Quotes 

• Grandma : [as she finishes sawing the turkey Jon failed to cook earlier]  Ever had Grandma's famous turkey croquettes, Garfield? *Nothin'* finer.

  Garfield : Go, Grandma, go!

  Grandma : [as she rapidly makes the turkey croquettes before Garfield]  There now, we'll just put together a little white sauce. A bit o'parsley, drops o'lemon juice, and grated onion. Now add all turkey to white sauce, make some breadin', roll our mixture in the breadin', and deep fat fry!

  Grandma : [chanting]  Deep fat fry, deep fat fry, music to my ears!

• Grandma : How's my favorite kitty cat today?

  Garfield : Better now that you're here, Grandma.

  Grandma : Aw, you're looking a little thin. Isn't that grandson of mine feedin' you?

  Garfield : Grandma, I love you, don't ever leave us.

• Grandma : Have you ever seen my split-second cranberry sauce?

  [she covers Garfield's eyes as she dumps a whole can of cranberry sauce into a bowl, then uncovers Garfield's eyes] 

  Grandma : Too late, ya blinked, Garfield.

  [laughs] 

  Grandma : And now, for the piece de resistance - pumpkin pie!

  Garfield : Skip the piece o'resistance, just gimmie a piece o'pie!

• Grandma : [after arriving to cook Thanksgiving dinner after Jon's failed attempts]  Have cooking utensils, will travel.

  [laughs, then heads to the kitchen to shoo Jon away so she can cook Thanksgiving dinner herself] 

  Grandma : Well, what're you standin' there for, boy? Get in there and spark your young lady friend, and *leave* the kitchen to Grandma. Shoo, *shoo*!

  [returns to the kitchen] 

  Grandma : Now, where's the patient?

• Grandma : How about some sweet potatoes?

  [Garfield blows a raspberry] 

  Grandma : Oh now, come on, Garfield! You've never had Grandma's sweet potatoes.

  Garfield : This is true.

  Grandma : A cup of butter, a cup of brown sugar, and some marshmallows!

  Garfield : Starting to like 'em already!

• Grandma : Now, I'll just slip quietly out the door, Garfield. You tell that young lady of his that she couldn't find a better man than Jon, and she'd better not blow it, or she'll have to answer to me. Oh, and Garfield - eat a piece of pie for me.

  [leaves] 

  Garfield : [sighs as Grandma starts up her motorcycle and drives away]  They just don't make 'em like that anymore.
