? How fast can you make five pizzas?

How fast can I make five pizzas?

That fast. Where do I deliver them?

Uh-huh. Mm-hmm.

Vito will be there faster than you can say "hold the anchovies!"

[cheerful music]

-[sniffing] -[sad music]

You want to keep Vito company on a ride, little pussygato?

Why not? I love the smell of warm mozzarella in the afternoon.

[cheerful music]

[lively music]

Come on! I want to see the crash for myself!

[lively music continues]

[Angelica] Lasagna growing on trees.

The most ridiculous thing I ever heard of.

But you saw it. They showed it on TV.

And no one on TV ever lies about anything.

Unless they're selling something or running for something...

Odie! You believe in the lasagna tree, don't you?

[muttering]

But it was on TV. If they said it on TV, it must be true.

[lively music]

I must somehow get to Italy.

I must see for myself this incredible lasagna tree.

Lasagna tree... That's the best thing I ever heard in my life.

[lively music continues]

[screaming]

Oh no! My brakes do not work!

His brakes do not work.

That's the worst thing I ever heard in my...

[gasping] His brakes don't work!

[suspenseful music]

[screaming]

[screaming]

[tires screeching]

[gasping]

[suspenseful music continues]

So we wreck his truck and then if does get any customers, he can't deliver

so he goes out of business and Mama Meany...

Shut up, Louie.

I'm shutting up.

They're just ahead up there.

Pussygato! What should I do?

Try to hit something soft and cheap.

I hope we're not going to do the bit they do in every crummy car chase scene

where the car hits a fruit vendor's pushcart.

Oh no! It is one of those crummy car chase scenes

where the car hits a fruit vendor's pushcart!

[honking]

[screaming]

[sighing with relief]

Wow. I was afraid this was one of those crummy car chase scenes

where the car hits a fruit vendor's pushcart!

[groaning]

I knew this was one of those crummy car chase scenes

where the car hits a fruit vendor's pushcart!

[screaming]

Garfield! Do something that will help the situation.

I will.

[eating sounds]

Well, if we do crash, you don't want all this pizza to go to waste, do you?

[screaming]

I meant, do something to perhaps stop us from crashing.

Oh, yeah.

That would be a good idea,

I suppose.

[screaming]

Well, this is an emergency...

So how about using this thing called an emergency brake?

Oh, yes. [chuckling] That is one way to do it.

Louie! Look out!

I can't see!

I got fruit cocktail all over the windshield.

[Meany] Good work.

I like that new artificial cheese substitute you're using.

We're making the breadsticks out of Styrofoam

and for the spaghetti, I'm just boiling twine.

[tires screeching]

[screaming]

[crashing]

I had fruit cocktail all over my window

and there were bananas flying every which way...

Louie...

I'm shutting up.

[growling]

[Jon] Ah! For the eighty third time, no!

We are not going to Italy.

But the lasagna tree! I must find the lasagna tree.

Good night, Garfield.

You want to go find the lasagna tree, don't you, Odie?

Oh!

He doesn't believe it's real.

But you do, Squeak.

Well, I'm a mouse. We believe in anything that involves cheese.

Eddie Gourmand's doing live remotes from that place I want to be.

I'm talking with the chief lasagna farmer here, Nunzio Cappelletti.

What's the hardest part of lasagna farming, Nunzio?

I would say... keeping your ricotta cheese watered.

It needs to stay moist if you want to have a lasagna tree.

At least Mama Meany didn't fire us.

He will if we don't close down Vito's soon.

And now he wants us to find out something about some sort of lasagna tree.

Let's see what they're up to...

But I must go and try and find the lasagna tree.

But it can't be real.

And even if it is, you have no idea where it is in Italy.

Italy is a big country...

If there is better lasagna than mine, I must find it and learn the secret.

[Eddie Gourmand] Does the tree grow them sun-dried, Nunzio?

"Nunzio?"

The tree somehow creates tomato sauce and then I guess the sun dries it...

Angelica! That's Nunzio! My worthless, dishonest cousin Nunzio!

Now, I have a lead on where to find the lasagna tree!

First thing in the morning, you drive me to the airport.

I will go there and find the lasagna tree! I am sure of it!

And I'm sure we'll be right behind.

[cackling]

I'll be back tomorrow and the day after and the day after

with more about this amazing plant.

Bye for now!

So Garfield...

if you did go find the lasagna tree, what's the first thing you'd say?

The first thing I'd say? Hmm...

I'm imagining being there, being in front of the lasagna tree...

[Squeak] So you didn't answer my question.

What?

If you did come across a lasagna tree, what's the first thing you'd say?

The first thing I'd say?

Mmhhh.

The first thing I'd say would be...

timber!

But it looks like that's not gonna happen.

Good night, Squeak.

Good night, Garfield.

[cheerful music]

Farewell, my love. I will call or write.

I will tell you every step of how I find the lasagna tree.

[suspenseful music]

[doorbell ringing]

[Jon] I'm coming, I'm coming!

Who could it be at this hour of the morning?

Angelica?

Signore Arbuckle... Jon... I didn't know who else to come to.

I am worried Vito may be in great danger.

I need...

He needs your help.

-Odie? -[muttering]

I may not get up today.

There's a lasagna tree on this planet and I'm never gonna get to go there.

Never gonna get to taste the best lasagna in the whole world.

[whining]

Guys, pack whatever you need to take.

We're going to Italy.

We are?

[joyful music]

All packed!

Oh, wait. I may need to do a little chopping.

[upbeat music]
