- We've got to stop that
Chicken from writing on my logo
Every week.
- Since it's the chinese
New year, I thought it'd be fun
To eat authentic chinese food,
Garfield. Garfield?
- I think they're getting
A little carried away
With the confetti.
- This kind of cooking
Goes back more than 8,000 years.
- Uh-oh. Couldn't we go where
The food is, like, fresh?
- According to the chinese
Calendar, I was born
In the year 7738.
- Really? I swear you don't
Look a day over 7,722.
- Would that be a table
For one, sir?
- No, table for two.
Food for 10, but table for two.
- Oh, you have a--
Aah!
- Gee, usually they don't
React that way until after
They see me eat.
- I guess I'll find us a table.
- Okay, but don't expect a tip.
- You can have one from column
"A" and one from column "b."
- I'll have all from column
"A" and all from column "b"
And...
"C" looks like a tasty column.
- Are you ready to order?
- I'll have the chow mein and
My cat will have
Everything else.
- Please, sir, you must not
Allow your cat to eat so much.
- What's going on around here?
- It is because of the
Orange and black
striped cat, sir.
Please, you come with me.
I will explain.
- You should have told me that
Dinner came with a guided tour.
- This screen tells a legend
Of the dragon and the cat.
- Handsome looking fella,
I must say.
- Many, many years ago, there
Was small village in china.
The farmers worked very hard
To grow their crops,
But everyone in the village
Was starving.
- I'm starving.
I haven't eaten since 1783
And it's already half past 1785.
- Because they had to give all
Their food to the fierce dragon
Who lived on top of mountain.
- [ Laughs ]
Mmm. I see we have good crop
Of snow peas this year.
Bring me more food.
More food!
- There was a man in the
Village who had an orange cat
With black stripes.
Soon it was his turn
To feed the dragon.
- This lasagna
Is for the dragon.
- No, not the lasagna.
Can't we throw him a few
Villagers or something?
- Be sure to give it to the
Dragon or he'll eat us,
O, mystifyingly obese one.
- So the brave cat set off
For the dragon's cave,
But he was very hungry.
- I'll just take one bite.
The dragon will never know.
- When it was his turn
To feed the dragon,
Something was missing: food.
- Please accept this dish of,
Uh, invisible food as a token
Of my master's respect.
- Hmm. Awfully small
Portion there.
- Oh, it's part of a low
Cholesterol diet type thing.
- Nice try, o, inexplicably
Stuffed and overfed one.
But if you don't give me
Some food, I'll eat you
And everybody else
In the village!
- Desperate to get out of the
Situation alive, the courageous
Cat devised a clever plan.
- Oh, you're just jealous
Because I can eat more than you.
- You think I fall off turnip
Truck yesterday?
Why, you less than half my size.
- Put your appetite
Where your mouth is.
I challenge you
To an eating contest.
- [ Laughs ]
I can eat rings around you.
- [ Hiccup ] excuse me.
I can't eat another bite.
- Aha! Your wager was you
Could eat more than i.
Now it is my turn.
My food is gone!
You ate everything!
- I guess that means I win.
- You tricked me!
- The dragon chased the cat
Far off into the hills.
Without the dragon around,
The people of the village
Had all the food they could eat
And were very happy.
As for the dragon and the cat,
They were never seen again.
But the legend was if an
Orange cat with black stripes
Eats all the food, the dragon
Will return and get his revenge.
And that is why a cat like
Yours must never eat too much.
- Well, that won't stop you,
Will it, garfield?
Garfield?
[ Yelling and fighting ]
- Something has happened
In the kitchen.
Oh, no!
- Garfield!
- I couldn't wait.
That was a long fable.
- Please, you take him
From here at once
Before the dragon comes!
- There are no dragons.
- Please!
- All right.
- Wait. I didn't get
My almond cookie.
- How could they believe
A silly folktale like that,
Garfield?
- Didn't get
My fortune cookie, either.
- Imagine, dragons.
What a ridic--
- The dragon found me!
Run for my life!
- Garfield, it's just a paper
Dragon costume for celebrating
The chinese new year.
- Oh, I knew that.
- Besides, even if that legend
Did happen, it was thousands
Of years ago.
- Hey, I waited a couple
Thousand years,
I can wait a little longer.
- [ Laughs ]
[ Clears throat ]
Oh, orson?
- Yes? Gee, no one here.
- Wrong side.
I'll get him this time.
[ Clears throat ]
Oh, orson?
- Oh, howdy, fun seekers.
Okay, like, I'm not in this
Episode, so I asked them if
They'd let me play the narrator
And they said, yeah,
But just speed along
So can we have
Some flashback music
And fancy dissolve?
All right, muchas gracias.
Anyway, it started
A couple weeks ago.
I guess the best place to start
Is with orson waking up, like,
In the morning, okay?
Orson always likes to get up
At the crack of dawn, man,
Which is why he was steamed
To find out it was 10:15.
- Roy was supposed to wake
Everyone up at 6:00!
- When you got a farm, there's
A whole heap of chores to do
And you've gotta get
An early start.
Well, roy--
- When do I come in, bo?
- Like, you're not in the
Story this week, egg-o, sorry.
- Huh. Well, I talked.
You gotta pay me.
- I know. Okay, like,
Now where was i, man?
Oh, yeah, it was roy's job
To wake everyone up,
Except he'd taken to wearing
His headphones to bed, man.
Wow, it was, like,
Rock-a-bye rooster.
[ Rock music blares ]
- Why the rude awakening, pig?
- Why the no awakening,
Rooster?
It's your job to wake
Everyone up in the morning.
- Like, roy promised to do
A better job of it from now on.
Before he knew it, man,
He was into a song.

[ Laughs ]
[ Plays bugle ]
- That was a pretty good
Song, man.
I'd give it an 85.
Nice beat, easy to dance to.
Anyway,
Up in the nearby hills...
- All set for my scene, bo?
Hey, am I gonna do my famous
Worm trap bit?
- Sorry, chicky-roo.
You're not in this episode.
- Aw!
- Anyway, man, up in
The nearby hills--
Sorry, not this week.
- [ Muttering ]
- Up in the nearby hills, there
Was a cave and in this cave
There was a bear with a bruin
Sized case of insomnia.
And if there was anything
This bear didn't like,
It was, like, bugle music.
[ Growls ]
- Now, roy's music has never
Been big with folks.
The leading music critic once
Compared him to the sound
Of a moose gargling,
Rather unfavorably, I thought.
[ Growls ]
- [ Plays fanfare ]
Charge!
[ Crash ]
- Like, that was the start of--
- So, into the breech go I
Sallying forth
And sallying fifth.
And where is the set
For our shakespearian episodey?
- That's next week, wade,
"Much ado about orson."
You're not in this episode, man.
- But I'm in costume.
- Sorry, wade.
- Oh, I am miffed.
Call my agent. Call the network.
Get me anyone on the phone.
- [ Sighs ]
Like I was saying, that was
The start of roy's problem.
Then came this pleasant
Reminder.
- Remember, if you miss one
More day of wakeup call,
You're fired.
- But i--but i--but i--
But i--but i--but i--
- Roy "but I'd" for about
An hour and a half.
So anyway, it was, like,
The next a.m.
When the sun came up
Over the hilltop.
Hey, man, cue the sun!
All right, better.
So at sun-up,
It was such a groovy morn,
Roy had forgotten
All about the bear, man.
[ Plays bugle ]
- Of course, it was still
Roy's duty to blow the wakeup
Call, so the next day,
He scoped out a way to protect
His little feathered body.
[ Plays bugle ]
[ Crash ]
- That's the second biggest
Electric can opener
I've ever seen.
- Now, the next day,
The rooster got an idea.
He figured maybe violin music
Would do it.
[ Bugle plays ]
[ Crash ]
- It's been that way
For a week now.
Like, no one's found
A solution for--
- Unto the sun must come
The moon, and what is the ocean
If it is not wet and water?
- Hey, wade, you're not in
This, man.
- I know, I know but
The costume's paid for
And I am gonna use it.
If the father is not the son,
Then how can the daughter
Be the niece?
- Hi, bo.
- Oh, hi, ors. How's our
Fine feathered friend?
- Please, orson, don't make me
Blow my bugle again.
I've suffered enough
For my music.
- Poor roy. I wish that bear
Would just go to sleep
For the winter.
- Hmm. Hey, like,
The sheep's got a brainstorm.
[ Whispers ]
- It might work!
- No one can deny, says the
World is the shape of a melon.
A melon? Perfect in shape
As it spins about the universe.
I, who dwell in the universe,
Know that the secret of all
Happiness lies not within
The lowly squirrel, but in
The beauty of a grilled cheese
Sandwich.
- It worked.
- What a great idea, bo.
- It's just that wade's speech
Would put anybody to, like...
- [ Yawns ]
- [ Snoring ]
- See you next time, folks.
Maybe I'll have a bigger role.
- On the skateboard of doom.
Can I but help to dance
The dance of a thousand...
- And now, nail down
The furniture, kiddos.
It's time for
screaming with binky
We're at the--shh-- golf course
Where the great golfer leo fudge
Is about to putt.
Leo's already won the $25,000
Funniest pants award.
If he makes this putt,
He wins $100,000.
- Hey, golf pro, don't miss!
This is a crummy golf course.
Where's the little windmill?
- We'll be back, I suppose.
- Hey, I want my pants back!
- No, thanks. I just wanna
Stand out here and eat
My ice cream num-num bar.
Shark! Shark!
- Boy, what you have to go
Through just for one ice cream
Num-num bar.
- Hey, cat, could I bury you
In the sand?
- Sorry, kid, the only thing
I like to be buried in
Is linguine.
- You want me to throw it
Again, boy?
- [ Barks ]
- Garfield's not getting the
Lunch I brought for all of us.
Guess I'm in luck, though.
I don't see him anywhere.
- Blecch.
How do gophers do this?
Now I need a distraction.
That'll do it.
- [ Whimpers ]
- Huh? Oh, odie.
I have to go meet someone.
Watch the basket. Make sure
Garfield doesn't get it.
- [ Woof ]
- Jon goes ga-ga
For a pretty face.
You wouldn't catch me
Doing that.
Maybe for lasagna,
But never for a woman...
- Hey, little kitty cat.
Can I please
Bury you in the sand?
Please? Huh? Can i? Please?
- Kid's got way too much
Free time on her hands.
Speaking french
Drives women mad.
Crepe suzettes?
Chocolate mousse?
French vanilla?
Hi, I'm garfield.
- Hello, garfield. I'm lola.
- Wanna go get something
To eat?
- Oh, I can't.
Bonzo wouldn't like it.
- Bonzo? Who's bonzo?
Bonzo.
- Listen to me, cat.
You stay away from my lola
Or I'm gonna make you sorry
You was ever born!
Come on, lola!
- That guy's strong as an ox!
He's probably almost as smart.
Maybe I'll watch jon in action.
Yeah. Then I'll know
What not to do.
- Hi. You live around here?
What's your sign? Que pasa?
- I think you've had
A little too much sun.
- Well, I've got a lot of
Women who wanna go out with me.
I'm thinking of having a raffle.
- Oh, the winner gets a turkey?
- Maybe we could go dancing?
[ Hums ]
[ Screaming ]
Well, arbuckle, you've made
A jerk of yourself again.
- Wait. You're kind of cute.
My name's tiffany.
- Oh, hi, tiffany.
I'm, uh, um, my name is, uh--
- Hey, if jon can get a girl,
Anyone can get a girl.
It just takes persistence.
Lola, here I come.
- My name is, uh...gee, I just
Got a letter this morning.
- A bouquet of seaweed for you.
- Why, that's lovely.
- Not really, but it was free.
I guess that big dumb oaf
Isn't around, huh?
And you're intelligent friend
Bonzo seems to have left, also.
- Aah!
- Boy, you'd think she'd never
Seen a cat before.
I'm not giving up.
I was wrong. I'm giving up.
- Okay, fine.
I'm gonna teach you a lesson
You are never gonna forget.
- Bonzo, leave that poor
Puny cat alone!
- Yeah, bonzo, leave that
Poor puny cat alone.
- You've been asking for it,
Fella.
- Hey, cat, could I please
Bury you in the sand?
Pretty please?
- Get in line. Somebody's
Already gonna bury me.
- What? You're afraid
To let a little girl
Bury you in the sand?
- You wouldn't mind it?
- Of course not.
- I can bury him in the sand?
Oh, boy! Oh, boy!
- Okay, now, cat,
Where were we?
- I think you were about to
Let me go with a severe
Reprimand.
- No, that's not it...
Oh, I'm gonna teach you
Not to come near my lola.
That's what it was.
Oh, I'm gonna--
- My name is, uh...
I think it starts with a "j."
- Well, I hope you'll share
The picnic lunch I brought.
[ Rumbling ]
[ Groans ]
- I'll be yours forever
Or until bonzo
Gets out from under the sand,
Whichever occurs first.
- Oh, garfield, do you mean
That nothing will ever
Separate us?
- Garfield, wanna join us
For lasagna?
- It's been nice knowing you.
- Hey, love comes and goes,
But lasagna is forever.
- No, actually my name is...
Gee, I know it as well
As I know my own name.
Uh, jim bob.
No, jerry. Uh, jack...
