13 scenes
[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.

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.

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]

So naughty!

Robot
[barfing out bolts and screws]

Throwing up. Throwing up.

Jumba
[embarrassed]

I did not teach him that.

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.

And 626 exiled.

Jumba
[disappointed]

Oh, come on!

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.

[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.

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

Captain/Pink Alien Girl
[excitedly]

Armed and ready, Councilwoman.

[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!

Uh, who is this?

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

Earth expert?

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

Jumba
[sarcastically]

Yeah, his outfit screams "expert".

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

Yes, marvelous. What's your point?

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

[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--

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

[excitedly]

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

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

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?

Stephanie Lum
[Jumba and Pleakley arrive on Earth and disguise themselves as humans in order to start their mission in hunting 626, when he crash-landed, terrorized a wedding party, and got run over by a local tour bus]

Aloha, I'm Stephanie Lum. Breaking news on a strange situation last night. A local tour bus ran over an unidentified wild animal who terrorized a wedding. The creature is recovering at the Nā Mea Ola Animal Rescue. More on that at 10:00, and hear from the wedding photographer…

Jumba
[whispering to Pleakley, believing that 626 is now at the animal rescue center]

Bingo.

[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 takes out more candy and places it on the counter.]

But it makes them happy.

AJ

It makes them have diarrhea.

Jumba
[Nearby, 626 peeks and exits the animal shelter.]

Nighty-night, 626.

626

Jumba?

Jumba
[lying on the bed while recovering from his injuries]

Why would he protect her like that?

[bathing in the tub]

You don't think they're kind of cute together?

Jumba

He's not a pet. He's an experiment and a dangerous one of that.

I just think he's a lot cuter than you think he is dangerous.

Jumba

He has sharp teeth, he has claws, I designed him to be dangerous.

Dangerously cute.

[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?

[innocently]

Nope.

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.

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--

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?!

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

Now? Right now?

No, later. What do you think?

Jumba

YOU CANNOT DO THIS TO MY WORK!!!

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

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

Did she hang up? Jumba?

Jumba
[trapping Pleakley in the janitor's closet, after the Grand Councilwoman cancels their deal for failing to catch Stitch]

It's time to do this my way.

Jumba

Who is Mai-mai and Pai-pai?

[bursting in, facing him]

That's Mama and Papa's room!

Jumba

Oh! That makes a lot more sense. [blasts the door with his blaster and smirks evilly]

[threateningly]

Stop it, or else!

Jumba

Or else what? [walks closer to her] What are you gonna do?

Jumba

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.

Is that true, Stitch?

Jumba

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.

Stitch?

Jumba

This is for the best.

Jumba
[to Lilo; frustrated about her caring for Stitch]

Why don't you just admit that your little friend is a dangerous, freakish monster?!

[as Lilo presses the correct button, freeing him]

Also cute and fluffy!

Jumba

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.

[smirks; waves]

A hui hou, hairy potato. [activities Jumba's human camouflage device]

Jumba

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.

[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.

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.

As for 626--

[interrupting]

Stitch.

[confused]

What?

My name Stitch.

Stitch, then.... will be--

Can Stitch say goodbye?

[surprised and hesitantly]

Yes.

Thank you. [walks over to Lilo]

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

[surprised]

Who are these people?

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?

[excitedly]

Oh, oh! Me! Me! ME!

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]
