Dialogue

[edit]
Nermal: Garfield, Jon brought a dog home.
Garfield: I'm aware, Nermal.
Nermal: Why would he do a thing like that?
Garfield: Gee, I don't know, Nermal.
Nermal: It just seems like a weird thing to do, bringing a dog into a house that already has a cat.
Garfield: Can we drop it? I mean, it's no big deal. It's just a splattered bug on the windshield of my life.
Nermal: A bug?
Garfield: A dimwitted, smelly, goofy, splattered bug that I will deal with appropriately and enthusiastically.
George: Hardy-har-har! Yeah, right!
Garfield: As you can see, I'm still Jon's favorite.
Nermal: See you later, Garfield. Good luck with the bug thing!
[part of the opening scene, when Garfield wakes up and tries to wake Jon up]
Garfield: Oh, Sleeping Beauty, wake up. You can stop dreaming about me, because I'm here. Now, just wake up. You've got work to do. You're not just my owner, you're my primary caregiver.
Jon: [still asleep] He-he-he-he. Stop that, tickles. He-he-he-he. [throws his arm over him]
Luca: You're on the wrong side of the street, fat cat. Beat it!
Garfield: And you, Luca, the wrong side of the evolutionary curve.
Luca: Okay, that's it. You're gonna get it good today.
Garfield: I make a point to get it good every day. The real question, Luca, is how shall I outwit you this time?
Luca: What?
Garfield: Shall I baffle you with simple math?
Luca: I know how to spell.
Garfield: Or should I distract you with something shiny?
Luca: Now you're making fun of me.
Garfield: I hope so. You're no fun to look at.
Luca: You'll never get the best of me, ya li--! Uhh.
Garfield: I think I just did.
Luca: [realising that Garfield has tangled his [Luca's] chain around the duck statuettes in his owner's front garden] Not the ducks again!
Garfield: Jump back! And kiss myself. Oooh!
Luca: If I ever get off this chain, you're goin' down.
Garfield: Everybody back up! I don't know how wild this thing is gonna get. I love the smell of cinnamon-apple in the morning. It smells like... victory.
Luca: God! I hate this fat cat.
[Jon is in his office downstairs in his house, working on his computer. Garfield is sitting on the desk]
Garfield: [feel relaxed] Aah. So much time and so little I need to do. [Just a chubby little mouse appears when Jon spots it]
Jon: Mouse! [Garfield also spots]
Garfield: No thanks, I'm full.
Jon: Get him, Garfield!
Garfield: Get him, Jon. [While Jon is chaseing the mouse] Oh, there's always gotta be smashing and crashing. Nobody poisons anymore. There's my ball!
Jon What good is a cat that can't chase a mouse?
Garfield: I don't do the chase thing. All right, I'll handle this. I know you don't hear me, but can't you just listen?
Garfield: [feel relaxed at home] Oh, do I feel good this morning. I slept like a fat cat. Hey, tall dark and human, what's for breakfast?
Jon: [looking for Odie, concerned] Odie!
Garfield: Relax, I think he was gonna camp out.
Jon: Where are we going?
Garfield: Well, he probably had a sleepover at Luca's, I think.
Jon: Odie!
Garfield: Well, maybe he's fetching the paper for the neighbors. Where is that silly dog?
Garfield: Oh...delicious!
Garfield: Another day ruined. Oh, you little suck-up! Oh! No! Down! Down, dumb dog! What part of no don't you understand? The push off the chair? OFF! I don't want to play. Oh, look, what am I supposed to say? Thanks for saving my hide with Luca? Okay, thanks for saving my hide with Luca. Now, get off!
[Arlene and Nermal while watching Odie, who is very sad after Garfield locked him out]
Arlene: Poor Odie. That cat is such a pig!
Nermal: [confused] Garfield's a pig?
Arlene: You never put the dog out at night.
Nermal: Why not?
Arlene: Because dogs run away.
Happy Chapman: Any work from the network yet?
Wendell: No, but they're looking for a dog act on Good Day, New York.
Happy Chapman: Dog act?! Story of my life: looking for a dog and I'm stuck with a cat!
Wendell: I thought the segment went quite well.
Happy Chapman: [mockingly] "I thought the segment went quite well." Of course it went well, you toad! The fifty housewives who saw it loved it. [sees his brother, Walter J. Chapman, presenting the news on TV] Oh please, what a know-it-all! And everybody always said I was the handsome one. I was the smart one. And I was born first! But there you are, "live from the Hague", and here I am, stuck working with this sack of dander on a dead-end regional morning show.
[While Jon kicks Garfield out of the house at night, after Garfield accidentally wrecked the house in a fit of rage]
Garfield: You just can't do this, Jon. He's trying to tear us apart. Don't you see that? You know me, I'm too lazy to try to destroy your house. [Repeatedly tries to go back inside, but Jon keeps blocking him] I was provoked, pushed, prodded, driven mad. You can't kick me out of my own house like I'm some kind of animal! [Jon closes the door] Oh, come on, Jon. Jon! You know I'm scared of the dark.
[Arlene, Luca and Nermal confront Garfield for what he did to Odie]
Luca: Hey! What are you lookin' at?
Garfield: Nothing, just looking for some company.
Nermal: Keep walking, creepo.
Garfield: What's going on?
Arlene: We know how much you hated Odie. We know how much you wanted him gone.
Garfield: Wait a minute. All I wanted was to sleep in my own bed!
Arlene: And to do it, you cast Odie out into the cold, cruel world?!
Nermal: We saw how you locked Odie outside last night!
Garfield: Oh, I don't believe you, guys. I didn't know he was gonna run away. He's a dumb dog! No offense, Luca.
Luca: Uh, what?
Garfield: You can't blame me for that.
Nermal: Any one of us could be next.
Arlene: Yeah. There's no room for anybody else in Garfield's world.
Garfield: Huh? Oh, that's a little dramatic. Well, I guess I might have been a little bit tough about protecting my turf, but I don't hate the guy.
[Jon gives Garfield some mashed up cat-food and sets down his own microwavable hash-browns next to Garfield's cat food bowl]
Jon: Bon appetit. [walks over to the sink]
Garfield: [sarcastically] Mmm, delicious. [disgusted] Yuck! [when Jon comes back with a fork, he does not notice that Garfield has taken his hash-browns and has put his own bowl of cat-food where George left his own breakfast; Jon accidentally takes a bite of the cat food]
Jon: [disgusted] Phew! [he runs to the sink and spits in it as he turns on the faucet]
Garfield: [smugly] Well, actually, it's liver-flavored.
Arlene: Garfield, are you alright?
Garfield: I think so. Luca's about to have Odie for lunch.
Arlene: If it wasn't for Odie, you'd be Luca's chew toy.
Nermal: Yeah, he saved your life. Odie's a hero!
Garfield: Why, because I wasn't ripped to shreds? No, Odie's an imbecile until further notice.
Garfield: Hey, moondust, if I were you, I'd grab a nice piece of carpet. Jon doesn't let me sleep up top. Ever.
Jon: [sighs] Wanna sleep on the bed buddy?
Garfield: Wha...?
Jon: O.k,
Garfield: I think I'm going to blow Cat-Chow Chunks.
Joe: Night, Odie! Night, Garfield! Sleep well!
Garfield: Great. Wish me luck with the nightmares.
Garfield: Thanks a lot, partner.
Louis: Oh, yeah. Hold up, G.
Garfield: What?
Louis: Watch out for the po-po. You know, 5-o? Control-o?
Garfield: [confused] Huh?
Louis: Animal control, man!
Garfield: Oh, that po-po.
[Louis, a chubby little mouse who was running when Garfield arrives]
Garfield: Louis, what are you doing in the house when Jon's home?
Louis: Sorry, Garfield. Man, I couldn't help it.
Garfield: Look, when he sees you, he expects more from me. Don't you get that?
Louis: Jon's got those macadamia nut cookies I'm trying to maintain. You understand?
Garfield: Sure, as long as you understand that I have to eat you. [Louis moans]
(Comes outside sees the mouse in Garfield's mouth)Jon: Aw see I knew you could do it. Your the best cat a guy can have. (Pets him on the head and goes back inside)
Garfield: Have you tasted yourself lately?
Louis: Hey, it wasn't exactly the first-class lounge in there for me, either.
Garfield: Get yourself lost, Louis. Take a powder for a couple of days, get a haircut, and grow a beard.
Louis: Cool. I owe you one, G.
Jon: I can't just go out and pretend like nothings happened
Garfield: If you tell her the truth, you'll feel much better. And you won't have to see her anymore. It's kinda creepy having a vet around the house, anyway.
Joe: What am I going to do?
Garfield: The one thing you can't do is tell her the dog's gone.
Jon: I have to tell her
Garfield: No.That's not what I said! Schmuck.
Happy Chapman: [annoyed] I can't go on like this anymore, Wendell. I've got to get a dog.
Wendell: Well, I think that is a lovely idea! I know you've been sad and lonely since the divorce, and I've tried to be a friend--
Happy Chapman: Not for me, you imbecile; For the act. If I could get my hands on a really talented dog, wouldn't Walter J. just choke on his Emmy?
Wendell: [sees something] Like Odie?
Happy Chapman: Yeah, yeah. Now he was good. He was kind of dopey-looking and spry and--
Wendell: [sees a poster saying "Dog found"] Lost. [see Odie on the poster]
Happy Chapman: Huh? [Chapman comes over to the window to see the "Dog Found" poster; His eyes widen upon recognizing the dog]
Happy Chapman: I believe you found my dog. He answers to "Odie".
Mrs. Baker: Odie?
Happy Chapman: Family name. [spots Odie] Oh, Odie! Oh, come on! There you are! Yes! I can live again now. How could I ever repay you?
Mrs. Baker: An autograph would be splendid!
Happy Chapman: Then splendid it shall be.
Garfield: You know... I think I had a nightmare like this once. [screams as he falls into a lasagna truck, then crashes, causing empty boxes to go flying] Once again, my life has been saved by the miracle... of lasagna.
Garfield: Why? Why has this happened? I was the one. It was all about me, not about some stupid, snivelling, smelly-- high-maintenance, disco dog! [gets enraged and kicks the ball into a standard lamp] Oh, no.
[Mrs. Baker answers the door to Jon and Liz]
Jon: Hi. I'm Jon Arbuckle.
Liz: Hi.
Jon: Um, I think you have my dog Odie.
Mrs. Baker: I think you're mistaken.
Joe: No, I saw the flier. Odie's my dog.
Mrs. Baker: No, he is Happy Chapman's dog.
Jon: [confused] Happy Chapman?
[Mrs. Baker holds up a hand as if to say, "Hold on a sec."]
Mrs. Baker: [holding an autographed picture of Happy] The gentleman with the cat on Channel 37. He came and took Odie home. Odie's a family name, you know? [Jon and Liz look at each other] Well, uh… Good day.
Jon: Wait. Wait.
[Mrs. Baker shuts the door anyway. Jon and Liz turn away in shock]
Jon: Happy Chapman took Odie? You think he's got Garfield too?
Liz: I don't know. But we're gonna find out. [she and Jon walk away]

(While the dogs are attacking Happy chapman):Dog: All right, boys! DOG PILE! Hit him low! Hit him high!

Garfield: Thanks, boys. The home team will take it from here. Better split before Animal Control gets here.
[Nermal and Arlene are watching TV]
Walter J. Chapman: This is Walter J. Chapman with breaking news from the Midwest. Abby Shields reporting. What do you got for me, Abby?
Abby Shields: The details are sketchy, but it appears that a deranged man may be the cause of all of the trouble here.
Nermal: A deranged man? What's this?
[Two police officers take Happy to a police car]
Abby Shields: In fact, police are bringing the suspect out as we speak.
Walter J. Chapman: Aaahh! Good grief. It's my idiot brother. [makes a "Cut" gesture]
Nermal: Hey! It's Happy Chapman. He's going for a ride in a police car.
