Jon, there's something
important I need to ask you.
Something that I wouldn't ask
most guys who come in here.
Wait, no. I think I know
where this is going.
- You do?
- I do.
Liz, I've wanted to ask you
the same thing for a very long time.
- Are you sure that
we're talking about the same thing?
- Absolutely.
Yeah, uh, I've never been more sure
of anything in my entire life.
Liz, I am ready
to take a chance.
- I am ready for...
- [Yips]
[Laughs]
Thank you.
- A dog!
- [Laughs]
A dog.
I'm ready for a dog.
- [Laughs]
- Hi.
- Hey, I think he likes you.
- Hi. Yeah.
- [Whines]
- Hi.
[Chuckles] He's a frisky... frisky
little fella, isn't he?
His name's Odie,
and he's not gonna make it...
if he has to live
his life in a cage.
He needs to
be loved.
[Hair Dryer Blowing]
Well, thank you. Thank you very much,
ladies and gentlemen.
- No, maybe not in my neighborhood.
- [Whining]
Hey, Boomer,
I really gotta run.
Gotta fly, everybody. Really, please,
stay behind the security fences.
So great of you
to come out to see me...
but I've got somebody waiting for me,
very devoted, almost crippled.
- [Meowing]
- No, please, don't cry.
I know what it's like to be unloved.
Well, you do.
I'll try to come back and visit,
and if I don't, I'll try to write.
- Bye-bye.
- Does anybody know this guy?
Bye-bye, everybody.
Garfield is leaving the building.
Jon, you know you don't have to do this
if you don't want to.
No. No, it's okay.
Some part of me always wanted
to know what it'd be like...
to have a pet that actually
wants to play with you.
[Laughs]
You're a good friend.
One question... Am I still gorgeous?
[Gasps]
Jon, I think we got
a little problem here.
- [Whining]
- Uh, Jon...
I can help
the transition go smoothly.
[Garfield]
Jon, it's in my seat. Jon.!
- We could all go out together. Park, dog shows,
- Jon.! Uh, Jon?
- Stuff like that.
- Uh, Jonny boy?
W-Wait a minute.
Are... Are you... asking me out?
Oh, Jonny boy, the time has come
to get a car alarm.
You're not gonna believe it. A mongrel mutt
has broken into your car!
Garfield, this is Odie.
He's coming home with us.
Whoa! You went in there to get a date
and came out with a dog?
Oh, that's bad even for you.
Oh, you're so sad!
Oh, no, no, no. We're not
bringing a dog home with us.
Hey, I ride shotgun!
What are you looking at, tick boy?
[Garfield]
Jon, it's not too late.
Quickly, turn around...
before he finds out where we live.!
[Crying]
Please take this
trouser sniffer back.!
- Please.
- Come on, Odie. Let's go.
This is your new home.
[Crying]
Come on, buddy.
Jon, you had me,
a chick magnet...
and now you've got
a tick magnet.
[Sniffling]
Garfield,
Jon brought a dog home.
- I am aware, Nermal.
- Why would he do a thing like that?
Gee, I don't know, Nermal.
It just seems like
a weird thing to do...
bringing a dog into a house
that already has a cat.
Can we drop it?
I mean, it's no big... deal.
It's... just a splattered bug
on the windshield of my life.
A bug?
A dim-witted, smelly, goofy...
[Sighs]
Splattered bug that I will deal with
appropriately and enthusiastically.
- Come on.
- As you can see, I'm stillJon's favorite.
See ya later, Garfield.
Good luck with the bug thing!
Come on.
[Laughs] This is payback
for the liver thing, isn't it?
Payback.
[Laughs] He's a nut.
This is your new home, Odie.
That's my office over there.
And, uh, the TV over there.
- And, uh, the kitchen.
- Hm.
You wanna go see it?
Okay, go see the house. Go see it.
Why don't you draw him
a map?
Okay, I've gotta...
remain calm, that's all.
Jon's a cat guy,
not a dog guy.
This'll last a week,
maybe 10 days. Tops.
Boy, this puppy
is stupid gone wild!
Nah, this is just a bad dream. I'm gonna
close my eyes and when I open them...
everything will be
back to normal.
- [Panting]
- Ah! That's not normal.
Not close.
Oh, great.
Dog cooties.
Somebody inoculate me, please.
