Quotes 

• Dr. Liz Wilson : The good news is your cat is as healthy as a horse.

  Garfield : Hear that, Jon? The woman is a great physician, a specialist!

  Dr. Liz Wilson : The bad news is he's also big as a horse. He'll have to go on a diet.

  Garfield : Quack, she's a quack! Get me outta here!

• Dr. Liz Wilson : So Garfield, how's the diet? I see you're still the size of an aircraft carrier.

  [laughs briefly] 

  Dr. Liz Wilson : Well, as long as I'm here I may as well check you for vitamin deficiencies; I don't want you to become anemic.

  Garfield : Don't forget beri-beri, rickets, and scurvy, too, Doc.

• Jon Arbuckle : Interestingly enough, it was Abraham Lincoln who officially proclaimed the last Thursday of November as Thanksgiving in 1863, you see. Now get this: in Canada, they celebrate Thanksgiving, *too*, but it's *not* on the fourth Thursday of November. They celebrate it on the second Monday of October. Isn't that wild?

  Dr. Liz Wilson : [yawning]  I have no idea.

• Dr. Liz Wilson : That was a *wonderful* meal. Thanks for inviting me, Jon.

  Jon Arbuckle : Same time next year?

  Dr. Liz Wilson : Mm-hmm, that'd be nice. I'll be here before the meal, but after the history lesson.

• Dr. Liz Wilson : [sniffs]  Mmm, something smells.

  Jon Arbuckle : Oh, that's just a little Thanksgiving dinner I whipped up.

  Dr. Liz Wilson : I was afraid of that.

• Dr. Liz Wilson : O-kay. I'll go out with you.

  Jon Arbuckle : Really?

  Dr. Liz Wilson : I can't stand to see a dumb animal suffer.

  Jon Arbuckle : Great! Uh, oh, uh, uh, uh, how about tomorrow, at my place? I'll fix a big Thanksgiving dinner; you're gonna love it!

  Dr. Liz Wilson : Well, at least we won't be seen in public together.

  Jon Arbuckle : And then this weekend, we'll...

  Dr. Liz Wilson : [glares]  Don't push it, buster!

  Jon Arbuckle : [sheepishly]  Okay.

  [leaves the room] 

  Dr. Liz Wilson : Mr. Arbuckle!

  Jon Arbuckle : [reappearing]  Yes?

  Dr. Liz Wilson : [pointing to Garfield]  You forgot your cat.

  Jon Arbuckle : My cat? Oh, my cat!
