- Hey, you, the kid
Who missed last week's show.
You better have a good excuse.
- Swiss cheese.
Know what these holes
Are good for?
I'll show you.
- Mmm.
- Swiss cheese is good
For making mouse balloons.
- Let's see, front section.
Not interested.
Editorials. Not interested.
Sports. Definitely
Not interested.
Employment opportunities.
So not interested,
You wouldn't believe it.
Ah, here.
Comics and food section.
- Garfield, I'm home.
- Nice of them to put my two
Favorite subjects together.
- Garfield, look at this place!
- Yeah?
- The living room
Looks like a dump.
- No, the kitchen
Looks like a dump.
The living room looks like
A vacant lot with garbage
All over it.
- Listen, I'm taking liz
To a movie this afternoon.
- Well, what are we going
To see?
- You are not going.
- See if I share my popcorn
With you.
- You are going to stay here
And clean up this house, and it
Had better be absolutely clean
By the time I get back or else.
- Jon sounds serious,
Serious enough
To make health food
For dinner for a week.
Hmm. Who can I get
To clean this place up?
Hello, odie.
- Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
- Odie, if you came to me
And you needed help,
What do you think I'd do?
Yeah, that's about what I'd do.
[ Doorbell rings ]
- Gee, who can I get to
Clean up the house for me?

- Well, I agree
With both of you.
- These guys agree
With everything. Watch this.
You guys really want
To clean my house for me.
- I agree with that.
- I agree with that, too.
- I didn't hear it,
But I just know I agree.

- Hey, this house
Is really clean.
I get some great ideas.
Well, time for my 2:47
In the afternoon snack.
Keep it up, lads.
This cake needs something.
Maybe some peanut butter.
Okay, who took my cake?
If you did it,
You're in a lot of trouble.
I'll just have to make myself
A peanut butter sandwich.
I need some milk.
Aah! I didn't see that.
The refrigerator wasn't empty.
I'll look again,
And all the food will be there.
Aah!
Billy, I'm going to ask this
Calmly and with quiet restraint.
Where did all the food go?
- I'm not billy buddy bear.
I'm bobby buddy bear.
Billy buddy bear is busy
Bleaching blue blouses
And black blazers
In the bathroom.
- And she sells seashells
By the seashore.
I want the food,
And I want it now!
- The food was messing up
Your nice clean place,
So we got rid of it.
- I agree with bobby buddy
Bear.
The refrigerator
Is so much cleaner now.
- And I agree with both
Of them, whatever they said.
- Enough! I'm going to get
My peanut butter.
Where's my peanut butter?
No, never mind.
I'll have a cookie.
- You're getting crumbs
All over.
- Hey! Give me that!
- These cookies
Are much too messy.
Have to get rid of them.
- Hey! Come back here
With those cookies!
- Here, you'll mess up
The place with these cookies.
- What a coincidence running
Into you downtown, odie.
I hope garfield has the house
Cleaned up by now.
- [ Woof ]
- You're fired!
Get out and stay out!
- Okay. Give us our pay
And we'll go.
- Pay?
- Why, I paid you guys already.
- You didn't pay us.
- No, we haven't been paid.
- I agree. No bucks yet.
- What? You're disagreeing
With me?
I thought you guys
Never disagree.
- No, we never disagree.
- Then you agree
I already paid you.
Imagine, cleaning a house
But getting rid
Of all the food in it.
- Garfield, is the house all--
[ Gasps ] clean?
- [ Gasps ] huh?
- But it was clean.
The buddy bears cleaned it,
But then billy buddy bear--
Or was it bobby buddy bear--
Took the cookie jar and--
Oh, what's the use?
- We'll find a new job, guys.
- Yes, we will.
- We sure will.
- Hi, guys.
Need a trainee buddy bear?
Jon said something
About not feeding me
Until century after next.
Maybe I can teach you
To be disagreeable.
I've had a lot of experience.
- Welcome aboard.
- I agree.
- Fine by me.

- Tonight's movie is "attack
Of the weirdo martian zombies."
- [ Squawking ]
- [ Squawking ]
- Oh, this is scary.
- Yeah, turn it off, orson.
- Oh, very well.
Guys, it was only a movie.
- Imagine, turning us off
In the middle of our big scene.
- I was just starting
To get into it.
- I didn't even get on.
- Ah, what a day, what a day,
What a day.
- We could run a race.
- No, it's too hot.
- We could get some ice
And make ice cream.
- Too cold.
- Then let's have lunch.
- It's, like, too early, man.
- Breakfast?
- Too late.
- We better think of something
To do, 'cause this episode
Is going nowhere fast.
- You guys ought to be
Ashamed of yourselves.
- And when am I not?
- That's not what I mean.
Lying around all day like this.
There are crops to be harvested.
- Lanolin, will you get me
A drink of water?
- Get you a drink of water?
- Uh-huh.
- That's the laziest request
In the world.
- Not so.
There are lazier requests.
- If you can name me one
Request that's lazier, rooster,
I'll give you a dollar.
- Just slip the dollar
In my pocket.
- I mean, like, chill down,
Sisaroo.
Don't be so disagreeable.
- I am not disagreeable.
- Yes, you are. You disagree
With me all the time.
- I have never disagreed
With you.
- Get comfy.
This could take a while.
- Yeah, you just disagreed
With me.
- I did not.
I have never once
Disagreed with you,
And every time you thought
I did, you were wrong.
- Uh, can someone, like,
Translate that into english
For me?
- Guys, I've got a terrific
Idea for something
We can all do.
- Oh, I hope this is better
Than his come-as-your-
Arithmetic-assignment party.
- Oh, that was fun.
I dressed up
As a long division problem.
- I just came across this book
Of plays by william shakespeare.
- William who?
- Shakes what?
- William shakespeare.
He's the greatest playwright
Who ever lived.
Shakespeare lived
In 16th century england,
And he wrote tragedies,
Romances, comedies.
- Doing a play sounds far out,
Man, but, like, are we minus
Something important,
Like a stage?
- Oh, all the world's a stage.
- That's deep, orson.
- You see, you just have
To use your imagination.
The barn could be our stage.
The doors could be our curtains.
- Hey, do you see what I see?
- I see what I'm seeing, but I
Can't be seeing what I see
I'm seeing, see?
- And we can imagine that
We all have fancy costumes.
- Hey, neat!
- Can I see something
In a light tweed jacket?
- Theater is all about using
Your imagination, so let's just
Use our imaginations.
Is something wrong, bo?
- I don't know, man.
I, like, never got the point
Of all this play acting stuff.
- Oh, it's real simple.
Art imitates life,
And then life imitates art.
A play can give you
A new look at the world
You live in.
- Oh, right. I could use
A new look at it.
The old look just shows me
My sister disagreeing
With me all the time.
- Hmm, we could do
"The taming of the shrew,"
But we'd need someone
To play the shrew.
- What's a shrew?
- It's this girl with a loud
Voice who shouts at everybody
All the time and throws things
When she gets mad.
- Gee, I wonder who we could
Imagine up to fill that role?
We'll pretend lanolin
Is our star.
- Is that the real lanolin
Or the imaginary lanolin?
- She's not yelling.
Must be the imaginary lanolin.
- Okay, everybody.
Let the play begin.
- To be or not to be.
That is the question.
Whether the answer be on
The crib sheet of our existence
Or in the palm of my hand
Wherein is writ the textbook.
- Psst, hey, wade.
You got the wrong play, man.
- 'Tis not for a duck to see.
Wrong play?
Oh, dear. This must be
Every actor's nightmare. Ooh.
- Was ever a father
Less grieved than i?
But h*, who comes here?
- A great desire had I to see
Fair pajua., Pleasant garden of
Great italy, that I left behind
My pizza with pepperoni
And olives.
- You left pizza?
I see you are a musician
And a scholar.
I am looking for a tutor
For my daughter lanolina.
Such a person
Who leaves a pepperoni pizza
With olives has many virtues.
Come then and meet her.
I present my daughter lanolina.
- Whoa!
- Fire he who build-eth
Those stairs!
They be defective, I say!
- My daughter, I present
Unto you lucentio.
He shall teach you.
- Friends, romians,
Countrymen, lend me your shears.
I come to bury
The gladiola bulbs,
Not to plant lettuce.
Oh, judgement, thou art lacking
If planting me one onion,
They brought out the rutabagas
By their tender pits.
- Hey, wrong play, my liege.
- Wrong play again?
- Right, wrong play again, man.
- Double nightmare.
- What brings you here,
Minstrel?
- I seek to teach you
A lesson, lanolina.
- What? You seek to teach me?
- Still your temper, lanolina.
I--lanolina, stop!
I beseech you.
Still your temper, m'lady,
Before our land suffers a severe
Pottery shortage because of you.
I like you as you are,
Lanolina, speak your mind,
But there is no need
To throw things.
- You like me?
- Our costumes are gone.
- We are but wool and feathers.
- That's the real lanolin.
- Lanolin's reality
Interrupted orson's fantasy.
- What are you guys doing?
- We were just imagining
A play.
- A play? What a waste of time
That is!
- Not if you learn something
From it, man.
- What do you want?
- I just wanted to say, sis,
Like, we all really like you.
- You like me?
Gee, I guess I should be nicer
To you guys from now on.
Okay. I will be.
- Alas, poor sheldon.
I knew him, horatio,
A fellow of infinite egghood
Of most excellent cholesterol.
Where be your jibes now,
Your gambles, your clean socks?
How honorable be this duck
Who cringes
From e'en his own shadow
And anything larger
Than a gnat?
- The following program
Is being made possible
From a grant from luigi's
Drive-through lasagna.
Welcome to the great debate.
Tonight's topic: why are cats
Better than dogs?
Here to address this topic,
Garfield cat.
- [ Clears throat ]
Why are cats better than dogs?
They just are, that's all.
Thank you.
All right, I'll elaborate.
Why cats are better than dogs.
To demonstrate,
I'll need a dog.
- Ta-da.
- Oh, this is too easy.
I'll start by pointing out
This critter's basic flaws.
- Huh?
- I don't even know where
To start.
I'll also need a cat
For this demonstration.
- Hi, garfield!
Yes, it's me, nermal,
The world's--
- The world's cutest kitty cat.
- Face facts, garfield.
I'm just the cutest thing
On four legs.
- Wrong, lasagna served
On a dining table is the cutest
Thing on four legs.
Nermal, this demonstration
Calls for the ultimate cat,
A cat who has grace and beauty,
Speed, agility, and above all,
A cunning feline intellect.
So I'll have to do it myself.
All right. Why cats are better
Than dogs.
Let us take our first example:
Asking for food.
- Ah, my pie is all done.
- Here's how a dog
Asks for food.
- [ Barks ]
[ Whines ]
- All right already.
You can have some pie.
- Effective but annoying.
Let me show you
How a cat does it.
- Ah, my pie is all done.
- See?
- Much more dignified,
And it doesn't get dog slobber
All over.
Let's compare more dog
And cat activities.
Here's how dogs exercise.
Here's how cats exercise.
Here's how dogs chase the ball.
Here's how cats chase the ball.
Here's how dogs
Go to the store.
Here's how cats
Go to the store.
Cats are extremely--
- Please, garfield?
I'll show you
How cute I can be.
™ª la la la la la ♪
- I hope none of you
Are watching this while eating.
- Garfield, no! Stop!
Garfield, I won't be cute
In here!
Garfield! You promised to stop
Doing this last season!
Garfield!
- Our next example is fetching
The paper. Observe.
- [ Humming ]
- Note the use of doggie mouth.
Highly unsanitary.
Look at this, teeth marks
On the sports section,
Paw prints on the want ads,
Then worst of all,
Doggie drool on the funnies.
By the way, doggie drool
On a comic strip
Is a felony in some countries,
Especially on a certain strip
Which shall remain nameless.
Here's how a cat handles
Fetching the morning paper.
[ Bell rings ] paper cat!
Okay. You owe me for two months,
Daily and sunday.
I accept cash, check,
Or blueberry waffles.
I can't show you all the ways
Cats are better than dogs, but--
[ Doorbell rings ]
Excuse me one moment.
Boy, try and educate people,
And you get interrupted
Over and over.
- We've been watching
Your show, and we don't like
What we hear.
- [ All talking ]
- If we hear any more insults
About dogs, you're in
A great deal of trouble.
- Who, me?
Libel man's best friend?
Ha! You jest.
- Whew!
- I would never say an unkind
Word about you fine canines.
- You best not.
- If I continue telling
The truth, those dogs will make
Kitty kibble out of me.
Due to circumstances
Beyond my control
And with big teeth,
I will be unable to con--
- Garfield, this is unfair.
I'm a cat
And a very cute one at that.
I demand
That you let me explain
How wonderful kitties are.
- Hey, this could work out
After all.
Nermal, I'm not only
Going to let you be on the show,
I'm going to let you host.
- Really, garfield?
- Come on, odie.
My work here is done.
- Huh?
- Dogs are uncute
And unwonderful,
And they bite and smell
And have fleas and--
- [ Growling ]
- And...and...
Want to see me play
With a ball of string?
- [ Growling ]
- [ Teeth chatter ]
- Actually, dogs
Aren't so bad.
They serve
Some useful functions.
- Help! Being chased
Is not cute!
- [ Growling ]
- There's one of them
Right there.
Come on.
I'll get a cheeseburger,
And you can watch me eat it.
