Lilo Pelekai [seeing Stitch's ship falling from the night sky through the window, mistaking it for a shooting star]
Oh, my gosh. I have to make a wish.

Lilo Pelekai You've got to stop causing problems, Stitch.
Lilo Pelekai [while grabbing a lei and putting on around Stitch's neck]
Now, be, good! Be good for one second.

Guest
[Lilo is relaxing at a hotel's pool.]
Are you supposed to be here?
Lilo I'm in town for the convention.
Lilo [Lilo then walks across a log, then sees two people wearing friendship bracelets and decides to make one her own.]
Cool. [She frees a bunch of chickens] Go, go! Be free! Live your lives!
Chicken Owner
No, no, no! No. Lilo. Not again.
Lilo They deserve to be free!
Chicken Owner
Lilo! I'm gonna have to talk to Nani about this!
Lilo [checks her watch, realizing that she's late for hula class, screams]
Sorry! Sorry, sorry, sorry!
Kumu
[as Lilo finally shows up late for hula class]
Lilo, thank goodness. I thought you were gonna be on time today.
Lilo I had to get a sandwich for Pudge.
Kumu
Is Pudge a friend in need?
Lilo He's a fish. I forgot to tell you that.
Kumu
So, you're late because you fed a sandwich to a fish?
Lilo Yeah. Pudge controls the weather.
[At the Pelekai house… Lilo sets up a record player, listening to Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel", and lies down on the floor after getting expelled from hula class for pushing Mertle Edmonds off the stage when Nani failed to show up to support her] [pulls up at the house in her pickup truck and finds the front door locked]
Lilo? Can you please open the door?
Lilo Read the note.
[sees the note taped to the door reading: "Go away!!!"; groans and takes it off the door]
I'm sorry I missed your performance, okay? Papa's truck died and…
Lilo [sarcastically]
Wow, that must be so stressful for you. How 'bout you just leave me alone to die?!
[sees Mrs. Kekoa, the social worker, pulling up in her car]
No, no, no. Not now, not now. The social worker is here! You can pout later, Lilo.
Lilo That's not how pouting works.
Lilo, open the door!
Lilo [turning up the volume]
I can't hear you. It's really weird.
[shoulders the back door open and enters the house]
There we go! Um… Actually, would you mind waiting here for just a second?
Yes, of course.
Okay. [closes the door]
Lilo [off-screen]
Hey! Don't touch that! That's mine!
[off-screen]
No, I don't wanna hear it. I'm turning it off right now.
[The record player makes scratching sounds and the music stops]
[After Mrs. Kekoa informs Nani that she has a week to get things organized by Friday] [waving while driving away]
Don't forget the insurance.
[smiles; waving goodbye to Mrs. Kekoa]
Yeah, yeah. You got it. [mumbling under her breath while turning towards Lilo as she starts to charge towards her] You're gonna need the health insurance for when I KILL YOU! [Lilo screams in terror and runs into the house to the other door, realizing she's in a lot of trouble; takes a shortcut, scaring her and chases her down the hallway] Oh, yeah! We took out the smoke alarm batteries. I'll show you "can't breathe." COME HERE! [grabs her by the shirt]
Lilo AAAH! Let go of me!
No. [Lilo grabs a pillow off the couch and hits her in the face with it, leaving her stunned] Ow. Okay. No, no, no, no, no, no. [wraps her around in a blanket like a burrito, before she tries to escape again; berating] Why didn't you wait at hula?!
Lilo Because you weren't THERE!
Do you want them to split us up?! Because that's what's gonna happen if we don't get it together! [Lilo licks her arm to free herself] Hey! Did you just lick me?!
Lilo [storms upstairs to her room]
Stop pretending you're my mom!
Oh, at least I don't tell the social worker that I like jumping out of windows!
Lilo Well, it's better than listenin' to you!
GO TO YOUR ROOM!
Lilo I'M ALREADY IN MY ROOM! [slams her door closed]
[Nani presses a pillow into her face, screaming in anger as Lilo buries her face onto her bed, screaming in irritation; Outside, Tūtū's goat, Albert bleats] [sprays water on a goat with a water hose]
Hey! Albert!
[Nani exits the house, taking out the trash, Tūtū drives her dune buggy down the hill to see her]
There she is, Miss Aloha.
Meeting didn't go well? I never liked that government lady anyway. Why is she always so smiley? Gives me the creeps.
Yeah, well, our future is in her hands.
Ah, ah. None of that. Your future is in your hands. And you're gonna have a very bright future 'cause of that akamai brain of yours. [Nani slurps her Capri Sun and reveals her university acceptance letter she finds in the trash bin] What? Your acceptance letter to your dream school magically taken out of your trash and appearing in your bag at your place of work? Ooh, that's a sign, girl.
Will you stop with this?
That school is the best school in the whole world for that bionic magnets.
Bion... Marine biology.
Marine biology. And they already let you in once, and they wanted to give you for full ride.
Yeah, I know. But Tūtū, there's no way. Lilo needs me here.
You ever asked Lilo what she wants?
She's six, so no.
David
[enters with his surfing board]
Sorry, Tūtū. [sees Nani] Had to catch a few extra ones. The swell was... Hey, Nani! What are you doing here?
I live here. We're neighbors.
David
[chuckles]
Yeah. Yeah, that's... that's good. Uh... The waves were crazy today. You know, I was like, "Nani should be here.", 'cause you're always, like, and I miss shredding you. I mean, I miss... I miss seeing you shred waves, so... Yeah. I've always loved watching you. Not to say that--
Well...
David
So, like... when are you gonna go surfing?
Maybe when Lilo turns 18. Enjoy the surf. [turns to go back inside]
Bebeh. Now, make up with your sister, yeah? You need anything, you just ask, okay? We're not just neighbors, you know. We're 'ohana. [Nani heads inside the house]
David
Yeah, I mean, if you...
Lilo [Lilo is at the animal shelter. Ringing the bell.]
Can I pet the dogs again? Hi, AJ.
AJ
Okay, but you know you can't feed the dogs candy again, right?
AJ
[Lilo sighs and takes out some candy from her pocket.]
Lilo.
Lilo [Lilo takes out more candy and places it on the counter.]
But it makes them happy.
AJ
It makes them have diarrhea.
626
Jumba?
626
[disguised as a dog]
Hiiiii...
Lilo [amazed]
Whoa....
AJ
A dog, I think. [struggles to take back 626]
Looks like some kind of baby bear that come out of the trash.
Lilo I like him. Come here, boy.
AJ
[626 hears Lilo calling him.]
Yeah, let's put this one back, Lilo. Come here.
Sweetie.
AJ
You know, we do have better dogs. Like, way better.
Lilo Not better than him. He can talk. Say, "aloha."
626
Alo--
Dogs no can talk.
AJ
Dogs can't talk, Lilo.
626
Ruff. Ruff. Ruff.
Lilo [On the road, 626 pokes his head out of the back window of Nani's truck with his mouth open and his tongue waggling while Lilo giggles]
Get down! Get down from there! [tries pulling 626 back inside the truck]
Oh, my God. Control him!
Lilo I'm trying. [yanks 626 back inside the seat, and onto her lap as she laughs]
Uh, no. [626 takes out a disc from the radio, and flings it away into another car] Did you just…? [The car swerves out of control as 626 claps, then laughs, and honks the horn] No. No. Stop. [626 scratches the seat; irritated] Did he just-- Great, Lilo! Now I have to stitch it up. [Lilo screams in realization, startling her and 626] Whoa! What, what, what, what?!
Lilo That's his name! Stitch! [626, now named Stitch, smiles]
[sighs]
Lilo, you can't just do that, okay? Seriously. I thought I almost hit something. [They see Jumba dragging Pleakley (in human disguises) across the road and scream for impact as Nani presses the brakes, screeching their truck to a stop]
Lilo [while at the Lū'au; seeing that Stitch is gone]
Stitch? Oh, Stitch? [finds him at the drink bar] There you are. We have to be at the table. Stitch.
[aiming a drink sprayer at Lilo, who lift her hands in the air]
Cassa! (translation: "Stick 'em up!")
Lilo No. Stitch, put… it… down.
Pessa? (translation: "This thing?")
Lilo Yes.
Naaga. Bala meega? (translation: "Negative. Are you holding it?")
Lilo You.
No, no, no. [speaks alien language, then mimics a machine gun firing] And then, uh… The… [imitates screaming]
Lilo No.
Huh?
Lilo I'm going to give you on a count of three, Stitch.
Ooh, yeah. [poses like a cowboy in a showdown with the drink sprayer ready]
Lilo 1… [Stitch, having no time for this, immediately sprays her with water, then wags his eyebrows]
Oh, brilliant. Is it too late to vaporized the planet?
Captain/Pink Alien Girl
[excitedly]
Finger's always on the trigger, ma'am!
No, no, I'm joking. What an adorable little psychopath.
Lilo [At the Pelekai house… Lilo, Stitch and Nani return home after Nani got fired from her job when Stitch accidentally caused a table on the fire and blames both him and Lilo for horsing around as rain starts pouring down]
You know, you didn't even like that job.
[turns to her, not in the mood]
I don't wanna hear it. [unlocks the front door and they enter the house] And I (just) cleaned the house before work, so please don't make a mess. [Stitch looks around the house, oohing and ahhing, and shakes the water off his body] Lilo, he's getting water everywhere.
Lilo I'm giving him a bath right now.
[as Stitch causes a little chaos in the kitchen]
We're taking him back, first thing tomorrow morning! [grabs hold of him as he grabs onto the refrigerator] Why are you so strong?
Lilo Well, I wished for him, and it came true.
We said "one day." That was our deal.
Lilo [points to the drawing of their 'ohana on the fridge]
What's that say, on the refrigerator?
We are not keeping this thing!
Lilo "'Ohana" means "family." Family means nobody gets left behind.
Or forgotten. [Stitch opens the freezer door and hits her in the face]
Lilo [Lilo finds Stitch back at the animal rescue center after finding out he left last night, sulking in his cage]
I thought I lost you.
Stitch break family.
Lilo It was an accident, like a mess up.
But Stitch is bad. [sadly walks out of the cage] Stitch is bad.
Lilo You're not bad. You just do bad things sometimes. "'Ohana" means "family." And sometimes, family isn't perfect. [picks him up and hugs him] But that doesn't mean they aren't good.
Who is Mai-mai and Pai-pai?
Lilo [bursting in, facing him]
That's Mama and Papa's room!
Oh! That makes a lot more sense. [blasts the door with his blaster and smirks evilly]
Lilo [threateningly]
Stop it, or else!
Or else what? [walks closer to her] What are you gonna do?
What's the plan, 626? Say you escaped the Federation. You think you're gonna just stay here with her? Live happily ever after on Earth? You're built to destroy 626, and you have! Look what's happened since you got here. Her family is falling apart. Let's just be honest. The only reason you picked her at that animal shelter was for your own protection.
Lilo Is that true, Stitch?
See, I don't think that's bad. I don't think anything you do is bad. I think it's genius. If you care about this little girl at all, you'll leave her here.
Lilo Stitch?
This is for the best.
Look, look, look, look! I had a pretty bad *Ohana* growing up. That's not an excuse. I just don't give it a little context.
Lilo [smirks; waves]
A hui hou, hairy potato. [activities Jumba's human camouflage device]
Okay, okay, okay. And I can't propose that sometimes we need second chances. And that's just when I-- Wait, no! [gets ejected, due to him turning into his human form, and is sent flying into the deep ocean below, screaming]
[The Grand Councilwoman and her intergalactic soldiers arrive to retrieve and take Stitch into custody after he saves Lilo from the drowning shipwreck and then later gets revived]
Stay behind me, Lilo. Get back. Get back.
Don't worry. They're just scanning for deadly parasites.
We're here to retrieve this dangerous experiment. Soldiers, take 626 into custody.
Lilo [protesting as Stitch gets handcuffed while Nani tries preventing her from interfering]
No! Hey! Leave him alone! Let him stay!
I'm afraid I can't allow that. This creature poses a threat to your species. We are sorry for what transpired here. Rest assured, those responsible will be brought to justice.
[gets lifted off the sea by the spaceship while being re-arrested, back in his original alien form; last words]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! How dare you treat a scientific genius like this! Hey, Grand Councilwoman, can you-- [gets clonked on the head] Ow! Oh! My precious brain.
As for 626--
My name Stitch.
Stitch, then.... will be--
Can Stitch say goodbye?
Thank you. [walks over to Lilo]
Lilo Come here, Stitch. [hugs Stitch] We're gonna to miss you.
This is my family. I found it all on my own. It's little a-and broken, but still good. [smiles at Lilo and Nani who smiles back] Yeah. Still good.
Grand Councilwoman? Can we leave Stitch with his new family?
Absolutely not. The Council would require supervision, and who would possibly want to stay on this dilapidated mosquito farm?
Ha! Ridiculous. I cannot risk the global panic that would ensue if this were to become public.
Cobra Bubbles
[stepping up]
What if it didn't?
Oh! Oh! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah! He's CIA. He's very good at keeping secrets.
Our reconnaissance said you were going to tell your superiors about this. How could I ever trust you to keep it a secret?
Cobra Bubbles
Your Highness...[stepping up to her and shakes her hand to seal the deal] you have my word.
[after studying his face for a moment and nods]
Hmmm. You all have shown me that there is good inside this creature. However, I cannot reverse the council's decision. Experiment 626 has been sentence to life in exile. [Everyone, even Stitch, felt sad at the fact that he might not be allowed to stay after all; until...] A sentence that would be henceforth served.... [smiles] here on Earth. [Everyone were overwhelmed with joy and Stitch's handcuffs falls off and he happily runs into Lilo's arms]
