Jon just makes a flight to
New York City , and he is relieved that he is taking avacation without Garfield (in actuality, Garfield is hiding inside one of his bags). Jon then notices that an attractivewoman (Roselyn) is sitting next to him, and because Jon is a tourist in New York, she offers to show him around the city. (A mysterious man sitting behind them monitors theirconversation ).
Just before the date, Jon is in hishotel room , and he opens his bag and Garfield jumps out. He then discovers that Garfield replaced all his toiletries with cannedlasagna (and acan opener ). He then orders Garfield to stay in the hotel while he is on his date. Jon then meets Roselyn, who takes him to an Italianrestaurant , and Garfield sneaks behind them.
While at the restaurant, Garfield overhears the mysterious man on the phone revealing that Roselyn is a pickpocket. Garfield thensabotage s Jon and Roselyn’sdinner and then threatens Roselyn. Jon takes her, runs out of the restaurant and hops a cab. They wind up at an art museum, and Garfield is hiding inside one of the pictures.
