00:30Good morning, John. Sorry to disturb you.
00:37I know you have a busy social calendar, but if you will be so kind as to go to the kitchen and fix me a huge breakfast,
00:43I will allow you to come back to bed and finish your sleep.
01:16I wonder if people with goldfish have this problem.
01:23I trust breakfast met with your satisfaction.
01:33It was filling.
01:37But about those pancakes?
01:39Next time, a little less pan, a little more cake, okay?
01:42Well, stomach, I guess it's time for our early mid-morning nap.
01:47Check that. It's time to abuse the dog.
01:54Kids, don't try this at home.
02:02Hello, what's this?
02:05Take Garfield to vets today.
02:08Oh, no. Not the vets.
02:12John can't take me to the vet.
02:14That's inhumane.
02:15The vet thinks she knows what's good for me.
02:18Good for her.
02:19But that's bad for me.
02:20Because what's bad is good for me.
02:22But if I go to the vet and that's bad, she'll prescribe what's good for me.
02:25And that's not good.
02:26Maybe if today disappeared, John will forget about his little note.
02:33Here, Odie.
02:34Wednesdays are good and good for you.
02:36Hello, hello.
02:38Hello, hello.
02:40What's this?
02:43Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.
02:45Do you see that, Odie?
02:48Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.
02:50That's the day people celebrate having food by eating as much of it as possible.
02:54Hmm?
02:54Yes.
02:55That's the day people try to eat every turkey, pumpkin, and cranberry on the face of the earth.
03:00It's a tradition.
03:02And you know how I love tradition.
03:08Oh, John.
03:11Nice calendar.
03:12Thanksgiving.
03:13Food.
03:14Eat.
03:15Tradition.
03:15Yes, I know.
03:16Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.
03:17Which reminds me, we had better go to the grocery store to get lots of good things to eat.
03:22I'm with you.
03:24Do the mashed potato.
03:26Do the candy yam.
03:28Do the funky turkey.
03:29Cause it's time to jam.
03:31If you don't want to dance, baby, that's all right.
03:34Do some non-stop shopping.
03:36Work up an appetite.
03:39Make your Thanksgiving one long meal.
03:41Cause the more you eat.
03:44The more grateful you are gonna feel.
03:50Now this is what Thanksgiving is all about.
03:59Thanksgiving is cookies.
04:01Thanksgiving is pie filling.
04:03Thanksgiving is coleslaw.
04:04Drive carefully, John.
04:05Don't want to bruise my kumquats.
04:08Wait a minute.
04:09Where are we going, John?
04:11This isn't the way home.
04:12We're going to the vet, Garfield.
04:16No!
04:17No!
04:18No!
04:18No!
04:18Now just relax.
04:31Want me to relax?
04:32Take me to Hawaii.
04:33I'm only bringing you to the vet for a checkup.
04:36Check out, John.
04:37You're only bringing me here to check out the vet.
04:39Why don't you marry her?
04:40Then she can make house calls.
04:41Next.
04:43Hi, Liz.
04:43How have you been?
04:44That's Dr. Wilson to you.
04:46Put the cat here.
04:53So, Liz.
04:55That's doctor to you?
04:56So, Dr. Liz.
04:59How about that weather?
05:00That's a rather personal question, don't you think, Mr. Arbuckle?
05:03I can see this relationship is off to a roaring stop.
05:09How about a date?
05:10I'd sooner die.
05:11Well, don't do that.
05:13Mr. Arbuckle, please.
05:14You can call me John.
05:16I can call out for pizza, too, but I'm not going to call you that.
05:18Call me what?
05:19John!
05:20No, made you say it.
05:20Made you say it.
05:23Don't blame John.
05:24Snappy repartee does not come easily to a dip.
05:27Okay, I'm giving you one last chance, Liz.
05:30Doctor.
05:30Doctor, will you go out with me?
05:32No.
05:33Okay, one more chance.
05:35Never.
05:36Okay, I can take a hint.
05:38I'll just stand here.
05:41Quietly.
05:42I'll just stand here and hold my breath until you say you go out with me.
05:53Oh, that'll impress her.
05:55Well, Mr. Arbuckle, I have examined your cat, and I have some good news and some bad news.
06:06I hate this part.
06:07The good news is your cat is healthy as a horse.
06:10Hear that, John?
06:11The woman is a great physician, a specialist.
06:13The bad news is he's also big as a horse.
06:16He'll have to go on a diet.
06:18Quack.
06:18She's a quack.
06:19Get me out of here.
06:21This can't be happening to me.
06:22I don't do low-fat diet.
06:24Fats are some of my best.
06:26Sugar and starches.
06:27Without them, I'll be lonely.
06:30Exercise is for sweat.
06:31I cramp them.
06:32Fibers for sweaters.
06:34Water is for birdbaths.
06:35The quality of the cat's nutrition determines the quality of the cat's life.
06:40Without food, there's no life as we know it.
06:42And if you love your pet, you'll take good care of him, and he'll be around for a long, long time.
06:46No!
06:51Okay.
06:52I'll go out with you.
06:55Really?
06:56I can't stand to see a dumb animal suffer.
06:58Great!
07:01Tomorrow, my place, I'll fix a big Thanksgiving dinner.
07:04You're gonna love it!
07:05Well, at least we won't be seen in public together.
07:08And then this weekend, we'll...
07:09Don't push it, Buster.
07:11Okay.
07:12Mr. Arbuckle!
07:13Yes?
07:14You forgot your cat.
07:15My cat.
07:16Oh, my cat!
07:26Shoo-be-doo-wah!
07:26You've got a date with my dream.
07:28Check on impress her and make her my girl.
07:32Oh, woe is me.
07:34I'm being put on a diet, and I'm gonna die.
07:37Here, Garfield.
07:38Have some food.
07:39According to your diet, you get this.
07:43That's it?
07:44That's all?
07:44Just one scraggly piece of lettuce?
07:47Oh, I'm sorry, Garfield.
07:48That's not what you get.
07:49Well, I should hope not.
07:51You get half a leaf of lettuce.
07:53That's better.
07:59Ugh!
07:59Gee, I've been on this diet only ten minutes, and I can tell I've already lost something.
08:09My sense of humor.
08:10Ah-ha!
08:24Caught you!
08:25Ah-ha!
08:29Caught you!
08:30Yeah, well, what did you do?
08:32Booby-trap the refrigerator or something?
08:34Garfield, I'd like you to meet my new diet monitor, Odie the Fierce.
08:37Odie will be watching your every move, and every time you go off your diet, he'll blow his whistle, and I will come running.
08:48That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of in my life.
08:53I'm going to put an end to this charade right now.
08:57Huh?
08:57Some day you're going to thank me for this, Garfield.
09:06You're in desperate trouble, mister.
09:09Well, might as well see how the old diet's going.
09:13Hello, I'm RX-2, your talking scale.
09:17I can tell you your weight, your fortune, or just about anything else you would like to know.
09:23Okay, smarty pants, what's my name?
09:26Judging by your weight, you are Orson Welles.
09:30Great.
09:31A voice chip with a cruel streak.
09:33May I have your autograph, please?
09:36Oh, shut up.
09:37Why is everybody picking on me?
09:39Well, what's wrong with being large-boned anyway?
09:42I've seen all your movies.
09:44Hey, how would you like to have your battery removed?
09:47I wouldn't like that, Mr. Welles.
09:50It's not like I'm all that overweight.
09:53I can still see my feet.
09:54I've seen Citizen Kane eight times.
09:58All right, that's it.
10:00You're history.
10:07Rosebud!
10:08Are you anywhere around here, boy?
10:24It's snack time.
10:25The lack of food must be making me hallucinate.
10:54Good morning, Garfield.
11:05Sleep well?
11:07Well, aren't we nasty today?
11:10Save your energy, Garfield.
11:11Nothing you do can spoil my good mood.
11:14It's Thanksgiving, and I have a dinner date with a dreamboat.
11:17Oh, which reminds me.
11:18She'll be here in about three hours,
11:20so I better get the old turkey out of the freezer.
11:24Do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
11:26Gonna fix dinner for the girl I love.
11:30Shiba-da-ba-doo.
11:31Shiba-doo.
11:32Pow, pow.
11:33Okay.
11:34First, we start with the bird.
11:35Let's see here.
11:36Remove bird from freezer at least 24 hours before cooking.
11:39Boop.
11:39Well, I'm sure that's just a minor technicality.
11:43Yum, yum.
11:44Turkey on a stick.
11:46Remove giblets from cavity and stuff with one cup of prepared stuffing.
11:50Well, you can't believe everything you read.
11:53I can hardly bear to watch.
11:55Place in roasting pan, breast side up.
11:58Rub skin with butter.
12:00Hmm.
12:00Well, I don't see what good that'll do, but okay.
12:05Cover with foil and roast at 325 degrees for five and a half hours.
12:11I guess I'll just have to speed things up a bit.
12:14500 degrees.
12:16That was easy.
12:17Okay, now for the vegetables.
12:19Let's see.
12:20Corn, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, turnips, squash.
12:23Be still my beating heart.
12:25Add water and done.
12:27To hear mom and grandma talk, I always thought preparing a Thanksgiving meal was tough.
12:32Ha!
12:33I'll get back to this later.
12:35I'd better spruce myself up a bit.
12:38Thanksgiving.
12:40Humbug.
12:41What good is it if you're on a diet?
12:48If I can't enjoy Thanksgiving, nobody will.
12:52You know, old buddy, if you want something in this world, you just gotta reach out and grab it.
13:01Know what I mean?
13:02I mean, I'm a man, right?
13:04Well, you're a wimpy man, but yeah, you're a man.
13:07And Liz, she's a woman, right?
13:08No, John, she's a veterinarian and a cruel one at that.
13:12It's time this relationship with Liz got off the ground.
13:14She's the one I want, and by golly, I intend to get her.
13:17Careful, you're starting to sweat off your shaving cream.
13:19I'm going to win her heart, Garfield. You'll see. I'm in control of my own destiny.
13:24Ha!
13:25Ever considered putting someone else in charge of your destiny?
13:29Garfield, I need help.
13:31Understatement of the year.
13:33As you know, clothes make the man. I need your frank opinion on what to wear for dinner.
13:37How about the formal look?
13:41Semi-formal?
13:43Informal?
13:45High roller?
13:46The sporty look?
13:48Disco John?
13:50Beast.
13:51The rugged individualist.
13:58I'm running out of clothes, Garfield. You got any suggestions?
14:01Yeah, try dressing as yourself.
14:03Maybe if I just dressed as myself.
14:05Guy has a shaky grasp of the obvious.
14:07How's this?
14:08Bingo.
14:10With one teeny tiny little exception.
14:12Oh boy, she's here, Garfield. She actually came.
14:17When it comes to insecurity, John's a heavyweight.
14:22Liz!
14:23Nice to see you.
14:24Nice polka dot boxer shorts.
14:27Oops.
14:27Thanks for telling me I wasn't wearing any pants, Garfield.
14:33Oh, sure. Blame it on the pet.
14:35Come on.
14:36I want you to be nice to my dinner guest.
14:38First I have to be a fashion consultant.
14:40Now I have to be an actor.
14:43Come in.
14:44Come in, my dear.
14:45Welcome to my humble abode.
14:47It's not much, but we like to call it home.
14:50Yeah.
14:50Come in, Doc.
14:51Tell me, are you fond of indigestion?
14:54Hmm.
14:55Something smells.
14:56Oh, that's just a little Thanksgiving dinner I whipped up.
14:59Oh, I was afraid of that.
15:02Make yourself comfortable, Liz.
15:03I need to slip into the kitchen and take care of a few last-minute details.
15:08Yeah, like finding something to eat.
15:11So, Garfield, how's the diet?
15:14I see you're still the size of an aircraft carrier.
15:16Well, as long as you're here, I might as well check you for any deficiencies.
15:21I don't want you to become anemic.
15:23Don't forget beri-beri, rickets, and scurvy, too, Doc.
15:27Sometimes people who suffer from vitamin deficiencies as a result of dieting can become listless.
15:33They can also be irritable or nervous.
15:37Sometimes they suffer from an uncontrollable twitch or even dementia.
15:42They may even have difficulty in breathing.
15:46You know, Garfield, maybe this diet has been too hard on you.
15:54I'd rather see you fat and healthy than like this.
15:56Maybe I could let you skip the diet for right now and start you with some mild exercise instead.
16:01Would you like that?
16:07I'm free, I'm free, I can eat.
16:09Oh, joy, oh, rapture, oh, no.
16:16Hey, John, another frozen dinner?
16:22Everything is ruined, Garfield.
16:24What can I do?
16:25I'm doomed.
16:26Liz will never speak to me again.
16:28Very funny, Garfield.
16:38I can't feed Liz this.
16:40John, you nitwit.
16:43Well, this is Grandma's favorite record.
16:44Should I play it for Liz?
16:47This old pillow Grandma crocheted is comforting, Garfield, but it still doesn't solve the problem with dinner.
16:52I'm not cold, Garfield.
16:55Why did you drag out the sweater Grandma made for me last Christmas?
16:59Last chance.
17:02I know.
17:03I'll call Grandma.
17:05She'll know what to do.
17:06Oh, John, you're a genius.
17:09If he had a brain, he'd be dangerous.
17:16Thanks, Grandma.
17:17You're a lifesaver.
17:18See you in a few.
17:19Have cooking utensils, we'll travel.
17:31Well, what are you just standing there for, boy?
17:33Get in there and spark your young lady friend.
17:35And leave the kitchen to Grandma.
17:37Shoo!
17:38Shoo!
17:39Now, where's the patient?
17:41How's dinner coming?
17:43Great.
17:43Just great.
17:44It's simmering, or whatever food does.
17:47Can I give you a hand?
17:49No.
17:49Uh, thanks.
17:50You know, one of the things I always like to do for Thanksgiving right before the meal
17:54is to reminisce on the real meaning of Thanksgiving.
17:57Are you serious?
17:58Just what is Thanksgiving?
18:00Is it a day just like any other day?
18:02No.
18:02Is it an object, like my old trusty chair here?
18:05No.
18:06Thanksgiving is a holiday.
18:07A harvest festival, really.
18:09A day for giving thanks for our blessings.
18:11You are serious.
18:13How's my favorite kitty cat today?
18:16Better, now that you're here, Grandma.
18:18Oh, you're looking a little thin.
18:21Isn't that grandson of mine feeding you?
18:23Grandma, I love you.
18:24Don't ever leave us.
18:26My, my, my, my, my.
18:28What have we here?
18:29Looks like something the cat dragged in.
18:31If you'll pardon the expression, Garfield.
18:35Well, I love a challenge, and this sure as heck looks like one.
18:39Stand back, Garfield.
18:40This is war.
18:41Now, the first Thanksgiving was in 1621.
18:45The Pilgrims had had a good harvest, so Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast, you see.
18:49They invited their Indian friends to join them, and everyone brought food.
18:53There was venison, turkey, duck, fish.
18:57What's that?
18:58Sounds like, uh, the dishwasher.
19:01So, there was hot cornmeal bread and Indian pudding.
19:05Ever had Grandma's famous turkey croquette, Garfield?
19:08Nothing fun.
19:10Go, Grandma, go.
19:11There, now.
19:12We'll just flip together a little white sauce.
19:14A bit of parsley, dashed lemon juice, and grated onion.
19:16Now, we'll add our turkey to the white sauce.
19:18Make some bread and roll our mixture in the bread and then deep fat fry.
19:21Deep fat fry.
19:22Deep fat fry.
19:23Music to my ears.
19:25Interestingly enough, it was Abraham Lincoln who officially proclaimed the last Thursday in November as Thanksgiving in 1863, you see.
19:32Now, get this.
19:33In Canada, they celebrate Thanksgiving, too, but it's not on the fourth Thursday of November.
19:38They celebrate it on the second Monday in October.
19:40Isn't that wild?
19:42I had no idea.
19:44How about some sweet potatoes?
19:47Oh, now, come on, Garfield.
19:49You never had Grandma's sweet potatoes.
19:52This is true.
19:53A cup of butter.
19:54A cup of brown sugar.
19:55And some marshmallows.
19:56I'm starting to like them already.
19:58Now, guess where it'd be if you were to bow before a shrine of candles and offer a bowl of rice.
20:04Any guesses?
20:05It'd be in Japan, and they call it Labor Thanksgiving Day.
20:09Have you ever seen my split-second cranberry sauce?
20:12Too late, you blinked, Garfield.
20:14Ha-ha!
20:14And now, for the piece de resistance.
20:20Pumpkin pie.
20:22Skip the piece of resistance.
20:24Just give me a piece of pie.
20:25Nice touch
20:38Now, I'll just slip quietly out the door, Garfield
20:42You tell that young lady of his that she couldn't find a better man than John
20:46And she better not blow it, or she'll have to answer to me
20:49Oh, then Garfield, eat a piece of pie for me
20:53They just don't make them like that anymore
21:01And in England, their Thanksgiving is called Harvest Home Day
21:05Now, in Bolivia
21:06I think things should just about be ready
21:11Where am I?
21:14Dinner is served, madame
21:17Oh, John, I'm so impressed
21:24So am I
21:26It's a quiet celebration
21:30With family and friends
21:33A time for counting blessings
21:36A time to make amends
21:39There's a feeling all around you
21:41You can hold it in your hands
21:44And pass it round the table
21:46For all to understand
21:49Though tomorrow
21:50May take us far away
21:56Let's sit together now
22:01Let's find a way somehow
22:04To feel Thanksgiving
22:06Every day
22:10That was a wonderful meal
22:16Thanks for inviting me, John
22:18Same time next year?
22:20Mm-hmm, that'd be nice
22:21I'll be here before the meal
22:22But after the history lesson
22:24Well, it was a great day
22:34And judging by the looks of you two
22:37And your bellies
22:37I'd say you had a great day, too
22:39I know one thing I'm thankful for today
22:42Grandma
22:43Well, let's take a little walk
22:46And try to work off some of this food, boys
22:47Come on, boy
23:00Come on, Odie
23:01Oh, no
23:03Not you, too
23:05I suppose we'll have to put you on a diet
23:08As of right now
23:09All right, Odie
23:15Give me ten
23:16And wipe that stupid smile off your face
23:19Come on, soldier
23:20I said down and ten
23:22One and two
23:23And one and two
23:24Are we having fun yet?
23:27One and two
23:28And one and two
23:29Do the mashed potato
23:32Do the candy yam
23:34Do the funky turkey
23:35Cause it's time to jam
23:37If you don't wanna dance
23:39Baby, that's all right
23:40Do some non-stop shopping
23:42Work up an appetite
23:44Make your thanksgiving
23:46One long meal
23:47Cause the more you eat
23:50The more grateful
23:53You are gonna feel
23:56Over the
23:59You are gonna die
24:03Thank you
