Why, thank you, garfield.
Mmm, delicious. What is it?
Dog food? Ooh, quick!
Give me something to drink!
Tabasco sauce! Quick!
Give me something to drink!
- Goldfish water!
Quick! Give me an antidote!
Dog food again!
Quick! Get me a drink!
- This could go on for days.
- More tabasco!
I'm burning up! Quick!
Get me something to drink!

- Eat and be lazy, kids,
And someday you'll have
Your own show, too.
- Here it is, garfield,
The polecat flats dude ranch.
- We coulda gone to rome,
Acapulco, maui.
Where does jon take us?
Why, the middle of nowhere.
- This is a real working
Ranch.
We'll get to experience
What it's like to live
A simple, clean life out here
Where men are men.
- Translation, jon is paying
Them major bucks for the
Privilege of being a ranch hand
So that he can meet women.
And incidentally,
What's a polecat?
- Well, howdy ma'am.
I was just wondering--
Oh!
[ Barking ]
- This is what happens
When you put a 10 gallon hat
On a five gallon head.
[ Crows ]
- Time to get up!
You can't do a decent day's
Work if you're gonna sleep
Till noon.
- It's still dark outside.
- Wild horses
Couldn't get me up.
- Get up, you good for nothing
Saddle bums.
Get your britches
Over to the cookhouse
For breakfast or we'll feed it
To the coyotes. Breakfast!
- Breakfast? Don't just lay
There, you good for nothing
Saddle bum!
You heard the man!
- I doubt they serve animals
In the cookhouse, garfield.
I'll bring you back
Some breakfast.
- No animals, indeed.
- Thank you kindly, ma'am.
- Garfield.
Uh, this is the ranch foreman,
Cactus jake.
Jake, this is...uh...
A friend of mine.
- Your friend don't say much,
Does he?
- Yes. He's the strong
Silent type.
He just does what he--
- I think I'll take a little
Stroll before lunch.
Danger. Keep out.
Untamable outlaw bronco.
This is the orneriest horse
In polecat flats.
What's a polecat?
- You can't get me.
Nah nah nah nah nah-nah.
No excitement here.
I think I'll go see
What jon's doing.
- This is a horse.
This is the front
And this is the back.
Don't get 'em confused.
- Well, I'll say, you're
A couple of mighty cute
Little fillies.
[ Both laugh ]
- Now, we've got some calves
To separate from this herd,
And I think we'll have
The best dressed dude
Show us how it's done.
- Wait! Wait! I didn't come
Here to polecat flats for this.
- What is a polecat?
Don't any of you know?
- Nice cows. Easy cows.
That's--that's a good cow.
This isn't so hard.
Get along there, little doggie.
Whoa! Stop!
Cease! Desist!
[ All laugh ]
- Mommy!
[ Splat ]
- Aw, you went and got your
Fancy duds all soiled.
What a shame.
- Easy there, duke.
- I am so tired.
Cactus jake said we have
To whitewash the corrals.
I need a little sleep.
[ Snoring ]
- Poor jon. Cactus jake is
Really giving him a bad time.
Guess you belong
Over at the corral.
It's my good deed for the year.
Maybe jake's horse would like
Some company for lunch.
Pasture for two, please.
[ Whinnies ]
- [ Sniffs ]
What's that strange smell?
This is the whitewash
For the corral.
Hmm, I think cactus jake
Deserves a taste
Of his own medicine.
- Now, there ain't nothing
Complicated about whitewashing
A corral.
There's paintbrushes here.
After you finish,
Muck out the dairy barn.
Whoa you ornery coyote!
What's the matter with you?
Hold it! Oh!
[ All laugh ]
- Hey, that ain't my horse.
Who went and painted him white
Like that?
- Garfield?
[ Sniffs ]
What's that smell?
Look out!
[ Screaming ]
- You know, maybe this wasn't
The brightest idea I ever had.
[ Sniffs ]
- I can explain everything.
- No. The joke's on me,
Ain't it?
Didn't think you had it
In you.
- Neither did i.
- Whew! I smell polecat.
- What is a polecat?
- Polecat's another word
For skunk, you know.
- Well, that answers
My question.
- We better be getting home,
Garfield, but first we
Have to make a slight change.
You know, garfield, I sure had
A good time on this vacation!
Anything you need back there?
- Could we stop somewhere
For a case or two
Of roll-on deodorant?
- It's morning.
Time to blast
The farm animals awake.
- [ Snoring ]
- My, don't they look peaceful?
[ Plays bugle ]
- Gosh I love this job.
- Morning, wade.
That sure was some wind storm
We had last night.
- I'll say. This whole shed
Almost blew down.
- I'm gonna go read
To the chicks.
I think they'll like
This book of ancient greek
And roman myths.
- How utterly edumacational.
- Well, I better not keep 'em
Waiting. See you later.
- Orson, do you think the shed
Is safe?
I guess that answers
My question.
- So hercules, the strongest
Man in the world, set off for
The swamp to battle
The dreaded hydra.
- What's a hydra?
- I think firemen hook their
Hoses to it to pump water.
- It's a giant snake monster
With nine heads.
- That's pretty hard
To believe, orson.
- I thought you said
These stories were true.
- No, I said they were myths.
A myth is a story
From ancient history.
Some parts might be true,
But mostly a myth was a way
Of explaining the unexplainable.
- Speaking of unexplainable.
- Hey, orson, you reading
Another one of your silly books?
- This book teaches heroism
And courage.
- Well, you're gonna need some.
I just saw your brothers
Coming up the road.
- Oh, no, not my brothers.
Again?
- It's too bad you're not
As strong as hercules.
- Yeah, then nobody
Could push you around.
- I wish I were like hercules.
Then my brothers wouldn't treat
Me like a runt.
Boy, that would be great.
[ Trumpets play fanfare ]
- Hooray for hogcules! Hooray!
[ Cheering ]

[ Cheering ]
- Chains cannot hold hogcules!
[ Trumpet plays ]
- Orson? Hey, orson! Orson!
- Huh? Where?
- Your brothers are here.
Where would you like
Your mail forwarded?
- I needn't run
From the likes of them.
I shall face them in combat.
- Too bad.
I always liked orson.
[ Laughing ]
- There's the runt!
- You guys leave quietly
And I won't have to use
My brute strength!
[ All laugh ]
- What's orson up to?
- Gort, wart, and mort
Will pulverize him.
- Run, orson!
- And keep out of the shed!
I haven't finished
Rebuilding it yet.
[ All laugh ]
- I'm warning you.
If I get mad, I'm just liable
To do something like this!
- I warned him it wasn't safe.
- Our brother did that?
- He has gotten stronger.
- Nice seeing you, orson,
But we gotta go now.
- So long, orson.
No hard feelings, okay?
- [ Laughs ] know what?
You don't need big muscles
If you have a big brain.
- Of course, there are times
When big muscles come in handy.
- You're both so quiet, guys.
Usually when we go someplace,
Odie is yapping
And hanging his tongue
Out the window and slurping,
And you're getting mad,
Garfield.
- We're going to visit
Jon's cousin al.
Almost as exciting
As watching paint dry.
- How did you guys learn
To behave?
- [ Gulp ]
- [ Mumbling ]
- Calm down.
It's only another 300 miles.
- Nice to see you again,
Cousin.
- Well, thanks
For inviting us, al.
- You remember my son roscoe.
Roscoe, say hello to cousin jon.
- A pleasure to see you again,
Sir.
- Isn't he polite? Roscoe's
Just the best behaved kid
In the world.
Roscoe, why don't you
Play with the kitty and doggie
While I show jon some slides
Of my vacation.
- Vacation slides?
Oh, gee, you don't--
- I just got in 16 rolls I shot
At the cheese dip festival
In dubuque.
- How exciting.
- Kitty, would you like
To see my lab?
- No.
- Good. Come with me.
I got an "a" in advanced
Thermo nuclear physics.
I can dissect proton particles.
- I know how to make toast.
- This is my lab. Like it?
- Depends. What's
The possibility of getting
A chocolate malted?
- I've been inventing since
I was five, when I built the
First solar-powered skateboard.
Here. I want to show you
My latest invention.
It's a completely transistorized
Full function cybernetic robot.
I'll program it
To pet kitty.
- There. There's your kitty.
Pet him. Quick! Slurp him.
Maybe he'll rust.
- Uh-uh.
[ Buzzing ]
- [ Laughs ]
Okay. Okay. That's enough.
- I'm gonna go find
Some conditioner.
[ Laughs ]
- I must do something about
These split ends.
Hey!
- [Laughs ]
- Help! Assistance!
Mayday! Medic!
Do you read me?
Help would be needed
About now!
Anybody?
- Okay. Now, here's marge
Waving.
Here's marge waving
With the other hand.
Here's more of marge waving.
- This is fascinating.
- Animals! Anything!
I did come to a complete stop,
Officer.
- The kitty tried to steal
My robot.
Bad kitty! Bad!
- You got a kid like this in
Your neighborhood and you hate
Him, too. Admit it.
- Garfield, how could you?
- It's all right, roscoe.
Daddy will buy you more parts
For your robot.
- [ Crying ] thank you, daddy.
- Now you go in and play
Nicely with roscoe.
No excuses. You're a guest.
- He won't let me get a
Word in edgewise.
Of course, if I could talk,
It would be easier.
[ Alarm ]
- Trying to steal my candy,
Kitty?
Oh, yes, you were.
But I'm not mad.
In fact, I'm gonna
Give you a nice ride.
Where would you like to go?
- Depends. Where are you not?
- Maybe you would like
To go to mars.
- My doctor told me
Not to travel,
Especially off this planet.
[ Growling and barking ]
- Good boy, odie. Get him!
- [ Laughs ]
Ready for countdown.
- And this would be marge
Waving to the north.
Now here's
A real change of pace.
Marge waving with both hands.
- This is exciting, al.
- If you think that's
Exciting, the next batch
Is marge waving in 3-d.
Put on these glasses.
- 3, 2, 1! Ignition!
- Here's a fireworks display
We saw.
- Hey, that looks realistic.
Garfield! That's it, garfield!
If you can't play nicely,
I'm taking you home!
- I'll give you everything
I own if you do.
- Now before we go, you go in
And apologize to roscoe
For wrecking his things.
I'm not leaving until you do.
- Is that you daddy?
That bad cat
Stole my rocket and--no! No!
I built you! Get away!
- I am really sorry
About the damages.
- Oh, it's okay.
Come back soon.
I have 53 more trays of slides.
- Yeah. Come on, boys.
I can't take you anywhere.
Roscoe is such a nice, polite
Young man and always learning.
In fact, he'll be learning
For a long time.
- Yep. If those are long-life
Batteries, he'll be learning
For about three days.
- Let me go!
I don't want to ballet dance!
Daddy! Daddy!
