Grand Councilwoman
[Tuesday; Galactic Council Emergency Session on planet Turo in the Kweltikwan Galaxy] [first lines]

We have apprehended a dangerous threat in one of our very own labs. [the alien council gasps in horror] Quiet! We believe that this… this… monstrosity… is the product of illegal genetic experimentation.

Robot
[Experiment 626, a blue koala-like alien with four arms, two antennas on his head, three spikes on his back, and wearing a red jumpsuit, reveals himself in the canister as he wakes up]

What deranged lunatic would create something like this?

Jumba
[brought in by two intergalactic soldiers, handcuffed; clears throat]

I prefer "deranged genius," but thank you for the introduction.

Grand Councilwoman

Dr. Jumba Jookiba, you were tasked with safely studying biological threats, not creating them.

Jumba

A threat? Experiment 626 is our Federation's most sophisticated weapon. 626 is unstoppable… [626 is seen breaking out of the canister with incredible strength] indestructible… [we then see 626 getting zap by laser ...more like tickling him since he is fireproof and bulletproof] smarter than 100 super computers!

626
[now seen playing a game of chess with him]

Tooba. (translation: "Checkmate.")

Jumba
[frustrated, while knocking away the chess pieces]

Gah, I don't wanna play anymore!'

Alien Council Members

It's an atrocity! Destroy it! I can't even look at him! He should be exiled.

Grand Councilwoman

Silence! He did not ask to be created. Perhaps, if he is so intelligent, he has the capacity to reason. [a microphone appears in the canister before 626] Experiment 626, show us that there is something inside you that is good.

626
[climbs down, walks up to the microphone like a shy child and clears his throat, everyone waits, Jumba glances at his creation and the court anxiously...after a moment of silence; speaks into the microphone]

Meega nala kweesta! (translation: "I want to destroy!") [The whole alien council gasps in shock as he cackles wickedly]

Grand Councilwoman

So naughty!

Robot
[barfing out bolts and screws]

Throwing up. Throwing up.

Jumba
[embarrassed]

I did not teach him that.

Grand Councilwoman

You have made our decision easy. He is clearly the flawed product of a deranged mind. Dr. Jookiba, your lab will be destroyed.

Jumba
[shrugs; not caring]

Okay, just leave me 626.

Grand Councilwoman

And 626 exiled.

Jumba
[disappointed]

Oh, come on!

Grand Councilwoman

Bailiff!

Jumba
[shocked]

Wait! No, no, no, no! You can't do that! [The experiment's canister get taken away downward, much to his horror] NOOOOO!!!

Cell Manager
[626 is then locked up in a cell, and gets a tracking collar fastened around his neck with guns pointing at him, controlled by the hammerhead shark-like alien dressed in suit and helmet]

Don't get any ideas. These guns are locked onto your genetic signature. They're not gonna shoot anyone but you. [chuckles; 626 struggles and the guns move; He stops and thinks, looks at the two guns and they move; He gets an idea by drooling his spit and the guns aim but he slurps it back up before he does it again] Knock it off! Federation strictly forbids to be gross. Don't make me say-- [626 spits saliva at the Manager's face mask and the guns aim at him, much to his notice] Uh-oh. AHH! [removes his mask helmet and runs for it to save himself]

Jumba
[appearing while being escorted by two Federation soldiers]

Oh, look what a pickle we've got here. [chuckles] If only there were a brilliant genius around to help you catch that monster.

Grand Councilwoman
[enraged]

You! You're the reason we're in this mess!

Jumba

And I can get you out, if you release me and give me back my lab.

Grand Councilwoman

Nonsense, we'll simply vaporize the planet. Captain?

Captain/Pink Alien Girl
[excitedly]

Armed and ready, Councilwoman.

Pleakley
[appearing; dressed up as a cowboy]

Hold it! Hold everything! Excuse me, pardon me. You can't destroy the planet!

Captain/Pink Alien Girl
[disappointed]

Aw, man!

Grand Councilwoman

Uh, who is this?

Pleakley

Agent Pleakley, Earth Expert, at your service. [tips his hat] Howdy.

Grand Councilwoman

Earth expert?

Pleakley

I'm an expert of all planets, flora, fauna and fashion.

Jumba
[sarcastically]

Yeah, his outfit screams "expert".

Pleakley

Oh, yeah. I'm researching Earth species that's half cow and half boy. It's very fascinating.

Grand Councilwoman

Yes, marvelous. What's your point?

Pleakley

Oh, uh, Earth is a protected wildlife preserve. Yeah. We've been using it to rebuild the mosquito population.

Grand Councilwoman
[sighs]

Crikey. Very well, Dr. Jookiba, you will travel to Earth where you will capture the escaped lab experiment known as 626. [Jumba smirks; to Pleakley] Agent Pleakley, you will be going with him. You are deputized to ensure he follows Federation rules.

Jumba
[disbelieved]

What?! I don't need a babysitter--

Grand Councilwoman

This is all very dangerous and it's quite frankly, you'll die. Do you accept? [Pleakley looks disbelieved and took off his hat]

Pleakley
[excitedly]

With every heart in my body, Of course I accept! I'm going to Earth!

Grand Councilwoman

Do not let the Earthlings discover your mission, or I will be forced to intervene.

Pleakley

This is a dream vacay. I have so much packing to do!

Jumba

Well, well, well, 626. What hideous, pathetic planet is caught in your crosshairs?

Grand Councilwoman

Oh, brilliant. Is it too late to vaporized the planet?

Captain/Pink Alien Girl
[excitedly]

Finger's always on the trigger, ma'am!

Grand Councilwoman

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.

Nani
[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.

Grand Councilwoman
[The Grand Councilwoman calls Jumba and Pleakley, frustrated with Jumba's failures of catching Stitch as well as alerting the humans about their existence]

We just intercepted a call from human authorities. Do you realize what you have done?

Pleakley
[innocently]

Nope.

Grand Councilwoman

Play the recording. And take off that ridiculous hat. [Pleakley obliges as he takes off the shower cap]

Cobra Bubbles
[on recording]

Code 51. We found something. Confirm.

Grand Councilwoman

And not only that you alerted the humans about our existence, but you still haven't captured 626!

Jumba

Grand Councilwoman, will all due respect, I'm not sure you know what's going on with 626. We have found, um… a glitch… Which is making it a little harder to get him off this planet. But don't worry, I'm sure I can figure out--

Grand Councilwoman

A glitch? You're a glitch, you buffoon. I have had enough, Dr. Jookiba. You have exhausted my patience! Consider our deal terminated!

Jumba
[shocked]

WHAT?!

Grand Councilwoman

No tantrums, Agent Pleakley is hereby deputize to detain you under Federation orders and escort you back to Turo immediately. [beats] Uh, hello?

Pleakley

Now? Right now?

Grand Councilwoman

No, later. What do you think?

Jumba

YOU CANNOT DO THIS TO MY WORK!!!

Grand Councilwoman

That is not a debate. A Federation detail is on its way to clean up your mess. [hangs up]

Pleakley
[after getting out of the bathtub, while putting on his bathrobe]

Did she hang up? Jumba?

Nani
[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.

Pleakley

Don't worry. They're just scanning for deadly parasites.

Grand Councilwoman

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!

Grand Councilwoman

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.

Jumba
[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.

Grand Councilwoman

As for 626--

Stitch
[interrupting]

Stitch.

Grand Councilwoman
[confused]

What?

Stitch

My name Stitch.

Grand Councilwoman

Stitch, then.... will be--

Stitch

Can Stitch say goodbye?

Grand Councilwoman
[surprised and hesitantly]

Yes.

Stitch

Thank you. [walks over to Lilo]

Lilo

Come here, Stitch. [hugs Stitch] We're gonna to miss you.

Grand Councilwoman
[surprised]

Who are these people?

Stitch

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.

Pleakley

Grand Councilwoman? Can we leave Stitch with his new family?

Grand Councilwoman

Absolutely not. The Council would require supervision, and who would possibly want to stay on this dilapidated mosquito farm?

Pleakley
[excitedly]

Oh, oh! Me! Me! ME!

Grand Councilwoman

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?

Pleakley

Oh! Oh! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah! He's CIA. He's very good at keeping secrets.

Grand Councilwoman

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.

Grand Councilwoman
[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]
