- Kid Mouse: Let me go in and get some food, ma! I can do it!
- Mother Mouse: No Riff, there might be a cat in this house.
- Riff: Haha, cat? Bring'em on! I'll pulverate him! I'll jump rope wit' his whiskers!
- Riff's Mother: Listen to your mother! Wait out here while I get dinner.
- Riff: If there's a cat, call me and I'll mop up the place up wit' him!
- Garfield: Time for my 3:27 cookie break.
- Riff's Mother: A cat!
- Garfield: Hope there's some ginger snaps left. This one feels a little stale, I'll leave it for Odie. Mmmmm, we're talkin' cookie here! Wait, I don't want the rest of 'em to get stale.
- Riff's Mother: *Help!*
- Riff: Something's wrong! Ma needs me!
- Garfield: *Humming.*
- Riff: Ma...? *Gasp*
- Garfield: Boy, can I make a sandwich!
- Riff: MA!
- Garfield: This sandwich was such a work of art, I should have signed it.
- Riff: Don't worry, ma! I'll save ya! [Riff runs up to Garfield's tail and bites down on it.]
- Garfield: YeeeaOOOWWW!
- Riff: You are in big trouble, cat! You put my mudder in a sandwich!
- Garfield: Your "mudder" is tuna salad?
- Riff: Well you got her here somewhere! Where is she!?
- Garfield: What would I want with a mouse?
- Riff: Cats eats mice!
- Garfield: Eats mice? Fat. Why would anyone want to "eats" mice when there's lasagna in the world?
- Riff: It ain't gonna work, cat! You've got my mudder and I ain't leavin' till I find her!
- Garfield: *And so, Power Pig dismantles Margarine Man's butter incinerator!*. What? You mean you don't read your comic books out loud? *"Beware, Evil-Doer! Your nefarious scheme will not work!"* *"You will not stop me, Power Pig!"* Gosh, what clever villain dialogue. *"Time to unmask you, Margarine Man"* *And with that, Power Pig rips off his mask and...*
- Riff: Where's my ma!?
- Garfield: Hey! Come back with that piece of my comic book! I have to know who Margarine Man is!
- Riff: You tell me where my ma is, and I'll tell you who Margarine Man is!
- Garfield: Why can't I get him to understand?
- Garfield: Okay, a nap! He can't bother me when I'm asleep! [He settles down.] I don't know where you're mother is, mouse... I don't know where she is... I don't know...
- Voice: Where is the mouse, Garfield!?
- Garfield: I don't know where the mouse is.
- Voice: Where is the mouse, Garfield!?
- Garfield: [Copying the voice.] I just told you, I don't know where the mouse is!
- Voice: Where is the mouse, Garfield!?
- Garfield: Listen to me! I don't know where the mouse is!
- [The voices continue to repeat "Where is the mouse, Garfield?"]
- Garfield: I don't know where the mouse is! Why won't you listen to me?
- Voices: Where is the mouse!? Where is the mouse!? Where is the mouse!? Where is the mouse!?
- Garfield: I don't know! I don't- Get another song! Do some Christmas carols! Something! I don't know where the mouse is!
- Riff: Now will you tell me where my ma is?
- Garfield: Read my lips as if they moved: I do not know where your mama is!
- Riff: Okay, you are asking for it! I'm gonna get "Max" to help me.
- Garfield: I'm beginning to understand why cats eat mice. It's gotta be better than listening to them.
- Riff: So, what do ya say? Will ya do it, Max? Will ya help me find my mudda?
- Max: I will do it. I will find your mother. You have my word.
- Garfield: I guess that mouse finally found his mother. *Yawn*
- Max: Cat!
- Garfield: You "cat-ted"
- Max: Where is the mouse?
- Garfield: Where we go again, folks. I don't know where she is!
- Max: You lie. Now will you tell me where the mouse is, or do I have to get rough?
- Garfield: That wasn't rough!? I don't wanna stick around and see what "rough" is!
- Max: You cannot escape.
- Garfield: I don't know where your mouse is! I don't eat mice! I don't even like mice! I mean for food! I-I like 'em as friends! Can't we be friends?
- Max: This is the end of you, cat.
- Garfield: Wait, before I go... A last cookie? Just my luck, the stale one.
- Riff: MA!
- Garfield: Who?
- Riff's Mother: Riff!
- Garfield: Is this what you were looking for?
- Riff: Ma! Where ya been!?
- Riff's Mother: I was looking around for food, and I got trapped in the cookie jar!
- Garfield: Food, huh? Here. We have plenty. We have to with me around.
- Riff: Cat, guess I owe you an apology.
- Max: *Clears throat* It would appear I do also. We were... Dummies.
- Garfield: Hey, if folks didn't do dumb things, we wouldn't have plots for cartoons. See ya around.
- Garfield: I shoulda been rougher on him. But I'm just so glad it's all over.
- Jon Arbuckle: Garfield, where is the mouse?
- Garfield: THE MOUSE!? I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE MOUSE IS! STOP ASKIN' ME! I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE MOUSE IS! I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE MOUSE! YAAAAAHH!!!!!!!!
- Jon Arbuckle: It's part of my new computer and-... I don't know. I don't ask. I just work here.
