9 scenes
Nani
[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?

Read the note.

Nani
[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…

[sarcastically]

Wow, that must be so stressful for you. How 'bout you just leave me alone to die?!

Nani
[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.

That's not how pouting works.

Nani

Lilo, open the door!

[turning up the volume]

I can't hear you. It's really weird.

Nani
[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.

Nani

Okay. [closes the door]

[off-screen]

Hey! Don't touch that! That's mine!

Nani
[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]

Nani, we both know this didn't go well today. I can see you're trying, but you're too smart for me to beat around the bush here. I know it hasn't been that long since your parents passed away, but my job is to make sure that Lilo is in a stable environment. And I can't say that in good conscience right now. Listen, I know this is a lot. You're practically a kid yourself. Look, you seem like a goal-oriented person. We have a new director coming into town next week. And I would really, really love to tell him that you girls have turned the corner. So why don't we come up with some goals to achieve by then?

Nani

Yeah, yeah.

All right, here. Three things. First, I want this house cleaned, including laundry and a fully stocked fridge.

Nani

Perfect.

Second, pay all those bills I saw in the kitchen.

Nani

Yes.

And third, file for health insurance for you and Lilo.

Nani

Got it.

Now if you do those three things by Friday, I might be able to give you some more time.

[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.

Nani
[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]

AAAH! Let go of me!

Nani

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?!

Because you weren't THERE!

Nani

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?!

[storms upstairs to her room]

Stop pretending you're my mom!

Nani

Oh, at least I don't tell the social worker that I like jumping out of windows!

Well, it's better than listenin' to you!

Nani

GO TO YOUR ROOM!

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.

Nani
[clenches through her teeth]

Yeah. Not today, she's not.

Meeting didn't go well? I never liked that government lady anyway. Why is she always so smiley? Gives me the creeps.

Nani

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.

Nani

Will you stop with this?

That school is the best school in the whole world for that bionic magnets.

Nani

Bion... Marine biology.

Marine biology. And they already let you in once, and they wanted to give you for full ride.

Nani

Yeah, I know. But Tūtū, there's no way. Lilo needs me here.

You ever asked Lilo what she wants?

Nani

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?

Nani

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--

[interrupts]

Well said, David.

Nani

Well...

David

So, like... when are you gonna go surfing?

Nani

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...

[drives away in her dune buggy]

No, no! No, David, you've said enough.

[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]

Nani

Oh, my God. Control him!

I'm trying. [yanks 626 back inside the seat, and onto her lap as she laughs]

Nani

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?!

That's his name! Stitch! [626, now named Stitch, smiles]

Nani
[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]

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.

[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.

I'm giving him a bath right now.

Nani
[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?

Well, I wished for him, and it came true.

Nani

We said "one day." That was our deal.

[points to the drawing of their 'ohana on the fridge]

What's that say, on the refrigerator?

Nani

We are not keeping this thing!

"'Ohana" means "family." Family means nobody gets left behind.

Nani

Or forgotten. [Stitch opens the freezer door and hits her in the face]

David
[Nani and David arrive at the wreckage of the house]

Lilo?

Nani

Lilo?! Lilo?!

David

They're not here.

Nani

I'm gonna check the back.

[showing up]

What happened?! Where's Lilo?!

Nani

I don't know. She's not here.

[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?

Agent Wendell Pleakley from the United Galactic Federation. I'm a fellow government worker.

What are you doing here?!

Nani

Yeah, where is my sister?!

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.

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.

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.

[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]
