Flat Tires

Jerry goes home unfazed by the events that took place. He tells his friends about the lunatick Garfield and how he hopes he never gets out of prison. A couple of months pass and Garfield finally gets out of prison.

Garfield, when he arrives home, puts on his signature dark trench coat, and tells Jerry that he is not going to stop until he beats him in the championship game. Determined, he goes back to his house for training. Instead of training, Jerry goes out partying with his friends and doesn’t care about training.

Garfield on the other hand uses Jerry taunting to motivate him. His goal is to prove everybody who said he was too old wrong, and to win another championship. After long countless hours of work, Garfield finally decides to go out to eat. In the middle of dinner at his favorite restaurant, Garfield sees Jerry. He tries to avoid Jerry but he starts taunting Garfield and showing off his championship ring.

Garfield decides that enough is enough and decides to get in his car and drive away without eating. He is driving home still very angry about the events that just occurred. He starts speeding down the highway, then he loses control of his car, and spins out crashing into a nearby tree. He gets out of the car and starts limping to the highway, trying to hitch-hike back to his house.

There are no cars in sight, so he starts walking up the highway, in the direction of his house. Garfield then see’s Jerry driving up the road. He doesn’t feel good about it, but he knows this may be his only chance to get home, so he sticks his thumb out, trying to hide his face. Jerry’s see’s who it is and pulls his car over, and Garfield gets in. Jerry is laughing at Garfield, and making fun of his busted car, which makes Garfield almost get out of the car.

Garfield asks Jerry why he hates him so much and he decides to open up to him. Jerry says that it is his fault his dad never won a championship. Jerry says how sorry he is that he was taking it out on Garfield and how he will treat him with more respect.
