8	* Moments before that, when Jon asks where Odie is, Garfied mimes the entire scene from before (how they harassed a grumpy old man who calls the dogcatcher, who then takes away Odie).
9	-->'''Jon:''' You got fleas, or something?\
10	'''Garfield:''' ''(grabs Jon's face)'' What we have here is a failure to communicate.\
11	''[Garfield pats Jon's cheeks, then slaps him]''
12	* Garfield waking Jon up... First pulling his blanket off him, then opening up one eye, then tap-dancing on his head, and when none of these works, he grabs Jon by the cheeks and shakes him until he wakes up.
13	-->'''Jon:''' STOP!\
14	'''Garfield:''' Good morning, sunshine! And welcome to another fun-filled day with your favorite pet!\
15	'''Jon:''' I supposed you want breakfast.\

17	'''Jon:''' [[SarcasmMode I'm so happy to own a cat.]]
18	* This dialogue at the beginning:
19	-->'''Jon:''' What would you like for breakfast, Garfield?\
20	'''Garfield:''' Oh, a cup of coffee, Danish, morning paper.\
21	'''Jon:''' OK, one bowl of catfood coming right up.\
22	'''Garfield:''' Nobody listens anymore.

24	* Quite a few bits were taken directly from the early strips. For example, when Jon hears a loud banging...
25	-->'''Jon:''' Uh oh, Garfield wants in.\
26	''(Jon begins to walk, then runs, and reaches the door just as it comes crashing off its hinges onto him, with Garfield on the other side)''\

33	* Garfield's reaction to finding out they're going camping:
34	--> '''Garfield:''' Don't get me wrong, camping isn't all that bad. Aside from the inconvenience, dampness, filth, second rate food, insects and cold nights, it's kind of fun.

82	* Doc Boy going from being initially reluctant to pray over Christmas Eve dinner (to where Grandma had to hit him over the head with a wooden spoon) to - after the family gets ready to grab their food thinking he was finished - delivering such a long-winded 2nd half of his prayer that Grandma had to hit him over the head with a wooden spoon again to get him to shut up ("Thanks, Lord.

This involves him failing to put it out overnight to thaw, not bothering to make stuffing, misreading the direction to "Rub skin with butter" by rubbing butter on ''[[LiteralMinded his own skin]]'', and [[OvenLogic setting the oven on 500 degrees rather than the requested 325 degrees]].
89	* Jon driving out of control and repeatedly bumping into the sidewalk, due to Garfield panicking that they're going to the vet.
90	* While at the vet, [[OnlySaneWoman Liz]] instructs Jon about how Garfield must go on a diet and how she will ''not'' go out on a date with him. To this, Garfield starts yelling about what a quack she is along with protests of "Water is for birdbaths" and "Fiber is for sweaters" while Jon decides to [[{{Manchild}} hold his breath until she says yes.]] After he finally passes out, she then relents to come over for Thanksgiving dinner.

93	* When Jon's grandma comes over to help Jon getting Thanksgiving dinner ready, she pulls out a ''chainsaw'' and somehow cuts through a frozen turkey to make cutlets. The noise does not go unnoticed by Jon or Liz and Jon tries to cover up the noise by claiming it's the dishwasher.
