Garfield

[edit]
  • And that's how I adopted Jon.
  • [Jon: Say when.] Never, Jon! Bury me in cheese!
  • Oh, I apologize in advance. The eating you're about to see will not be pretty. And if you have young children, this would be a good time for them to leave the room.
  • You saw nothing.
  • [Liz Wilson: We're gonna need the big scale!] Did she need to announce it to the whole office?
  • Odie, I'm dreaming again. Slap me across the face.
  • I think this is a case of mistaken identity. You must be looking for another gorgeous lovable kitty cat.
  • This is Vic, my "father".
  • I haven't seen you for years, and when I do, you're on the run from a deranged cat!
  • Oh, cheddar, probably one of my top 26 favorite cheeses.
  • Hey, I know tough, Vic. You obviously never been in an Olive Garden that's run out of breadsticks.
  • If I don't make it back, tell my story.
  • No. I bought takeout.
  • Definitely a Monday.
  • And that's why we should go from Sunday to Tuesday.

Vic

[edit]
  • Wait here, Junior. I'll be right back.
  • Hey, Junior.
  • If you have never jumped on a train, just say it.
  • Odie, you think he'd see that coming.
  • We need to toughen you up.

Jinx

[edit]
  • Welcome back, Victor!
  • Would you prefer a meowmosa.
  • My purpose was revenge!
  • We didn't have much but we had each other.

Dialogue

[edit]
[The kitten becomes sad and sheds a lot of tears]
Jon Arbuckle: Oh, no. No, no, no. Don't cry, don't cry. [The tears make a river that leads to a storm drain. The sad kitten waves goodbye to Jon] Oh. Oh! No, no, no, no, no! No! Oh, no! Oh, no! [He scrambles toward the kitten and grabs him just as the box enters the storm drain. He looks at the kitten’s eyes and realizes] You don’t have a home, do you? [Garfield looks away sadly. Then, he stares at Jon who smiles warmly. The kitten kisses him and they embrace. For the first time, Jon is not alone anymore]
Garfield: [He pulls the screen up, bringing us back to the present while eating some breadsticks] And that's how I adopted Jon.
[The text "MONDAYS" slams down in front of a white background. Jon opens the curtains]
Jon: Time to go to the vet!
[Cut to a vet appointment, Garfield is set on a scale while Jon looks lovingly at Liz. The scale breaks beneath the cat and Liz gets out an intercom]
Dr. Liz Wilson: [over PA] We're gonna need the big scale!
Garfield: Does she need to announce it to the whole office?
[Cut to Garfield hanging on a tree branch before a strong wind blows him off, into the house, and out through a window. Multiple cuts see Garfield getting scared by a spider, a pie thrown at Garfield’s face, Odie licking him, his ice cream dropping to the ground when he licks it, and his toothpaste squirting too much. Then, Jon puts on his protective gear to give Garfield a bath]
Garfield: [as he's being bathed] No! Please! No! Ow, it's so hot! Ow, it’s really hurting! Ow, ow, ow!
[Soon, Jon dries him up and he’s all poofy. Odie drops his ball in shock and Garfield glares at him. Cut to Garfield shredding the MONDAYS paper in a paper shredder]
Garfield: And that's why we should go from Sunday to Tuesday. Okay, where were we?
[Suddenly, they hear a claw scratching against metal]
Vic: Oh, no. Not her. Quick, follow me, junior!
Garfield: Oh, no, no, no, no, no. You lost the privilege of telling me what to do a long time ago.
[Red light glows behind them, revealing a maniacal cat with a glowing mood necklace]
Jinx: Hello, Vic!
[The three jump back and scream, startled]
Vic: [scared] Dang!
Jinx: Scare-cam! [laughs] Oh, you should’ve seen your faces! [makes spooky noises then laughs as she runs over to Nolan and Roland holding a phone] Okay, boys, show me! [The phone shows a video of the trio being scared by her sudden appearance, laughs] Post that ASAP! [laughs]
Vic: Hey, Jinx. I haven’t seen you since… oh, well… no hard feelings though, right?
Jinx: Oh, I don’t think so. I’m a hugger! [hugs Vic]
Garfield: A part of me wants to be mad at her for kidnapping us, but you gotta love her energy.
[Back with the animals, they slide down a hill and stop by the railroad tracks]
Vic: Our best shot at jumping on a train is here.
Garfield: Hold on a sec. I’m just taking in the wind speed, the direction of the sun, and various angles. Yes, I say we jump the train from right here.
Vic: Didn’t I just say that?
Garfield: I’ve seen enough television 1,000,000 times. We’ll need 100 feet of rope...
Vic: Uh-huh. Rope. Yeah, okay. [sets Garfield on a branch and pulls it back]
Garfield: We'll throw the rope over that branch right there.
Vic: Branch. Uh-huh. Got it.
Garfield: Can you follow me? Alright. [as the train approaches] And then, timing it just right, we swing over as the train passes by and land on top of the car. Boom!
Vic: Or we can do this. [He lets go of the branch, launching Garfield through an open train car] Odie! Jump, boy! [As the two jump on]
[Garfield is sprung off a tree, launching him into another. The two trees bounce him back and forth while Nolan and Roland watch from a distance]
Nolan: Part of me wants to help him.
Roland: No. This is how he learns.
Vic: Oh! Here’s our stop!
Garfield: Really? Where?
Vic: [He suddenly kicks him off the train, laughs] Oh, Odie, you think he’d see that coming.
Garfield: Oh, you do remember you were the one who left me in an alley, right?
Vic: You don't know what you're talking about!
Garfield: [clear throats] Then please enlighten me.
Otto: This is about to get real.
Garfield: Oh, that's right. You're normally every round to actually defend yourself. No back door to slink out of this time. Just you defending me! Years later, you pulled me into a life of crime. Well, classic "Father of the Year" stuff, Dad. Why would I ever think that seeing you could be anything other than a train wreck?
Vic: I DID NOT LEAVE YOU IN THE ALLEY!
Garfield: Oh, you did? You told me you'd come right back. You never did.
Vic: No! That is not what happened.
Garfield: Oh, please! You're probably on the run from someone like Jinx and I was in the way.
Vic: No. No, that night... That night was different.
Jon Arbuckle: Say when?
Garfield: Never, Jon! Bury me in cheese!
Jon Arbuckle: I have two more in the freezer. Let me know when you want them. [timer dings] I’m gonna go check on dessert.
Garfield: Oh, I apologize in advance. [gets out a fork and a knife] The eating you are about to see will not be pretty. And if you have young children, this would be a good time for them to leave the room.
Odie: Mm-hmm!
