At home kids.

- Garfield, come back here!
- No! No!
I'm not going.
[ Crash ]
- Garfield, we are
Going camping.
- Only someone really dumb
Would enjoy a week in the woods.
[ Panting ]
- Ta-da!
- He never misses a cue.
- Now, get your things together
And remember, bring only
The absolute necessities.
- Absolute necessities, right.
Cd player, refrigerator/freezer
Combo, microwave, vcr,
Laser disc.
- Well, do you have everything?
- Just about.
Know where I can find
- I said only
The absolute necessities.
Do you know what that means?
- You're right. I might need
The trash compactor.
- Why?
Why do I take him anywhere?
Why?
- And don't forget, folks,
The doodah brothers circus
Is now in town.
- Let's go to the circus.
Anything is better than camping.
- Now featuring binky the clown
And his tap-dancing bear.
- You're right,
let's go camping.
- The campsite is just
A few miles from here.
Well, it took a while,
But I finally got my tent up.
How are you doing, garfield?
- Ahem.
- Little gem instant
Inflatable cabin.
Don't leave home without a home.
This is roughing it?
- You know, odie,
Camping out isn't so bad.
You get to see nature up close.
There's a squirrel,
And there's a rabbit,
And there's a duck.
- Huh? Ah!
- Cameo guest star.
Well, we've been here
- After dinner, maybe
I'll sing you guys a song.
Want a hotdog, garfield?
- Cook at 350 degrees
For 35 minutes.
They should have special
Campfire instructions on
Tv dinners.
Maybe you can
Eat these like this.
No one will ever get rich off
The mashed potato ice cream bar.
- Here you go, odie, eat up.
[ Growling ]
- There there, boy.
It's the just wind or
Some squirrels or something.
Nothing to be afraid of.
- Don't listen to him.
There's plenty to be afraid of.
Out in the woods here
They have pumas who love
To play camper buffet.
[ Whimpers ]
- Plus there are snakes
And wolves and monsters
And little girls in uniforms
Who make you buy cookies.
All sorts of scary things.
[ Whining ]
[ Sniffing ]
- Footprints.
Who do they belong to boy?
[ Growling ]
- Jon's last blind date?
- Uh-uh.
- Someone with fur
All over them?
- Uh-huh.
- Jon's last blind date
In the winter?
[ Barks ]
- Oh, bear.
Those are bear prints.
- Uh-huh.
- There's a bear
Lurking around, odie!
Let's go!
[ Sniffing ]
- Odie, you dog dumbo,
Don't go in there.
It might be full of pumas.
[ Barking ]
- Don't worry, odie,
I'm coming.
I don't know why, but I am.
Odie?
It looks like
The remains of binky.
The bear got binky!
That's terrible.
Well, sort of terrible.
But where's the bear?
[ Growling ]
[ Screaming ]
- Well, guys, I think
I'll sing you a nice,
After-dinner song.
- Help! Help!
- Hey, my singing
Isn't that bad.
[ Growling ]
[ Screams ]
- We're trapped like rats.
- Speak for yourself.
[ Growls ]
- This is it, we're done for.
Why does he have
A circus collar on?
- Because he's binky's
Dancing circus bear.
Play something!
- I should sing?
Okay. Thinking. Thinking.

- You know what the
sad part of this is?
This is the sixth time
Jon's taking me camping,
And this is still
The most fun I've ever had.
- The rooster is bored.
What to do. What to do.
What to do.
Let's see, I can read a book
And improve my mind,
I can do my chores,
Or I could play a rotten trick
On wade and make him run
Screaming around the barnyard.
What a tough decision.
[ Humming ]
- Hey, you'd have made
The same choice.
Admit it.
Wade, giant lobsters
From outer space
Are stalking us all
With drawn butter!
- Oh, I've been
Worried about that!
Help! Oh help!
Giant lobsters
From outer space!
Major crustacean alert!
[ Laughing ]
- This is the 14th time
I've done this to him today.
- Help! Mayday!
Assistance!
Jeopardy situation!
Panic! Severe panic!
Orson help!
Disaster!
Help.
- Hey, like, what's the crisis
Of the hour, wade-o?
- It's a 628.
- Excuse us a second, bo.
Living radioactive saltines
From saturn invading
Our tomato soup.
- No. No. No.
No. No. No. No. No.
That's 629.
- Excuse me.
Giant lobsters from outer space.
This isn't-- wade!
Wade, you worry about
The silliest things
In the world.
- I do not.
- Pimentos in olives
Are staring at you?
- It's possible.
- The entire nation of paraguay
Is talking about you
Behind your back?
- A valid concern.
- Staplers are spying on
Important paperwork so
They can take over the world?
- Can you prove they're not?
- Wade, enough already.
- I'm sorry, orson.
I'm afraid of everything.
I'm afraid of being a coward.
I'm scared of being afraid.
I worry that I worry too much.

- Wade, I'm going to find
Something in this world
That even you
Can't be afraid of.
- Hey, that--
That kind of scares me.
- So there's got
To be something
That won't frighten wade.
[ Clears throat ]
- Sounds of skepticism.
- Yeah.
That duck's just plain chicken.
Forgive the expression.
- You're forgiven.
- Well, let's scope it
Out, man.
- It's a challenge.
- We'll find something.
Come on.
- Yeah, let's go.
We'll find it.
- Take a look at
This flower, wade.
See, nothing scary about it.
- But there's a bee on it.
[ Screams ]
- Uh, let's find
Something else.
- Okay, wade.
Here's a rock.
Now, tell me
What's scary about a rock.
- Uh, let me examine it.
[ Shouts ]
Yeow!
- I'll keep looking.
- This bone ought to do it.
There's no way wade can--
- Ow, grimace,
Yeow, pain of pains.
- Hey, duck, tell me
What's to be afraid of
From this bone.
- A bone?
Well, gee, I guess there's
Nothing to be afraid of.
[ Barking ]
- Excuse me,
There are children watching.
Yeow! Oh, pain!
Plenty! Ah-hah!
- Okay.
He's afraid of bones now.
- Wade, I give up.
You're afraid of everything.
I'm surprised
You're not afraid of the air.
- Air? That's right!
Air contains pollution.
I better not breathe.
- There is nothing
In this world
That doesn't scare this duck.
- Like oh, contraire piggeroo.
I'll tell you what
Won't terrify old ducko here.
- Ow!
- A solitary feather.
- Gee, that feather came
From my very own personal me,
And I cannot see
Any reason to be afraid of it.
- You did it bo!
You found something wade
Isn't scared of.
- Oh, it was nothing, man.
I'm going to go finish
Moving the piano.
- I'll be right there
To help you.
- Gosh, I guess if
There's one thing in this world
Not to be afraid of,
There may be others.
My whole life has changed.
Farewell feather.
I go forth into the world now
A being of great courage.
[ Sneezes ]
- Hey!
- Yes. I have nothing
To be afraid of.
Feather.
I just know it was the feather.
- You're right, wade.
It was the feather!
- A rock wasn't safe,
Or a bone, or a flower,
Or a feather.
- That duck is
Never going to change.
- Maybe not, but at least
We've got some courage
On the farm.
- Right! We've got orson.
- He's the bravest one of all.
- Ahem. You mean
That brave piggo?
- Orson, what are
You doing in there?
What are you afraid of?
- 746.
- Giant flying submarine
Sandwiches divebombing us
With salami?
- No. No. That's a 647.
- Oh.
Attack wave legion
Of crazed pat sajak
Impersonators?
- No. That's a 467.
- Oh, oh, here.
Being used as couch
By extremely fat person.
[ Cars racing ]
- This show is boring.
Let's see what else is on.
The binky show, name that fish.
Rick deltoid's workout.
Musket troop.
Oh, here's a good one.
Where's the remote control?
For the matter, where's the tv?
- Now, this is
Much more comfortable.
- Well, perhaps
You'd like us to move
The kitchen closer so you won't
Have to walk all
The way in there.
- You think that's possible?
- Garfield, for the last time--
- And now the talkingest
Talk show host in town,
Joe palaver.
- Cats, what are they good for?
Apparently, nothing.
We tried to find someone
To come on our show
And defend cats,
But we couldn't.
- Gee, I wonder
Who they could get
To speak out on behalf of cats?
Now, wait a minute.
Hold on.
Joe palaver is the rudest,
Nastiest talk show host
In the world.
I am not going on his show.
Do you understand me?
- I understand perfectly.
- Our next guest is cat lover,
Jon arbuckle.
[ Shouting ]
- Go, jon. You tell them.
- Does your cat do
Any tricks, arbuckle?
- Well, no.
- Does your cat do any chores?
- Well, no.
- Does your cat,
In fact, do anything?
- Uh, not really.
- Jon didn't tell me
He was going to tell the truth!
- Then of what good
Is this cat of yours?
Answer me that!
You can't answer me.
- I've got to help jon.
- Is your cat even cute?
- Well, uh --
[ Laughter ]
- No.
- There it is, folks.
Proof positive that cats
Are absolutely worthless.
Now, what do we do with him?
[ Crowd booing ]
- Dump him! Dump him!
- Whoa!
Garfield, I know how you
Feel about this man,
And I've decided
What I have to do.
- I knew I could count on you.
- I'm going to go home
And forget about it.
- I knew that was what
I could count on you to do.
There's got to be a way
To get this clown
To change his mind
About cats.
- Sit down and we'll touch up
Your makeup, mr. Palaver.
- Be careful with that mirror.
You break a mirror,
It's seven years' bad luck.
I have to do another
Show this afternoon.
- He's superstitious.
Hmm. Okay.
I think we know how
To handle this.
Garfield, master of disguise.
- I'll be back before
The next show,
I just want to go
get some lunch, and--
- A black cat has
crossed my path.
That's bad luck.
I need something to undo it.
- You know when you get panicked
And don't pay attention,
Accidents can happen,
Like slipping on a wet floor.
- Yeow!
[ Chuckles ]
- My bad luck is starting.
I've got to get
My good luck charms.
Can't have bad luck.
I have to do a tv show.
Ah, here it is,
My lucky rabbit's foot.
- Aren't very lucky
For the rabbit, are they?
- The black cat.
He's after me because of
What I said on my show.
That's it.
But he won't get me.
I'll hide in the control room.
He won't find me in here.
- Smile, you're on
Catnip camera.
[ Shouts ]
- No, no!
Keep away from me!
- Yeah.
I know this kind of nasty,
But it's my job.
- And now, the talkingest
Talker in town, joe palaver.
- Keep that cat away from me.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Everything i-- everything bad
I said about cats,
I take it back.
Cats are fine.
Cats are nice.
I will never say another
Bad thing abut a cat again.
- I don't know how he does it,
But he always does it.
- Audience, do you
Understand what I'm saying?
Are you with me?
[ Booing ]
- Dump him! Dump him!
- No!
No! No! I said I was sorry!
Help! The cat! Help!
- I didn't want to do it
To him, but there are some
Things a cat's just gotta do.
I better get this paint off
In case someone else believes
That nonsense about black cats
Being bad luck.
I don't want folks
Being afraid of me.
- Ah, a black cat!
Bad luck!
- Of course, there are
Advantages to it, I suppose.
