03x22 - Little Trouble in Big China

[bunniefuu]

-[Garfield snoring]
-[alarm rings]

[upbeat theme song playing]

-[Garfield] Hee!
-[remote clicks]

[Chinese music playing]

[Garfield yawning]

[Garfield] Someone had better have
my breakfast lasagna ready

if someone knows what's good for someone.

I've decided that this
is gonna be a great day.

[Nermal] Hiya, Garfield!

[screaming]

-[Nermal laughs]
-Well, so much for my great day.

[gasps]

Oh, Garfield, Nermal's going to spend
the entire summer with us.

-Won't that be fun?
-No.

-[screaming]
-[thud]

[Nermal laughing]

The whole summer?

Yep.

[groaning]

[panting]

I've been saving this idea for…
an emergency.

And if Nermal staying all summer
isn't an emergency…

I don't know what is!

[grunts]

Nermal. What are you doing in here eating…

oatmeal raisin cookies?
Why aren't you out winning the contest?

Contest? What contest?

The contest to find the most awesomely
adorable kitten in the world.

Well, hi! That's me.
Why wasn't I notified?

-Where is this contest?
-In the backyard!

Quick! You may still have time
to walk off with the first prize.

Woo-hoo! Thanks, Garfield.
I haven't won a trophy in over an hour.

[cackling]

[giggling]

[grunting]

Whoa!

[screaming]

[screaming]

-[chuckling]
-[Nermal screaming]

-[thud]
-Ow!

[straining]

Be happy, Nermal.
I'm sending you for Chinese food.

Real, authentic Chinese food.

Now, where's that sealing tape?

Hmm. Must've left it in the house.
Stay right where you are, Nermal.

[Nermal] Hey! This isn't funny, Garfield.

[yipping]

Sure, I'll throw the ball for you.

But first, your dog tag
keeps coming off your collar.

I'll put it back on for now,
but I'm going to have to fix that later.

[yipping]

Okay, here we go, boy.

[barking]

[barking continues]

[whining]

[screaming]

[groaning, teeth chattering]

Huh?

[screaming]

[thud]

[cheerful music playing]

[humming]

[grunts] Wow.

Put on a little extra weight,
are ya, Nermal?

And don't forget to send a postcard!

[laughing]

[Nermal]
Not, I repeat, funny. Is it, Odie?

Ah. Just in time for my afternoon nap.

Garfield, have you seen Odie?

[yawning] He's probably chasing his tail
or drinking out of the toilet.

Hmm. This is odd.
He seems to have disappeared.

I threw his ball a few minutes ago,
and he ran out the back door after it.

Oh well.

I'm sure he'll turn up.

Hmm.

[screaming]

Out the back door?

No wonder that box was so heavy.

[tires squealing]

Stop! There may be someone in that box
I don't want shipped to China!

[Garfield] Odie!

[panting]

Yes, Miss Bella.

I should be in Shanghai by noon.

Soon, the Golden Cat shall be yours!

[wheezing]

I should have no trouble finding that box
with Nermal and Odie in it.

[panting]

I will!

Odie? Nermal! Where are you?

[Odie whining]

Where is "here"?

Not in here.

Not in here.

Also not in here. But there are cookies.

-Mmm.
-[rattling]

This is not good a place for me to be!

Please power off all electronic devices
in preparation for takeoff.

No, no, no, no! I can't fly somewhere.

I don't have a seat belt.
I don't even have a magazine to read.

[engine revving]

Whoa!

[dramatic music playing]

[Jon] Garfield? Odie?

Anybody?

[grunts]

[sighs] Last one. Wouldn't you know it?

Huh?

I'm happy to see you too.
I'm not happy to see you.

You're in a lot of trouble, Garfield!

Hey, tell me something
I don't already know.

So, did you ship me to Abu Dhabi again?

No, Nermal. I gave that up.
Nope. We're on our way to China.

Oh. That's better. That's--

China!

[thud]

[intriguing music playing]

Garfield? Odie?

Anybody?

[Chinese music playing]

-Hey, guys! Wake up. We've landed.
-[Odie whining]

[whining]

-Where's Nermal?
-[barks]

[straining]

I know it's not Nermal.
But it's probably smarter than he is.

[snoring]

Nermal? Wake up!

[mumbling] What?

And people say I like to sleep.

Well, here we are, Odie. Welcome to China.

[Chinese music playing]

[Odie] Wow.

Hey!
Pets should not be loose in the airport.

-[alarm blaring]
-[screaming]

Come on, Odie!
We better grab Nermal and get out of here.

[Odie whining]

Hey, don't worry. I know this is it.

[whining]

Stop them, somebody! Stop the cat and dog!

[suspenseful music playing]

-Excuse me? That cat and dog?
-They got away from me.

I believe this came off the dog's collar.
It's a pet license.

[dance music playing]

Okay, Sleeping Beauty. Rise and… shine?

[whining]

-I must have grabbed the wrong box.
-[gasping]

Odie, this is a disaster.
We're , miles from home.

We don't have any food.
Jon doesn't know where we are.

We don't have any food.
Did I mention we don't have any food?

Then again, we have lost Nermal.

Maybe we can trade
this odd statue for some lasagna.

-[barks]
-I hope they have lasagna in this country.

Especially since we may be here
for the rest of our lives.

[Chinese music playing]

Ha! It is about time, Voldo!

Here it is, Miss Bella.
Freshly stolen from the National Museum.

The golden cat statue
better be in the box,

or everyone is going to pay dearly.

[meowing]

This doesn't look like a golden cat to me!

I, uh-- Well…

It doesn't even look like a real statue.

-Ouch!
-Where is my golden cat?

I don't have a clue.

But who needs a statue when you have
the genuine cutest kitten in the world?

[hissing]

There must have been
some kind of mix-up at the airport.

I am not happy, Voldo.
Do you know what I do when I am not happy?

I hope it doesn't involve singing.

-I sing!
-[meowing]

I was afraid that you'd say that.

[off-key singing]

Stop! Make it stop!
I'll tell you whatever you wanna know.

Just make it stop!

I am sure that cat knows something.

Siam, Tiam!
Come here to play with your new friend.

[hissing]

[screaming]

I have to go out for an hour.

Shouldn't you study,
instead of helping me in the restaurant?

I've already done my homework, Uncle Tang.

And I know you could do
with an extra hand.

I don't know what I'd do without you.

Well, take care
of any hungry mouths who come by.

[chuckling, slurping]

-Yummy, yummy!
-Please go away.

Uncle Tang does not want me
to feed stray animals.

[slurping]

Come on, guys.

You are going to get me in trouble
if my uncle sees you here.

Quick, pup. Sad eye routine number .

[both whining]

[munching]

[chuckles] You like Chinese noodles, huh?

Did you know pasta was invented in China?

Gee, I thought you guys
spent the whole day

eating rice and practicing Kung Fu.

[Kung Fu music playing]

[laughs] Is that supposed to be Kung Fu?

[action music playing]

Ahem.

Still hungry, huh?

I wish I could take you to this
all-you-can-eat dim sum place nearby.

Sounds like a plan.

But that is all I have. So sorry.

[barks]

Ta-da!

Wow. This looks expensive.

Do you want to sell it? Is that the idea?

There's an antique store two blocks away.

Maybe that man there
will give you a good price.

[whining]

I can't be concerned about Nermal
at a time like this.

There's all-you-can-eat dim sum
down the street.

[barks]

[Chinese music playing]

Garfield? Odie?

Did you ship me to Abu Dhabi again?

No, we're on our way to China.

Soon, the Golden Cat shall be yours.

Ta-da!

Oh! This doesn't look
like the Golden Cat to me.

Do you want to sell it? Is that the idea?

[Chinese music playing]

[man] I cannot believe my eye!

Where did you say you found it?

I know it sounds crazy,
but this cat and this dog gave it to me.

I know this nutty opera singer from Europe
who would pay well for this statue.

-How about I give you ,?
-[gasping]

Ten thousand?

That sounds like serious
dim sum money to me.

This statue is at least , years old.

Sorry, but it is not for sale.
Sorry we have wasted your time.

Wait! Come back! How about ,?

[man] Come back!

Thirty?

[beeping]

[Nermal laughing] Oh, please! Oh, please!

I… I don't know anything.

-[phone ringing]
-[hissing]

Hello?

Yes, it is I, Bella Bellisima.

I know who has your golden cat.
But the information will cost you.

You shall have your money. Speak!

Nope.
Haven't seen either Garfield or Odie.

They've been gone for hours.
That's meals. And Nermal's missing too.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

-Cats and a dog? You've seen them?
-[high-pitched voice]

Where exactly are you?

Shanghai? Where is that?
Oh right. China. I knew that.

Well, I'll come there and look
around for them. Thanks.

I shipped an overnight package
from here to China yesterday.

Well, that explains it, I guess.
I'd better get my car keys.

Hmm.

[Jon screaming] China!

[Chinese music playing]

Do you know how much dim sum
we could have bought with that cash?

Enough to feed me for a mont-- A week.

You know what my name,
Dingbang, means in China?

"Protect the country."

This statue is at least , years old.

It is national treasure
and belongs in a Chinese museum

where my people can enjoy it.

Not in the private collection
of some greedy foreign art collector.

Come on. You can spend the night
in my uncle's restaurant.

I am sure I can smuggle you
another bowl of noo--

[Voldo] Get in!

-Hey! Let go of me!
-[Odie barking]

You heard the pup!
Take your paws off him or else!

[hissing]

-And you're coming too!
-[screaming]

[Bella] Ah! The Golden Cat!

After yearning for it for so many years,
it is finally mine!

It belongs to the heritage of China.
You will not get away with this!

Hm. Don't be ridiculous.

I've been dealing in stolen art objects
and artifacts for years.

That is how I made my fortune.

But why do you have to have this one?

Because this one is the key
to the treasure of…

Ah! Voldo! What is that name
that I can never remember again?

Fucanglong. Here.
Let me remind you for the tenth time.

According to the ancient Chinese lore,

Fucanglong is the guardian
of hidden treasures.

The Golden Cat statue
can lead to the underground cave

where Fucanglong
keeps his most valuable treasure:

the biggest diamond of all times.

The treasure of Fucanglong
is just a legend.

My uncle used to tell it to me
as a bedtime story.

It is real. And when I get my hands on it,

I will, at last, be rich enough
to fulfill my greatest project.

Voldo, the slides.

Behold! The Bella Bellisima Concert Hall!

With a giant statue of myself
and , seats

so that millions of people can come
and listen to my unforgettable arias.

[clears throat]

[off-key singing]

They wouldn't let her sing
at the Metropolitan Opera.

I wouldn't let her sing in a horror movie.

Voldo, put them in the storage room
with our other "guest."

Siam and Tiam, keep an eye on them
while I decide what to do with them.

Man, my luck is running so bad,

the other guest will probably
turn out to be Nermal.

[grunting]

Garfield!

Told ya.

[barking]

Cat! Is that cute little kitten
a friend of yours?

[scoffing]

[both] Friend?

[hissing]

We need to stop that crazy woman
before she finds the Fucanglong treasure.

Treasure what? Who's that?

I'll explain later.
Right now, we need to figure out

how to get past
those two Siamese sentries. Hmm.

[Chinese music playing]

I have an idea.

Okay, guys. Huddle.

[whispering]

All right, Odie.

It starts with you distracting them.
Got it?

[dance music playing]

I've never cared for ballet.

Especially by dogs.

Count of three. One, two, three.

-[grunts]
-[meowing]

-[whistle sound]
-[thud]

You guys are amazing!

[Voldo] The legend says that the statue
will lead one to the treasure.

Yes. Have you found a map inside it?

[Voldo] There's nothing in the statue.
No map of any kind.

[grunts] Look again. It has to be there!

My statue! Give it back!

[grunts] The door is locked!

I want my statue!

-Catch!
-I got it!

[action music playing]

Nermal, make yourself useful!

Ha ha! Sorry, pal!

[thud]

Give me my statue!

Hurry!

No!

This way, guys. Follow me!

[barking]

Out the window?
But we're on the th floor!

I want my statue!

I guess we really don't have a choice!

I'm not jumping
out of any th story window! [screaming]

[Nermal] Uh-oh.

-[both screaming]
-[thud]

[Odie barks]

[Chinese music playing]

[Bella] Give me my statue!

[action music playing]

Over there!

[Dingbang] Hang on tight!

[action music continues]

Stop and give me back my statue!

[Nermal] They are after us!

Where is that weird smell coming from?

Why are you even looking at me?

[barking]

[Garfield] What is that? A dead hedgehog?

That is a durian.
In China, we call it the King of Fruits.

A lot of people think it smells funny,
but they are really good for your skin!

Really? What do they do for fur?

Good for your skin, huh?
I think Bella could do with a beauty mask!

[cackling]

You missed me!

The first one who hits
the terrible singer wins!

-[whistle sound]
-[grunts]

-Help!
-[meowing]

[Bella] I can't see!

-[tires screeching]
-[crashing]

Ha ha! We got her!

-[Odie barks]
-[Dingbang] Well done, guys.

What are you waiting for? Go after them!

[meowing]

What do you want?

Just sh**ting a video.
I'm gonna put it up on the Internet.

I'll bet ya millions of people see this.

I am the greatest opera star,
Bella Bellisima.

Listen to the magnificence of my voice!

[off-key singing]

[glass shattering]

I will come back in the morning.

We will decide what to do with the statue
and with the three of you.

Good dreams, my friends.

[suspenseful music playing]

[gasping]

Did you see that?

The moonlight reflected into the eyes
of the statue projects an image.

A tiger head! What does that mean?

[Dingbang] And there is some writing too.

"First half of the key
to the treasure of Fucanglong

is hidden in the ancient gardens of Sujo."

A treasure map?

Whoa. That's kind of exciting.

Sujo is only kilometers away.

First thing in the morning,
we need to go find that key.

[Dingbang] Get a good night's sleep.

All I know is
they're someplace in Shanghai.

Shanghai is the largest city in China.
It has over million people.

I know. How am I ever going
to find two cats and a dog in that--

[newsman]
Two cats and a dog

involved in a wild chase last night
through the streets of Shanghai.

-This video hit the Internet…
-That's them.

That's my two cats and a dog.

I am the greatest opera star,
Bella Bellisima.

Listen to the magnificence of my voice.

Those of you who are easily sickened
may not want to hear this next part.

[off-key singing]

[singing grows louder]

[screaming]

Bella Bellisima?

Maybe she knows
where I can Garfield, Odie, and Nermal.

[Chinese music playing]

[Dingbang] The gardens of Sujo were built
to celebrate the harmony

between art, nature, and ideas.

[Garfield] That's great.
Where's the key to this treasure of…

who, whatever it is?

Hey, don't these two cats look familiar?

They look just like our statue.

There is a gap here.

It looks like our statue
belongs between them.

[gasping]

[suspenseful music playing]

-Nothing is happening.
-Sure looks that way.

[slurping, barking]

Dog! You opened a secret compartment!

Hmm?

It says this is half of the medallion

that serves as the key
to the treasures of Fucanglong.

-[laughing]
-[barking]

The other half of the medallion
is guarded by

the old master
of the temple on Mt. Qingshan.

Mt. Qingshan, that is kind of far.

Miles and miles away far?

No, do not worry.
We are not going there on that tricycle.

We will use something a little faster.

[Chinese music playing]

-Thanks for the ride.
-You're welcome, cousin Dingbang.

[yowling]

[upbeat theme music playing]
