- I can't believe we get away

With this every week.

[ Music ]

- Yeah, can't be too careful

With this cat.

- Ha ha! I made it.

Ha ha ha! I avoided the cat!

I made it!

Yaaah!

- You're late.

- Oh, no.

Oh, I'm really sorry

About this.

- Oh, it's not so bad.

Last week he had quicksand.

I'd thought you'd like this

Letter from a lawyer.

- From a lawyer?

"Dear mr. Arbuckle..."

So and so and so and so.

"Your third cousin,

Twice removed, norbert,

Has died."

So and so and so and so--

"A reading of the will."

Garfield, cousin norbert

Left me something in his will.

- Is it edible?

- Come on. We have to

Go pack.

- You know, garfield,

Whenever you leave on a trip,

No matter how you plan,

You always have the feeling

You've forgotten something.

- Yeah, I wonder what

We forgot.

- Help. Somebody, please.

- "And to my business

Partner, elmwood kraft,

Who robbed me blind,

I leave absolutely nothing."

- What! He didn't leave me

Anything?

- Hey, that's the way it goes,

Fella.

- I think I'm gonna be rich.

I'm gonna be rich.

- "And to my distant cousin,

Jon arbuckle, who probably

Expected to be mentioned

In my will--

Hello there, jon."

- Well, who is getting

His estate?

- "And lastly, to jon's cat,

Who ate me out of house

And home every time they

Visited, I leave my most

Prized possession,

The klopman diamond."

- This is an outrage!

I was his partner and I should

Have that diamond.

- The will says the cat

Gets it, and the cat gets it.

You wouldn't want it.

- Garfield, you're rich!

- Don't worry, I won't forget

The little people.

- I must warn you,

The klopman diamond

Has a curse on it.

- A curse? Get real,

Legal eagle.

- I--i don't care about

Any curse!

I want that diamond,

And I'll have that diamond!

- What are you going to do

With the diamond, garfield?

- Nothing silly, something

Sensible and logical.

I wonder how many burritos

It would buy.

- The klopman diamond has

Been handed down from owner

To owner for centuries.

So many of its owners met

Mysterious ends

That the diamond was believed

To be cursed.

- That curse stuff

Is nonsense.

- Let me off here, driver.

I'm just taking what's

Rightfully mine.

I'll get it if I have

To follow that cat all over

The world!

- Hello.

This is garfield,

Your doorman.

- Cat, you must sell me

The diamond.

- No.

[ Whimpering ]

- You're bored, odie.

Want to do something?

Okay, I'll give you a choice.

Either we can discuss

The socioeconomic status

Of the world,

Or I'll throw a ball

And you fetch it.

- Yeah.

- Always a sucker for

The intellectual stuff.

Okay.

- Bad luck. That could have

Happened to anybody.

[ Boing ]

- I gotta get jon to read

Thinner books, or paperbacks.

But that wasn't bad luck.

It was just one of

Those things.

Nothing more will go wrong.

[ Barking ]

- What's going on here?

- No, roger, we deliver

The wet cement to elm avenue.

That's two blocks over.

- Hello?

This isn't funny.

- Just a little more work

With the chisel, garfield.

- I guess I ought to be

Grateful there aren't

Any pigeons in here.

[ Pigeons cooing ]

- You must sell me

The diamond!

- How many times do I have

To tell you? No!

This might be a good time

To sell it.

I can take a hint.

I don't need a house

To fall on me.

- Diamond for sale.

Going once. Going twice.

- Here, my personal check.

- I assume you have

A picture i.d.

And two major credit cards?

- It's mine.

At long last,

The klopman diamond is mine!

[ Tires screech ]

[ Crash ]

- I'm the luckiest man ever.

I'm the luckiest man alive.

Aaah!

Whoo-hoo!

Yowww!

Whoo!

- This will just about pay for

All the damages to the house.

- How do you like that?

I inherit a fabulous diamond

And wind up with nothing.

Now, that's bad luck.

[ Odie whimpers ]

Not only that,

The mail is late.

I can't stand that.

There's no excuse for the mail

Being late.

I wonder what's keeping him.

[ Music ]

- Now I gotcha, worm!

[ Worm laughing ]

- Uh, booker?

- Let's just say

I'm a disgrace

To the name of chicken, okay?

[ Music ]

- Boy, there sure is a lot of

Trash around the yard, man.

- No, there isn't.

- Are you disagreeing

With me again?

- Absolutely not.

- Then you're agreeing with me.

- Absolutely not.

- You disagree with me

All the time.

- I do not!

- You just disagreed with me!

- I did not!

- Did too!

- Did not!

- Can't you two ever agree

On anything?

- No, we can't!

- Boy, there's a lot of trash

Around.

- That's what I said.

- No, you didn't!

- One of you is right.

There is a lot of trash around.

Now, let's organize

A clean-up crew.

- We sometimes agree.

- Name one time.

- Okay. So, like,

We never agree.

- Oh, that's what you say.

- So I think we all ought

To clean up the farm.

- All in favor, say aye.

- Aye!

- Nay. I think it's

A good idea,

But habits are hard to break.

- Okay. Let's get rid of

Everything filthy on the farm.

[ Humming ]

[ Laughing ]

- Yah-hoo!

[ Humming ]

- I'm checking the viscosity.

You see, correct
water-to-mud ratio

Is very important in a waller.

- Wow, that was a lot

Of work, man.

- No, it wasn't.

- Thanks for a great job,

Everybody.

Now I'm going to relax.

After a hard day's work,

There's just one place

I want to be.

Ahh.

- Everything on the farm

Looks great.

- Almost everything.

- All in favor

Of ridding this farm

Of an unsightly mud hole,

Say aye.

- Aye!

- Nay! But just because

He said aye.

- Aye, of course.

Where is this unsightly

Mud hole?

- Oh, you can't mean

My waller.

No, this isn't an unsightly

Mud hole.

Well, it is, but this is

My unsightly mud hole.

- You can't dig out my waller!

- But, orson, you did say get

Rid of everything filthy here.

- And what is filthier than

A mud hole?

- But I cleaned it up.

- Oh, yeah, you cleaned it up.

But it's still a mud hole.

- I need a place to stay cool.

Pigs don't sweat, you know.

- Ha! Tell that to my nose.

- It's--it's stylish.

I filled it with all new

Designer mud.

- Mud is mud, orson.

- Yeah, why is a mud hole

So important to you?

- Guys, this isn't just mud.

- Wow, like,

I can't do it, man.

- Yeah, I agree with bo.

- You do?

- Yeah.

- We all agree. Don't we?

- Aye!

- Okay.

[ All cheering ]

- Okay!

[ Music ]

[ Barks ]

- Meow.

[ Barks ]

- Meow.

[ Barks ]

- Meow!

Pbltltlt!

[ Barks ]

- You win.

[ Music ]

- This is arbuckle's place.

Think you can get him

To buy a policy?

- Oh, you should have seen

This guy when I met
him in the park.

He is nuts about me.

He's gonna buy so much

Insurance, you and I will be

Able to retire.

Pick me up in an hour.

- Will do. Hey, try not to

Break his heart too much.

- ™ª she'll be here ♪

™ª any minute ♪

™ª the most beautiful girl ♪

™ª in the world ♪

- I'm bored, I'm bored.

I'm so bored.

Boy, am I bored.

Bored, bored, bored.

- I wish that roofer I called

Would get here.

Garfield, I'm expecting

Company.

Please don't annoy her

Too much.

[ Doorbell ]

- She's here! She's here!

- I am incredibly bored, odie.

I'm more bored than I thought.

That sounds like fun.

- Diana, I'm so happy

To see you, come in.

- Why, thank you, jon.

- Diana, when I look at you,

I am struck by the pangs

Of romance.

- That's not the pangs

Of romance, jon.

That's a baseball.

[ Barking ]

- Eww.

- Excuse me just one second,

Diana.

- Where's the ball, odie?

Stupid creatures love

To fetch a ball.

- Ahem. You're annoying us,

Garfield.

- Like I said.

Me? Annoy someone?

Jon arbuckle surely jests.

Gee, it's dark in here.

Like being inside a deep,

Dank cavern miles under

The surface of the earth.

This cave leads to the mad

Scientist's castle, odie.

- Huh?

- And look what you found.

Do you know what this is, odie?

- Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

- No, it's not a ball.

It's the klopman diamond.

A priceless gem as well as

A pointless running gag

On a popular saturday morning

Cartoon series.

But we must beware--

The dreaded three-headed

Klopmansaurus lurks

In these caverns

To guard the diamond.

[ Roaring ]

[ Odie whimpering ]

- But it won't find us.

We're safe.

[ Roaring ]

A dragon, odie!

A three-headed,

Fire-breathing dragon.

Fear not, I will put

The fire out.

- Please forgive the leaks.

I'm waiting for my roofer.

Uh, can I get you some

Hot cocoa, diana?

- No, I hate hot cocoa.

- Well, that's my favorite

Cold-weather drink.

- Just bring me some water.

- Water coming up.

- You have a nice home, jon.

Do you have enough

Insurance?

- Take that,

Fire-breathing dragon!

- Ohh!

- Here I come--

Garfield!

- Oh, look what your cat

Has done!

- The water has transformed

The dragon back into

A princess.

- Garfield, that was a rotten

Thing to do!

- Some gratitude.

See if I save him from

Another dragon.

[ Thunder ]

- We found the mad

Scientist's castle, odie.

We have to stop him from

Bringing the monster to life.

- Huh?

- Just put it in the dryer

For a few minutes.

- I'm--i'm really sorry

About this, diana.

- You know, jon,

With that cat, you really

Need insurance.

- Be careful.

He'll probably want to put

Your brain into the monster.

- Ruhh?

- Yeah, he'll want one

That's never been used.

Quick, odie, hide!

That's the mad scientist's

Assistant, igor.

Mad scientists' assistants are

Always named igor.

It's, like, a law.

The monster must be in here.

There's the monster.

It's--it's the bride

Of arbuckle.

The monster is rising

From the lab table.

Odie, quick!

We have to stop it!

- Aah!

- Take that, you monster!

And that!

- Diana, what's wrong?

- Help me! Help!

- The monster's fleeing, odie.

- Garfield, you've done it

This time!

You--you--

Insurance application?

Diana, why did you bring this?

- Uh, well--

- You just want to sell me

Insurance?

- The nerve of you,

Trying to take advantage

Of jon's good nature.

That's my job.

- I don't care if I don't

Sell you a policy.

I'm getting out of here!

- How do you like that?

She didn't really like me.

That's my luck.

I'm never going to meet a lady

Who likes me for myself.

- Excuse me,

Are you jon arbuckle?

I'm the roofer.

- Come in.

- Sorry I'm late, but I've

Got a lot of leaks to patch.

Say, are you the jon arbuckle

Who draws those cartoons?

- Uh, yes.

You've seen my cartoons?

- Oh sure, they're real funny.

You must have a great sense of

Humor to come up with those.

- Well, i--i try.

Can I offer you something?

- Sure.

Do you have any hot cocoa?

I love hot cocoa.

- Well, I think we have some.

- Come on, odie.

I don't think the roof's gonna

Get fixed for a while.

So, as the waters rise,

The intrepid cat

And the barely adequate dog

Sail off.

Oh wait, I forgot the main

Necessity of life.

- There.

Now, the monster vanquished,

Our heroes sail

Slowly into the sunset.
