1. - Garfield, wake up.
Copy !req
2. - Good morning, Jon.
Copy !req
3. - No time for
small talk, Garfield.
Copy !req
4. It's Christmas morning and
you know what that means.
Copy !req
5. - Of course, I do.
Christmas means presents.
Copy !req
6. Lots and lots of presents.
Copy !req
7. - First things
first, Garfield.
Copy !req
8. You can't open presents
on an empty stomach.
Copy !req
9. Here are your
breakfast lasagnas.
Copy !req
10. You may eat your way
to the tree.
Copy !req
11. Okay, Garfield.
Copy !req
12. You wait right here
while I get your gift.
Copy !req
13. - Now that's what
I call a Christmas gift.
Copy !req
14. - It's the gift that
keeps on giving, Garfield.
Copy !req
15. Here, let me show you.
Copy !req
16. Now watch this.
Copy !req
17. This gift-giving machine
can read your mind.
Copy !req
18. Whatever you think of,
it will give you.
Copy !req
19. Observe.
Copy !req
20. Neat, huh?
Copy !req
21. - Let me try that.
Copy !req
22. And that's just
for starters.
Copy !req
23. Now this is what
Christmas is all about.
Copy !req
24. - Things, stuff, gadgets,
toys, greed, avarice.
Copy !req
25. I love it.
Copy !req
26. Garfield!
Copy !req
27. Wake up.
Copy !req
28. Oh, it's you.
Copy !req
29. Leave your number.
I'll get back to you.
Copy !req
30. - Hey, Garfield,
guess what today is.
Copy !req
31. - Listen carefully, Jon.
Copy !req
32. I don't do pop quizzes
before breakfast, okay?
Copy !req
33. - Are you ready
for this, Garfield?
Copy !req
34. It's Christmas Eve morning.
Copy !req
35. We're gonna pack up
our presents
Copy !req
36. and go to the farm
for Christmas.
Copy !req
37. Won't that be fun?
Copy !req
38. - You got a real sick
sense of humor, Jon.
Copy !req
39. You know that, don't you?
Copy !req
40. - The whole family's
gonna be there.
Copy !req
41. Dad, Mom and Grandma
and Doc Boy.
Copy !req
42. - And Good Boy and Bad Boy
and Oh Boy and Attaboy...
Copy !req
43. - Come on, Garfield.
Copy !req
44. We have a busy day
ahead of us.
Copy !req
45. - Why is it every Christmas
I get drug outta my warm bed
Copy !req
46. just to see some
stupid old relatives?
Copy !req
47. And why is it I always have
to go to the stupid old farm?
Copy !req
48. Why can't they come here
where my warm bed is?
Copy !req
49. And why am I whispering?
Copy !req
50. - We're almost back
on the farm now, boys.
Copy !req
51. I can almost smell Mom's
chestnut dressing
Copy !req
52. baking in the oven right now.
Copy !req
53. - It's not what I smell.
- There's no doubt about it.
Copy !req
54. Christmas is
my favorite holiday.
Copy !req
55. The air is crisp,
homes are brightly decorated,
Copy !req
56. and everybody's
walking around
Copy !req
57. with big smiles
on their faces.
Copy !req
58. Yeah, well,
almost everybody.
Copy !req
59. I think the best part
Copy !req
60. is watching
the faces of children
Copy !req
61. and sharing the memories of
being a child at Christmas.
Copy !req
62. I remember when my brother,
Doc Boy, and I were little.
Copy !req
63. - Oh, brother.
Here we go again.
Copy !req
64. - Now behave yourself
this Christmas, Garfield.
Copy !req
65. - No problem.
I'll wait in the car.
Copy !req
66. - Ho, ho, ho!
Merry Christmas, Mom!
Copy !req
67. - Oh, merry Christmas
to you, too, honey.
Copy !req
68. Oh, it's so nice to see you.
Copy !req
69. Here, let me take
those packages.
Copy !req
70. - Hi, Dad.
Merry Christmas!
Copy !req
71. - Merry Christmas,
city slicker.
Copy !req
72. - Doc Boy!
How's my favorite brother?
Copy !req
73. - Don't call me Doc Boy.
Copy !req
74. And you've probably forgotten
I'm your only brother.
Copy !req
75. - Oh, right.
- Don't mind me.
Copy !req
76. You can visit until your lips
fall off for all I care.
Copy !req
77. I'll just sit here
in the dark alone
Copy !req
78. until you decide to come
over and pay your respects.
Copy !req
79. Nobody gives a hoot about
an old woman like me anyway.
Copy !req
80. - How could I ignore
my favorite girl?
Copy !req
81. Merry Christmas, Grandma.
Copy !req
82. - Oh, merry Christmas, Jon.
Copy !req
83. - Oh, I been doing okay,
considering.
Copy !req
84. What's this, Jon?
Copy !req
85. I see you're putting
on a little belly.
Copy !req
86. Is that city life
making you soft?
Copy !req
87. - Ooh!
Copy !req
88. - Oh, you're
getting soft, boy.
Copy !req
89. You need to get more physical.
Take me.
Copy !req
90. I do 100 sit-ups every morning.
My belly is hard as a rock.
Copy !req
91. Come on.
Hit me right here.
Copy !req
92. Give me your best shot.
Copy !req
93. - Uh, Grandma, you remember
Garfield, don't you?
Copy !req
94. - Well, I'll be.
Copy !req
95. I remember back when all
we had were wood-burning cats.
Copy !req
96. Lord, what'll
they think of next?
Copy !req
97. - Bizarre.
Copy !req
98. The whole family is together
again for the holidays.
Copy !req
99. Oh, we are going to have
such a splendid Christmas.
Copy !req
100. Oh, I'm so happy
I could just burst.
Copy !req
101. - Oh, put a sock
in it, dearie.
Copy !req
102. Let's go finish dinner.
Copy !req
103. - I can see Grandma and I
are gonna get along just fine.
Copy !req
104. - This is what it's
all about, right, boys?
Copy !req
105. Hard work, brisk weather
and beautiful scenery.
Copy !req
106. I think somebody
turned the lights out.
Copy !req
107. In fact, I'd go
so far as to say things
Copy !req
108. can't get must worse than...
Copy !req
109. - Oh!
Copy !req
110. I gotta quit saying that.
Copy !req
111. - By any chance,
you're not thinking
Copy !req
112. of putting chili powder
in my sausage gravy,
Copy !req
113. are you, Grandma?
Copy !req
114. - Why, no.
Copy !req
115. Heavens to Betsy, child, what
would give you such a notion?
Copy !req
116. Just 'cause my chili gravy
Copy !req
117. won a Blue Ribbon at
the County Fair
Copy !req
118. and your gravy
didn't even place.
Copy !req
119. Who am I to tell you
how to make gravy?
Copy !req
120. The Green County
Gravy Champion, that's who.
Copy !req
121. - Hey, Garfield,
where's Odie?
Copy !req
122. - In the barn.
Let's eat.
Copy !req
123. What's this?
Copy !req
124. Why, it's sausage gravy.
Copy !req
125. Perfect!
Copy !req
126. - Mm, this smells great.
Copy !req
127. - Doc Boy, will you
say grace, please?
Copy !req
128. - Oh, Mom.
- Doc Boy.
Copy !req
129. - I never know what to—
Copy !req
130. Lord, we just wanna tell you
Copy !req
131. how grateful we are
for this food
Copy !req
132. and for letting us all be here
together on Christmas Eve.
Copy !req
133. - Amen.
Copy !req
134. - And as surely as
the waters of the streams
Copy !req
135. and the rivers find the sea,
let each of us find happiness
Copy !req
136. and wisdom in this our—
Copy !req
137. Thanks, Lord.
Let's eat.
Copy !req
138. - Hey, Mom,
pass the potatoes, please.
Copy !req
139. - Scalloped, whipped,
fried, baked or boiled?
Copy !req
140. - Mom, you always fix
too much food.
Copy !req
141. - I know, honey, I know.
Now what would you like?
Copy !req
142. - I can't decide.
Just give me a piece of pie.
Copy !req
143. - Apple, peach,
pumpkin, blueberry,
Copy !req
144. cherry or banana cream?
Copy !req
145. - Mm, attentive service,
excellent cuisine.
Copy !req
146. However, the decor leaves
something to be desired.
Copy !req
147. I give this place two stars.
Copy !req
148. - You sure are packing the food
away tonight, Grandma.
Copy !req
149. - I'm eating for
two now, dear.
Copy !req
150. - Ah.
Copy !req
151. - That was a great meal, Mom.
Copy !req
152. - And you too, Grandma.
Copy !req
153. - Thank you, Jon.
Copy !req
154. - Well, it wasn't much, but
I was hoping you'd like it.
Copy !req
155. - Hey, Garfield, there's
plenty of leftovers.
Copy !req
156. Would you like
something to eat?
Copy !req
157. - Oh, no, thank you, Jon.
Copy !req
158. I've opted to watch my
waistline this holiday season.
Copy !req
159. - Okay, everybody,
it's time to trim the tree!
Copy !req
160. - Just listen to
'em, Garfield.
Copy !req
161. All jawing at once like
a bunch of banshees.
Copy !req
162. Crazy, isn't it?
Copy !req
163. Of course, to make it
through this whole life,
Copy !req
164. you have to be
a little crazy.
Copy !req
165. - You said it, Grandma.
Copy !req
166. - Why, just look at me.
I talk to cats.
Copy !req
167. - Careful, Dad.
Don't hurt yourself.
Copy !req
168. - Why is it we always put
the stupid star on last?
Copy !req
169. Why don't we put the star
on the top of the tree,
Copy !req
170. and then put the tree up?
Copy !req
171. - Well, it just
wouldn't be Christmas
Copy !req
172. if we put the star
on first, honey.
Copy !req
173. - Hey, Garfield.
Come over here.
Copy !req
174. Garfield, I have a very
important job for you.
Copy !req
175. It's a dangerous assignment,
but if you succeed,
Copy !req
176. you'll be a hero.
Copy !req
177. - A hero.
I like that.
Copy !req
178. - I want you to take
this star up the tree
Copy !req
179. and put it on the top.
Copy !req
180. - Climbing trees
is my life, sir.
Copy !req
181. If I'm not back in an hour,
Copy !req
182. send a banana cream pie
after me.
Copy !req
183. This is gonna be
a piece of cake.
Copy !req
184. Never send a man
to do a cat's job.
Copy !req
185. - Whoever invented
Christmas trees
Copy !req
186. should be drug out into
the street and shot.
Copy !req
187. Here we go!
Copy !req
188. - Ooh!
Copy !req
189. - Nice touch.
Copy !req
190. - Why don't you
play for us, Mom?
Copy !req
191. - Why, hello, Garfield.
Copy !req
192. How did you know I needed
a kitty in my lap?
Copy !req
193. - Wild guess.
Copy !req
194. - Since Grandpa passed on,
I've whiled away
Copy !req
195. many a lonely hour rocking
and stroking my cats.
Copy !req
196. - I envy those cats.
Copy !req
197. - Grandpa was a proud man,
a strong man.
Copy !req
198. He was a good provider.
We've never had much money
Copy !req
199. but we always had plenty
of food on the table.
Copy !req
200. And he always made
something special for me
Copy !req
201. and each of the children
at Christmas.
Copy !req
202. Men like him didn't feel
like they could show
Copy !req
203. much affection outwardly
to the children.
Copy !req
204. But on Christmas, it was okay.
Copy !req
205. He always pretended not to be
excited on Christmas morning.
Copy !req
206. But his eyes gave him away.
Copy !req
207. I think...
Copy !req
208. I think it was his
favorite day of the year.
Copy !req
209. Sometimes I wake up
in the night
Copy !req
210. and I can still feel
his strong arms around me.
Copy !req
211. This is the night
I miss him most.
Copy !req
212. - And now,
ladies and gentlemen,
Copy !req
213. it is time for...
Copy !req
214. - Dad to read
us our Christmas story.
Copy !req
215. - Yeah!
Copy !req
216. - Which is entitled "Binky, the
Clown Who Saved Christmas."
Copy !req
217. - Here's the book, dear.
Copy !req
218. Now go over to your
favorite chair
Copy !req
219. and we'll all listen
to you read the story.
Copy !req
220. - I'm beginning to feel
a little silly
Copy !req
221. reading this book
year after year.
Copy !req
222. - Oh, but think of
the children, dear.
Copy !req
223. - Yeah.
- They so look forward to it.
Copy !req
224. - Right, Dad.
Copy !req
225. - Yeah, let's see if Binky saves
Christmas again this year.
Copy !req
226. - Once upon a time,
there was a clown named Binky
Copy !req
227. who loved children.
Copy !req
228. Every time Binky saw children,
he would say, "Hey, kids."
Copy !req
229. - Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Dad, read it with more emotion.
Copy !req
230. - Yeah, yeah, and why don't
you say it like Binky says it.
Copy !req
231. - Every time Binky
saw children,
Copy !req
232. he would say, "Hey, kids!"
Copy !req
233. Cut that out.
Copy !req
234. And once again, Binky the Clown
saved Christmas for children
Copy !req
235. all over the world.
The end.
Copy !req
236. - I don't know about you, Jon.
Copy !req
237. But for a couple
of minutes there,
Copy !req
238. I was getting pretty worried.
Copy !req
239. - Ooh, me too.
- All right, boys.
Copy !req
240. It's time to get
ready for bed.
Copy !req
241. - All right!
- Yeah.
Copy !req
242. Now where did he go?
Copy !req
243. - I don't believe it.
Copy !req
244. These letters
must be 50 years old.
Copy !req
245. - Hey, Dad. Psst.
Copy !req
246. - Well, I'm awake now.
What do you boys want?
Copy !req
247. - Is it time to open
our presents yet?
Copy !req
248. - It's 1:30 in the morning.
Copy !req
249. No, it's not time
to open presents yet!
Copy !req
250. - It is Christmas
morning now, you know.
Copy !req
251. - Doc Boy has
a point there, Dad.
Copy !req
252. Any time after midnight
is technically
Copy !req
253. Christmas morning, you know.
Copy !req
254. - Go to bed!
- All right, all right.
Copy !req
255. - Pleasant dreams, Dad.
It is Christmas morning.
Copy !req
256. - I know that and
you know that.
Copy !req
257. - Well, what do you boys
wanna do first?
Copy !req
258. Do you wanna do chores,
do you wanna eat breakfast,
Copy !req
259. or do you wanna
open presents?
Copy !req
260. - Presents!
Copy !req
261. - Oh, Mom and Dad,
thank you.
Copy !req
262. - You're welcome, honey.
Copy !req
263. Well, that was
a very nice Christmas.
Copy !req
264. - It's not over yet.
One minute.
Copy !req
265. - Why, thank you, Garfield.
What's this?
Copy !req
266. Oh, my. Oh, my.
Copy !req
267. - Jon, these are
love letters
Copy !req
268. your Grandpa sent me when
we were courting
Copy !req
269. a long, long time ago.
Copy !req
270. My darlin', if the sea were of
ink and the sky of parchment,
Copy !req
271. I couldn't begin
to write my love for you.
Copy !req
272. When next we meet... oh, my.
Copy !req
273. - Well, what does
he say, Grandma?
Copy !req
274. - It is inappropriate
for a lady
Copy !req
275. to talk about
her romances, my dear.
Copy !req
276. Garfield, I don't know
how you managed
Copy !req
277. to find these letters.
Copy !req
278. I think they are
the nicest presents
Copy !req
279. I could have received.
Copy !req
280. Thank you very, very much.
Copy !req
281. - Yeah. You might say I
just kind of fell into 'em.
Copy !req
282. - Okay, I'm coming.
Copy !req
283. - Ta-da!
Copy !req
284. - Ooh!
Copy !req
285. - Whoa! Let me try that!
Copy !req
286. Odie, sometimes
you amaze me.
Copy !req
287. This is the best present
a cat could ever get.
Copy !req
288. Now and then,
you're something special.
Copy !req
289. - Aw.
Copy !req
290. - All right, you guys.
Copy !req
291. Just permit me one sentimental
moment here, will you?
Copy !req
292. I have something to say.
Christmas.
Copy !req
293. It's not the giving,
it's not the getting.
Copy !req
294. It's the loving.
Copy !req
295. There, I said it.
Now get outta here.
Copy !req
