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: [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: 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?
Pleakley: This is a dream vacay. I have so much packing to do!

Jumba: [lying on the bed while recovering from his injuries] Why would he protect her like that?
Pleakley: [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.
Pleakley: 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.
Pleakley: 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]
Grand Councilwoman: 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?
Grand Councilwoman: We just intercepted a call from human authorities. Do you realize what you have done?

[Nani and David arrive at the wreckage of the house]
David: Lilo?
Nani: Lilo?! Lilo?!
David: They're not here.
Nani: I'm gonna check the back.
Tūtū: [showing up] What happened?! Where's Lilo?!
Nani: I don't know. She's not here.
Pleakley: [emerging from the broken wood] Actually, she's on the ship heading toward... [Nani, David and Tūtū scream at him; screams as well] Oh, my God! Okay, okay. [activates his camouflage device and turns into his human form] That was a really impressive throw. If we can all... No, come on. Not that again. I actually...
Cobra: [handcuffs him] Agent Cobra Bubbles, CIA.
Nani: Wait, what? CIA?
Pleakley: Agent Wendell Pleakley from the United Galactic Federation. I'm a fellow government worker.
Tūtū: What are you doing here?!
Nani: Yeah, where is my sister?!
Pleakley: Great news. She’s alive and well. Well, actually, I don't know if she's well. This only tells me the velocity of them moving away from the planet.
Cobra: Enough! I'm taking you out, and that's that. Let's go.
David: Lilo?

[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]
Nani: 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]
Nani: Stay behind me, Lilo. Get back. Get back.
Pleakley: Don't worry. They're just scanning for deadly parasites.
