Jon: I want you to know, you’re the most important thing in my life.
Garfield: Let me sleep, please.
Jon: Before I met you, my life had no meaning. I was incomplete.
Garfield: Oh, you still are, really.
Jon: I guess what I’m trying to say is ... Will you marry me?
Garfield: Eh? Marriage? Well, this is kind of sudden. There may be some legal issues1 here. Look, I like you, but not as a spouse2. Maybe as a servant, we could stay together, make it work.
Jon: (Pick up the photo) So what do you say ... Liz?
Garfield: Wait a second. Liz? Liz?
Jon: Garfield. Garfield: Liz is a girl. No, worse. She’s a girl vet3.
Jon: Turkey’s ready.
Garfield: Well, I think Jon has touched bottom4 now. Hmm, we need to put an end to this torture5.
Jon还没来得及求婚,却得知Liz要去伦敦,于是决定追随而去,给她惊喜……
Garfield: Oh, I thought she’d never leave.
Jon: Garfield, you ate the whole turkey?
Garfield: Well, yes.
Jon: What are you doing with this? Oh, never mind. She’s already off to ...
Garfield: Well, come on, cheer up. I saved you the wishbone6.
Jon: There’s nothing I can do.
Garfield: Sure there is. Return the ring and get your money back.
Jon: Wait a minute. I’ll go to London.
Garfield: Oh, you poor sap7. Jon: She’ll love it. She’ll be surprised.
Garfield: Please don’t do this.
Jon: She’ll be thrilled8.
Garfield: Tell me you’re not going to do this.
Jon: She’ll say yes.
