## Dialogue

    [First lines; Gantu walks into a large, windowed room in a spaceship with the stars of space visibly flying by outside. Dr. Jacques von Hämsterviel appears on an oval screen]
    Dr. Hämsterviel: Please, come closer. [a spotlight shines on a red chair] Have a seat. [Gantu growls, then walks to the chair that's too small for him and sits on it] Tell me, what makes you think you're so qualified for this assignment?
    Gantu: Well, my...previous occupation was captain of the Galactic Alliance. But um... [clears throat] After my last mission, I was uh...retired.
    Hämsterviel: You let Experiment 626 escape.
    Gantu: [angrily gets up and points at the screen with the chair stuck to his backside] It wasn't my fault! The little trog-!
    Hämsterviel: Calm down! [the chair pops off Gantu and falls back on the floor] This job has absolutely nothing to do with 626.
    Gantu: I know what the job is about, and I believe I know the location of the item you seek.
    Hämsterviel: [getting excited] Where is it? Where?!
    Gantu: A tiny planet in Gamma Quadrant. They call it...Earth.
    [At Lahui Beach]
    David: [after surfing in the waves, he sees Nani grabbing the beach equipment] Hey, Nani, you need some help? Let me give you a hand.
    Nani: [hands David the equipment] Where's Lilo?
    David: She's not with you?
    [Jumba and Pleakley, wearing early 20th century bathing clothes, arrive in Nani's red dune buggy]
    Pleakley: Look! A parking space! [Jumba drives the buggy through a guardrail and crashes offscreen] WAAAAAAH!
    [Jumba reverses the buggy back in frame and parks it, with Pleakley hanging over the windscreen]
    Jumba: Ridiculous Earth vehicle! [he and Pleakley exit the buggy] Needs evil genius tune-up!
    Pleakley: I am THRILLED! [happily spins on one of his three legs] My very first day at an Earth beach! I've been studying...mingling with locals. [faces forward and does a shaka sign] Hang loose!
    [Cut to two women staring at Jumba and Pleakley in disbelief]
    Woman: [rolls eyes and sighs] Whatever. [walks away with her friend]
    [Cut back to Jumba and Pleakley]
    Jumba: Are you sure wooly one-piece bathing suit is from proper century?
    Pleakley: Absolutely. [pulls out a straw hat from behind Jumba] Now put on your hat. [puts hat on Jumba]
    Nani: [walks up to Jumba and Pleakley] Hey, have you two seen Lilo?
    Jumba: We thought the little girl was with you.
    [Cut to Lilo]
    Lilo: [to Stitch] Today, you'll take your rightful place as part of the Hawaiian community. Are you ready?
    Stitch: [jumps behind the rock] Hajibah! [shows up in a hula skirt, grass hat, and sunglasses]
    Lilo: Nice skirt, but you don't need to dress up. Just be yourself.
    Stitch: [extends his lower pair of arms, antennae, and spines, appearing in his true alien form] Hiii.
    Lilo: ...Maybe not that much yourself. [Stitch retracts his lower arms, antennae, and spines to appear as a "dog" again] Now, remember, in Hawaii everybody calls each other "cousin." Not because we're all related, because we're one big ohana, one happy family. [Stitch is nervous] You'll be fine. Just say, "Aloha, cousin." [Stitch walks on, but looks back] Go on.
    Stitch: [walks over to the boy, who's playing sand castle] Aloha, cousin. [hugs the boy]
    Boy: NOOOO!!! [runs off, knocking the sand castle over]
    [Then Stitch sees the group playing volleyball]
    Man 1: I got it!
    [Then Stitch joins in, but accidentally pokes the volleyball with his claws]
    Group: Huh?
    [The volleyball deflates]
    Stitch: [nervously] Heh. Aloha, cousin?
    [Cuts to the food table]
    Man 2: [smiffs] Mmm. Smells good!
    Moses: Okay. Who wants to slice the pineapple?
    Stitch: [volunteers] Aggataga! [takes out the chainsaw, and crazily slices the whole table, causing everyone to run away in panic]
    Lilo: Oh, no.
    Jumba: Not good.
    David: Hey, that's my chainsaw.
    [Stitch stops in realization, a few seconds before the table collapse. Stitch gets up]
    Man 3: That blue dude, he's, like, totally freaky.
    Moses: I told Lilo, no pets.
    [Lilo facepalms as Stitch walks away in sadness]
    Nani: [to Pleakley] You sure you can watch Lilo for a couple of hours?
    Pleakley: You two go, have a good time. Everything here is completely under control. [the food flames up; panicked, closes the lid on the pot] Why, I'm even fixing my very first Earth dinner.
    Nani: [looks at the can] You're fixing dog food.
    Pleakley: I know. It makes its own gravy. [tastes of it] Mmm.
    Nani: Here. Why don't you take this? [gives Pleakley some money]
    Pleakley: Leafy greens?
    Nani: No. It's money for pizza.
    David: They deliver.
    Pleakley: Really? Fascinating.
    Gantu: [seeing a drawing of himself through the window with the words labeled "Big Dummy"] Very funny.
    [Jumba has put Pleakley, along with the container, inside the chest box]
    Jumba: Not to make a peep, my little one-eyed one or entire galaxy is doomed.
    Pleakley: But how am I supposed to breathe?!
    [Jumba closes the box, and begins to knit]
    Gantu: [rips the roof open] Jumba Jookiba.
    Jumba: Gantu? Not seen long time!
    Gantu: Where are they?
    Jumba: They? Who they?
    Gantu: The other six hundred and twenty-five experiments!
    Jumba: [laughs] You must have me confused with other evil genius scientist!
    Gantu: [finds a blue experiment pod with the numbers reading "625"] What have we here? [picks it up]
    Jumba: Uh, is, uh...ping-pong ball. Is Earth sport. Like tennis, but tinier.
    Gantu: [picks up Jumba by the head] You're a bad liar, Jumba. Where are the other experiment pods?
    Jumba: I never discuss scientific research with big dummies.
    Gantu: Then perhaps you'll discuss it with your former partner, Dr. Hämsterviel.
    Jumba: [shocked] Hämsterviel is...is alive?
    Gantu: And he wants his experiments back. [takes him to his ship]
    Pleakley: [still in the chest box] Jumba? Help?
    [While attempting to rescue Jumba and fighting Gantu in outer space, Stitch laughs while crazily driving Jumba's ship]
    Lilo: [annoyed] You had coffee today, didn't you?
    Stitch: Coconut cake and coffee!
    Computer: Container ready. Select experiment. [Stitch scrolls through and selects Experiment 221] Experiment 221. Primary function: electrical power surge. [Stitch takes Experiment 221's pod from the container and drops it in the bathtub, activating the experiment] Experiment 221 activated.
    Lilo: [amazed] Wow!
    [Then out came a yellow alien with electric lightning with an evil laugh. He flies around cutting power shortage around the house]
    Nani: [from inside] Oh, come on.
    David: [from inside] Hey, what's going on?
    Pleakley: [from inside] Dark! Very dark!
    [221 then escapes from the window, and flies throughout the island, causing more power shortage]
    Stitch: Cousin lost! Jumba lost...
    Lilo: You have a lot of lost issues...
    Stitch: Ih. [flatly bonks his head against a wall]
    Stitch: [sees 221's lighting up ahead through his x-ray vision] Aka tiki baba! Sasa! [climbs down from the tree and follows it]
    Lilo: [not noticing] Maybe he went this way. [walks offscreen in the opposite direction. An annoyed Stitch walks onscreen after her, then appears grumbling while dragging her along with him by the dress] Hey!
    Dr. Hämsterviel: Any second now, you'll hear his tortured cries of regret: "Please let me out, I'll tell you everything!" Any second now, his pathetic screaming, begging for mercy. Any second, should be right about...now!
    Gantu: I don't hear anything.
    Dr. Hämsterviel: Shut up, I can't hear!
    [They re-entered the room]
    Gantu and Hämsterviel: [flabbergasted] Huh?
    [625 appears to be eating a stack of sandwiches next to Jumba]
    Jumba: Funny thing, 625 has all powers of 626, even has advanced language programming; unfortunately, he is also lazy coward, [chuckles] but makes great sandwiches.
    625: [takes a bite of a sandwich; speaking American English] Ham or tuna?
    Hämsterviel: [growling in annoyance; cuts to outside his ship] I AM IRKED!!!!
    [While searching for 221, Lilo noticed the lightning spark through the fence hole]
    Lilo: [to Stitch] It's on the other side of the fence.
    [Stitch hauls Lilo up the fence and she lands onto a tent, startling Mertle and her friends]
    Mertle: Lilo, what are you doing here?!
    Lilo: You're having a camp-out? But you told me everyone was sick.
    Mertle: We are sick...sick of you.
    Yuki, Teresa, and Elena: Yeah!
    Lilo: Who needs your dumb, fakey campout anyways?
    Lilo: [as she and Stitch head back home, through the back door; whispering] Don't let Nani hear us. It's so past my bedtime.
    Nani: [turns on the lights; not happy] Lilo! It is so past your bedtime! [Lilo and Stitch both look at each other, then scream for their lives as she sends them on a wild goose chase around the house and straight up to Lilo's rooftop dome] AND DON'T FORGET TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH! [storms off] Uhh! [slams the door to her room]
    625: I think I'll have a sandwich. Hey Gantu, how about a sandwhich?
    Gantu: I don't want a sandwich!
    625: You sure? [sing-song voice] Last of the bologna.
    Gantu: I don't like bologna! [grasping his abdomen] Too fatty.
    [The next morning, Cobra Bubbles' car pulls up at the Pelekai house, and Cobra walks up to front door and knocks, and Nani answers it]
    Cobra: You called.
    Nani: Cobra. How are you?
    Cobra: [enters the house] Sleepy.
    Nani: Oh. Sorry.
    [As Lilo and Stitch arrive at the Kilauea Lighthouse with Experiment 221, now named Sparky...]
    Lilo: Wait! [echoes] I've got the missing experiment.
    Hämsterviel: What? [to Gantu] Who is this?
    Gantu: A little Earth girl who can be a gigantic pain in the rear.
    Cobra: Well done, Lilo. Now give it to the diminutive gerbil-like creature.
    Hämsterviel: Hamster-like! Not gerbil, hamster! Give it to me!
    Lilo: No!
    Cobra: Lilo, it's the only way you can save Jumba.
    Lilo: But got to save Sparky, too.
    Cobra: [surprised] You've named it?
    Lilo: Yep. We're going to name all the experiments.
    Stitch: [nods in agreement] Mmm. Iki pataba.
    Hämsterviel: Shut up with all your not shutting up! Hand it over!
    Lilo: Nope.
    Cobra: Lilo, do what he says.
    Lilo: Whose side are you on?!
    Jumba: He's on saving-my-life side. Is good side.
    Cobra: You fail to comprehend the complexity of the situation.
    Hämsterviel: Do you want your Jumba or not? Make your choice, little girl.
    [Lilo looks at Cobra, then Pleakley, then Jumba, and then, Stitch and Sparky for several moments]
    Lilo: [bravely makes her "own" decision] Okay. I've decided. You can't have either of them! [sets Sparky free] Be free, little cousin! [to Stitch] Now you save Jumba!
    Stitch: Chuppy cheepa!
    Hämsterviel: Begin the shooting!
    Gantu: Finally. [fires 4 plasma bullets]
    [But Stitch grabs them with his 4 arms and throws them at Hämsterviel and Gantu, who dodge]
    [While battling over the container of experiments in Gantu's ship]
    Lilo: [notices] The window! [opens the window]
    Gantu: [alarmed] The window's open!
    Ship Computer: Warning, window is open.
    [Gantu grunts in annoyance]
    Lilo: [prepares to throw the container] Be free, cousins!
    Gantu: NO!!! [Lilo throws the container out of the window before he catches it with his hand. Just in time] Phew.
    [But the container releases 623 experiment pods, and they fly down towards Kauai]
    [Stitch is restrained by the metal cuffs]
    Hämsterviel: You think you are so super strong, with your "I can lift three-thousand times my own weight"! Well, that is exactly why I designed these restraints to hold your weight... [camera zooms out] ...times three-thousand and one!
    [Last lines]
    Lilo: Come on! We've got 625 cousins to find!
    Stitch: 623.
    Lilo: Whatever.
    Cobra Bubbles: Are you sure they can handle this?
    Pleakley: Lilo is a very persistent little girl!
    Jumba: And with 626, they make one hotshot evil genius experiment-catching team!
    [Last lines]
    Pleakley: [to Jumba] Hey, Maybe the Grand Councilwoman will let us come home with her this time! [but the ship begins to blast off into space] I'll get the wig... [walks off]
    [Jumba is left confused and looks up, before fading to black]
