03x11 - Muscle Mouse/Cupid Cat

[bunniefuu]

-[Garfield snoring]
-[alarm rings]

[upbeat theme song playing]

-[Garfield] Hee!
-[remote clicks]

[whimsical music playing]

[gasps, screaming]

[laughing]

[growling]

[cats exclaiming]

-[sighing]
-Guys, you know what I really miss?

A succulent, tasty mouse.

Mmm. Yeah. It's been too long
since I've had me a good mouse.

You guys eat mice?

Sure. Don't you?

Uh, no. I've never eaten a mouse.

And you call yourself a cat?
I've eaten hundreds of mice.

I've eaten thousands of mice.

Guys! Guys!
So, how come you're not eating mice?

You seen any mice around lately?

-They're all over at Garfield's house.
-[chuckles]

Garfield. Another non-mouse eater.

Hey, Lucky, why doesn't Garfield eat mice?

Two reasons.

One, they're his friends.

And B, mice don't taste like lasagna.

[laughing]

That's a good one.

[lively music playing]

[mice laughing]

[chattering]

[gasps]

[groans]

Oh, thanks, Garfield.
Hey, guys, save a hunk for Biff!

Biff? Who's Biff?

He's my best pal from mouse school.

He was the puniest,
skinniest mouse in the class.

-He's comin' to visit today.
-[door opens]

-I haven't seen him in years.
-[Jon whistling]

[barking]

That's Jon's whistle.

Everybody hide!

[mice screaming]

[grunting]

[panting]

[Jon whistling]

You know, Garfield,

I've noticed the fine job you're doing
keeping the house free from mice.

It's comforting to know
you'll keep it that way while I'm gone.

[Odie snickering]

Aah! Right.

I'm glad because I don't wanna
revoke your lasagna privileges.

Jon says that if he ever sees
a mouse in this place,

it's no lasagna for a year.

[both whining]

I think I'm all packed.

Oh, maybe I should take along
some snacks in my suitcase.

[chuckling]

[groans]

Help!

[chattering]

Anyone know where Squeak is?
I'm his friend Biff.

Biff? Squeak's skinny, puny pal
from mouse school?

That was before I learned
the value of working out.

Now I'm the strongest mouse in the world.

[squeaking]

[barking]

-Jon's coming. Everybody hide!
-[screaming]

Biff, I said hide!

I'm not afraid of any humans.

But I'm afraid of no lasagna for a year.

Odie, Garfield, I'm leaving.
See you in a few days.

[gasps]

[Biff] Hey! Get that…

And remember, Garfield,
this house must stay mouse-free.

[Squeak] Help? Somebody? Anybody!

-Uh-huh.
-[Biff] Hey! Get that tail off me!

[mice cheer]

Whoa!

[crashing]

Hey, Biff. You're cute.
Welcome to the party!

Look at you all! You're a disgrace!

You're fat and flabby and out of shape!

And you're eating junk!

This cheese isn't even organic!
Where's Squeak?

Oh, he's somewhere around.

Squeak? Oh, Squeak? Squeak?

I'm not leaving
until I see my buddy Squeak…

and until I whip these
sorry rodents into shape.

[echoing] You're going to work out.
All of you. Understand?

[all mutter in agreement]

I can't hear you!

[all] Yes, sir!

All right. Fall in line. Now march!

Hup-two-three-four!

Hup-two-three-four! Hup-two-three-four!

I hope he gets them in shape
before Jon gets back.

Odie, put that large,
cold nose of yours to some use.

-Find Squeak.
-[sniffing]

Hup-two-three-four!

Knees up, shoulders back!

Hup-two-three-four!

Squeak's gotta be around here someplace.

[Squeak] Come on.
Somebody please let me out.

What's he got in here?

Razor, socks, toothbrush,
polka-dot shorts.

Jon wears polka-dot shorts?

Up, down! Up, down! Up, down!

Keep those arms straight!

Here. I'll show you
how to do a proper push-up.

Like this.

[squeaking]

Hoowah! Now, you try about ,.

Biff, I kinda--

A thousand push-ups. Now!

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

[straining]

One.

[straining]

Two.

[straining]

Two and a half…

[crying]

[groaning]

Any sign of Squeak?

Hup-two-three-four!

Well, keep looking.

He may be the only one
who can get his friend out of here.

Squeak! Where are you? Squeak!

[Jon humming]

-[phone ringing]
-Oh.

[Jon] Oh, hi, Liz.

-No, I just checked in to my room.
-[muffled voice]

No, I'm having dinner with that publisher.
Fortunately, I packed some snacks.

In fact, hold on. Let me get one.

Hmm. That's funny. I was sure I packed
a whole bag of crackers and nuts.

[grunts] Okay. So I'm out.

The question is, where am I?

[Mexican music playing]

[panting]

-[panting]
-[snoring]

-Excuse me.
-Caramba!

Sorry to wake you up,
but could you tell me where I am?

[in Mexican accent]
This is Mexico, gringo.

You interrupted my siesta.

Go away,
por favor.

Mexico? Oh no! I gotta get home!

[groaning]

[panting]

[grunting]

[Squeak] This is a terrible way to travel.
No wonder Nermal doesn't like it.

[grunting]

-[grunting]
-[railroad crossing bell ringing]

[Garfield] Hmm.

Odie, it's been a week
and no sign of Squeak anywhere.

[whining]

Oh man. Jon comes home today,
and Squeak's the only one

who can convince
that muscle-brained mouse to leave.

He's turned this place
into a rodent health spa.

This morning, I found them
using my bed for a trampoline.

We've got to get the gym and him
out of here before Jon gets home.

[Biff] Here, guys. Pass these flyers out
to every mouse for miles around.

"Get strong at Biff's Mouse Gym."

You have to stop this,
and get out of here pronto!

Immediately. If not quicker.

I'm not stop stopping now.
Have you seen what I've done?

Mice makes life!

Panic is growing all around the city.

Normally meek and harmless mice
are asserting themselves.

This morning, our town's top exterminator

was ruthlessly thrown out of a house

by what appears to be
a mouse with a black belt.

Brace yourselves for the worst, folks.

It looks like mice
are starting to take over the city.

[screaming]

-[laughing]
-Help! Help! Mice! Mice!

Biff, please.
Jon's plane gets in any minute now.

If he finds mice when he gets home--

I'm not leaving. And especially not
until I see my pal Squeak.

I hope he's all right.
Maybe some
cat
got him.

-[cuckoo sound]
-[laughing]

-Huh?
-Wow. It's like a buffet in there.

Please. I can't make it through
a whole year without lasagna.

I can't make it through
a reality show without lasagna.

This'll be the first time
I've ever eaten mouse.

What do they taste like?

-Taste like?
-Eh…

-Well…
-You know, it's kinda hard--

But you guys have eaten mice, right?

What?

Sure. All the time.
Been eating 'em for years!

Well, then come on!
I can't wait to eat a mouse!

Hey, Irv. Why so glum?
Working out is good for you.

I'm still worried about Squeak.

It's not like him to abandon us.
What if there's an emergency?

What kind of emergency?

[screaming]

Oh!

Like gettin' caught
by a bunch of mangy, hungry cats.

[both screaming] Help! Cats! Help!

-Help! Help!
-Huh?

What are you waitin' for?
I thought you loved eatin' mice?

Oh, I do, uh, but I'll be polite.
I'll let Harry go first.

No, I wouldn't think of it.
You first, Lucky.

Mouse-eater! Oh no!
Maybe one of those cats ate Squeak!

-I ate a mouse just the other day.
-
Hey!

Did you eat my friend Squeak?

-[Harry] Whoa!
-Oh!

-Ow! Ow!
-[crashing]

Aah!

Did you eat my friend Squeak?
Did you eat my friend Squeak?

Let go of me!

[screaming]

I've never eaten a mouse in my life!

-[Biff] Did you eat my friend Squeak?
-[crashing]

Did you eat my friend Squeak?

No! Honest!
I've never eaten a mouse in my life.

-[panting]
-Did you eat my friend Squeak?

No! I never ate a mouse either!
I never had the guts!

-Whoa!
-[crashing]

[growling]

-[doorbell ringing]
-[clanking]

[teeth chattering]

[thudding, crashing]

[screaming]

I wonder what's in here.

[squeaking]

[grunts] I am!

Oh! Squeak! Squeak, Just in time.

You gotta help me
get your friend Biff out of here!

-[Harry screaming]
-[crashing]

-[groans]
-[Lucky screaming]

[crashing]

[screaming]

[crashing]

[groaning]

And if I ever catch any of you
even tasting a mouse--

Biff! Biff!

[gasps] You're okay, my friend!

[Squeak giggling]

We'll have the big reunion later.

Right now,
you've gotta do something for me.

[Biff] For you, anything.

[groaning]

[lively music playing]

[Harry grunts]

Uh, I don't get it.

Neither of you ever really ate a mouse?

[groans] Well, uh…

-Not a real mouse.
-[clank]

[Jon] Garfield! Odie! I'm home!

[mice screaming]

I'm glad the house is as free of mice
as it was when I left it.

Oh, it is. It is!

[sighing in relief]

Oh, thanks, guys.

[Squeak] You're very welcome.

You know, Garfield, you could stand
to lose a few pounds yourself.

You ought to exercise.

Okay. I'll work out vigorously
until the end of this episode.

-[Garfield screams]
-[thud]

[cuckoo sounds]

[groans]

[whimsical music playing]

[cheerful music playing]

Aah.

Don't you just love it

when we come up here to the farm
and stay with my brother?

[yipping]

I wanna go home.

[Jon] There's the sun,
the air, the great outdoors.

I wanna go home.

What more could anyone want?

TV, pizza delivery, air conditioning,
an Internet connection,

my own bed, and not being woken up
at : a.m. by a stupid rooster.

I wanna go home.

[hoedown music playing]

I just wish Doc Boy didn't work so hard.

Don't call me Doc Boy.

You know what he needs? A companion.

You know what I need? To go home.

I think you're working too hard.

You're alone too much.

Doc Boy always works like that.
Have I mentioned that I wanna go home?

[calculator beeping]

I wanna go home.

Look, Garfield, I know you're bored.

Here, take my cell phone.

There are games on there,
and you can use the Internet.

Maybe it'll keep you busy.

I wanna go home.

Don't you do anything but chores?

Not now, Jon. Can't you see I'm busy?

[flame burning]

[calculator beeping]

I was trying to say
that maybe you need a woman in your life.

I don't have time for a woman in my life.
I have a farm to run.

-Hmm.
-Care for an omelet?

You should have someone at your side.

Someone to share
the pleasures and trials of life.

[clucking]

[cheerful music playing]

Where will I find someone?

I work from dawn till dusk,
and I live in the middle of nowhere.

[musical car horn honk]

[gasping]

Pizza?
Gloria, you usually deliver packages…

and I didn't order any pizzas.

[Garfield exclaiming]

No, but I have a strange hunch who did.

Did you use my cell phone
to order those from Vito's?

Yes, and I still wanna go home.

So, how are you, Mr. Arbuckle?

Busy. I have to slop hogs.

Say, have you seen
that new monster movie at the drive-in?

It's still playing if you haven't.

-[Doc Boy] Oh.
-Watch this. He'll blow it.

[Odie whining]

I don't have time for monster movies.
I have corn to pick.

[chewing] I told you.

Bye.

[motor starting]

Oh.

[Odie whimpering]

You want the crusts?

Mm-hmm.

Too bad there aren't gonna be any.

[whining]

Here. I was kidding.

By the way, I still wanna go home.

[Jon] I'm telling you,
she's interested in you.

Oh, she's the Rusharound Express Driver.

She's interested in picking up
and delivering packages.

It's not natural to live your life alone.
Life is meant to be shared.

You know what the three
most wonderful words are in the world?

"Let's go home."

Jon, could we discuss this
after I plow the north ?

[groaning]

Oh!

[grunts]

[angrily groaning]

-Garfield! We need to pack.
-Oh!

We're packed.

I don't wanna stay and watch him
spend his life picking apples… alone.

[phone ringing]

[snoring, yawning]

-Hello?
-Jon? It's your brother.

Sorry to wake you at this hour.
When you were here,

you said something about the three
most wonderful words in the world.

But you didn't say what the words were.

[snoring, yawning]

I love you.

Well, I love you too, Jon.
But what are the three words?

Ah! I get it.

Talk to you in the morning.

[snoring]

"I love you."

Yeah, that might be nice to hear
once in a while.

[tires screeching]

-[doorbell ringing]
-I'll get it.

[Garfield] Of course you will.

Oh! Doc Boy!

I thought about what you said.
You're right. I need a woman in my life.

Excellent!

The best place to find one is in the city.

I had my friend Elmer drop me off,
and he's going to watch my farm for me.

I'm going to stay with you
until I find the love of my life.

-Oh, and don't call me Doc Boy!
-And don't call you Doc Boy! Right.

[dishes clanking]

He said as long as he's staying with us,
he insists on cooking.

Here you go. A nice, healthy farm dish.

Dandelion and wheatgrass soup.

[Jon] Ah!

[bubbling]

[all gasping]

[man on TV]
To grow proper rutabagas,

you need well-prepared soil…

-[Jon yawning]
-…in a sheltered area with full sun.

That's good to know.

You don't mind me watching
my farm programs, do ya?

[all yawning]

No.

Good. There's a five-hour special on later
about different kinds of shovels.

[all] Aah!

[snoring]

[grunting]

[barking]

[Doc Boy snoring]

We have to help that man meet someone
so we can get Doc Boy out of here.

[whining]

See you later, Jon. I'm going to town.

[snoring]

[panting]

[exclaims]

[slurping] Hmm.

[Doc Boy panting]

Hi there.

I seem to have lost my Nobel Peace Prize
somewhere around here.

Oh no!

He's just gonna walk up to strangers
and try to strike up a conversation?

-[whimpering]
-Huh?

You're asking what could happen?

Oh well. I have several more at home.
Say, I was wondering if…

[thud]

That.

Oh.

You can't just approach strangers
like that. It's rude.

Oh wait.

[melancholy music playing]

[gasps]

Oh.

This is promising.

[whining]

He's figuring out something's wrong
with his just-fell-off-the-tractor look.

He's goin' in to buy himself a new outfit.
Odie, this is great.

[cheerful music playing]

[gasping]

Hey, that's not a bad outfit
if you wanna look like Binky the Clown.

Anyone out there remember Binky?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

"Seven-foot tall lady wrestler, age ,

who plays the bagpipes
seeking male, any age,

who enjoys watching bread go stale."

Hmm. Not for me.

-[gasps]
-[whistling]

Oh.

[action music playing]

-Excuse me, miss.
-Huh?

May I hold your fine dog for you
while you tie your shoelace?

Why, that would be very nice of you. Here.

Keep a good grip on him.

He gets very upset if he sees a cat.

Hey, she's actually talking to him.
That's a good sign.

[growling]

-[gasps]
-[growling]

[barking]

[Doc Boy] Hey, stop!

[whimpering]

-[gasps]
-[action music playing]

Stop! Whoa!

[barking]

[Doc Boy] Stop! Stop!

-Stop! Stop!
-[barking]

[tires screeching]

[Doc Boy] Stop!

[screaming]

[barking]

[whimpering] Down, boy.
Mustn't chomp the kitty.

[snarling, barking]

[woman] Give me that!

Hey! Wait! Would you like
to go out with me sometime?

[sighing]

[chuckles] Yech.

Hi, Garfield.
I'm not doing so well with women.

I need a magic potion
that will make them like me.

[sighing]

-Huh?
-Aye, aye, aye.

This guy doesn't get it.
There are no magic potions.

It's just a matter
of people liking each other.

[Doc Boy] Hey.

"Try Philippe's Cologne.
Makes men irresistible to women."

Sounds like just what I need.

[bell ringing]

-That kind of thing never--
-[door closing]

One whiff of this,
and the ladies will love me.

[sniffing] What is that wonderful smell?

Is it you?

[sniffing] It's… it's you.

-What is that fragrance?
-Oh, you smell so divine!

[women chattering]

[Garfield exclaims]

[women chattering]

Ladies, please. I'm from a farm.

-Don't get too excited--
-[women] Huh?

-[woman ] He's getting away!
-[woman ] Don't let him get away!

Please, ladies! I'm outnumbered. [panting]

[mooing]

There you are,
you wonderful-smelling creature.

You're mine! All mine!

Yes! I'm yours! All yours!

Let's go out to dinner some night.
Where would you like to go?

Anywhere that I can smell you.

[approaching footsteps]

Oh! Henry!

-What are you doin' with my girlfriend?
-[whimpering]

[thud]

[engine roaring]

I'm sorry you couldn't find
your soul mate, Doc Boy.

Maybe give it more than one day.

[sighs]
Or maybe I'm just meant to be alone.

And don't call me… you know…

[cheerful music playing]

Gloria? What brings you here?
I didn't call for a pickup.

We have a date, remember?

A date?

Yes. You sent me these gorgeous flowers
with the nicest card.

"Dear Gloria,
please accept these modest flowers.

Would you go out with me
to see a movie at the drive-in?"

Oh, I thought you'd never ask me.

But I-- Well, I-- [spluttering]

[romantic music playing]

Garfield, did you use my cell phone
to order flowers for Gloria

and compose that cheesy invite?

Nice work.

You see, Odie, you don't have to go out
and find happiness.

You just have to be willing
to let it find you.

Whoa. That was deep, wasn't it?

[whimpering]

Oh, Garfield. Almost forgot.

Here's your delivery.

[Garfield] And, of course,
there are other ways of finding happiness.

[upbeat theme music playing]
