[theme song]

Hey! What's with the vacuuming

on a Saturday morning?


Some folks are trying to sleep

around here.

And of course, by "some folks",
I mean me.
And him.
Sorry if I woke you up,

but I need to get

the guest room ready.

[doorbell]
Oh, that must be them!
"Them"? A "them" is coming?

Odie! Do you know

who "them" could be?

[worried whine]

[sad]

Hello, Uncle Jon!

My worst fear has come true.
"Them" is them!

I was hoping it wouldn't

come to this, Odie,


but I'm afraid

we don't have much choice.


This is our one-way trip

to South America.


Pre-stamped,

pre-labeled and ready to go.


We'll start a new life there,

Snoopy.

Here's your passport.
Somebody let me out!
My bad!

I forgot to mail Nermal

last week.

Nermal, "them" is here!
What?
Them? Jon's nieces?
Them them?
[scream]

Wait! Take me! Take me!

Send me to Abu Dhabi!

Anywhere they don't have twins!
Coward.

Garfield and Odie are upstairs

if you want to go look for them.

That's all right, Uncle Jon.

We don't really feel

like playing right now.

Want to watch TV?

Oh, I know!

Games! You two love games!

How about if we play some games?

While I get the house ready

for your visit

you two go to the playground

and eat those lunches

I packed for you


That's odd. They didn't run

around screaming:


"Where's the kitty cat,

where's the kitty cat?",

like they usually do.
Something's wrong.

Come on. Let's see

if we can find out what it is.

Well, well,
if it isn't the twin losers.
Hand it over.
Disgusting!

How many times

do I have to tell you:

I hate mustard!
We won't do it again, Greta,
we promise.

Good. Now,

I want to go the playground.

Carry me.

No wonder the twins

are feeling down.

They're being bullied!

There's nothing I hate more

in this world than bullying.


Okay, except

for anchovies on pizza.


There's nothing in the world

I hate more than bullying.

Let's follow them.
Stop!
Hello!
Sorry... new city ordinance.

No cats or dogs allowed

on the playground.


Scram or I'll have you

thrown in the pound.


We need to get

into that playground


if we're going to help

Minerva and Drusilla

Come on. This way!
First, we need a sandwich...
with plenty of mustard.
I figure Minerva and Drusilla

brought tons of clothes

to dress us up in.

Yep!
Come on, Odie.

You and I are going to play

dress-up ourselves.

Here... put those shoes on.

It doesn't matter

if they aren't your size.


I need one more

fashion accessory.

Squeak!
Stay hidden, okay?
No one can see you!
Well, how do I look?
You look awesome, Garfield!
Thanks.
Faster, faster!
Push me faster, you twin losers!
Hey, is that a friend of yours?

She must be

on account of she's so weird.

Drusilla,
is that who I think it is?
It's Garfield.
Well... Who is that?
Greta, this is...
our...
Our cousin Petunia!

She looks kind of weird

if you ask me.

That's cause Petunia is...
From France!
That's right, she's from France.
Did she bring anything to eat?
I'll eat it later.

Now, I wanna go bounce

in the bouncy castle.

Someone else is playing in it...
Hey! I was bouncing in there!
Not when I want to.
Get back in there.
[laugh]
She always does that to me!
I do not like bullies!
Help! Help! Stop this!
[laughter]
[groan]
Were you laughing at me?
[roaring]
[scream]

Thanks for trying to help,

but it's no use.

Greta's really mean.

And she's not afraid

of anything.

I'm going on the slide.
Give me that!
And next time, get raspberry.
She took my lollipop!

She gets away with this

because she's tough.

And no one scares her.
No one scares her, eh?
Squeak, you still up there?
Want to get us out of your hair?
Here's what I want you to do.
Mice!
Get them of me!
Get them of me!
Get them of me!
[laughter]
Laughing at me?
No one's allowed to laugh at me.
We are.

We're not afraid of you anymore,

Greta.

Yeah. You're afraid of mice!
Like all bullies...
You're all just hot air!
[laughter]
Gee, I feel sorry for Greta.

-Really?

-Just a little.

Let's see where she's going.

They'll be sorry.

They'll all be sorry.

Hey! There's Greta!
Hey! You bring us something?
Yeah, we're hungry.

And it's not like you need

more food.

Hey! Those are my sandwiches!
Not anymore!
Mustard!
We hate mustard!

Didn't we warn you

about mustard?

I'll try to do better next time.
Hey! Let's take her bag!
The bully is being bullied!
[laughter]
That's mine!
Give it back! Give it back!
We have to help her.
I think I know what to do.
We'll need that blanket.
We may not have to do anything.

It looks like the twins

have an idea.

This is not nice!

How would you like

it if someone did this to you?

Leave her alone!
Give her back her bag.

And don't be mean to her,

or anybody!


And just how are the three

of you going to stop us?

We're witches.

We learned it from a nice lady

named Mrs. Cauldron.


We have magic powers.

Watch!


We'll turn our friend here

into a cat.

No, a dog.
How about a cat and dog? Watch!
Abracadabra,
presto-changeo!
You leave our friend Greta alone

or we'll turn you all

into snails.

Yeah!
And we'll step on you too.
[shouts of panic]
Thanks.

And thanks for saying

I was your friend.

No one ever has.

Do you want to come over later

and play?


Our Uncle Jon could make you

a sandwich...

without mustard.
[laughter]

Hey, Greta isn't such

a bad kid after all.


Most bullies bully because

they don't know how to be liked.


Once they learn that, they don't

have to be bullies anymore.

Uh-oh. Look who's back.
Hi, Garfield.

Okay, what rotten thing

are you going to do to me now?

Nothing.

We just encountered

some bullies, Nermal,


and they reminded me

of someone I don't like


-Who?

-Me at times.


So I'm not going to throw you

out or mail you overseas

or anything like that.
Really, Garfield?

You're actually going

to be nice to me?

Yes.
At least for a little while.

There he is, last cage

on the left, Mr. Arbuckle.

Thanks.

Before you called,

I was starting to get worried.

Oh, hi!

You're probably wondering

how I ended up here, aren't you?

I'll tell you the whole story.
But do me a favor, will you?

Grab your remote

and press "rewind" for me.

I'm a little tied-up right now!

[Garfield]

Okay, whoa! Stop!


Right there!


That's about twelve hours ago.


It all started this morning

at exactly : a.m.


I was doing what any sane

creature is doing at that hour.


But suddenly, "it" happened.

[barking]

I can see this is going to be

one of those days.


And sure enough,

it was one of those days...


Just when I was about to glue

the mailman to the mailbox.

[barking]
I knew I had to do something

about the mutt

and his constant barking.

Let's see.
"Dog", "barking", "stop".

Introducing Bad-Doggy:


the talkative,

state-of-the-art dog collar.


The best, humane way to teach

your best friend

that barking isn't okay.
[barking]

Bad doggy. Bad doggy.


No barking allowed.

Hey, hey!

Comes with three different

levels of reinforcement training

and a lock-in safety mechanism.

One size fits all.

Void where prohibited.

Dog not included.
Click to order

with our special

ultra-super-speedy shipping option.

I'm clicking, I'm clicking!
I wonder how fast

their special ultra-super-speedy

shipping option is.


I wonder

what took them so long...


This is the answer

to the barking problem!

Collar in place.
Now, what do I do next?
Let's see here.
"Turn on."

That is way too technical

for me.

Okay, let's see if it works.
You may bark when ready, Odie!
[barking]
Stop!
State-of-the-art dog collar, huh?
This thing doesn't even work.
Let's see what's wrong here...
Oh, wait.

"Press button A to turn on

the lock-in safety mechanism."

Here we go.
[barking]

Bad doggy.


Bad doggy. No barking allowed.

It works!
Oh, great, oh, great!
Now, let me remove this and...
Come on, come on.

There's gotta be some info

in the instruction manual

about how to remove that thing

Nothing?

You've gotta be kidding me!

[barking]

Bad doggy, bad doggy.


No barking allowed.

No!
Not to worry.

Jon will find a way to remove it

when he comes home in...

Six hours!

[Garfield]
I thought I'd just sleep

until Jon got home.


I was wrong.

[barking]

Bad doggy, bad doggy.


No barking allowed.


Bad doggy, bad doggy.


No barking allowed.


Bad doggy! Didn't you hear me?


No barking allowed!

All right, all right.
I've got to get this collar off me.
I need tools.

Congratulations.


You have successfully

activated level two


of the reinforcement

training software

Level two?
"Level two:

Additional apparatus

discourages the dog from barking."

"Additional apparatus"!
What could that be?

Bad Doggy! Bad Doggy!


And don't say

you didn't ask for this!


[gurgling]

I'm not barking.

[barking]

Who knows what this thing

will do next?


I have to make sure

that this collar


doesn't hear any more

dog barking.


Don't worry. It's just until

Jon gets this collar off me.


I'm going to watch some TV

and wait for Jon.

[oriental music]
I don't need to watch this.
I don't need to watch this.

All right!

It's time to exercise.

I'll never need to watch this.

I'm coming to you

from Northwestern Park,


the scene of today's

statewide dog show.

No! Take it off!

What a time for the batteries

on the remote control to wear out!


I may have to actually get out

of my chair

and go to the TV itself!

[TV]
Our congratulations

go out to Cayenne

from Lindenhurst, New Jersey.

The judges awarded her

top honors.

Any comments, Cayenne?
[barking]
No, Cayenne!

Bad doggy, bad doggy!


How many times

do I have to tell you?


No barking allowed!

Do you hear me?


No barking allowed!

I have to get out of here!
[angrily growling]

You know, I never did learn

how to tie good knots.

[barking]

You are a very bad doggy!


Very bad doggy! Very very bad doggy!

Hello, Mr. Kitty Cat!
[scream]

You were running to get away

from those mean old dogs,

weren't you?
Oh, you don't have to worry.
We don't have any dogs here.

My mother doesn't allow it.

She's allergic to dogs.

I'm safe!
That's why I only have toy dogs.
See how cute they bark?
[barking]
No! No! No!

Congratulations.


You have successfully activated

level three


of the reinforcement training

software...

Level three?
Oh, no!

What's going to happen to me

on level three?


[angry voice]

You... bad, bad, bad doggy!


Bad doggy!


Bad doggy!


Bad doggy!


[Garfield]

The collar flew me all over town


and then dropped me

right over Northwestern Park...


where fortunately,

there was a pond.

Well, at least I'm safe here.

They don't allow dogs

in Northwestern Park...


Except the one day a year

when they have the dog show here.

[barking]
[scream]

Terrible dog! No more barking!


Terrible dog! No more barking!

[scream]

So is it any wonder

I wound up in here?


Okay, so now let's get

that collar off you.

Yes, please!

Get this collar off me

before another dog barks!


Get it off me

and I'll do anything you ask.


I'll hold my daily lasagna

consumption down to below ten.


Now, let's see

how this comes off...

It's gonna take blow torches!

And chain saws!

And drill presses!


And all kinds of tools

and things you...


It just pops open

when you touch this button.

That's it? That's all it takes?

I don't know why you had

any trouble with it, Garfield.

It just pops on like this.

I don't care how it works.

I'm getting out of here.


And then it comes off

at the touch of a button like this.

Hey, not that door, cat!
That's the dog pound in there.
You just push this button.
You just push this button!
[barking]

[very angry voice]

I've told you for the last time!


No barking, you bad doggy!


No barking! Bad dog!

No barking!

Stop, dog! Leave me alone!
[scream]
