At the end of Garfield's fantasy, he is horrified that the small Clarion alien intends to have him eaten. Why doesn't Garfield just eat him?
Eat, Garfield, Eat! Jon: Eat, Garfield, Eat. Eat with all your might. Eat that pasta. Eat it fasta till it's outta sight. (Till it's outta sight.) Munch, Garfield, munch. Come on, let's do lunch. Make your belly mozzarelli. Crunch, crunch, crunch. (Crunch, crunch, crunch.) Cheese, salami, ham and Swiss, whole-wheat, rye, and white. Slices tomatoes, tons of mayo. Love at first bite. Garfield, you're an awesome eater. Yes, you are the top. Butter betters, bitter batter. You don't have to stop. Double-stack it. You can hack it. Yum, Garfield, yum. Don't you miss a crumb. Add a dinner. You're the winner. Don't you pause or you'll get thinner. More, Garfield, more! Till you can't fit through the door! EAT, GARFIELD, EAT!! CHOW, CHOW, CHOW!!!
Jon: How could anyone eat a jumbo mushroom, pineapple, sausage, pepper, olive, onion, meatball, Canadian bacon and pimento pizza all by himself? Garfield: Plus, I usually prefer thick crust.
Jon: I did it. And I didn't forget anything! Garfield: You forgot the anchovies.
Garfield: I'm going on a strict diet for twenty pounds. Or...twenty minutes. Whichever comes first.
Newscaster: We have a report of a giant orange cat that seems to be devouring things left and right. For an on-the-spot report, we cut now to our mobile unit. [Another story is handed to him] What's that? ...We have a report: he just ate the mobile unit! I'm leaving town, folks! [Runs away]
