[snoring] [clock ringing]

[upbeat music]

[funky music]

[hopping]

Garfield, you agreed we'd exercise every afternoon!

-[yawning] -[TV sound]

I must have been delirious from lack of pie or something.

Let's go jogging.

It's time for physical activity.

Here's my idea of physical activity...

[Jon screams]

I'll let you off now, but later, we're going jogging!

[crash]

I'm missing my favorite game show,

-Million Dollar Name That Fish! -[Odie mutters]

[panting and muttering]

No, I will not throw the stick so you can go fetch it.

[Odie howls]

I have to go watch Million Dollar Name That Fish!

[Odie and Jon moaning]

Hi, Garfield.

Time for the meeting.

Meeting? What meeting?

The meeting of the International Nermal Fan Club.

You promised me that if I left you alone for a week,

you'd come to the meeting.

[purring]

[sigh]

-Who's the president of this club? -I am.

Who's the vice-president of this club?

I am.

How many members do you have?

[proudly] Just me.

Haaaaa!

[dropping sounds]

-[angry meow] -[door slamming]

Days like this, I wish I could be in about eight places at the same time.

Good afternoon and welcome to TV's top game show,

Million Dollar Name That Fish!

On today's show...

[breaking news jingle]

We interrupt your game for this breaking news story.

What could be more important than Million Dollar Name That Fish?

We have reports that Dr. Thaddeus Bonkers

has perfected a device that will enable him

to clone or, otherwise, perfectly duplicate another person.

Here's Dr. Bonkers now...

Dr. Bonkers, is there any truth to the rumor

that you are cloning people?

What? Absolutely not.

That rumor is absurd.

Well, there you have it straight from the source.

Cloning people? A ridiculous idea.

[gasp]

And now we know.

Dr. Bonkers is not using new cloning technology

to create duplicate human beings.

Where do people come up with such things?

We now return you to Million Dollar Name That Fish.

Gee, it would be nice to have a clone or two of myself around.

I could go jogging with Jon and stay home and watch TV.

I could send myself out for sandwiches.

I could...

I could look into this...

[Dr. Bonkers] If you came to ask about my cloning ray,

you’re wasting your time.

[clones chatting]

I do not want to disclose it until it is perfected.

[overlapping conversations]

[device launches]

[scanning sound]

[laser sound]

[applause]

I have to go, the Mad Scientists League

is having a baseball game tonight.

I am the entire starting lineup.

[dramatic music]

Oh my, he left the cloning ray completely unguarded.

It would be wrong of me to take it home and make duplicates of myself.

[screeches]

If anyone asks,

tell them my evil clone took it.

[cheerful music]

Oh, no! Stop!

[screaming]

[horn]

[screaming]

[scared moan]

No excuses, Garfield!

We're going out jogging, now!

Sure. Just give me a second.

[device starts]

[scanning sound]

[laser sound]

[chuckles]

Garfield?

I hope you're ready to run.

Ready for the fifty mile hike?

Now, maybe I can watch TV and...

[Odie whines]

One moment, please.

[device sound]

[screeches]

Come on, boy! I'll throw the stick and you fetch it!

[panting]

[Odie barks happily]

[screeches]

[door slams]

[laser sound]

I'll go find Nermal while you watch TV.

[chuckles]

Thanks, handsome!

[joyful music on TV]

[Nermal crying]

What good is having a fan club if I don't have any fans?

Hey, Nermal!

Where's the meeting?

The meeting?

Of your fan club.

I actually have a member for the International Nermal Fan Club!

Awesome.

[sigh] This is great.

I don't have to do anything.

My clones do it all for me!

Now, Mrs. Bonnie Lou Underburger of East Moline, Illinois!

For one million dollars and a jar of tartar sauce,

name that fish!

Uh... Halibut?

No, wait. It's not a halibut.

A cod?

It's a mackerel.

Tuna?

No, salmon?

Sturgeon? Perch?

Mackerel! Just say mackerel.

[panting]

Isn't it a great day for running, Garfield?

[panting] There are no great days for running.

[Odie barks]

[Odie barks happily]

[dropping sound]

[Odie barks happily]

[sighing] Oh, boy...

[Garfield panting]

[Garfield screaming]

[Nermal, on mic] Would someone like to propose

that today and every day be declared Nermal Cat Day?

So moved.

It has been moved.

Is there a second?

I second.

It has been moved and seconded.

All in favor say "Aye!"

Aye, aye, aye...

The ayes have it.

Now, would someone like to propose that I be on a stamp?

[frustrated meow]

[resigned sigh]

[TV] Sorry, Mrs. Underburger.

You didn't name that fish and win the million dollars

or the jar of tartar sauce.

Oh...

I wanted that tartar sauce.

[yelling] Should have said mackerel!

[doorbell]

Oh! Maybe that's the pizza I ordered.

Wait 'til you see what I thought of!

Here is the pizza you ordered, kitty cat!

One moment, please.

[device starts]

[scanning sound]

[laser sound]

Here is the pizza you ordered, kitty cat!

[laser sound]

Here is the pizza you ordered, kitty cat!

[laser sound]

Here is the pizza you ordered, kitty cat!

[Garfield clone panting]

I just realized...

How come I have to do this and he gets to sit home and watch TV?

How about if he runs and I stay home to eat

and watch Name That Fish?

Garfield!

We aren't finished with our jogging yet!

[funeral march]

No, no!

I can't take any more of this!

He can come out here and throw the stick!

[dramatic music]

[Odie barks]

[Jon struggling]

When I was a kitten, people said:

"Well, he can't get any cuter than that."

And look! I fooled 'em.

[roaring]

This must stop!

But enough about me!

Let's talk about you, Garfield.

What do you think are my most adorable qualities?

Haaaaaa!

Hey! You come back here!

We didn't vote to adjourn yet!

-[laser sound] -Here's the pizza you ordered, kitty cat!

[laser sound]

Here's the pizza you ordered, kitty cat!

-[laser sound] -Maybe next,

I'll order Chinese Food delivered.

[laser sound]

All right, your turn to jog with Jon, my turn to nap.

You go throw the stick so the dog can fetch it!

[all] Here's the pizza you ordered, kitty cat!

I'm not listening to Nermal another second.

You go do it.

[Vito's clone] Here's the pizza you ordered, kitty cat!

Well, I'm going to make my own clone!

No! I want to make my clone!

[overlapping voices]

[device launches]

[scanning]

[scanning]

[scanning]

[scanning]

What's going on here?

[Vito's clones] Here is the pizza you ordered, kitty cat!

[Nermal] Garfield! Come back to my fan club meeting!

I'm the cutest cat in the whole world!

[Odie's clones barking]

[Jon's clones] What's going on here?

[Dr. Bonker's clones] Stop! Everyone stop!

[rumble]

[overlapping voices]

[Dr. Bonkers] My cloning ray was missing!

[Dr. Bonkers clone] I figured only the cat could have taken it.

[Dr. Bonkers clone] I see we were right.

My cat's sorry.

But you've got to get rid of all these extra mes and hims...

Not to worry.

As you can see...

...the clones disappear after a while.

So, all we have to do is wait and the extras will disappear.

What do we do in the meantime?

We have an idea!

An idea, and enough pizzas!

Now, for one million dollars and a jar of tartar sauce,

name that fish!

[all talking]

You know, except for pizza,

you can have an excess of anything in this world.

You can even have too much of yourself.

[Garfield clones] We agree!
