A scene from The Garfield Movie 2024
Otto
[The next morning, Garfield, Vic, and Odie are ready for training.]

Alright, gentlemen, I’ve made a list of skills that you’ll need to master in order to break into Lactose Farms. Number one, develop lightning-fast reflexes.

Vic

You tell Garfield there's a plate of pasta on the other side of the wall, and you will see lightning reflexes.

Garfield

Yeah, no, no, no. Depends what kind of possum.

Otto
[holds out a pebble]

This pebble represents danger you may encounter. You need to grab it, before it grabs you.

Garfield
[scoffs]

It grabs me.

Otto

Snatch the pebble from my hand. [Garfield tries to grab the pebble, but Otto moves it away.] Too slow! [He whacks Garfield with his horn.]

Garfield

Ow! What was that for?!

Otto

Being able to grab the pebble could be the difference between life and death.

Garfield

Alright, let me try that again. [grabs the pebble] Ha! Got it! [Otto whacks him again.] What was that for?!

Otto

It’s never just about the pebble.

Vic

Come on, Junior. Everyone knows that.

Otto

Your head’s got to be on a swivel at all times.

Vic

You gotta be ready for anything.

Garfield

I was ready! He changed the game!

Vic

Sounds like someone’s making excuses. [Otto rolls a boulder, and it collides with him, flattening him like a pancake.]

Garfield

And what was that about being ready for anything?

Vic
[pops back to normal]

You were distracting me!

Garfield

Might I suggest putting your head on a swivel?

Otto

You should've seen that coming! [as he hits Garfield and Vic…] Toes on the line! Watch your grip! Cover your side! There are surprises around every corner at Lactose Farms. You need to stay alert. [squishes Garfield and Vic from above] Too slow! A baby could've seen that coming. Too slow! Too slow! Too slow!

Otto
[As this goes on, Odie gets out a chair and sits down while drinking soda.]

You'll never make it through Lactose Farms if you can't survive this training. [He throws tree stumps as Garfield and Vic try to dodge them.]

Vic

Are you for real?!

Garfield

What kind of dairy is this?!

Otto

The kind of dairy that requires teamwork to survive. Danger could be anywhere gentlemen. You gotta be ready to outrun it! [He lifts up a big tree and charges toward them. Garfield and Vic run away.] Here comes the pain!

Vic

Left, right, left, right.

Garfield

You’re confusing me!
[They trip and tumble downhill, sliding on some mud, through the prickly field, jumping into a curvy looped log before coming right out of it, then getting their heads slammed on a beehive, breaking it before seeing their faces covered in bees. Garfield and Vic scream when sliding down. When they slide by some sleeping rabbits, a mother shushes them as the cats cover their mouths from each other. Once they’re past the rabbits, they scream again before crashing into a tree.]

Vic

I think I'm gonna need a wring-out.

Otto
[The tree falls and crushes them. Otto and Odie approach them.] [to Odie; sighs]

If this is going to work, these two have to be on the same page. I’m out of ideas. You got any?
[Odie gives him a thumbs-up.]
