“So, once I get on the train, I untie Vic and we jump off right as the...” – Garfield, The Garfield Movie ... Movie Quotes Database

Garfield

[…Garfield and Otto approach the tree.]

So, once I get on the train, I untie Vic and we jump off right as the train gets to the bridge.

Otto

Correct. Chipmunk will be waiting for you.

Otto

[Cut to Odie below the Mile High Bridge, he has made a net at the bottom of a cliff with spikes.] [on com]

Confirm your status, Chipmunk.

Otto

[Odie barks with a thumbs-up. Otto pulls back the branch while Garfield puts on his stunt suit.]

If you don’t jump right as the train gets to the bridge, you’ll miss the net.

Garfield

Got it. It’s getting close.

Otto

Have you considered throwing a rope over a branch and just swinging onto the passing train instead?

Garfield

You watch too much TV.

Otto

I’ve never watched TV.

Garfield

This way is much better than your rope idea.

Otto

Better than the versatile, reliable rope?

Garfield

Look, I’ve studied the science. I know what I’m doing.

Otto

And you think you can battle these villains on your own?

Garfield

Oh, yeah. I have a plan. [speaks on com] Odie, make the order.

Garfield

[Odie barks and gets out Jon’s phone, confirming a new delivery.]

Now get ready to fling me in the direction of that moving train. [As the train approaches...] Get ready. If I don’t make it back, tell my story. [The train comes near.] Now! [Otto lets go of the branch, sending him flying.]

Otto

[on com]

Roadkill, you’re too high! You’re gonna miss it!

Garfield

[on com]

No, no, this is how you do it. It’s called a ricochet approach! [Otto facepalms. Garfield flies over a train and gets kicked off by a same billy goat from before, knocking him out of his suit. Then, he bounces off Otto’s belly.]

Jinx

[Cut to the train, Jinx sees a sign saying, "MILE HIGH BRIDGE - 5 MILES AHEAD".] [laughs evilly]

It won’t be long now! I can’t tell you how excited I am for what’s about to happen next!

Garfield

[Suddenly, Garfield flies into her, knocking her into Roland and Nolan. He then runs over to his dad.]

Dad, I’m here to rescue you!

Vic

No, no, no, no, no, Junior, get out of here!

Garfield

I'm gonna untie you and we're gonna jump off the train!

Vic

NO, JUST LEAVE ME AND GO!

Garfield

I DIDN'T COME THIS FAR JUST TO TURN AROUND! LET ME UNTIE YOU!

Jinx

[grabs a nearby axe; enraged]

You’re ruining everything! [She swings it down, but Garfield has it cut the rope instead, freeing Vic.]

Garfield

Hurry! This way. [He and Vic carefully walk the side of the train car. As Garfield spots a ladder close by, Jinx summons her henchdogs.]

Jinx

[groans]

You half-wit! Get them!

Garfield

[Garfield climbs to the top of the car. Vic tries to cross when Roland opens the door and tries to grab him. Vic throws the rope to Garfield, and he pulls him up. They see some oncoming branches and dodge them. Garfield sees the sign saying, "MILE HIGH BRIDGE - 3 MILES AHEAD".]

The bridge is coming up! We gotta get to the caboose now!

Vic

What? Why?

Garfield

Just follow my lead!

Roland

[As they run toward the caboose, Roland appears in front of their path. They turn back, only to see Nolan. The two cats are surrounded.]

Oy, kitty cat. Do you really expect to take on us all by yourself?

Garfield

No. I brought...takeout.

Roland

Huh?

Nolan

Huh?
[Up in the sky, we see tons of drones flying in with deliveries as the Top Gun theme plays. Garfield gets out of the rope and grabs onto a drone, flying up. He stuffs meatballs in his mouth and jumps down onto the train car, shooting them like a machine gun. They hit Nolan away and Jinx growls at this. Then, Garfield gets onto another drone to pour dressing on the salad. He throws the salad on the roof, making Roland slip on it.]

Garfield

I never understood the purpose of salad until...[throws a salad leaf away]...this exact moment.

Garfield

[Vic trips Roland. However, Garfield sees another sign saying, "MILE HIGH BRIDGE - 1 MILE AHEAD". Time is running out! He flies over to his dad.]

Go, go! Now! [He and Vic head toward the caboose.]

Jinx

Get after them!

Roland

[Roland chases them down. As Vic tries to jump, the big dog pulls him back by the rope. Garfield turns back and grabs a season shaker to pour it on Roland's eyes, stinging him.]

OW!

Garfield

[Garfield hops over from one box to another.]

Yeah, in case you were wondering, I do my own stunts. Me...and Tom Cruise.

Vic

[Jinx grabs the box he's on, spins him around, and throws him off.]

Junior!

Jinx

[Luckily, Garfield gets on another. Vic cheers for his son.] [to her hench-dogs]

Stop him!

Vic

[Garfield hops across a path of pizza boxes and grabs a container of Mamma Leoni's Hot Sauce. He opens it and gulps the sauce down. He then gets on the train car and breathes fire at the villains, scaring them off.]

Now that’s amazing!

Garfield

[his tongue numb]

I can’t feel my tongue!

Otto

[on com]

Roadkill, are you at the caboose ready to jump?

Garfield

[Garfield sees the caboose being a few train cars away. He sees a hanging tree branch and gets an idea. He uses the rope to catch the branch and swing him and his father to the caboose. However, the two cats hang by both sides of the car. Vic makes it while Garfield flies around and runs across a wall.]

Dad! Dad!

Vic

Jump, Junior! I’ll catch you!

Vic

[Garfield jumps and Vic catches him. He pulls his son in for a hug, but they see the villains glaring from inside the car. Garfield sees a sign reading, "MILE HIGH BRIDGE AHEAD". They have arrived at the Mile High Bridge.]

What do we do now?!

Garfield

We do this! [He pushes Vic off the train.]

Vic

AHHHHH!

Garfield

[to Jinx and her hench-dogs]

See you, everyone! [He falls off the train but notices his dad flying up.]

Vic

[flying up]

The net’s too tight!

Otto

[on com]

Roadkill, the net is too tight!

Garfield

[on com]

I heard! [He bounces off the net and he and his father crash through the caboose.]

Jinx

Hello again! Welcome back. Now, where were we? [Soon, the two dogs hang Garfield and Vic over the side of the train, ready to drop them.] No, no, don’t throw them over just yet! I want to find the perfect place for them to make the biggest splat.

Vic

Hey, Junior. Junior, Junior.

Jinx

Get ready! Almost there!

Garfield

Sorry my rescue didn’t work out.

Vic

No, you gave me another chance. That’s all that matters.

Jinx

[Garfield smiles at his father. Roland and Nolan see this, touched at the father and son moment.]

Now! Now! Drop them now! [gasps] What are you waiting for?!

Roland

[However, the two dogs refuse to drop Garfield and Vic.]

Their love for one another indicates that despite their current circumstance, they are at peace. [Nolan nods.] Because...they are together.

Jinx

So?

Nolan

If the point of your revenge was to hurt them...It has done the opposite. It’s actually textbook irony!

Roland

And we’re no longer comfortable with your plan. [Nolan nods again.]

Jinx

You two are still as weak as you were when I found you sniveling in the pound! [imitates Roland] "Oooh, no one will adopt us. I never grew into my folds. I hide behind them because I'm socially awkward." [imitates Nolan] "Please! Somebody love me! Even if I can’t sit still for more than 10 seconds and have the attention span of A BLOODY GOLDFISH!"

Roland

We did everything you ever asked of us. I even spoke with this ridiculous accent to make you feel more at home! But no more! [speaks in a Brooklyn accent] I’m New York, loud and proud! I love myself the way I am, and I’m a big, brave boy, baby!

Nolan

I’ve been working on my attention span! [notices a hot air balloon and gasps] Is that a hot air balloon?

Jinx

[growls as her mood necklace turns red, furiously; last words before her defeat]

You two... ARE... WORTHLESS! [She pushes her former hench-dogs along with Garfield and Vic off the train.]

Garfield, Vic, Roland, Nolan

AAAHHHHHH!!!!!

Garfield & Vic

[Jinx laughs evilly, only to get knocked off by an overpass.] [screaming]

Garfield

[As Garfield, Vic, Roland, and Nolan fall, they all grab hands and Roland’s folds open up like a parachute, floating them safely down.]

Might I just say, as someone else with a zaftig figure, you have a beautiful body, sir.

Roland

Oh, dear!

Otto

[Unfortunately, they give way and they resume falling down. Just then, Otto swings in on rope, saving them all.]

Rope. Versatile. Reliable.

Garfield

There’s something about your cadence that really throws me, but thank you.

Roland

[Otto also grabs the falling Jinx and sets the five of them on the net. Jinx ends up getting stuck. Nolan cackles at this.]

Tee-hee.

Vic

[Odie licks Garfield before embracing him.]

Tossing me off the train? Did not see that coming.

Garfield

Well, when you live in the wild, you gotta keep your head on a swivel.

Vic

Right.

Garfield

[eats a leaf]

It’s basic Outdoor Cat 101.... [then] And that had bird poop on it! [spits it out]

Otto

Hey, you good, Roadkill?

Garfield

Not quite. There’s one last thing to take care of. Cut to...
