What you paid to get in.
- Connecting flight 235
From chicago to new york is in
The final boarding stages.
This is the last call
For passengers.
That means you in the ugly coat!
- I'm hurrying!
Excuse me. Pardon me. Pardon me.
Excuse me.
Oh, phew! I finally did it.
I'm taking a vacation
Without garfield.
Oh.
- Hello. I guess we'll be
Seatmates for a while.
I'm rosalyn.
- I'm-i'm-i'm jon arbuckle.
I'm heading for new york.
I'm going to spend the weekend
In the big apple.
- Big apple? Good idea.
- So, jon, tell me
About yourself.
- Well, I'm a cartoonist
And I have a cat named garfield,
But I left him at home.
- Home.
- He's hundreds of miles away.
- Ladies and gentlemen,
We have just landed at kennedy
International airport
In new york.
Please keep your
Seatbelts fastened until
The plane comes to a complete
And final stop.
- Do you know your way
Around new york, jon?
- Oh, not really.
- Well, maybe I could show you
Around, say, about 8:30?
I'll meet you in the lobby
Of your hotel.
I know a really wonderful
Italian restaurant
Near central park.
- Great!
Look at all those lights.
Oh, it's 7:45 already.
I'd better get dressed.
Quick shower and a shave and--
- Ta-da!
- Garfield?
How did you get here?
- Knowing you, it was
Probably economy cruise.
- Hey! There's nothing
But canned lasagna in this bag!
Where's my shaving kit?
My socks? My underwear?
- Well, I had to have room
For the electric can opener,
Didn't i?
What's your underwear
Compared to the possibility
Of me starving to death?
- Now listen carefully.
I met a beautiful woman
On the plane.
She likes me and I'm not gonna
Let you spoil this weekend.
You're not to set one foot
Outside this hotel room!
Do you understand?
- Oh, gee. Thanks a lot.
First you try to leave me,
Your best friend, home, and now
You're gonna spoil my weekend.
- [ Whistling ]
You look terrific, rosalyn.
- Well, are you ready for
The best italian food you've had
In your life?
- This is the ultimate insult.
How could jon go to an italian
Restaurant without me?
- What have you got on
A jon arbuckle?
- That name sounds familiar.
- A cartoonist?
Okay, he's probably just a mark
She met on the plane.
Yeah, she'll go for his wallet.
Rosalyn is the best pickpocket
I've ever seen.
- Pickpocket?
That woman is a pickpocket?
Figures. What would a woman like
Her want with a guy like him?
- [ Giggling ]
- I have to make sure
Jon isn't alone with her.
I was gonna do that anyway.
- I ordered
Linguine calamari.
- What is it?
- It tastes like spaghetti
With squid all over it.
- Garfield!
- You leave my friend jon
Alone!
If anyone's gonna clean him out
Of everything he owns,
It's gonna be me!
- Let's get out of here,
Rosalyn.
- Wait! You can't leave
Without me!
- Driver, take us anywhere!
- I can't let her
Be alone with him!
- Sorry about what happened
At the restaurant.
- Oh, that's okay, as long
As I'm with you, jonny.
- Rosalyn, I gotta hand it
To you.
- Oh, don't bother.
I'll help myself.
- You know so many great
Places to go.
I really admire your--
Garfield!
- What a tough climb.
- Aah!
- Don't worry.
He'll never find us here.
There isn't a chance in--
Garfield!
Will you excuse me, dear?
I have to settle something
Once and for all with my cat.
- Why, certainly, my darling.
I'll wait inside.
- Garfield, how could you?
One weekend away from you!
One evening! That's all I ask!
- Whoa! Time out! Earth to jon!
- I'm gonna give you money
And put you in a cab
And send you back to the--
That's funny.
I was sure my wallet was in--
Jeez! Did rosalyn take...
Rosalyn! Come back!
Rosalyn! Rosalyn!
She took...
- Your wallet?
- My wallet!
- I know.
- I know, too.
- I'm feldman, federal bureau
Of pickpocket prevention.
I've been after her for months.
Here's your wallet back.
- Thanks for a lovely evening.
- Bye, rosalyn.
- Bye, jon.
- Garfield, I'm sorry.
You're my best friend.
- True.
- I shouldn't have tried
Going off without you.
How can I make it up to you?
- Well, I have an idea.
- You know, it would have been
Cheaper just to let her
Take the wallet.
- Hey, I'm an expensive date.
- A weed? Hmm.
- Bravo!
- Encore! Encore!
- Author!
- Ta-da.
- Oh, hi! Nice to have you
Here again, but you should have
Been here last week.
Sheldon had quite an adventure.
Well, it's a long story.
I guess it all started
With this mother turtle
Out by the lake.
Well, she laid an egg
And, well, as you know,
Turtles bury their eggs
In the sand to hatch them.
- Now you be a good little egg
And hatch while your mommy
Is bowling.
It's the only way to have a kid.
- Everything would have been
Fine except that this egg,
Well, it had other ideas.
- Oh, I don't like to be
Buried underground!
And I don't like being a
Turtle either.
Let's see what
We have to eat here.
- What a cute baby!
I hope my--
My!
Come back, my baby!
- Oh, no! I am not going back
To be a turtle!
It's just too slow.
- Now, while that was going
On, not far off, booker and
Sheldon were on a worm hunt.
- Wait'll you see the worm
Trap I set up, sheldon.
- You've been doing this
For months, booker.
How many have you caught?
- Well, let's see.
[ Mumbling ]
None.
- I thought so.
Well, I have a feeling today
Won't spoil your perfect record.
See you later.
- I'll get a worm! Ha!
- Orson: so there sheldon was
Wandering through the woods.
- He's never gonna catch...oh!
- There you are, my baby.
- I'm not your baby.
- Now, don't say that.
You'll always be my baby.
Now be a good little turtle.
- I am not a turtle!
- Look at this.
Not even born and already
He's lying to his mother.
- This is the greatest worm
Trap ever built!
All I have to do
Is bait this into the rock
To catch him.
Say, I wonder what worms eat?
You catch fish with worms.
Maybe you catch worms
With fish.
Say, let's see.
Here's a recipe for pizza.
I didn't know worms ate pi--
Aah!
[ Laughing ]
I'll get you, worm!
Sheldon, let's go back
To the farm.
- I'm not--
- Let me tell you what that
Lowdown, spineless worm
Did to me!
- Orson: well, they headed back
Here to the farm, which is just
What sheldon wanted to do
And couldn't.
- Now you go to sleep, my baby.
- I am not your baby!
I'm a chick!
- Oh, hush.
I'll sing you a lullaby.

- Help! I'm under a turtle!
- Orson: she figured if he
Thinks he's a chicken, hatch him
Like a chicken.
Meanwhile, back here...
- Oh, this is gonna be great!
- Orson: roy had a new trick:
Industrial strength
Sneeze powder.
[ Snoring ]
[ Almost sneezing]
[ Sneezing ]
[ Crash ]
[ Laughing ]
- Ahem. Gesundheit.
[ Laughs ]
- Orson: it was just about then
That booker returned with what
He thought was sheldon.
- There he is! The worm!
- Whew! I made it!
I don't have to live out in
The lake and be a turtle.
- Orson: that's what he thought,
I guess, he was no less mistaken
Than roy.
- There's sheldon!
- Being a turtle is boring.
Ah...ah...
- [ Laughs ] I love it!
- Ah...ah... Ah-choo!
- Roy thought this was
A funny joke.
At least that's what
He thought until...
- Sheldon? Sheldon?
Ahem, excuse me, little turtle.
Have you seen sheldon?
Here's his shell,
But where's sheldon?
He...he...[ Gasp ]
Oh, no!
- Oh, this place
Is too strange for me.
- Sheldon sneezed himself
Into nothingness
And it's all my fault!
They should put warnings
On these!
I've done a terrible thing!
- But, of course, sheldon
Was safe.
Well, if you call this safe.
But sheldon had an idea.
He fired up his barbecue
And cooked burgers
And when it got hot enough...
- Aah!
Baby, come back!
- Sheldon ran as fast as his
Little legs would carry him.
- Ma! Ma!
- Baby? My baby?
There you are. You hatched!
- Orson: she recognized him
Right away.
A mother always knows.
- Mommy!
- Mommy's here, my dear.
- Orson: well, that's the story.
Oh, wait! I forgot
What happened with roy.
- I am slime.
What I did, I am not fit
To eat with pigs! Sorry, orson.
I am no good. I am rotten.
Hi, sheldon. I am pond scum.
I am worse than pond scum!
I am...
- Hi, roy. What's going on?
- Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh, sheldon, you're alive!
Not yet born, but alive!
Oh, I'm so, so glad to see you
And I promise I will never play
Another joke on anyone ever
As long as I live!
Until next week's show.
- And that's the end
Of the story.
I'm happy to say that
Everything is back to normal
Around here.
- [ Sneezing ]
- Gesundheit!
[ Ticking ]
- My alarm clock
Hasn't gone off yet.
This is a new kind
Of alarm clock with a special
Early detection system
For mondays.
It warns me when it's monday.
[ High pitched alarm ]
[ expl*si*n ]
Yeah, it's monday, all right.
What could be worse
Than mondays?
- Hi, garfield!
- What could be worse than
Monday, garfield?
Oh, how about monday
With nermal around.
- I learned a new cute trick.
Watch!
This must stop.
[ Pounding ]
- Yes? May I help you?
- I'm interested
In the free kitten.
- What free kitten?
- This sign was in
Your front lawn.
Free kitten to anyone,
No questions asked, might even
Pay you $20 to take it.
- Garfield? Sorry, this offer
Void where prohibited.
You can't give nermal away!
- I know. I've tried.
- And paying someone $20
To take nermal!
- You're right. Make it 50
And I'll throw in odie.
- I should have let her
Have you!
Either you be nice to nermal
Or I'm never going to feed you
Again!
I said, either you be nice
To nermal or I'm never
Going to feed you again!
- I'm thinking! I'm thinking!
- Woman on tv: oh, john!
- John: oh, marsha!
- Marsha: oh, john!
- John: oh, marsha!
- Man: oh, marsha!
- I wanna watch cartoons,
Garfield, but all that's on
Are soap operas.
Tell me a story.
- Okay, come sit down.
Once upon a time,
There was a kitty
Who was so obnoxiously cute
That the handsome prince
Mailed him to abu dhabi and--
- Garfield!
- All right, I'll tell you
The story of
Hansel and gretel.
Once upon a time,
There were these two kids
Who lived in a little cabin.
Hansel and gretel were always
Very hungry,
Always eating like pigs.
- You mean like you, garfield?
- I'll ignore that.
Their father was a woodcutter
And there wasn't much wood
Around to cut.
One day he said to them...
- Kids, we're all out of food.
[ Both gulp ]
- Gretel asked her father...
- Daddy, dear, why can't you
Buy more food?
- Because...
- Her father said...
- I'm a woodcutter and no one
Wants this woodcutter
To cut wood.
- Gretel had an idea.
- I have an idea, father.
Hansel and I will go find food.
- Their father liked the idea.
- Don't come back without
A pizza or chinese food
Or something!
- So they headed through
The forest.
As they walked, they dropped
Bagels with cream cheese so
They could find their way back.
- Wait a minute. I thought
They dropped bread crumbs.
And where'd they get
The bagels?
- Ahem. They passed a deli.
Don't interrupt.
So they walked until
They couldn't walk anymore.
That was when hansel said...
- I'm starving.
I can't go on.
It's been so long
Since I've eaten.
- Nermal: how long had it been?
- Garfield: about nine minutes.
That's when gretel said...
- I smell gingerbread!
- They ran through the forest
Until they found where
The smell was coming from.
There it was,
A house made entirely
Of gingerbread!
- Oh, was it really made
Of gingerbread?
- Well, not quite.
Actually, it was made of sugar,
Enriched flour, ferrous sulfate,
Thiamin, mononitrate, sodium,
Pyrophosphate and various
Artificial colours.
But they were hungry enough,
It didn't matter.
They ate and they ate
And they ate, and all the time,
The witch who lived there
Watched them eating her out of
House and home.
She was delighted 'cause she was
Looking forward to cooking them.
- Cooking them?
That's awful!
- It's just a story like those
Cartoon shows on tv.
- Oh, no. They never do things
Like that on cartoons.
Cartoons teach you
You should be sweet and nice
And always agree with everyone!
- Yeah, sure.
Anyway, so the witch
Invited them in.
She said...
- Come in, little children,
And I will give you
A real treat.
- She took them over to the
Stove, but hansel and gretel
Knew what she was trying to do.
So before she could cook them,
They shoved her into the oven
And then--
- Stop! Kids shoving old women
Into ovens? That's awful!
- Garfield, what are you doing
That's got nermal so upset?
Never mind. Whatever it is,
Stop doing it.
- That poor little old lady!
- All right, all right.
There must be a way
To tidy this story up.
I know. So the kids
Didn't shove her into the oven.
Instead, they used her phone.
Hansel called the city building
Commission and said...
- Hello? I'd like to report
A house made out of gingerbread.
- In seconds, the building
Inspectors were there.
They told the witch...
- You are in violation
Of section 17/jw
Of the city zoning code.
This structure is unsafe.
- They condemned it.
It was sold at auction
And bought by a guy
Who was putting up condominiums
And mini malls and that meant
A lot of work for woodcutters.
Hansel and gretel's dad
Not only got work,
He got to take home what was
Left of the house and the kids
Ate happily ever after.
The end. There. Happy?
- But the poor old witch.
Garfield, that wasn't a nice
Story like the ones they show
On saturday mornings.
- All right, all right!
So the witch went into business
For herself by franchising
A chain of gingerbread
Daycare centers.
- Having fun, kids?
Hmm, you're a chubby one!
[ Cackling ]
- And she lived happily
Ever after. The end.
- That was a nice story,
Garfield.
- Jeez, it's getting tougher
To please kids these days.
It's only a story.
