[yawn]

'Night Garfield... 'Night Odie.

[muttering sleepily]

[snoring]

That's odd. I'm always the first one to fall asleep around here...

[snoring]

[gasping] Garfield?

Why aren't you sleeping?

Well now, if I knew the answer to that question,

I wouldn't be standing here on your bed now, would I?

[sighing] Did you eat a lot this evening?

Or do a lot of exciting activities?

[Odie muttering]

Mmm... Let's see what I did this evening...

[lively music]

[shouts of joy]

[beeping]

Whoooo!

[sad music]

[gasping and whimpering]

Nope. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Oh, wait. Maybe it was that 93 cups of coffee I drank.

[intriguing music]

Maybe I'll go watch more TV...

[Dr Whipple] Now, if you're watching me at this hour...

it probably means you have insomnia and are unable to sleep.

The man knows his audience.

Counting sheep has a strange, relaxing effect on most people.

It makes them sleepy.

All you have to do is imagine sheep hopping over a fence.

Nothing to lose. I'll give it a try.

Sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep...

[snoring]

[baaing]

Wow! An imaginary sheep!

And there's another one! And another one!

Okay, guys. Let's give it a try.

One. Two.

Three. Four.

Five. Six. Seven.

Eight. Nine. Ten.

I'm not getting sleepy.

Eleven. Twelve.

Two thousand eight hundred and seventy-six.

Two thousand eight hundred and seventy-seven...

Two thousand eight hundred and seventy-eight.

Two thousand eight hundred and seventy-nine.

I'm getting exhausted.

I can't feel my rear legs!

Tell me about it! Why isn't he falling asleep?

Right. You guys keep at it while I go get myself a...

3:22 in the morning snack.

And no muddy hoof prints on the carpet. Jon just had it steam-cleaned!

We're leaping our wool off and he's wide awake!

This is... [baaing] bad!

Let's just hope the boss doesn't hear about th--

[ominous music]

[baaing]

[thudding]

He called us back!

Now we're in for it!

The three of you! In my office! Now!

Mr. Sandman, we can explaaaaaain.

Really?

Then explain to me why you failed to lull that cat to sleep!

This is Garfield we're talking about!

The laziest cat the world has ever known!

Look, we know we let you down, but...

It won't happen again, Mr. Sandman!

You bet it won't! You're fired.

"Fired?"

Fired. Now, get out of my sight!

-But boss! -[baaing]

[Eddie Gourmand] This morning, people,

I'm going to show you how to make a delicious lamb stew.

Well, that's worth being up all night for, I guess.

And I have all sorts of terrific things

to tell you about our favorite topic in the whole world: food!

[baaing]

[thudding]

We've got to get our jobs back.

Being counted is the only thing I know how to do.

How can we prove to Mr. Sandman we're still valuable members of his team?

I know.

If we can't put that cat to sleep, let's put everyone else to sleep.

Right. If we can put the whole city to sleep,

he's got to see how good we really are.

[door closing]

Someone's coming.

Whoever it is, let's start with them.

I'm getting started on breakfast, Garfield.

[humming]

[baaing]

Hello, hello? Operator, who do I call to report a sheep in my kitchen?

That's right. I just saw one sheep in my kitchen.

Bah!

I have two sheep in my kitchen.

Bah!

I have three sheep in my kitchen.

Bah!

[yawning] I have four sheep in my kitchen.

Bah!

I have five sheep in my...

[snoring]

[intriguing music]

[Odie muttering]

Bah.

Bah.

Bah.

[snoring]

[baaing]

And I'll be showing you how to make that yummy lamb stew

right after this brief break for about nine hundred commercials.

All this watching food has made me want food.

I hope Jon has breakfast ready.

And maybe lunch.

[snoring]

Someone is laying down on the job.

Well. I still have time to torment the mailman

before the commercials are over.

[laughing]

[snoring]

Him too!

Wake up! You're the mailman! You have a job to do!

Plus I have several ways to annoy you!

Oh... Hi, Garfield.

I was just about to deliver your mail when a sheep went by.

And then there were two sheep and three sheep and...

[snoring]

What's going on here?

Now then, people!

To make a great lamb stew,

you need as many lamb chops as you can get from one sheep.

No, two sheep.

No, three sheep. No, four sheep.

[yawning] Five sheep... Six sheep....

Eight sheep... No, I...

[muttering sleepily]

[snoring]

What's happening?

We interrupt Eddie Gourmand's World of Food for this news bulletin.

The governor has just called a press conference

to denounce as nonsense reports that a roving band of countable sheep

is putting everyone in the State to sleep.

We go live to our reporter Dave Stringer at that press conference. Dave?

[snoring]

The governor said there was no truth to the rumors that...

[yawning]

I gotta catch a nap.

Back to you in the studio, Tom.

[snoring]

[dramatic music]

Am I the only being in town not sound asleep?

I've got to find out...

[snoring]

This is amazing.

Everyone in the city is out.

They all must have counted sheep and fallen asleep.

Cat, can you believe it?

All these people just asleep like wow?

It's just too, too weird.

And the only ones spared were people like that who don't know how to count.

How could this happen? Who could have caused it?

Three renegade sheep who've strayed from the flock, that's who.

[baaing]

They put everyone to sleep!

Yeah! Now there's nothing for the rest of us to do.

Sheep, sheep... please. I'll handle this.

That cat who's awake.

Transport him here at once.

[snoring]

[intriguing music]

[dramatic music]

Vito, too?

Who'll make me pizza and pasta if he's asleep?

[suspenseful music]

Hey!

Okay, I give up. Who are you?

They call me Mr. Sandman.

I'm in charge of putting people to sleep.

You don't need sheep, you know.

You could just watch the fall TV schedule.

So what's the deal here?

I fired three of my sheep because they hadn't put you to sleep.

Any idea why they couldn't?

[Garfield] I think it was the 93 cups of coffee.

Most people in my world usually stop at around 80 a day.

Ah, makes sense. They put everyone to sleep

in order to convince me to hire them back.

Did it work?

Yes, but I've got to get them to come back so I can tell them.

My vortex can't seem to locate them.

Send me back. I'll bet I can.

That's hard work putting everyone to sleep like that.

Want to take a nap? We could count each other.

I had fun.

They'll all wake up in eight hours.

Then we'll put them to sleep again. And again and again.

I think I see a woman coming.

[intriguing music]

Get in position, guys. We'll put her to sleep.

Hey! Look, guys! It's... it's...

Little Bo Peep!

Come on, boys.

Time to go home, wagging your tails behind you.

[baaing]

[soft music]

[intriguing music]

[Jon] 'Night Garfield...

[screaming]

Mr. Sandman, anyway I could switch to counting lasagnas?

Ah thanks.

One,

two,

three.

This much more soothing.

Four...

[laughing]
