Dialogue
edit- [In Jumba's cell after Experiment 626 escaped]
- Jumba: [chuckles] He got away?
- Grand Councilwoman: I'm sure this comes as no surprise to you.
- Jumba: I designed this creature for it to be unstoppable.
- Grand Councilwoman: Which is precisely why you must now bring him back.
- Jumba: What, me?
- Grand Councilwoman: And to reward you, we are willing to trade your freedom for his capture.
- Jumba: [sighs] 626 will not come easily. Maybe direct hit from plasma cannon might stun him long enough to--
- Grand Councilwoman: [interrupting, exasperated] Plasma cannon granted. Do we have a bargain, Dr. Jumba? [Jumba grunts in agreement]
- Pleakley: B-b-but it's a delicate planet! Who's going to control him?
- Grand Councilwoman: You will. [leaves]
- Pleakley: Very good, your highness. I-- I didn’t quite-- [scared] Uh, you're not joking!
- Jumba: So, tell me, my little one-eyed one. On what poor, pitiful, defenseless planet has my "monstrosity" been unleashed? [shifts to the oceans of Kauai as the opening titles begin]
- [After Lilo shows up to hula dance class late, soaking wet, Mertle, Elena, Teresa, and Yuki slip in the puddles, one by one]
- Moses: Stop, stop. Lilo, why are you all wet?
- Lilo: [first words] It's sandwich day. [Moses looks confused; she sighs] Every Thursday, I take Pudge the Fish a peanut butter sandwich.
- Moses: [still confused] Pudge is a fish?
- Lilo: [continues] And today we were out of peanut butter! So, I asked my sister what to give him, and she said a tuna sandwich! I can't give Pudge tuna! [whispers] Do you know what tuna is?
- Moses: [hesitantly] Fish?
- Lilo: It's FISH! If I gave Pudge tuna, I'd be an abomination! I'm late because I had to go to the store, and get peanut butter, 'cause all we have is, is STINKING TUNA!!
- Moses: Lilo, Lilo. Why is this so important?
- Lilo: [calmly] Pudge controls the weather. [Everyone exchanges surprised looks at each other]
- Mertle: You're crazy.
- [Lilo angrily jumps on her, and punches her in the face, then the other girls run away screaming]
- Moses: [worried] Please! Please! [picks Lilo up] Everybody calm down! [puts her down; Mertle cries] Girls... [in Hawaiian] It's okay. [in English; calmly] Shh. [to Lilo; sternly] Lilo--
- Lilo: I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I won't do it again!
- Moses: Maybe we should call your sister.
- Lilo: [worried] No! I'll be good! I want to dance. I practiced. I just want to dance. I practiced.
- Mertle: [notices invisible bite mark on her arm] Ew, she bit me.
- Elena, Teresa, and Yuki: Ew! [Fade outside the hula school where Lilo is sitting on the porch and Mertle and her friends leave]
- Moses: [crouches down to Lilo's height] I called your sister. She said to wait for her here on the porch. We'll try again on Sunday. [gets up and heads back inside]
- [Nani heads back to the Pelekai house and finds the front door locked]
- Nani: Lilo! Open the door, Lilo!
- Lilo: [from inside] Go away.
- Nani: [pokes her head through the doggy door and finds her little sister, laying on the floor under the couch with a record player sitting next to her] Lilo? We don't have time for this.
- Lilo: Leave me alone to die.
- Nani: Come on, Lilo, the social worker's going to be here any minute!
- Lilo: [to Cobra as she's creating voodoo dolls of her rivals] My friends need to be punished.
- Cobra: [hands his contact card to Lilo] Call me next time you're left here alone.
- Lilo: Yep.
- Cobra: [to Nani] In case you're wondering, this did not go well. [effortlessly pulls the door open hard, letting the nails clatter] You have 3 days to change my mind. [closes the door and leaves. Nani angrily turns to Lilo, who immediately screams in alarm; Lilo then starts running and Nani starts chasing her]
- Nani: [tackles Lilo in the kitchen and Lilo licks her arm; disgustedly] EW! [angrily] Lilo! [She then stops and points to the laundry room and goes into said room. She sets a blanket on the floor, climbs on top of the dryer, and opens the door and slams it shut with her boot. Lilo quietly comes out before getting caught and is brought back to the hallway in the blanket while growling and hissing like a cat; Nani angrily grabs Lilo's arm] Why didn't you wait at the school?! You were supposed to wait [angrily pounds on floor] there! Lilo! Do you not understand? Do you want to be taken away? [Lilo doesn't answer] Answer me!
- Lilo: No!
- Nani: No, you don't understand?
- Lilo: No!
- Nani: "No", what?
- Lilo: NOOOOO!! [hits the floor] Unh! [mumbles]
- Nani: [annoyed] Ugh! You're such a pain.
- Lilo: So, why don't you sell me and buy a rabbit instead? [starts walking upstairs to her bedroom]
- Nani: At least the rabbit would behave better than you!
- Lilo: Go ahead, then you'll be happy, because it will be smarter than me, too!
- Nani: And quieter!
- Lilo: You'll like it, 'cause it's stinky like YOU!!! [enters her bedroom and angrily slams the door]
- Nani: [angrily] GO TO YOUR ROOOOOM!!!!!!
- Lilo: [opens door; angrily] I'M ALREADY IN MY ROOM!! [slams the door again. Nani and Lilo angrily scream into their pillows as a dog barks]
- [Later]
- Nani: Hey. I brought you some pizza, in case you were hungry.
- Lilo: We’re a broken family, aren’t we?
- Nani: No. Maybe a little.
- [Both Nani and Lilo witness the green light, not realizing it is a spaceship, coming towards Earth]
- Lilo: A falling star! [the ship crash-lands] I call it! [pushes Nani] Get out, get out! I have to make a wish! [trying to push Nani out of her room] Can't you go any faster?
- Nani: [leanin' back] Oh, no! Gravity is increasing on me!
- Lilo: No, it's not!
- Nani: Is too, Lilo. The same thing happened yesterday. [falls on top of Lilo]
- Lilo: You rotten sister, your butt is crushing me! Why do you act so weird?! [angrily shuts the door on Nani's head]
- [Nani and Lilo are at an animal shelter looking for a pet dog]
- Nani: [to shelter worker] We're looking for something that can defend itself. Something that won't die, something...sturdy, you know?
- Lilo: Like a lobster.
- Nani: Lilo, you lolo! Do we have a lobster door? No, we have a dog door. We are getting a dog.
- [626 sneaks out of the shelter, and avoids getting hit from plasma cannon]
- Jumba: [off-screen] Ah-ha! So nice to see your pretty face again!
- 626: Jumba?
- Lilo: Hi.
- 626: Hoo, ha...Hi. [hugs her]
- Lilo: Wow!
- [Later, Lilo comes back to the lobby with 626]
- Rescue Lady: Oh, yes. Mmm-hmm. All of our dogs are adoptable. [sees 626; alarmed] Except that one! [runs and takes 626 away from Lilo as Nani quickly pulls Lilo away from 626]
- Nani: What is that thing?
- Rescue Lady: A dog, I think. But it was dead this morning!
- Nani: [confused] It was dead this morning?
- Rescue Lady: We thought it was dead, it was hit by a truck!
- Lilo: I like him! Come here, boy!
- [626 forcefully, against the rescue lady's grip, walks himself forward to get to Lilo as she called him to her, climbing up onto Nani and Lilo's laps]
- Nani: [screams and pushes 626 away from her and Lilo; composes herself] Wouldn't you like a different dog?
- Rescue Lady: [a bit breathless] We have better dogs, dear.
- Lilo: Not better than him. He can talk. Say "hello".
- 626: He-- Hel--
- Rescue Lady: Dogs can't talk, dear.
- [626 narrows his eyes and bares his teeth in frustration]
- Lilo: He did.
- Nani: Does it have to be this dog?
- [626 pants a few times before rolling his tongue out, sticking it up his nose and putting it back in his mouth, smacking his lips]
- Lilo: Yes. He's good. I can tell.
- Rescue Lady: [filling out paperwork at the front desk] You'll have to think of a name for him.
- [Standing on a chair, 626 looks out the window]
- Lilo: His name is Stitch.
- [626, now named Stitch, looks at Lilo]
- Rescue Lady: Now, that's not a real name... [Nani shakes her head quickly and waves her hand as if saying "No! Don't say that!"] ...in...Iceland. But here, it's a good name. Stitch, it is. And there's a $2 license fee.
- Lilo: I want to buy him! [whispers] Can I borrow $2?
- [With a semi-irritated look, Nani takes the money from the rescue lady and hands it to Lilo. Lilo then taps the money on her shoulder and hands it back to her, handing it to the shelter worker]
- Rescue Lady: [stamps the adoption papers and hands the paper to Lilo with a friendly smile] He's all yours.
- Jumba: [looking at Stitch through his scope] You're all mine.
- Pleakley: Well, what's he doing?
- Jumba: Shh! Keep quiet. He's listening for us.
- Pleakley: [whispering, Stitch turns his head] How good is his hearing? I mean, can he-- [Jumba angrily chokes him]
- [Stitch opens the door and gets out]
- Jumba: [turns on the red laser pointer at Stitch] Why don't you run? [slowly squeezes plasma cannon's trigger as Stitch barks for Lilo]
- Lilo: I'm coming, I'm coming! [hugs Stitch]
- Pleakley: [pushes Jumba's plasma gun away just as it fires] STOP! I have just determined the situation to be far too hazardous!
- Jumba: [pushes Pleakley out of his way] Don't worry, I won't hit her.
- Pleakley: [plugs plasma cannon with his finger] No! That girl is part of the mosquito food chain. [hands Jumba his View-Master] Here, educate yourself.
- Jumba: [incensed] Using a little girl for a shield. [angrily] This is low, even for you!
- Stitch: [wiggles his butt at Jumba, taunting him] Woo-hoo!
- Jumba: Bah! [angrily pushes Pleakley away] Tear him apart with all both my bare hands!
- Pleakley: Have you lost your mind?!
- Lilo: [as Stitch barks like a dog] What is it, Stitch?
- Pleakley: [he and Jumba hide themselves in a nearby bush] We cannot be seen!
- [Stitch keeps barking like a dog as Nani and Rescue Lady enters the scene.]
- Rescue Lady: [angrily using a spray bottle] Bad dog, barking at nothing.
- [Stitch angrily rubs his head on the wooden porch; Jumba and Pleakley peek from the bush.]
- Pleakley: You can't shoot, and you can't be seen. Look at you! You look like a monster. We have to blend in.
- Mertle: [as Lilo approaches her; annoyed] What do you want?
- Lilo: I'm sorry I bit you, and pulled your hair, and punched you in the face.
- Mertle: Apology not accepted. Now get out of my way before I run you over. [screams as she sees Stitch crawling towards her]
- Lilo: I got a new dog. His name is Stitch.
- Mertle: That is the ugliest thing I have ever saw.
- Elena, Teresa and Yuki: [simultaneously] Yeah.
- [as Pleakley get themself comfortable for the night, Jumba looks at Stitch through his binoculars]
- Jumba: [laughs in amusement] This little girl is wasting her time. 626 cannot be taught to ignore its destructive programming. Ooh! Push that over. [to Pleakley] What are you doing?
- Pleakley: [quickly takes his wig off] Nothing!
- Jumba: Uh, say, I want to try it on.
- Pleakley: No!
- Jumba: Share! Let me try it!
- Pleakley: Hey! Ow! You’re just jealous 'cause I'm pretty! [notices a mosquito] Don't move. A mosquito has chosen me as her perch. She's so beautiful. [more mosquitoses flies in] Look, another one. And another one! [a whole mosquito swarm flies in, covers him] Why, it's a whole flock. And they like me! They're nuzzling my flesh with their noses. Now they're, um, they're-- [realizes the mosquitoes are sucking his blood; the scene cuts to a different shot as Pleakley screams painfully, offscreen]
- Lilo: [as Stitch lifts her pillow, revealing the photo of her and Nani's deceased parents] That's us before. It was rainy and they went for a drive. What happened to yours? I hear you cry at night. Do you dream about them? I know that's why you wreck things and push me. Our family's little now and we don't have many toys but if you want, you could be part of it. You could be our baby, and we'd raise you to be good. "Ohana" means family. Family means nobody gets left behind, but if you want to leave, you can. I'll remember you, though. I remember everyone that leaves.
- [Stitch grabs Jumba's plasma gun, but Jumba plugs it with a carrot]
- Jumba: You shouldn't play with guns.
- Stitch: [giving it to him] Oh, okay.
- Jumba: Thank you. [hears the gun beeping, realizes it's overloading and throws it back to Stitch] Oh, I just remembered, it's your birthday! Happy birthday!
- Stitch: [throws it to him; grunts] Merry Christmas!
- Jumba: [throws it back] It's not Christmas!
- Stitch: [throws it back] Happy Hanukah!
- [As Jumba and Stitch play hot potato with the overloading gun, Pleakley grabs Lilo and runs out of the house]
- Jumba: [in background, overlapped by Lilo] It's not Hanukah!
- Lilo: We're leaving Stitch?!
- Pleakley: Trust me, this is not gonna end well!
- [Back to Jumba and Stitch]
- Jumba: 1 potato!
- Stitch: 2 potato!
- Jumba: 3 potato!
- Stitch: 4!
- Jumba: 5 potato!
- Stitch: 6 potato!
- Jumba: 7 potato, more!
- Stitch: My...
- Jumba: ...mother...
- Stitch: ...told...
- Jumba: ...me...
- Stitch: ...you...
- Jumba: ...are...
- Stitch: ...it.
- Jumba: Oh! I win.
- [The gun explodes, destroying Lilo's house. One of the flying objects from the explosion hits Pleakley, and he screams and flies offscreen.]
- [After Lilo's house is destroyed]
- Lilo: [explaining to Cobra about what happened] One of them had a giant eye in the middle of his face.
- Nani: [enters the scene] Oh, Lilo. [Cobra puts Lilo in his car and shuts the car door] Please, don't do this.
- Cobra: You know I have no choice.
- Nani: NO! You're not taking her! I'm the only one who understands her! You take that away, she won't stand a chance!
- Cobra: You're making this harder than it needs to be.
- Nani: You don't know what you're doing! She needs me!
- Cobra: [angrily points at her destroyed house] Is this what she needs?! It seems clear to me that you need her a lot more than she needs you. [Lilo gets out of his car on the other side and flees into the tropical forest] Lilo! LILO!
- Nani: Lilo!
- [Stitch looks at Lilo's family portrait; Lilo then enters the tropic woods, where Stitch surprises her and hands her the portrait]
- Lilo: [quietly and coldly] You've ruined everything. [Stitch hesitantly reveals his true alien form] You're one of them? [angrily shoves him away; quietly] Get out of here, Stitch. [She and Stitch then suddenly get captured by Gantu]
- Gantu: Surprise! [laughs evilly] And here I thought you'd be difficult to catch. Ho-ho-ho. Silly me.
- Nani: [searching for Lilo] Lilo? Lilo! [gets passed by Gantu, and she screams in horror; hears Stitch growling and gasps in shock]
- [Gantu heads to his ship and puts Lilo and Stitch in his traveling glass capsule.]
- Gantu: There you go, all buckled up for the trip. [puts his capsule on the back of his ship] And look, I even caught you a little snack.
- [Gantu gets on his ship and starts his engine.]
- Nani: [gasps] NO, STOP! [gets blown down to the ground]
- [Stitch gets himself out of Gantu's capsule. Gantu's ship then takes off to the sky, leaving Stitch falling to the ground]
- Nani: Lilo.
- Nani: [smacks Stitch with tree branch; angrily] Okay, talk. I know you had something to do with this. Now, where is Lilo? [Stitch doesn't answer] Talk! I know you can.
- Stitch: [shakes his head and sighs; annoyed] Okay, okay.
- Nani: [screams and smacks Stitch with tree branch; Stitch groans] Where's Lilo?
- Stitch: [sighs] Lilo-- [gets zapped by plasma cannon blast]
- Jumba: [after he captures Stitch] Ha-ha! Now all your washing is up!
- Pleakley: [shows his ID] You're under arrest! Read him his rights.
- Jumba: Listen carefully. [starts laughing while beating up Stitch]
- Pleakley: Hello, Galactic command? Experiment 626 is in custody. We'll wait right here. [hangs up]
- [Nani gets up and sees Jumba and Pleakley.]
- Pleakley: [whispers to Jumba] Don't interact with her.
- [Nani then slowly walks to them.]
- Nani: Where's Lilo?
- Jumba: Who? [Pleakley angrily slaps him] What?
- Nani: Lilo. My sister.
- Jumba: Uh, sorry. We do not know anyone by this, uh--
- Nani: Lilo! She's a little girl, this big! She has black hair and brown eyes, and she hangs around with that THING!!
- Stitch: Uh--
- Jumba: [sighs; solemnly] We know her.
- Nani: Bring her back.
- Pleakley: Oh, we can't do that. Uh-uh. That would be a misuse of Galactic resources.
- Jumba: See, problem is...we're just here for him.
- Nani: [sadly] So, she's gone?
- Pleakley: Look at the bright side. You won't have to yell at anyone anymore. [chuckles nervously]
- [Nani then sadly kneels to the ground and starts sobbing in despair.]
- Jumba: Come.
- [Stitch, Jumba and Pleakley turns to leave. But Stitch stops and walks back to Nani to comfort her.]
- Stitch: Ohana.
- Nani: Huh?
- Jumba: Hey! [snatches Stitch] Get away from her.
- Nani: No! [quickly pulls Stitch back from Jumba; to Stitch] What did you say?
- Stitch: "Ohana" means family. Family means nobody--
- Nani: Nobody gets left behind.
- Stitch: Or forgotten. Yeah. [to Jumba] Hey! [speaks alien language]
- Jumba: WHAT?! [angrily grabs Stitch] After all you put me through, you expect me to help you just like that? JUST LIKE THAT?!
- Stitch: [in alien langauge] Yes.
- Jumba: Fine. [takes space handcuffs off of him]
- Pleakley: Fine? You're doing what he says?
- Jumba: Uh, he's very persuasive.
- Pleakley: "Persuasive"?! What exactly are we doing?
- Jumba: Rescue.
- Nani: [delightfully] We're gonna get Lilo?
- Stitch: [in alien language] Yes.
- Gantu: [Stitch scratches the glass] Little savage. Get off my ship!
- Stitch: AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!
- Lilo: Stitch!
- Lilo: Don't leave me, okay?
- Stitch: [worried] Okay. Okay. [hears truck horn and sees said truck; determined] Okay.
- David: So, you're from outer space, huh? I heard the surfing's choice.
- [Stitch then gets captured by one of intergalactic guards.]
- Intergalactic Guard: We have 626.
- Grand Councilwoman: Take him to my ship.
- Lilo: [angrily] Leave him alone.
- Cobra Bubbles: [holds Lilo back] Hold on.
- Gantu: Grand Councilwoman, let me explain.
- Grand Councilwoman: SILENCE! I am retiring you, Captain Gantu.
- [Gantu is shocked.]
- Pleakley: Actually, credit for the capture goes to--
- Grand Councilwoman: Goes to me. You'll be lucky if you end up on a Fluff Trog farm after we sort this thing out.
- Jumba: Uh, I think I should--
- Grand Councilwoman: You! You're the cause of all this! If it wasn't for Experiment 626, none of this--
- Stitch: [interrupting] Stitch.
- Grand Councilwoman: What?
- Stitch: My name Stitch.
- Grand Councilwoman: Stitch, then. If it wasn't for Stitch-- [realizes what just happened, turns back to Stitch]
- Stitch: Does Stitch have to go in the ship?
- Grand Councilwoman: [shocked, hesitant] Yes.
- Stitch: Can Stitch say goodbye?
- Grand Councilwoman: Yes.
- Stitch: Thank you. [walks over to Nani and Lilo]
- Grand Councilwoman: [looks at Nani and Lilo] Who are you?
- Stitch: This is my family. I found it all on my own. It's little and broken, but still good. Yeah. Still good. [walks back to board the ship]
- Pleakley: Does he really have to go?
- Grand Councilwomam: [sighs] You know as well as I that our laws are absolute. I cannot change what the Council has decided.
- Cobra: [whispering] Lilo, didn't you buy that thing at the shelter?
- Lilo: [takes out the adoption form and runs up to the Grand Councilwoman] Hey! [The Grand Councilwoman looks down at her] Three days ago, I bought Stitch at the shelter. I paid $2 for him. See this stamp? I own him. [Grand Councilwoman takes adoption papers] If you take him, you're stealing. [realizes Lilo is right, and smiles with a change of heart]
- Cobra: Aliens are all about rules.
- Grand Councilwoman: You look familiar.
- Cobra: CIA. Roswell. 1973.
- Grand Councilwoman: [remembers] Ah, yes. You had hair then. Take note of this. This creature has been sentenced to life in exile, [takes space handcuffs off of Stitch] a sentence that shall be henceforth served out here...on Earth. And as caretaker of the alien life-form, Stitch, this family is now under the official protection of the United Galactic Federation. We'll be checking in, now and then.
- Cobra: I was afraid you were going to say that. This won't be easy to explain back at headquarters.
- Grand Councilwoman: I know what you mean. [to her intergalactic guards] Don't let those two get on my ship. [leaves]
