This is a rather large mistake.

The upper crust.
- Looks like you got
The crumbs.
- Ladies and gentlemen,
Garfield and friends.

Three glorious days
And 16 miserable nights
At the beautiful hotel trousers
Where the c*ck
Are smaller than the bellhops,
But not by much.
And it's a new car,
It's the spaghetti 7,
The first car made completely
Out of ravioli.
Just fill it up
With unleaded marinara sauce,
And off you go.
And it's all yours,
You lucky devil,
Courtesy of name that fish.
Binky.

To eat all these fish
Before the water gets too high.
Well, you better start.
- This can't be happening
To me.
It's gotta be a dream.
Please let it all be a dream.
- Hey, cat, where you going?
- See, I knew it.
I'm still sound asleep.
What? Where--ahh,
It was just a dream.
That awful clown,
I hope I never see him again.
[ Doorbell rings ]
- I'll get it.
Yes?

And is today your birthday?
- Yes.
- Hey, gary, tell him
What we have for him.
- Right you are, binky.
Jon arbuckle,
You'll receive a special
Binky birthday surprise
First, he'll sing happy birthday
To you in a restaurant
And embarrass you
In front of all your friends
Then he'll present
Humiliating gifts to you
Hit you with pies
And dress you in a costume
Guaranteed to make you wish
You were never born.
These and other
Demeaning birthday surprises
Are all yours courtesy
Of binky the clown.
- Well, what do you say?
- There. I got rid of him.
That's your present.
Happy birthday.
- Giddy up, horsie. Giddy up.
Whoo-hoo.
- Ride 'em, cowboy.
- Having fun, guys?
- Whoa, there.
Scram, nitwits.
Make room for a real--
[ Horse neighing ]
Yeah, horse. Faster!
Faster, you stupid horse!
What's the--what's the big idea?
Pigs love mud.
- Yes. But we horses are
Afraid of mud.
Whoa, watch me sh**t the curl.
Watch me hang ten, uh, four.
Here comes another wave.
I'm trying to invent
Mud surfing.
- Oh, this is a calamity
And a catastrophe.
What a disaster. Oh,
woe is all of us
- Wade, you have got to
Stop panicking like that.
- But this is bad,
Bad news, orson.
- Wade, there is no news
In the world that could be
So awful that it warrants
That kind of panic.
What is it?
- Your brothers are coming
To visit?
Oh, this is a calamity
And a catastrophe.
Oh, woe is everyone,
Me especially.
- You told me never to panic.
- But this is serious.
You never heard
How my brothers
Used to treat me.
They used to play
Runt ball with me,
And I was the runt.
- Hey, brother.
- Yeah, let's toss around
The old pigskin, shall we?
- Oh, let's.
- Hey, guys. Don't do this.
- 17, 91, Eleventy-six. Hike.
- Go out for a pass.
- I got him. I got him.
Shucks, I missed.
- My brothers coming here
Is the worst thing
In the whole world.
- Hey, chill down, pigaroo.
Don't get your bacon
In an uproar.
- Hey, bo, you're always
So calm and unlike i.
How do you do it?
- There's no point
In getting bananas
Just because you got
Some bad news or, like,
Things went wrong
Or they're sneaking music
In behind you to cue your song.

- Hey, man, just scope it out.
There's only two kinds
Of problems in the world,
The ones you can solve,
The ones you can't.
No point worrying about
The ones you can solve,
And no point worrying about

On your wool. [ Oinks ]
Would that make you mad?

Make me mad.

You like a basketball,
And bankshot you.
Would that make you mad?
- No, that wouldn't
Make me mad.
- Hey, this guy's no fun.
[ Oinks ]
- No fun at all.

Our runty brother.
- Gee, I wonder where orson is.
He must have left town.
Orson must be far,
Far away in another country
Or something.
Please don't hurt me.
He's in here.
Sorry, orson, I'm a coward.
- I know. And I understand.
- Hi, brother.
- Care for a little game...
- Of runt ball?

- Guys, don't do this.
Guys, please don't do this.
- Oops, I missed.
- No, I got it.
- No, I got it.
- I want to kick the extra...

- It's my turn.
[ Pigs oinking ]
- Guys want to play tug-o'-w*r?
Might get me real mad
If you won?
- Really? Ha ha ha.
Sure, sheep.
- So we can get back
To orson later.
- You, uh, got it wrapped
Tight around you?
- Sure thing.
[ Oinks ] we're gonna pull that
There sheep right into the mud.
- How do you figure
On doing that?
- Well, you're on the other end
Of this rope, and we, uh...
- Uh, who is at the
other end of this rope?
- Bus.
- Bus?
- Yeah, the 3:14 bus
To the next county, dudes.
- Hey, brother,
What time you's got?
- 3:14. Uh-oh.
- Oh, thank you
A thousand times.
- And you got mad, bo.
I never saw you get mad before.
- Oh, I get mad, wade.
I just save it up
For when folks
Are mistreating my friends.
- But what do we do
When the bus comes back
With them in four hours?
- Hey, like, no sweat.
Got a train schedule right here.
They'll be just in time
For the 7:25 for californ-i-a.
- I like it.
- It's all just a matter
Of staying cool.
- Garfield,
Where are you going?
That's not a hot dog.
That's a hot dog truck.

[ Barking ]
Sorry, but you can't
Come with me.
You'll get into trouble.
[ Dog whines ]
Yeah, I know.
It wouldn't have hurt me
To let him tag along. Okay.
Odie. All right.
I guess you're handy
to have along.
If we get lost,
We can always follow the trail
Of doggie drool home.
[ Arf ]
Yuck.
See, odie?
The sign says don't walk.
You should always do
What the sign says.
See? Don't walk.
And now it's changing to bark?
[ Barking ]
Don't bark.
Don't bark?
Polka?

I don't understand it,
But at least I won't get
A ticket.
Here we are.
Tropical fish,
My favorite place to eat,
Except that they usually
Get really rude when you
Bring in tartar sauce.
[ Whines ]
Oh, you want to know
What these signs mean.
Well, this one means no smoking.
This one means no food.
And this one means,
Mm, I'm gonna need
One of my brilliant disguises
If I'm gonna get in there
This time.
There, they'll never
Recognize me now.
- Huh?
- But you might blow my cover,
Odie, so you'll have to wait
Out here.
And I don't want you
Getting in any trouble.
You stay right there on that x.
You understand?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Now, whatever you do,
No matter what happens,
Don't move.
Remember, don't move.
Ah, a menu.
I wonder what
The guppy du jour is.
Boy, there sure are a lot
Of fish jokes in the show
This week.
- Hey, there's a dog
Over there.
Quiet doggy, you're
going to the pound
Like it or not.

Come from, fella?
Nice doggie.
We're gonna have to call
The animal shelter about you.
- Everything's under control
Here, but we got a call
Over on grove avenue.
- Let's roll.
Have to take you
along with us, fella
No time to stop.
Hold on.
These turns are kind of sharp.

- You moved.
