Synopsis: Garfield, the fat, lazy, lasagna lover, has everything a cat could want. But when Jon, in an effort to impress the Liz - the vet and an old high-school crush - adopts a dog named Odie and brings him home, Garfield gets the one thing he doesn't want. Competition. One night Odie runs away and gets dog-napped after Garfield locks him outside.

Jon, there's something

important I need to ask you.

Something that I wouldn't ask

most guys who come in here.

Wait, no. I think I know

where this is going.

- You do?

- I do.

Liz, I've wanted to ask you

the same thing for a very long time.

- Are you sure that

we're talking about the same thing?

- Absolutely.

Yeah, uh, I've never been more sure

of anything in my entire life.

Liz, I am ready

to take a chance.

- I am ready for...

- [Yips]

[Laughs]

Thank you.

- A dog!

- [Laughs]

A dog.

I'm ready for a dog.

- [Laughs]

- Hi.

- Hey, I think he likes you.

- Hi. Yeah.

- [Whines]

- Hi.

[Chuckles] He's a frisky... frisky

little fella, isn't he?

His name's Odie,

and he's not gonna make it...

if he has to live

his life in a cage.

He needs to

be loved.

[Hair Dryer Blowing]

Well, thank you. Thank you very much,

ladies and gentlemen.

- No, maybe not in my neighborhood.

- [Whining]

Hey, Boomer,

I really gotta run.

Gotta fly, everybody. Really, please,

stay behind the security fences.

So great of you

to come out to see me...

but I've got somebody waiting for me,

very devoted, almost crippled.

- [Meowing]

- No, please, don't cry.

I know what it's like to be unloved.

Well, you do.

I'll try to come back and visit,

and if I don't, I'll try to write.

- Bye-bye.

- Does anybody know this guy?

Bye-bye, everybody.

Garfield is leaving the building.

Jon, you know you don't have to do this

if you don't want to.

No. No, it's okay.

Some part of me always wanted

to know what it'd be like...

to have a pet that actually

wants to play with you.

[Laughs]

You're a good friend.

One question... Am I still gorgeous?

[Gasps]

Jon, I think we got

a little problem here.

- [Whining]

- Uh, Jon...

I can help

the transition go smoothly.

[Garfield]

Jon, it's in my seat. Jon.!

- We could all go out together. Park, dog shows,

- Jon.! Uh, Jon?

- Stuff like that.

- Uh, Jonny boy?

W-Wait a minute.

Are... Are you... asking me out?

Oh, Jonny boy, the time has come

to get a car alarm.

You're not gonna believe it. A mongrel mutt

has broken into your car!

Garfield, this is Odie.

He's coming home with us.

Whoa! You went in there to get a date

and came out with a dog?

Oh, that's bad even for you.

Oh, you're so sad!

Oh, no, no, no. We're not

bringing a dog home with us.

Hey, I ride shotgun!

What are you looking at, tick boy?

[Garfield]

Jon, it's not too late.

Quickly, turn around...

before he finds out where we live.!

[Crying]

Please take this

trouser sniffer back.!

- Please.

- Come on, Odie. Let's go.

This is your new home.

[Crying]

Come on, buddy.

Jon, you had me,

a chick magnet...

and now you've got
