[upbeat music]

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

My worthless, dishonest cousin Nunzio!

We're going to Italy.

[Jon] This is where Nunzio used to work?

Here is the address.

It must be where the lasagna tree is!

Bring me the tree!

Mama Meany's men are following you!

They are?

It's the most beautiful thing I ever saw!

Nunzio!

Mama!

Mama, why are you living here

with this worthless, dishonest cousin of mine?

Oh, Nunzio was like that but he's changed.

He's a good boy now.

Maybe he's reformed.

Human beings do change, Vito.

Human beings do.

But not him.

Uh... Maybe we should go into the house to discuss this.

[cheerful music]

I'm gonna do another live broadcast to the entire world,

telling them about the lasagna tree and you, Garfield.

You're going to be on it.

[puzzled muttering]

Why does he want me on his show?

Do the words "World's Foremost Authority on Lasagna" mean anything to you?

There is it, Louie.

Fly us back to Mama Meany's plant and let's pick up a truck.

We're gonna steal it,

and Mama's scientists will find a way to clone it,

and Mama Meany can put every other Italian restaurant...

-Shut up, Louie. -I'm shutting up.

This is my robotic cameraman.

He's my entire crew when I do my broadcasts.

He beams my splendid face to millions

of TV sets and smartphones and not-so-smartphones.

I just press "Transmit" on my little remote here.

[whimsical music]

Transmission to satellite started.

That's right. Frame a shot that makes me look gorgeous.

Oh, wait. I need my little microphone.

Okay, tell me when we're on the air.

Transmission has already commenced.

What does that mean?

You're on.

Oh. I'm on.

I'm on?

Hello, food fanciers.

This is your old pal Eddie Gourmand coming to you live...

from I-Can't-Tell-You-Where...

with more about the incredible... wait for it...

lasagna tree!

Hurry it up. The tree's getting stale.

We're speaking with the noted lasagna expert, Garfield Cat.

Garfield, you've had a chance to taste the lasagna that grows on the tree.

Give my viewers your unbiased opinion.

Is this the best lasagna you've ever had?

There you have it,

direct from Garfield's mouth which, incidentally,

has had a lot of lasagna passed through. A lot.

It is the best. Take it from me.

Blanche, tell the advertising department not to let Eddie sing ever again.

That includes at home in the shower.

Yes, Mama.

And tell Gruber and Louie I want that lasagna tree now!

Yes, Mama.

I believe they're working on it now.

There it is, Odie.

Isn't it the most amazing thing you've ever seen?

[eerie music]

Yummy, yummy, yummy!

Odie!

We should combine my two favorite things in the world:

food and sleep.

[muttering]

Yes. Let's sleep in the lasagna tree.

[cheerful music]

Shhh.

I know how to be quiet, Gruber. My mommy taught me how to be quiet.

She said, "Son, you need to be quiet" and I knew she meant...

-[whispering] Shut up, Louie! -I'm shutting up.

[groaning]

Come on, boy.

I know dogs don't usually climb trees but you can do it.

Nice work, Odie. We'll nap until it's lunchtime.

We'll eat parts of the tree. And then we'll nap in it some more.

[yawning]

I may never want to leave here.

[snoring]

[intriguing music]

[snoring]

[intriguing music continues]

[Nunzio] Vito...

Why can't you believe I've changed?

Because I haven't seen you do anything for anyone but yourself.

Ever.

Calm down, boys. I love both of you.

Vito, I taught you to be a fine chef and you became one.

I am so proud of you.

And Nunzio, if not for you, we would not have the lasagna tree

and all the wonderful attention it will give to my cooking.

Nunzio is responsible for the lasagna tree?

[suspenseful music]

[screaming]

Shhh.

[Garfield snoring]

-[soft music] -[snoring]

[intriguing music]

[Garfield] Wherever we're going,

can we swing by a drive-through for burgers?

[honking]

[suspenseful music]

You know, the lasagna that grows on this tree is really terrific.

Yeah. Hey, Mama, how come you don't try and sell good food like this

in your restaurants?

[growling]

-[groaning] -I'm shutting up.

It is good. Too good.

Since Eddie Gourmand started broadcasting about it,

word has spread throughout the world of Italian cooking.

I'll have waffles and more waffles for breakfast.

[Odie muttering]

What? Where are we?

Everyone wants the secret of this great lasagna.

And if they get it, my worldwide restaurant empire is in deep trouble.

Call my scientists.

Tell them to analyze this tree and figure out its secret.

Quiet, Odie. If they find us,

they'll be planting us in the ground instead of this tree.

I can't believe it!

Someone just came here while we were inside,

dug it up and took it.

We must get it back! Call the police!

Let them take it. We can just make another one.

Won't it take months, even years to grow another lasagna tree?

We didn't grow this one. I made it.

[intriguing music]

Come on! You didn't really believe lasagna grows on trees, did you?

-Oh, no. Not me. Not for a second. -I knew lasagna doesn't grow on trees.

I just took the lasagnas your mama made, Vito,

and stapled them onto one of the trees here.

Then I called Eddie Gourmand and let him in on it.

You haven't changed one bit, Nunzio.

It's all a trick! Another one of your crooked schemes.

No, it's a hoax.

To get attention for Mama's great lasagna recipe.

We've had thousands of people call and email!

They all want the recipe.

And it's so wonderful.

When Eddie gives it out on his show, everyone will pay attention.

You're just going to give the recipe away?

Why not? Then everyone can make wonderful lasagna.

It's just Mama's way to making the world a little bit better.

Maybe...

maybe I had you wrong, Nunzio.

So what I want to know is...

where is the lasagna tree now?

[intriguing music]

[scientist] The lasagna does not seem

to be organic to the tree, doctor.

No doctor. These lasagnas didn't grow on these branches.

They appear to be stapled on.

Can you make out what they're saying?

[muttering]

Me neither. But we've got to get out of here

and rescue the lasagna tree.

Then you concur with my conclusion that the alleged lasagna tree is a fake?

Yes I do, doctor.

You should go tell Mama Meany that.

No, you should go tell him.

No, you should go tell him.

-No, you should go. -No, you should.

[groaning with the effort]

We're in some sort of factory where Mama Meany

makes his lousy Italian food.

Keep pushing, Odie.

-No, you should go tell him. -No, you should go tell him.

No, you should go.

[intriguing music]

No, we can't just leave it here.

Abandon the lasagna tree? Never. We can't let it get away from us.

[dramatic music]

-It's getting away from us! -[howling]

[dramatic music continues]

No, you should go tell him.

No, you should go tell him.

What if we both go tell him?

-No, you should go tell him. -No, you should go tell him.

[in unison] It's gone!

There's no sign of it.

Go tell Mama Meany the lasagna tree has been stolen.

No, you should go tell him.

[lively music]

-Okay, now what do we do? -[muttering]

I don't know, either.

Let's see what those scientists have come up with.

Hey...

isn't that the lasagna tree coming this way?

[Garfield screaming]

[screaming]

Sorry, I don't know how to steer a lasagna tree!

[screaming]

There... that'll keep them out.

Unfortunately, it will also keep us in.
