Lorenzo Music: Garfield

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Garfield : [waking up]  Good morning, Morning. Guess I'll get up, wake Jon, exercise... unless, of course, that floor is cold. I hate cold floors. I'm not getting out of bed if that floor is the slightest bit chilly.

  [He places one finger on the floor ever so slightly and cringes] 

  Garfield : Yii! It's freezing! Too bad.

  [sighs] 

  Garfield : ...I'm hungry.

• Garfield : [sees his mom leaving Jon's front porch, last line]  Thanks Mom, for everything.

• [Garfield and Odie have demolished Jon's house as they chase each other through it] 

  Jon Arbuckle : Boys, boys, boys. Just look at this room. What am I going to do with you two? Giving you away at the supermarket comes to mind.

  [Garfield and Odie both look increasingly traumatized by everything that Jon says:] 

  Jon Arbuckle : A one-way ticket to the city pound seems like a good idea. Right now, even taxidermy sounds terrific. I work and slave for you, and do I get any thanks for it? No, I don't! What do I get? A demolition derby in my living room!

  [Garfield and Odie nod toward each other] 

  Jon Arbuckle : That's it, Garfield. This is not normal for you. You're hyperactive, and that's serious. I think it's time for a trip... to the vet!

  Garfield : [traumatized]  No, no! Not the vet!

• Jon Arbuckle : Hungry, Garfield?

  Garfield : You guessed it, buster.

• Garfield : [to his shadow]  Well, shadow, I guess it's just you and me. Let's take 'em!

  [his shadow suddenly makes a panicky motion and runs off] 

  Garfield : Good idea. Wait for me!

  [runs after his shadow] 

• Garfield : I'm sorry I let you down, Mom.

  Garfield's Mom : Oh, there's nothing to be sorry about, Garfield. Not all of us are cut out to be mousers.

  Garfield : I'll say.

• [Garfield enters the kitchen as Jon is fixing himself breakfast] 

  Jon Arbuckle : Hungry, Garfield?

  Garfield : You've guessed it, buster.

  Jon Arbuckle : Okey-dokey.

  [Pours Garfield a bowl of cat food] 

  Jon Arbuckle : Here you go.

  [Jon looks to find Garfield has eaten his breakfast] 

  Garfield : *Hiccup* No thanks, I couldn't possibly eat another bite.

• Garfield's Mom : And um, this is Raoul... y-your brother

  Ràoul : [in a drunken stupor] 

  [coughing and hacking] 

  Ràoul : Wow man... that's the first time I ever seen one of them... "part cat, part house"... must be one of them "house cats"... hehe... that's pretty good.. "house cat"

  [more coughing and hacking] 

  Garfield : House cat, hysterical, so listen, everything cool? Uh, maybe we can hang out sometime..

  Ràoul : Pardon me bros I gotta catch a few more Zs...

  [passes out in a pile of bottles in a crate] 

  Garfield : This is so great, I'm just having a ball

  Garfield's Mom : Raoul isn't well...

  Garfield : I'm not doing that good myself

• Garfield : Now's my time to howl. Harooooo! What's happening baby?

  Girl Cat 1 : Take a hike, Jack!

  Garfield : Harooo! How 'bout you and me doing something beautiful, darling?

  Girl Cat #2 : Can it, creep!

  Garfield : Hey beautiful, what's your sign?

  Girl Cat #2 : Suck air, Bozo!
