Garfield

 * 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

 * 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

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

Jon Arbuckle

 * I WILL NOT HOLD! I AM DONE HOLDING! THE JON WHO WAS ON HOLD IS DEAD! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!

Dialogue

 * [First lines; We open on a phone screen, showing an image of Garfield and Jon wearing sweaters with their faces on them. Then, it shows a password lock as we hear the voice of Garfield, an orange cat]
 * Garfield: [offscreen] OK, time to eat. [He types in the password 061978 on the phone, unlocking it.] Let’s see, open the app. [He opens the Mamma Leoni’s app to make his order] I’m gonna get a double pepperoni pizza, order breadsticks, and.. Oh, lasagna. Yeah. Ooh, a new item alert! Jalapeno breadstick quick bites. Huh. It might be nice to add something in the salad family. And do I want dessert? Oooh! [chuckles] I’m gonna be naughty! Butterscotch budino. Okay, I’m gonna have five. [The app screen slides to the side to show the orange tabby cat himself] Delivery? Goes without saying… [hits NOW] now, please!
 * Mamma Leoni's App: Mamma mia!
 * Garfield: Alright. That oughta hold me 'til breakfast. [notices the audience] Oh, hey! Are you guys early or am I late? No matter. I have got a real treat for you today. [Odie, a yellow dog with brown ears, appears and barks happily] No, not a treat for you. [Odie whines sadly; sighs] Okay. [gives Odie a biscuit, and he eats it before licking the cat happily, much to Garfield’s disgust] Anyway, about that treat… [pushes Odie down] Can I just say, you will not be disappointed. [laughs] It’s a story about me… [the doorbell rings] that no one’s ever heard before featuring someone in my life you’ve never met. I don’t know about you, but color me intrigued. [A drone enters the house, delivering Garfield’s order] Oh ho yeah! Drone delivery. Welcome to the future. [opens the box for his double pepperoni pizza] You know, to really understand everything, I’m gonna have to take you back to where it all began. [notices a basil on his pizza] Don’t want anything to take away from the flavor of cheese. [flicks it off, stretches his mouth open, places the pizza in, and munches down] And like every great story, it all started… [moves his mouth in a sucking position near his drink. Odie tips the cup to Garfield’s mouth and the cat sips his drink] On a dark and stormy night.
 * [Odie holds up a cardboard thunderstorm cloud and mimics thunder and lightning]


 * [Baby Garfield 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. Baby Garfield waves goodbye to Jon] Oh. Oh! No, no, no, no, no! No! Oh, no! Oh, no! [He scrambles toward Baby Garfield and grabs him just as the box enters the storm drain. He looks at Baby Garfield’s eyes and realizes] You don’t have a home, do you? [Baby Garfield looks away sadly. Then, he stares at Jon who smiles warmly. He kisses him and they embrace. For the first time, Jon is not alone anymore]
 * Garfield: [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.


 * [The sleeping Jon is listening to a sleep app through the headphones]
 * Sleep App Voice: Imagine yourself drifting away on a sea of tranquility. There are no pets to bother you, distract you, or max out your credit card by excessively placing online food orders.
 * Garfield: [As he sleeps, his stomach growls, yawns] Oh, yeah, sorry. [his stomach growls again, waking him up] Huh? What? Who said that? Odie. Odie. Odie! [Odie wakes up] It’s time for our midnight snack. [Odie helps Garfield up from his bed. yawns] Thank you, good sir. Your kindness will be rewarded.


 * Garfield: [in the bag] What do you guys... What do you want? Money? I don't have any money, okay? Who-who carries cash anymore? I've-- I-I've got Jon's credit card number memorized. 5552-3857-5521. Did you write that down? Expiration code is 555.
 * [Inside the mall, they release the two from the bags]
 * Nolan: The cat is out of the bag! [Cackles. He throws the rope up]
 * Roland: We hope this kidnapping plan works or she’ll put us down....with her insults and cutting observations.
 * [They tie the two by their ankles and pull up the ropes]
 * Garfield: I think this is a case of mistaken identity! You must be looking for another gorgeous, lovable kitty cat! Right?!
 * [Once they’re high above, the two dogs leave]
 * Garfield: Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, where you going? No, no, come back, come back! [Odie barking] No, no. Odie?
 * Odie: Hmm?
 * Garfield: I'll handle this. All right, you guys! I'm giving you to the count of three to get back here and let us down. 1, 2, 3! 4, 5...I am not kidding here! [Later, he is exhausted while Odie plays the harmonica] 308, 309... I can't... yeah, they’re not coming. [groans] It’s over.
 * Vic: [offscreen] Psst!
 * Garfield: [He and Odie turn around to see a shrouded figure standing in the mall] Huh? [Odie drops his harmonica in awe] Am I dead? [The shrouded figure moves around] Are you an angel? [It comes to the mall ceiling by the ropes] Please take me. I am ready to go to...to the all-you-can-eat buffet in the sky.
 * Vic: What? Listen, I’m going to swing you out, cut your ropes, and drop you safely to that landing below.
 * Garfield: Wait, what? That seems a tad risky. Is there another plan that doesn’t involve cutting the rope from a 40-foot drop?
 * Vic: No time. We gotta get outta here before they come back.


 * Vic: We need to go! Come on, Junior!
 * [Hearing this brings Garfield terrible memories of the figure leaving him in the alley]
 * Vic: [flashback] Wait here, Junior. I’ll be right back. [echoes]
 * Garfield: [He pulls the shroud off to reveal the figure as his long-lost father. gasps then seethes in anger] YOU!!!
 * Vic: Hey, Junior.
 * Odie: Huh?
 * Garfield: Who is he? This is Vic, my father.
 * Vic: Look, Junior, I know how you might be upset.
 * Garfield: Upset? Why would I be upset? You only abandoned me in an alley as a kitten. I'm probably just overreacting.
 * [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.


 * Jinx: I’m from a small town outside London that you’ve probably never heard of. Oh, I scratched and clawed my way through hard times to come here with one dream.
 * [We fade to a flashback of her entering America’s Next Top Feline, walking down the red carpet as people take pictures of her]
 * Jinx: [voiceover] I wanted to be seen. I wanted to matter. [Cut to her holding a tuba. She stands still in stage fright. Crickets chirp. Voiceover] But...[wah-wah sound is heard] I was a failure.
 * Announcer: [offscreen; spotlight shines elsewhere] The winner!
 * [Fade to her sitting on a bench. A hand holds out to her, and she sees Vic and his cat crew]
 * Jinx: [voiceover] And then, I met Vic and his crew. They were outcasts. Losers. Thugs. We didn’t have much, but we had each other. We became a real family.
 * [Cut back to present day]
 * Garfield: [scoffs] Vic and family. I know where this is going. [to Roland] Excuse me, garcon? Uh, when might we expect appetizers? Perhaps some amuse-bouche?
 * Jinx: Then, one night...
 * [Cut to a flashback of the crew stealing quarts of milk from Lactose Farms]
 * Jinx: [voiceover] We were about to make our biggest score. Enough milk to last us for weeks!
 * [Jinx drops one bottle and tries to get it, only to be captured and thrown in a pound truck]
 * Jinx: [flashback] Vic! VIIIIIIC!!!
 * [Vic tries to go after the truck, but it drives off with her. Cut back to present day]
 * Vic: Jinx, I tried to come back for you. You have to know that.
 * Jinx: Oh, yes. You get an A for effort.
 * Garfield: So what happened next?
 * Jinx: Imagine Alcatraz...[Cut to her being served slop in the pound, voiceover] But smellier. It was cold and lonely...[One dog knocks her lunch away. Cut to Jinx sleeping under a smelly cat, voiceover] And stinky. So very stinky. I can’t ever state that enough. [Cut to her sulking at the fence, voiceover] But it gave me purpose. I needed to get out. I just needed help. [A ball rolls over to her. She turns to see Roland and Nolan. Jinx throws the ball to Roland, who grabs it with his mouth. Smiling, she gets an idea. Later, the three of them break out of the pound, laughs evilly. Cut back to present day]
 * Garfield: So your purpose was to escape jail and get involved with charities?
 * Jinx: Nope. My purpose was...revenge.
 * [Vic gulps in fear]
 * Garfield: Oh, I see. I went the other way with it.
 * Jinx: I’m kidding! Another cat would be bent on revenge, but I’m a… ooh, how do you put it?


 * Garfield: I can't believe this is happening! I don't see you for years! And when I do, you're pulling me into a life of crime.
 * Vic: I had this reunion playing differently in my head, too.
 * Garfield: That's the difference between us, because I never wanted to see you again!
 * Vic: I totally understand your anger but give me a chance to explain. You'll see I'm not the bad guy you think I am.
 * Garfield: A good guy doesn't leave his kid in an alley!
 * Vic: It wasn't like that.
 * Garfield: It was exactly like that!
 * Vic: No, it wasn't. Let me tell you.
 * Garfield: No, no, I don't want to hear it! This whole thing with Jinx, this is your mess, not mine! Come on, Odie. [Unfortunately, he is stopped by Roland and Nolan]
 * Roland: Can’t let you do that.
 * Nolan: We’ll be watching you.
 * Roland: Like a hawk. [They hide behind a stop sign with Nolan giving Garfield a “We’re watching you” look]
 * Garfield: [groans] Is today a Monday? ‘Cause it feels an awful lot like a Monday.
 * Vic: It’s Thursday.
 * Garfield: Not to me, it’s not!
 * Vic: Look, I know this isn't ideal. But we have to do this. So let's just try and make the best of our time together.
 * Garfield: Talk of "time together?" What are you talking about?! Once we get this milk, I want you out of my life forever!
 * Vic: Alright, just relax. Lactose Farms is nothing but a sleepy little mom-and-pop dairy. This will be a quick grab-and-go. You’ll be back home before you know it. [laughs]
 * Garfield: How do we even get to Lactose Farms? It’s way out in the country.
 * Vic: You ever jumped a train?
 * Garfield: I’ve never jumped.
 * Vic: Well, if jumping the train is too hard, just say it.
 * Garfield: How hard could it be?
 * Vic: Exactly! [laughs while knocking down Garfield] This is gonna be fun!


 * [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: You know what, Junior? This is gonna be good for you.
 * Garfield: [pulls a spike nut off his fur] What’ll be good for you?
 * Vic: What are we doing?
 * Garfield: We’re about to steal a truck full of milk from a dairy to pay back a deranged...[pulls off another] What part of that is going to be good for me?
 * Vic: All of it! You can’t even imagine the life lessons you’re gonna learn.
 * Garfield: Oh, yeah? Name one.
 * Vic: But for starters, you already know how to get on a moving train. [Laughing. Garfield not amused] I found it funny. All I'm saying is that to break into a dairy is going to take a few skills. I'm guessing a rounded, mush-filled, overly pampered indoor cat like you. [Garfield pokes his tummy] Doesn't have. So, we need to toughen you up.
 * Garfield: Toughen me up? Hey, I know tough, Vic. You obviously have never been in an Olive Garden that’s run out of breadsticks. Anyway, I’m never gonna need those skills you’re talking about.
 * Vic: But you’ll have to.
 * Garfield: I'm never going to break into a dairy or anything else. Ever again.
 * Vic: You are missing the point. You're going to learn to improvise, stick on your feet, develop moves that'll come in handy out there in the real world.
 * Garfield: I wouldn’t be in the real world if it wasn’t for you!
 * Vic: True. You’d still be hanging upside down in the mall.
 * Garfield: You know, I would be asleep at home!
 * Vic: Missing out on life all together! Look, I’m just a dad trying to teach his son some skills.
 * Garfield: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. You can't make up for five years of not being around.
 * Vic: Uh, yes, I can.
 * Garfield: No, you can’t.
 * Vic: I think I can.
 * Garfield: In fact, you can’t.
 * Vic: Yes, I can!
 * Garfield: You really can’t!
 * Vic: With your attitude, I can!
 * Garfield: [yells in anger] Okay, whatever, “dad!” [sarcastic] Wow, great lesson! [groans] I’m done talking to you, you don’t know me, and you don’t know the first thing about me. I am not pampered. I am not anything you think I am.
 * [After their talk, Odie has made the train car into a paradise for Garfield. He lays on a hammock]
 * Vic: Okay. Just gonna say that blanket is not the best idea.
 * Garfield: Ah, fantastic. Thank you. I’ll take it from here. [He puts the blanket over himself, only to be covered in spiders. screams] Get them off! Get them off! Get them off me! [Vic picks up him and lifts a bag of cedar chips over him] What are you doing? [Then, Vic opens it, dumping the chips on the spiders. He pops out of the pile. stunned] What’d you do?
 * Vic: Cedar chips. Spiders hate them. See? Another life skill learned.
 * Garfield: [stunned] I-I-I...
 * Vic: I think the words you’re looking for are “Thank you, pops.”
 * Garfield: No, the word I’m looking for is...
 * 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: I have it in spades. Watch. Maybe you’ll learn something. [He approaches Otto the bull] Excuse me. You’re Otto, right?
 * [Otto grunts in response]
 * Garfield: [clears throat] I’m Garfield. A pleasure.
 * Otto: Go away.
 * Garfield: Just wanted to say I am a huge fan. I have eaten everything that has a picture of your face on it.
 * Otto: I’m not that guy anymore.
 * Garfield: I even loved that recalled provolone from a few years back.
 * Vic: Junior, no!
 * Garfield: Yeah. Anyways, here’s the thing. Me and my crew back there, we’re in a bit of a bind. Got ourselves in a situation. A long story short, we could use your help.
 * Otto: [grunts] You’re a fan, huh?
 * Garfield: Ha ha. Oh yes. Big time.
 * Otto: Then sing the jingle.
 * Garfield: Well, I don’t really sing on command. I’m not a circus animal.
 * Otto: Sing it.
 * Garfield: Really? [chuckles]
 * Otto: Sing it!
 * Garfield: [clears his throat and sings] ♪ Lactose Farms. Lactose Farms. We’ve got milk, butters, creams, and cheeses. ♪
 * Otto: More spirit!
 * Garfield: [sings with spirit] ♪ As much as you want, as much as it pleases... ♪
 * Otto: Livelier!
 * Garfield: [sings in livelier, dancing] ♪ Come and take a look and see what we got! ‘Cause what we got is a whole lotta lot! Ha, ha! Bop chee bop. Bibbidi bop bop chee bop! ♪ [scats while Vic facepalms] ♪ The tasty goodness is our motto brought to you by Ethel and Otto! ♪ [Otto punches him to a tree, in pain] What was that for?
 * Otto: I hate that jingle.
 * Garfield: [in pain] You could’ve just told me to stop.


 * Garfield: Odie, come back! Leave him alone! He might punch you! [Odie comes to Otto and sits by his side. Otto warmly smiles, allowing the dog to stay by his side, refers to the cow in the farm] Was that Ethel?
 * Otto: [He grunts, but Odie whines to the steer. He smiles at the dog before telling his story] A few years back, Old Man Lactose was forced out of business. The corporation that took over separated me from my Ethel.
 * [Cut to a flashback of Otto being put in a wooden box while farmhands are lassoing Ethel]
 * Otto: [flashback] Ethel!
 * Ethel: [flashback] You are my day!
 * Otto: [flashback] You are my night!
 * [Soon, the bull was sent out to pasture, separated from the love of his life]
 * Otto: [voiceover] I was put out to pasture.
 * [Ethel is seen being harassed by children in the amusement park]
 * Otto: [voiceover] She was put on display as part of the tour. [Cut back to present day] I tried to get in there to break Ethel free, but they stopped me every time. Now I only see her six seconds twice a day.


 * Otto: Once you’re inside the facility...
 * [Cut to a 2D-animated rundown of the plan as the Mission: Impossible theme plays]
 * Otto: [voiceover] You will enter the electrical room. There you will locate the air vent, pop the grate, and climb up. Then you'll crawl through a maze of vents and drop down to the refrigeration room. Next, you will need to hurl your body over a 30 -foot drop to a series of hand runs. You'll propel yourselves hand over hand and drop down directly into a loading dock. From there, you'll locate the keys to the milk truck. Drive that truck to the west pasture of the complex. Cut the lock on the gate and find the closest thing we have to an angel here on Earth. You'll escort my sweet Ethel onto the truck and drive her to freedom.
 * [Cut back to reality]
 * Otto: It’s going to take mad skills to get that milk and free my dear sweet Ethel. [refers to Odie] Clearly, this one’s qualified for the mission. [refers to Garfield] But I have some serious doubts here about all of… this.
 * Vic: He’s pointing to you, Roadkill.
 * Otto: Let’s get to work.
 * [The others leave and Garfield pokes the possum with the stick]
 * Garfield: Stupid roadkill.
 * [Suddenly, the possum springs to life and grabs the stick]
 * Roadkill: Hey! [whacks Garfield with the stick] I’m workin’ here! [resumes playing dead]
 * Garfield: [groans] Definitely a Monday.


 * Otto: Alright, gentlemen, I’ve made a list of skills that you’ll need to master in order to break into Lactose Farms. Number one, develop lightning-fast reflexes.
 * Vic: You tell Garfield there's a plate of pasta on the other side of the fence, and you will see lightning-fast reflexes.
 * Garfield: Yeah, no, no, no. Depends what kind of possum.
 * Otto: [holds out a pebble] This pebble represents danger you may encounter. You need to grab it before it grabs you.
 * Garfield: [scoffs] It grabs me.
 * Otto: Snatch the pebble from my hand. [Garfield tries to grab the pebble, but hut moves it away] Too slow! [He whacks Garfield with his horn]
 * Garfield: Ow! What was that for?!
 * Otto: Being able to grab the pebble could be the difference between life and death.
 * Garfield: Alright, let me try that again. [grabs the pebble] Ha! Got it! [Otto whacks him again] What was that for?!
 * Otto: It’s never just about the pebble.
 * Vic: Come on, Junior. Everyone knows that.
 * Otto: Your head’s got to be on a swivel at all times.
 * Vic: You gotta be ready for anything.
 * Garfield: I was ready! He changed the game!
 * Vic: Sounds like someone’s making excuses.
 * [Otto rolls a boulder, and it collides with Vic, flattening him like a pancake]
 * Garfield: And what was that about being ready for anything?
 * Vic: [pops back to normal] You were distracting me!
 * Garfield: Might I suggest putting your head on a swivel?
 * Otto: You should've seen that coming! [as he hits the cats] Toes on the line! Watch your grip! Cover your side! There are surprises around every corner at Lactose Farms. You need to stay alert. [squishes Garfield and Vic from above] Too slow! A baby could've seen that coming. Too slow! Too slow! Too slow!
 * [As this goes on, Odie gets out a chair and sits down while drinking soda]
 * Otto: You'll never make it through Lactose Farms if you can't survive this training. [As he throws tree stumps as Garfield and Vic try to dodge them]
 * Vic: Are you for real?!
 * Garfield: What kind of dairy is this?!
 * Otto: The kind of dairy that requires teamwork to survive. Danger could be anywhere gentlemen. You gotta be ready to outrun it! [He lifts up a big tree and charges toward them. Garfield and Vic run away] Here comes the pain!
 * Vic: Left, right, left, right.
 * Garfield: You’re confusing me!
 * [They trip and tumble downhill, sliding on some mud, through the prickly field, jumping into a curvy looped log before coming right out of it, then getting their heads slammed on a beehive, breaking it before seeing their faces covered in bees. Garfield and Vic screamed when sliding down. When they slide by some sleeping rabbits, a mother rabbit shushes them as the cats cover their mouths from each other. Once they’re past the rabbits, they screamed again before crashing into a tree]
 * Vic: I think I'm gonna need a wring-out.


 * Garfield: Can’t believe I’m out in the middle of nowhere getting beaten up against my will by a former celebrity steer.
 * Vic: Odie, can you tell my son to please stop whining?
 * Garfield: Odie, can you tell Vic that I collapsed on this tree first and that he needs to find another one?
 * Vic: Odie, can you tell my son that I’ll gladly find another one when I get the feeling back in my leg?
 * Garfield: Odie, can you tell my father that he wouldn’t be lying in pain if he led a better life and didn’t create problems for himself?
 * Vic: Could you please inform my son that he should focus on fixing his own issues?
 * Garfield: Odie...[He notices Odie has tied both him and Vic to the tree with vines while they were arguing] Odie, what’d you do? [Odie harrumphs and walks away] After all I’ve let you do for me.
 * Vic: What is this? [He tugs on a vine, springing Garfield's foot up. Garfield moves his foot on the vine, making Vic's hand smack himself] Hey, watch it!
 * Garfield: [He snickers. Vic pulls on the vine to make Garfield smack his hand on his own face] What’s the problem, Vic? Is this bothering you? [He proceeds to tug the vines to make Vic hit himself]
 * Vic: No. In fact, I don't mind it at all. [He moves the vines in a boxing motion, making Garfield punch himself]
 * Garfield: I don't mind it either.
 * [Vic and Garfield pull at the vines to hurt each other. Odie and Otto are seen sitting on a branch, with the former eating popcorn]
 * Otto: I could watch this all day.
 * [Back on Garfield and Vic, they try to get out of the vines]
 * Garfield: Stop pulling!
 * Vic: I’m not! You’re pulling!
 * Garfield: If I was pulling, you knew it! Why does everything you do always end up hurting me?
 * Vic: Hurt you?! All I ever did was try to help you!
 * Garfield: Oh, you sure? Cause every time you're around, it ends up with me in pain. [he hits on a branch] Ow! Odie, these ropes are not funny anymore...[as he hits on a branch again] Ow!
 * [Odie and Otto fist-bump]
 * Vic: Maybe if you were a little more open to seeing me, things might be better between us.
 * 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.
 * [Vic sighs in sadness. On Otto and Odie]
 * Otto: This is about to get real.
 * [Back to Garfield and Vic]
 * Garfield: Oh, that's right. You're normally never around to actually defend yourself. No back door to slink out of this time. First you abandon me, then years later you pull me into a life of crime. Well, classic “Father of the Year” stuff, Dad. You know, why would I ever think that seeing you could be anything other than a train wreck?!
 * Vic: [angry] I DID NOT LEAVE YOU IN THAT ALLEY!
 * Garfield: [bitterly] Oh, you did? You told me you'd come right back. You never did.
 * Vic: [solemnly] 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.
 * [Fade to the past. We see Vic and Baby Garfield sitting by a bookstore. Baby Garfield's tummy growls and Vic spots a fish market across the street. They approach it and stare at the fish]
 * Fish Market Worker: Hey! Shoo, shoo! Get out of here!
 * [The worker chases them out. Vic and Baby Garfield then spot a hot dog stand. Unfortunately, a dog was there, growling at them. They quickly retreat to the same alley from before. Vic spots a food worker coming out of a restaurant to dump out garbage before re-entering. Seeing this, he gets an idea. Vic places Baby Garfield in the box near the dumpster]
 * Vic: Wait here, Junior. I’ll be right back. [He approaches the garbage can, only to be scared off by the worker]
 * Food Worker: Hey, get out of here! [Vic waits by as the food worker talks on his phone, On phone] Hey, how you doing? Yeah, yeah. Ah, I had to shoo a cat. Yeah, yeah. Digging in the trash. Yeah. So what you up to now, huh? Still taking it easy? Uh-huh. Yeah. [Time passes. It’s raining, but the worker is still on the phone, On phone] Oh, no, you're kidding. Really? [chuckles] Oh, yeah, yeah. It's been raining here for a while now. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I'll see you then. Okay, bye.
 * [The worker gets back in the building and Vic comes over to find a sardine in the trash can. He grabs the lid as a dish and runs back to the box, only to find that his son is gone. He searches around until he finds Garfield in Mamma Leoni's with Jon Arbuckle feeding him. Vic is stunned to see his son having a better life with Jon than with him. He then witnesses Garfield's eating spree in the restaurant before running off when Jon comes out with Garfield shortly after. The kitten looks around for his father, only to find nothing. He becomes sad but smiles at Jon. Vic comes out from behind a mailbox to see Garfield showing love to his new owner Jon. As Jon and Garfield leave, Vic is crushed to see his son better off without him. Fade back to present day, Garfield is crushed to hear what really happened that night]
 * Garfield: [shocked] I... I never knew...
 * Vic: I know, how could you?
 * Garfield: Why didn't you ever come visit me?
 * Vic: I did. A million times I...came to knock on your door, and I'd see what a great life you've had with Jon, so I just...thought it would be best if I kept my distance.
 * Otto: [He appears before Garfield and Vic] I sense a positive breakthrough in your relationship, am I wrong? [Vic shakes his head] Good. After an extensive evaluation, I have concluded that you two are, in fact, ready to move forward with this mission.
 * Vic: We are?
 * Garfield: How is that even possible?
 * [Odie cuts down the vines with a pair of scissors]
 * Otto: Mathematically, it isn’t. But given your present levels of incompetence and overall lack of basic skills...
 * Garfield: Huh?
 * Otto: I have determined it would take roughly...17 years to get you both properly ready for this job. And since we have...less than 48 hours, you passed. Congratulations.
 * [Odie shakes their hands and hugs Garfield. Up in the tree, Roland and Nolan are spying on them while disguised as birds]


 * [In the abandon mall, Jinx sings in French while scribbling something with a red marker. Then, she cuts paper with scissors and some tape with her claw. Soon, she hangs up three images of Vic on a board full of pictures. It is clear that she resents Vic for the failed heist. Jinx laughs evilly while scratching one picture before noticing her hench-dogs have returned]
 * Roland: She’s really losing it.
 * Jinx: [shakes off the tape] Yes, what is it?
 * Roland: They’re ready to rob the dairy.
 * Jinx: Purrrfect! Oh, everything is coming to plan. Now it’s time to make the call.
 * [Roland gets out a cellphone from his folds]
 * Jinx: Excuse me, you keep that thing in your folds? That is so disgusting. [to Nolan] You, you dial the number and put me on speaker.
 * [Nolan dials the number and puts on the speaker]
 * Female Phone Operator: [on phone] Hello?
 * Jinx: [on phone] Hello? Lactose Farms?
 * Female Phone Operator: [on phone] How may I help you?
 * Jinx: [on phone] It’s come to my attention that there will be an attempt to rob one of your dairy trucks tomorrow. It’s not important who I am or how I came to know this. Just think of me as a concerned citizen intent on fulfilling my civic responsibility as well as...
 * [On the other side, the phone operators only hear mewing on the speaker. One of the operators goes to the office of his superior]
 * Male Phone Operator: Uh, chief? We may have a situation.
 * Marge: [grabs her nightstick] Well, okay then. Let’s go have a look-see.
 * [They check the speaker with Jinx still talking...or meowing]
 * Female Phone Operator: This is the third time they called.
 * Male Phone Operator: It just sounds like a cat crank-calling us.
 * Marge: [shoves her nightstick at his nose] If it were a dog barking, I’d be on board for a prank. Some dogs are born for mischief. They just are. Not cats. Oh, no. Cats mean business. [She gets out her phone, uses the Critter Talk, and selects a cat to translate the mewing]
 * Jinx: [on phone] I repeat, there will be an attempt to rob one of your dairy trucks tomorrow. I suggest you take appropriate measures to prevent this brazen thievery from occurring. Okay, I’m done. Hang up the phone. Ha, ha. What an evil genius I am. [hangs up]
 * Marge: Well then, still seem like a prank to ya?
 * Male Phone Operator: Eh, that last part did a little.
 * Female Phone Operator: What’s our next move, chief?
 * Marge: Our next move is for me to go back to my office and formulate an ingenious plan. And you go get my car waxed. [She enters her office and approaches the mirror. To herself] Well, well, well. Would you look at that, Margie Malone? We’re having company tomorrow. I guess I better take out my finest china to serve a heaping plate...[puts on her hat] of justice!


 * [Otto sets down acorn earpieces]
 * Garfield: What are those for?
 * Otto: For us to communicate. Once you’re inside...the belly of the beast.
 * [Odie growls in determination]
 * Garfield: Uh, okay. Don’t we need something more like radio headsets?
 * Otto: [sighs] Indoor cat. These are better.
 * Garfield: It just feels like Bluetooth would be better.
 * Otto: These are better than Bluetooth.
 * Garfield: These are better than Bluetooth?
 * Otto: They’re equal, and I don’t have to pay for the brand. [He and Odie put acorn pieces in their ears. On com] Gold Eagle to Chipmunk, do you copy?
 * [Odie barks back]
 * Garfield: Of course you can hear him. He’s standing three feet away from you.
 * [Otto snorts and gets out binoculars]
 * Garfield: Oh, I see you sprung for the binoculars.
 * Otto: Now, we just need to find… a way in.
 * Garfield: Anyone ever told you that you take a lot of dramatic pauses when you speak?
 * Otto: [a beat] Yes.

<hr width70%>
 * Garfield: Oh, Vic, Vic! Look! There’s the loading dock!
 * Vic: Junior! Don’t move!
 * Garfield: What, why?
 * Vic: We’re in the middle of the pinecone! Otto told us to stay out of the pinecone!
 * Garfield: Oh, stop. There’s no pinecone. Otto’s a bit of a worrywart. I can walk to the loading dock from here. [He tries to walk, but the floor opens beneath his feet and he falls in]
 * Vic: Junior!
 * [Then, Garfield rises out on top of a big slice of cheddar cheese, eating part of it]
 * Garfield: Mmm. Oh, cheddar. Probably one of my top 26 favorite cheeses. [Vic stares at Odie, who shrugs. Garfield notices a timer ticking down.] …What do you think happens when that gets to zero? [It hits zero and the cheddar cheese is moved out with Garfield on it]

<hr width70%>
 * Jinx: [offscreen] Welcome back...[She appears] Victor!
 * Vic: Hey, Jinx. Why you here? I was-I was bringing this to you.
 * Jinx: Were you? Really?
 * Vic: Of course it was. That’s what we agreed to, right?
 * Jinx: Mmm.
 * Vic: [sighs] So, you and me square now?
 * Jinx: [chuckles] Not quite. There’s still the matter of those five years I lost because of you?
 * Vic: What? But I thought this settled that.
 * Jinx: [laughs evilly] It was never about the milk. It was about you getting caught trying to steal it and being sent to the pound. Like I was. You see, Vic, I needed you to suffer. Like I did.
 * Vic: Oh. I see. And I’m guessing you have an idea about how that should happen.
 * Jinx: As a matter of fact, I do.

<hr width70%>
 * Maurice: Oh, come on, kid. Don’t beat yourself up. Vic, man. We’ve all been burned by Vic.
 * [The other caged cats grumble and agree]
 * Olivia: Oh, yeah, the one thing about Vic you can count on is that you can’t count on him.
 * Garfield: Tell me about it.
 * Maurice: Yeah, I tell you about it. Long story short, we all used to run in a pack until we had to kick him off the crew.
 * [The cats chatter in agreement]
 * Olivia: Like I said, couldn’t count on him.
 * Garfield: Sounds about right.
 * Snickers: He’d leave in the middle of the job just to go see his kid.
 * Maurice: Yeah. He said he wanted to check up on him. Make sure he was doing okay.
 * Olivia: But get this, he never actually visits. He’d just sit across the street from his kid’s house in a giant oak tree.
 * Garfield: That never happened.
 * Olivia: He watched that kid eat and eat...
 * Cats: ...And eat and eat and eat...
 * Snickers: He put a notch in the bit every time he was there.
 * Garfield: [sarcastic] Oh, yeah. Sure he did.
 * Olivia: And he’d go every Sunday night rain or shine. Said that it was his kid’s...
 * Cats: Family dinner night.
 * Garfield: Okay, hate to tell you guys, I guaranteed that never happened. Okay? You all fell for another one of Vic’s lies. We all have ‘cause that’s what he does best.
 * [Just then, Odie arrives outside Garfield’s cage]
 * Garfield: Odie! Odie! How’d you get out? Quick! Pick the lock on my cage!
 * Jon Arbuckle: [He arrives at the pound] Garfield! There you are!
 * Garfield: JON! Oh, take me away from all of this! You can’t imagine what I’ve been through!
 * Female Pound Worker: You own this one, too?
 * Jon Arbuckle: Uh, yes, I do.
 * Female Pound Worker: You sure he's yours? He didn't have a tag.
 * Jon Arbuckle: Uh-huh. Yeah. Oh, he has a tag. [He shows her the collar and tag on Garfield’s neck]
 * Garfield: [dumbfounded] I have a collar and a tag? How long have I had those?
 * Female Pound Worker: Okay, I’m just gonna need you to hold...
 * Jon Arbuckle: [loses control of his rage] I WILL NOT HOLD! I AM DONE HOLDING! THE JON WHO WAS ON HOLD IS DEAD! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!

<hr width70%>
 * Garfield: That’s right! I’m back, baby! [He rushes over to his favorite chair] I was just talking about you, wasn’t I? [He presses the button to put it in recliner mode] Oh, I’ve missed you, too. [He turns on the TV to watch Catflix. Then, he rushes over to Pooky and his bed] Pooky! I have a lot to tell you. You’re never gonna believe it. Crazy stuff happened. I slept outside twice! I know. Oh, and I made you this commemorative pin. [gets out a pin and puts it on Pooky]
 * Jon Arbuckle: [offscreen] Dinner time!
 * Garfield: Talk later! [He kisses Pooky and runs off. He gets on the stair railing, slides down, jumps off, and floats down with an umbrella. He dances over to the dinner table, where Jon serves up lasagna for dinner. Garfield takes in the smell and Jon grates cheese on top of the food]
 * 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!

<hr width70%>
 * Garfield: He left a notch. [sighs] Yeah, right. [He looks up to see one notch followed by tons of notches scratched everywhere on the tree] He was here. He saw me grow up.
 * [Odie barks from below and Garfield uses his claws to slide down the tree]
 * Garfield: Oh. Ow. Wow. That really strings. I don’t know why I didn’t think it would. Give me a second. [gets off the tree and hugs Odie] Vic loves us! Me first, of course, but then you too! But me a lot! And first! [Odie scoffs] Wait, wait, wait, wait, but if he loves me, us, why would he let me, us, get captured at the dairy? Unless...[gasps] He wanted us to get captured! [As he walks down the street, he causes more traffic]
 * Driver: Hey, watch it!
 * Garfield: Yes! He knew that Jinx wasn’t going to let him off the hook, but if we got caught, we'd get sent to the pound and Jon would come and get us! [Odie gets Garfield off the road] Don’t you see, Odie? He was trying to save us! We have to go save my dad.

<hr width70%>
 * [Garfield and Odie head back to the mall, where they find Jinx’s big board]
 * Garfield: What is this? [They see pictures of Vic being scratched out before seeing a negative review on Mamma Leoni’s. gasp] Half a star for Mamma Leoni’s?! [growls in anger] She’s a monster. [Then, they see drawings of what Jinx plans to do to Vic] She’s gonna tie him up.. take him on a train...[gasps] She’s gonna throw him off the Mile High Bridge! We’re gonna need help. But who can we call? [Odie gets out an acorn earpiece. Gasps] Ugh, you got a waxy buildup. What’s your q-tip routine? [Odie groans] You’re right, you’re right. We can deal with this situation later. [puts the acorn piece in his ear] Hello? Hello? Is anyone there? Hello?
 * Otto: [on com] Get off the line. This acorn call is for emergency use only.
 * Garfield: [on com] Otto! Otto, please listen. I wanna make good on our original deal. But.. But I need a favor first. [a beat] Otto, are you still there or are you taking a dramatic pause?
 * Otto: [on com; then] I’m listening.

<hr width70%>
 * Garfield: So once I get on the train, I untie Vic and we jump off right as the train gets to the bridge.
 * Otto: Correct. Chipmunk will be waiting for you.
 * [Cut to Odie, he has made a net at the bottom of a cliff with spikes]
 * Otto: [on com] Confirm your status, Chipmunk.
 * [Odie barks with a thumbs-up. Otto pulls back the branch while Garfield puts on his stunt suit]
 * Otto: If you don’t jump right as the train gets to the bridge, you’ll miss the net.
 * Garfield: Got it. It’s getting close.
 * Otto: Have you considered throwing a rope over a branch and just swinging onto the passing train instead?
 * Garfield: You watch too much TV.
 * Otto: I’ve never watched TV.
 * Garfield: This way is much better than your rope idea.
 * Otto: Better than the versatile, reliable rope?
 * Garfield: Look, I’ve studied the science. I know what I’m doing.
 * Otto: And you think you can battle these villains on your own?
 * Garfield: Oh, yeah. I have a plan. [speaks on com] Odie, make the order.
 * [Odie barks and gets out Jon’s phone, confirming a new delivery]
 * Garfield: Now get ready to fling me in the direction of that moving train. [As the train approaches...] Get ready. If I don’t make it back, tell my story.
 * [The train comes near and Otto lets go of the branch, sending Garfield flying]
 * Otto: [on com] Roadkill, you’re too high! You’re gonna miss it!
 * Garfield: [on com] No, no, this is how you do it. It’s called a ricochet approach. [He gets kicked off by a billy goat, knocking him out of his suit. Then, he bounces off Otto’s belly]

<hr width70%>
 * Garfield: Yeah, in case you were wondering, I do my own stunts. Me... and Tom Cruise.

<hr width70%>
 * Jinx: Hello again! Welcome back. Now, where were we? [Soon, the two dogs hang Garfield and Vic over the side of the train, ready to drop them] No, no, don’t throw them over just yet! I want to find the perfect place for them to make the biggest splat.
 * Vic: Hey, Junior. Junior, Junior.
 * Jinx: Get ready! Almost there!
 * Garfield: Sorry my rescue didn’t work out.
 * Vic: No, you gave me another chance. That’s all that matters.
 * [Garfield smiles at his father. Roland and Nolan see this, touched at the father and son moment]
 * Jinx: Now! Now! Drop them now! [gasps] What are you waiting for?!
 * [However, the two dogs refuse to drop Garfield and Vic]
 * Roland: Their love for one another indicates that despite their current circumstance, they are at peace. [Nolan nods] Because they are together.
 * Jinx: So?!
 * Nolan: If the point of your revenge was to hurt them… It has done the opposite. It’s actually textbook irony!
 * Roland: And we’re no longer comfortable with your plan! [Nolan nods]
 * Jinx: You two are still as weak as you were when I found you sniveling in the pound! [imitates Roland] Oooh, no one will adopt us. I never grew into my folds. I hide behind them because I'm socially awkward. [imitates Nolan] Please! Somebody love me even if I can’t sit still for more than 10 seconds and have the attention span of A BLOODY GOLDFISH!!
 * Roland: We did everything you ever asked of us. I must fight with this ridiculous accent to make you feel more at home! But no more! [speaks in a Brooklyn accent] I’m New York, loud and proud! I love myself the way I am, and I’m a big, brave boy, baby!
 * Nolan: I’ve been working on my attention span! [notices a hot air balloon and gasps] Is that a hot air balloon?
 * Jinx: [growls as her mood necklace turns red, furiously] You two...are...WORTHLESS!! [She pushes her former hench-dogs and the cats off the train. She laughs evilly, only to get knocked off by an overpass]

<hr width70%>
 * [Marge drives up to meet with a mystery figure holding a kennel]
 * Garfield: [voiceover] It was a dark and foggy night. The air was damp and heavier than a broken pipe. On nights like this, you can’t swing a cat without hitting shady characters making shady deals all over town. [Marge flashes headlights at the figure, who flashes his flashlight back. Voiceover] Oh, but this night was going to be different. Justice was about to be served with a helping of retribution on the side.
 * Marge: [She steps out of the truck] Is that the package?
 * Mystery Figure: It is.
 * Marge: Well, we have a deal. [She whistles and Ethel steps out of the truck]
 * Mystery Figure: No one will come looking for her.
 * Marge: Nope. I did what you said. I burned her paperwork, and then shredded it, and burned it some more. It’s like she never existed. Except for the image of her face on millions of dairy products.
 * [Ethel comes over to the figure, who gives Marge the kennel and some keys. The mystery figure is actually the three animals with Garfield using the same Critter Talk app to mask his voice]
 * Garfield: [speaking through the translator; in disguise] This...never happened.
 * Marge: Agreed. [She leaves with the cage, revealing Jinx inside it. She growls at Marge.] Oh, save it, cat fancy! I know you planned the milk truck heist and then tried to throw those innocent cats off a train to cover it up. The boys told me everything.
 * [Jinx sees her former henchdogs now working for Marge. She hisses at them. Meanwhile, Ethel looks around until she finds Otto]
 * Ethel: Otto! [hugs Otto] You are my day.
 * Otto: You are my night. [He and Ethel stare lovingly at each other. Otto sprays cologne in his mouth and prepares to kiss her, but Ethel leaps onto him and they both have a romantic kiss]

<hr width70%>
 * [The next morning, Garfield, Odie, and Vic arrive at Jon’s house]
 * Garfield: Uh...[sighs] Well, this is us.
 * Vic: Right. Your home. I just..
 * Garfield: I just wanted to say I’m sorry.
 * Vic: I’m sorry. What are you sorry for?
 * Garfield: For misjudging you.
 * Vic: Oh. Well, thanks. Well, I just wanted to apologize to you for...
 * Garfield: Everything bad that happened to us the last three days?
 * Vic: You know, you had your hand in a few bad decisions back there, too, but...[sighs] Yeah, I’m sorry for dragging you into my world. This is where you belong here. Here with Jon and...[to Odie] what’s your name again? Odor?
 * Odie: Huh?! [growls then pants happily before hugging Vic]
 * Vic: So, um, I should go.
 * Garfield: Yeah, yeah. I mean, unless you want to come in.
 * Vic: I don’t know. I don’t think that would work. I’m...I’m an outdoor cat.
 * Garfield: Right. Sure, sure. No, I just...I figured...
 * Vic: No, no, no, I get it. But you know, I got this thing on the other side of town I gotta go do, so...
 * Garfield: No, I’m very busy, too. Yeah.
 * Vic: See you around then?
 * Garfield: You know where to find me.
 * Vic: In the kitchen. Well, take care. And remember, [imitates Otto] stay out of the pinecone. [He leaves the two alone and Odie barks at Garfield]
 * Garfield: What? You heard him. It’s for the best.
 * Odie: [shakes his head] Mm-mm.
 * [They go inside the house and reunite with Jon]
 * Jon Arbuckle: Oh, you’re back! What is going on? Are you okay? I was so worried! I was gonna add more locks to the door. You know, try to keep you in, but then I thought, well, what if they wanted to be outdoor pets? Do you want to be free range? [They shake their heads “no”, sighs in relief] I really missed you, guys, and I gotta say it’s great to be together again, the whole entire family. You have no idea what the last few days have been like: phone calls and hold times and tears...
 * [As Jon talks, Odie barks to Garfield]
 * Garfield: Don’t give me that. I asked him to stay. [Odie grumbles] He wanted to leave. [Odie groans] You heard him. He said he had to...[Odie growls] Well, I-I...[Odie growls again; groans] Fine! I’ll be right back. [He heads out of the house]
 * Jon: Wait! Wait! What? Am I using trigger words that I’m not aware of?
 * [Odie pats Jon’s shoulder. Garfield approaches the oak tree where Vic is]
 * Garfield: So you coming in or do we have to bring food up there to you?
 * Vic: I'll come to you. I just need to finish something up here.
 * [He comes down to join his son]
 * Garfield: You know, those notches show how much you love me.
 * Vic: Is that what you think they mean?
 * Garfield: Yeah.
 * Vic: I was just counting how many slices of lasagna you ate.

<hr width70%>
 * [Last lines]
 * Jon: What? Why do I have a takeout bill for 6,000 drone deliveries?!
 * Garfield: [briefly cringes, but then faces the audience] Shh.
 * ["Let it Roll" by Keith Urban and Snoop Dogg; We cut to a montage of Vic and Garfield living together. Vic uses a Walmart app to purchase a big chair on wheels to join his son. Then, they eat out food from the fridge. Next, they eat their pizza the same way Garfield did in the opening before picking their teeth clean. At the restaurant, they, along with Odie, disguise themselves to order food. On the bed, Garfield lies on Jon’s face and Vic lies on top of him, breaking the bed down from his weight. Cut to them riding in Jon’s car while sticking their heads out the windows. Jinx is seen doing community service by cleaning up trash. She throws her grabber and helmet down in anger. At Garfield’s birthday party, everyone is invited. Otto, Ethel, Liz, Marla, Vito, Vic’s old cat gang, the token animals, Roland and Nolan… Even Nermal appears, asking for a slice of cake. Garfield glares at him. Finally, Jon puts up a big picture of him and his pets, including Vic]
