-[snoring] -[clock ringing]

[upbeat music]

-Vito, where are all your customers? -Over at Mama Meany's.

Where else?

No, signore Meany.

Vito is not selling his ristorante to you.

This is it. The lasagna tree.

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

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

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

We're going to Italy.

[gasping]

[narrator] Italy was one of the birthplaces of civilization.

Some of the oldest relics of life can be found within its borders

as well as well-known tourist attractions

such as the Leaning Tower of Pisa,

the Coliseum of Rome and the canals of Venice.

And the lasagna tree!

He should have mentioned it, the eighth wonder of the world.

-Ninth if you count me. -[Odie muttering]

-[growling] -[barking]

[Angelica] We've got to find Vito.

We will, and before those two goons who work for Mama Meany get to him.

Excuse me.

Did I hear you mention Mama Meany?

The man with all the Italian restaurants?

I just love those places of his.

Really? What do you like about them?

Huh...

The commercials, mostly.

Well, let me tell you.

Mama Meany is a bully and a tyrant and a seller of rotten food.

You think so?

May I tell you what else he is?

Sure. What else is he?

He's the passenger in 6D.

[growling]

[gasping]

[growling]

If you've got a parachute, this would be a good time to use it.

Listen to me, Arbuckle.

I'm a man who gets what he wants.

I want that lasagna tree.

You're not going to get in my way.

[Jon] The Piazza San Marco is the town square of the city of Venice

and the major gathering spot. Yep. This looks like a gathering spot.

This is where Vito's cousin used to work?

[Angelica] Yes, this is where Vito hoped

to find him. Let's try that way.

I wonder where Garfield and Odie went.

[cheerful music]

What's the matter? Don't you like your spumoni?

[muttering]

You want ice cream instead?

Spumoni is ice cream.

It's Italian ice cream.

[sighing]

-It is time to pay me -Oh... paying.

I forgot about that part.

Hey! You have to pay me for that!

Stop that cat and dog!

[lively music]

You know, this stuff isn't bad.

[Odie muttering]

[screaming]

I will get you!

[barking]

You cannot get away from Guiseppe!

[lively music continues]

[barking]

-[screaming] -[barking]

I can run no longer.

[Odie] Ta-da!

Nunzio was working for a spumoni vendor here on the plaza.

How do we find him?

Is that your cat and dog?

You owe me for the spumoni they ate.

Spumoni?

You sell spumoni?

Do you know a man named Nunzio Cappelletti?

A good for nothing crook. I fired him.

Do you know where to find him?

I heard Nunzio got a job as a gondolier.

His cousin asked me a few hours ago that very question.

A gondolier? Do you know what a gondolier is, Odie?

They're like taxi drivers only instead of car sick, you get seasick.

All the streets here in Venice are waterways.

And the man propelling the boat is the gondolier.

[soft music]

[Odie muttering]

Oh!

[Odie muttering]

There's only one bad thing about gondoliers: sometimes, they sing.

♪ My gondola was built in Rome It glides along on the canal ♪

♪ And takes me each night to the home Where lives a very special gal ♪

-[Odie moaning] -I agree.

♪ Maria is her lovely name To me she is so very dear ♪

♪ Her father says 't would be a shame For her to wed a gondolier ♪

[barking]

♪ He says that she deserves a king A man of the highest grade ♪

♪ And not someone who lives to sing To foreign tourist trade ♪

♪ O Maria, don't you know what you've got? ♪

[lively music on the radio]

♪ Maria ♪

♪ I am the man you need ♪

♪ Oh please don't make me plead ♪

♪ Maria, Maria ♪

♪ I cannot give you gold ♪

♪ Just someone warm to hold ♪

♪ Maria ♪

[soft music]

♪ I'm not a rich, successful guy Nor any great financier ♪

♪ But I will love you 'til I die If you will have this gondolier ♪

♪ You will have this gondolier ♪

Now, we just have to find the Head Gondolier.

[muffled laughter]

The gondola is slowing. He must be up there.

And look who's with him!

I can imagine why you fired him... lying, cheating...

You know your cousin well. Here is the address

where I sent his last check.

This is out in the country. It must be where the lasagna tree is.

See? I told you! He'll lead us right to it.

-I go now to... -[Angelica] Vito!

Angelica!

[romantic music]

-He's getting into that gondola. -Then we'd better get into a gondola.

What are you all doing here?

We came to warn you. Mama Meany's men are following you.

They are? Where?

[barking]

[ominous music]

Uh-oh. Those two guys again.

Get us away from here! Get away from that gondola!

[lively music]

After them! We can't lose them now.

We're not losing them. They're gaining on us.

[suspenseful music]

[epic music]

[suspenseful music]

[lively music]

[music slowing down]

[screaming]

[music speeding up]

Okay, let's try this one.

[romantic music] ♪ She is the woman ♪

Ah... this one will do it.

[disco music]

Louie, don't! Stop! Not in the boat!

Sit down! You're rocking the boat!

You'll capsize the boat!

[laughing]

I couldn't help it, Gruber. I think I was just born to dance.

[lively music]

Nunzio's address is ten kilometers this way.

My cousin Nunzio is a cheater and a liar and a good for nothing swindler.

Why do you associate with him?

Because he is family.

Our next stop is the lasagna tree. Our next stop is the lasagna tree.

-[whispered muttering] -Really? Are you sure?

Our next stop is to walk the dog.

The stop after that is the lasagna tree.

Our next stop is to walk...

[intriguing music]

Don't worry, Mama. We're right on their tail.

Or over their tail or something.

You'd better be. When you get the tree, bring it to me here.

I'm at my processing plant near you.

Just follow them, Louie. They'll lead us right to the tree.

-Gruber, I think... -Oh and by the way... shut up!

[Louie] I'm shutting up.

[cheerful music]

[Vito] Let's go this way and see if we can find Nunzio.

That bum. Then, the lasagna tree.

I still can't believe there's a tree that grows lasagna.

What does she know?

Ah, the lasagna is in bloom.

Did you spot the...

[both gasping]

It's...

it's the most beautiful thing I ever saw.

A tree that actually grows...

lasagna!

[shout of joy]

[whining]

No, it's mine, all mine!

Mine, mine, mine! You can't have any of it.

[sad whining]

[sighing] All right.

[barking]

Boy. And I thought I loved my lasagna.

This is the lasagna tree, Vito.

I still don't believe it.

Let your eyes tell you otherwise.

I have come a long way to taste this crop...

It is magnificent.

Very much like the lasagna my dear mother taught me to make but even better.

There's a reason for that, Vito.

Nunzio!

There is a reason this lasagna reminds you of your mother's.

Mama!

[gasping]

Mama Meany's here?

No!

My Mama!
