“Our best shot at jumping on a train is here.” – Vic, The Garfield Movie ... Movie Quotes Database

Vic

[Back with Garfield, Vic, and Odie as they slide down a hill and stop by the railroad tracks.]

Our best shot at jumping on a train is here.

Garfield

Hold on a sec. I’m just taking in the wind speed, the direction of the sun, and various angles. Yes, I say we jump the train from right here.

Vic

Didn’t I just say that?

Garfield

I’ve seen enough television a million times. We’ll need a hundred feet of rope...

Vic

Uh-huh. Rope. Yeah, okay. [He sets Garfield on a branch and pulls it back]

Garfield

We’ll throw the rope over that branch right there.

Vic

Branch. Uh-huh. Got it.

Garfield

Can you follow me? Alright. [as the train approaches] And then, timing it just right, we swing over as the train passes by and land on top of the car. Boom!

Vic

Or, we can do this! [He lets go of the branch, launching Garfield through an open train car.] Odie! Jump, boy!

Garfield

[As the two jump on, Garfield is sprung off a tree, launching him into another.]

Uh-oh… [gets sprung off] AHHHH!!!! WHOA!

Nolan

[The two trees bounce Garfield back and forth while Nolan and Roland watch from a distance.]

Part of me wants to help him.

Roland

No. This is how he learns.

Used Catapult Customer

[Then, Garfield bounces off the awning of a trailer, gets kicked off by a billy goat, and splats on a car window. He grins maniacally before the unfazed driver wipes him off the window. Cut to a catapult sale going on. A customer speaks to the salesman about a catapult.]

I don’t know. It’s kind of pricey. How much does it handle? [Garfield lands on the catapult and it launches him away; impressed.] Whoa! I’ll take it!

Vic

[Garfield bounces off a parade float of himself, rolls downhill, falls off a cliff, lands and bounces off a power line, and finally lands in a pile of manure inside the train car Vic and Odie are on.]

See? I told you this was gonna be fun!

Garfield

[in the manure]

You and I have different definitions of "fun".
