Which part of the script should I use to draw a picture of?

Lilo And Stitch Script














Read the charges.











Dr. Jumba Jookiba--











lead scientist of


Galaxy Defense Industries--











you stand before this council











accused of illegal


genetic experimentation.











How do you plead?











Not guilty!











My experiments


are only theoretical--











completely


within legal boundaries.











We believe you actually


created something.











Created something?! Ha!











But that would be irresponsible


and unethical.











I would never, ever...











make more than one.











What is that monstrosity?











Monstrosity!











What you see before you


is the first of a new species.











I call it Experiment 626.











He is bulletproof, fireproof











and can think faster


than supercomputer.











He can see in the dark











and move objects


times his size.











His only instinct:











To destroy


everything he touches!











So, it is a monster.











Hey, just a little one.











It is an affront to nature.











It must be destroyed!











Calm yourself, Captain Gantu.











Perhaps it can be reasoned with.











Experiment 626











give us some sign you understand


any of this.











Show us that there is something


inside you that is good.











Hmm?











Meega, nala kweesta!











So naughty!











I didn't teach it that.











Place that idiot scientist


under arrest!











I prefer to be called


evil genius!











And as for that abomination...











it is the flawed product


of a deranged mind.











It has no place among us.











Captain Gantu, take him away.











With pleasure.











Hmm.











Uncomfortable?











Oh...











Good!











The council has banished you


to exile on a desert asteroid.











So, relax... enjoy the trip











and don't get any ideas.











These guns are locked


onto your genetic signature.











They won't shoot anyone but you.











Ow! Why, you...!











May I remind the captain


that he is on duty.











Secure the cell!











Aye, Captain.











Captain on deck.











All ahead full.











Do... Does this, uh,


look infected to you?











Oh!











Quiet, you.











Gunfire in the cell bay!











Open a channel.











He's loose on Deck C!











Red alert.


Seal off the deck!











Security,


converge on door seven!











Deadly force authorized.











Fire on sight!











There he is!











Security to Bridge.











It's in the ventilation system.











He's headed for the power...











grid.











What was that?











I don't think he's


on the ship anymore.











Confirmed.


He's taken a police cruiser.











Yeah... he took the red one.











Yee-haw!











Hmm?!











That's it!











We got it.


We got it!











Hyperdrive activated.











System charging.











He's engaged his H-drive!











Warning--


guidance is not functional.











Pursuit Commander











that crazy trog is


about to make a jump!











Break formation!


Get clear of that ship!











Navigation failure.











Do not engage hyper...











Get me Galactic Control.











Where is he?!











He's still in hyperspace.











Where will he exit?











Calculating now--











quadrant section - -


area .











A planet called... Ee-arth.











I want an expert on this planet


in here now!











What is that?











Water. Most of the planet


is covered in it.











He won't survive in water.











His molecular density


is too great.











No...











Of course.











How much time do we have?











We have projected his landing


at three hours, minutes.











Oh, we have to gas the planet.











Hold it!











Hold everything!











Earth is a protected


wildlife preserve.











Yeah. We've been using it











to rebuild


the mosquito population











which, need I remind you,


is an endangered species!











Am I to assume


you are the expert?











Oh, I don't know about expert.











Agent Pleakley at your service.











Can we not simply


destroy the island?











No! Crazyhead!











The mosquito's food of choice,


primitive humanoid life forms











have colonies


all over that planet.











Are they intelligent?











No, but they're very delicate.











In fact, every time an asteroid


strikes their planet











they have to begin life


all over.











It's fascinating, isn't it?











With this,


I've been able to study...











What if our military forces


just landed there?











Well, that'd be a bad idea!











These are extremely


simple creatures, miss.











Landing there would create mass


mayhem and planet-wide panic!











A quiet capture would require


an understanding of - -











that we do not possess!











Who, then, Mr. Pleakley, would


you send for his extraction?











Does he have a brother?











Close grandmother, perhaps?











Friendly cousin?











Neighbor with a beard?











He got away?











I'm sure this comes


as no surprise to you.











I designed this creature


for to be unstoppable.











Which is precisely why you


must now bring him back.











What? Me?











And to reward you











we are willing to trade


your freedom for his capture.











- - will not come easily.











Maybe direct hit


from plasma cannon











might stun him long enough to...











Plasma cannon granted.











Do we have a bargain, Dr. Jumba?











B-B-But it's a delicate planet!











Who's going to control him?











You will.











Very good, Your Highness.











I... I didn't quite...











Uh, you're notjoking!











So, tell me,


my little one-eyed one











on what poor, pitiful,


defenseless planet











has my monstrosity


been unleashed?

-Whoa!


-Whoa!











Stop. Stop.











Lilo, why are you all wet?











It's sandwich day.











Every Thursday,


I take Pudge the fish











a peanut butter sandwich.











Pudge is a fish?











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!











Do you know what tuna is?











Fish?











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 stinkin' tuna!











Lilo, Lilo, why is


this so important?











Pudge controls the weather.











You're crazy.











Please! Please!











Everybody calm down!











Girls...











Shh.











Lilo...











I'm sorry! I'm sorry!











I won't do it again!











Maybe we should call


your sister.











No! I'll be good!











I want to dance.











I practiced.











I just want to dance.











I practiced.











Ooh, she bit me.











Eww!











I called your sister.











She said to wait for her


here on the porch.











We'll try again on Sunday.











Does this look infected


to you?











Yeah.











You better not have rabies.











If you have rabies











the dogcatcher is


going to have to cut...











Are you going to play dolls?











You don't have a doll.











This is Scrump.











I made her,


but her head is too big.











So I pretend a bug laid eggs


in her ears, and she's upset











because she only has


a few more days to...











Lilo!











Lilo?











Lilo?











Oh, no.











You better be home.











Hey! Watch where you're going!











Stupidhead!











I found a new place to dwell...











Oh, Lilo!











Lilo! Open the door, Lilo!











Go away.











...You make me so lonely,


baby...











Lilo?











We don't have time for this.











...I get so lonely...











Leave me alone to die.











Come on, Lilo











that social worker's going


to be here any minute!











...You still can find


some room











For brokenhearted lovers


to cry away their gloom











Don't make me so lonely, baby











Don't make me so lonely











I get so lonely I could die...











The bellhop's tears


keep flowin'...











You are so finished


when I get in there!











Well, they been so long


on Lonely Street











They ain't ever


gonna look back...











Oh, I'm going to stuff you


in the blender











push puree,


then bake you into a pie











and feed it


to the social worker!











And when he says,


Mmm, this is great.











What's your secret?


I'm going to say...











Love... and nurturing.











Hi. Uh...











You must be the, uh...











The stupidhead.











Oh! Oh...











Oh, you know,


I'm really sorry about that











and if I'd known who you were,


of course I never would've...











Uh... I can pay for that.











It's a rental.











Are you the guardian


in question?











Yes. I'm Nani.











Nice to meet you, Mister...?











Bubbles.











Mr. Bubbles.











That's a strange...











Yes, I know.











Are you going


to invite me in, Nani?











Uh... I thought we could


sit out here and talk.











I don't think so.











Right. Uh...











...It's always crowded...











This way.











...You still can find some room











For brokenhearted lovers


to cry away their gloom











You make me so lonely, baby...











Uh... wait here.











Hey!











So...











lemonade?











Do you often


leave your sister home alone?











No. Never.











Well, except forjust now.











Uh, I had to run


to the store to get some...











Oh!











You left the stove on


while you were out?











Low heat!











Just a simmer.











Mmm!











It's coming along great.











I found that this morning.











Lilo! There you are.











Honeyface...











this is Mr. Bubbles.











Nice to meet you.











Your knuckles say Cobra.











Cobra Bubbles.











You don't look like


a social worker.











I'm a special classification.











Did you ever kill anyone?











We're getting off the subject.











Let's talk about you.











Are you happy?











I'm adjusted.











I eat four food groups











and look both ways


before crossing the street











and take long naps,


and get disciplined.











Disciplined?











Yeah.


She disciplines me real good.











Sometimes five times a day.











-With bricks.


-No...











Bricks?











Uh-huh, in a pillowcase.











Okay! That's enough sugar


for you.











Why don't you run along,


you little cutie.











The other social workers


just thought she was a scream.











Thirsty?











Let me illuminate to you


the precarious situation











in which you have


found yourself.











I am the one they call


when things go wrong











and things have


indeed gone wrong.











My friends need to be punished.











Call me next time


you're left here alone.











Yep.











In case you're wondering,


this did not go well.











You have three days


to change my mind.











-Blah.


-Eww!











Lilo!











Why didn't you wait


at the school?











You were supposed


to wait there!











Lilo!











Do you not understand?


Do you want to be taken away?











Answer me!











No!











No, you don't understand?











No!











No, what?











No!











You're such a pain!











So why don't you sell me


and buy a rabbit instead?!











At least a rabbit would behave


better than you!











Go ahead!


Then you'll be happy











because it'll be smarter


than me, too!











And quieter!











You'll like it,


'cause it's stinky, like you!











Go to your room!











I'm already in my room!











Hey.











I brought you some pizza,


in case you were hungry.











We're a broken family,


aren't we?











No.











Maybe, a little.











Maybe a lot.











I shouldn't have yelled at you.











We're sisters. It's ourjob.











Yeah, well, from now on...











I like you better as a sister


than a mom.











Yeah?











And you like me better


as a sister











than a rabbit, right?











Oh...











Oh, oh, oh, oh.











Yes.











Yes, I do.











I hit Mertle Edmonds today.











You hit her?











Before I bit her.











You bit her.











Lilo, you shouldn't...











People treat me different.











They just don't know


what to say.











I'll tell you what.











If you promise


not to fight anymore











I promise not to yell at you,


except on special occasions.











Tuesdays and bank


holidays would be good.











Yeah? Would that be good?











Oh! My camera's full again.











Aren't they beautiful?











A falling star!











I call it! Get out! Get out!











I have to make a wish!











Can't you go any faster?











Oh, no!


Gravity is increasing on me.











No, it's not!











It is, too, Lilo.











The same thing


happened yesterday.











You rotten sister!


Your butt is crushing me!











Why do you act so weird?!











It's me again.











I need someone


to be my friend...











someone who won't run away.











Maybe send me an angel...











the nicest angel you have.











What we when hit?











There it is.











It stay jammed under the fender.











We better call somebody.











We're looking for something


that can defend itself...











something that won't die...











something sturdy, you know?











Like a lobster.











Lilo, you lolo.











Do we have a lobster door?











No. We have a dog door.











We are getting a dog.











So nice


to see your pretty face again!











Jumba?











We need your name and address


at the bottom of the form...











The kennel's back this way.











Go. Pick someone out.











Hello?











Hello?!











Are there any aminals in here?











Hello!











Hi.











Hoh... ha...











Hi...











Wow!











Oh, yes. Mm-hmm.











All of our dogs are adoptable.











Except that one!











What is that thing?!











A dog, I think.











But it was dead this morning.











It was dead this morning?!











Well, we thought it was dead.


It was hit by a truck.











I like him!


Come here, boy.











Oh! Aah!











Wouldn't you like


a different dog?











We have better dogs, dear.











Not better than him.











He can talk! Say hello.











He... Hel...











Dogs can't talk, dear.











He did.











Does it have to be this dog?











Yes, he's good.











I can tell.











You'll have to think of a name


for him.











His name is... Stitch.











Now, that's not a real name...











Hmm. Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh.











...in Iceland...


but here, it's a good name.











Stitch it is.











And there's


a two dollar license fee.











I want to buy him!











Can I borrow two dollars?











He's all yours.











You're all mine.











Well, what's he doing?











Shh! Keep quiet.











He's listening for us.











How good is his hearing?











I mean, can he...











Why don't you run?











Coming! I'm coming!











Stop!











I have just determined


this situation











to be far too hazardous!











Don't worry,


I won't hit her.











No! That girl is a part


of the mosquito food chain.











Here! Educate yourself.











Using a little girl


for a shield.











This is low, even for you!











Whoo-hoo!











Bah!











Tear him apart


with all both my bare hands!











Have you lost your mind?!











What is it, Stitch?











We cannot be seen!











Bad dog, barking at nothing!











You can't shoot,


and you can't be seen.











Look at you!











You look like a monster.











We have to blend in.











Okay, I got to get to work.











Stick around town and stay


out of the roads, okay?











I'll meet you at : .











Hmm?











Oh!











Ah!











Okay, I guess


we should be going.











What about Stitch?











My friends!











What do you want?











I'm sorry I bit you











and pulled your hair











and punched you in the face.











Apology not accepted.











Now get out of my way


before I run you over.











I got a new dog.


His name is Stitch.











That is the ugliest thing


I have ever saw.











-Yeah.


-Yeah.











Eww! Get it away from me!











I'm gonna get a disease!











Somebody do something!











Oh, great! He's loose.











His destructive programming


is taking effect.











He will be irresistibly


drawn to large cities











where he will back up sewers











reverse street signs and


steal everyone's left shoe.











It's nice to live on an island


with no large cities.











Are you okay?











Doo-doo... Doo-doo...











You can shake an apple


off an apple tree











Shake-a, shake-a, sugar,


but you'll never shake me











-Uh-uh-uh


-Doo-doo-doo











No, siree, uh-uh...











Uh-uh.











...Doo-doo-doo











Doo-doo-doo











I'm gonna stick like glue











Stick because I'm...











Stuck on you











I'm gonna run my fingers











Through your long, black hair...











Hey, over here,


little buddy.











...Squeeze you tighter


than a grizzly bear











-Uh-uh-uh


-Doo-doo-doo











Yes, siree, uh-huh











Doo-doo-doo,


Doo-doo-doo











I'm gonna stick like glue











Stick because I'm...











Stuck on you











Hide in the kitchen











Hide in the hall











Ain't gonna do you no good


at all











'Cause once I catch ya


and the kissin' starts











A team o' wild horses


couldn't tear us apart











Try to take a tiger


from his daddy's side...











When you're ready to give up


just let us know, heh?











Whee!











...Uh-uh-uh...











Yeah!











This is you.











This is your badness level.











It's unusually high


for someone your size.











We have to fix that.











Ay-yi-yi, Lilo!











Your dog cannot sit


at the table.











Stitch is troubled.


He needs desserts.











Oh, you didn't even eat


your sweet potato.











I thought you liked them.











Desserts!











David!











I got a new dog.











Oh! You sure it's a dog?











Uh-huh.











He used to be a collie


before he got ran over.











Yum!











Hey...











Blah!











Eww!











Howzit, Nani?











Did you catch fire again?











Nah, just the stage.











Listen, I was wondering











if you're not


doing anything this...











David, I told you, I can't. I...











I got a lot to deal with


right now.











I know. I just figured


you might need some time...











You smell like a lawn mower.











Look, I got to go.











The kid at table three's


throwing poi again.











Maybe some other time, okay?











Don't worry.











She likes your butt


and fancy hair.











I know. I read her diary.











She thinks it's fancy?











Blech!











Oh! Mmm!











Aha! Look what I find!











Get restraints!











Right.











Ow! Take that! Hurry!











Uh, hold still just a...











Aah!











Hey, Nani!











Is that your dog?











Uh...











All is well.











Please, go about your business.


I'm okay.











Oh, your head looks swollen.











Actually, she's just ugly.











Darling...











He's joking.











Ugly-- look at me...











Uh, this is not working out.











Uh, b-but...











Mm-mm.











Yeah?











Well, who wants to work


at this stupid...











fakey luau anyway.











Come on, Lilo.











Did you lose yourjob


because of Stitch and me?











Nah. The manager's a vampire











and he wanted me to join


his legion of the undead.











I knew it.











This is a great home.











You'll like it a lot.











See?











Uh, Lilo...











Comfy.











-Hey!


-Hey!











What is the matter with you?











Be careful of the little angel!











It's not an angel, Lilo.











I don't even think it's a dog.











We just have to take him back.











He's just cranky


because it's his bedtime.











He's creepy, Lilo.











I won't sleep


while he's loose in the house.











You're loose in the house


all the time











and I sleep just fine!











Hey, what are you doing?











Stop that, Stitch!











Hey!











Look at him, Lilo.











He's obviously mutated


from something else.











We have to take him back.











He was an orphan


and we adopted him!











What about O'hana?











He hasn't been here that long.











Neither have I.


Dad said O'hana means family.











Huh?











O'hana means family.











Family means...











...nobody gets left behind.











Or...?











Or forgotten.











I know. I know.











I hate it


when you use O'hana against me.











Mmm.











Don't worry, you can sleep


right next to me.











Look how curious the puppy is.











This is my room,


and this is your bed.











This is your dolly and bottle.











See? Doesn't spill.











I filled it with coffee.











Good puppy. Now get into bed.











Hey!











That's mine!











Down!











Mmm!











Be careful of that!











You don't touch this!











Don't ever touch it!











No! Don't pull on her head!











She's recovering from surgery.











No! That's from my blue period.











Mmm...











There.











You know, you wreck


everything you touch.











Why not try and make something


for a change?











Ah!











Wow. San Francisco.











Save me!











Eek!











No more caffeine for you.











This little girl is wasting


her time.











- - cannot be taught to ignore


its destructive programming.











Ooh!











Push that over.











What are you doing?











Nothing!











Uh, say, I want to try it on.











No!











Share! Let me try it!











Hey! Ow! You're justjealous


'cause I'm pretty!











Don't move.











A mosquito has chosen me


as her perch.











She's so beautiful.











Look, another one.











And another one!


Why, it's a whole flock.











And they like me!











They're nuzzling my flesh


with their noses.











Now they're, um, they're....











I think it might be a koala.











An evil koala.











I can't even pet it.











It keeps staring at me,


like it's going to eat me.











Hello?











Nani?











Hello?











Are you there?











Now, this is interesting.











What?











- - was designed


to be a monster











but now he has nothing


to destroy.











You see, I never gave him


a greater purpose.











What must it be like


to have nothing...











not even memories to visit











in the middle of the night?











Nah!











Hmm.











Hmm...











That's the Ugly Duckling.











See? He's sad


because he's all alone











and nobody wants him











but on this page,


his family hears him crying











and they find him.











Then the Ugly Duckling is happy











because he knows


where he belongs.











Hmm...











Want to listen to the King?











You look like an Elvis fan.











Nani.











Nani!











Uh... yeah?











Look.











We can't go on together











With suspicious minds...











...cious minds...











...can build our dreams...











...On suspicious minds...











Heard you lost yourjob.











Well, uh, actually,


I just quit thatjob











because, you know,


the hours are just not conducive











to the challenges


of raising a child...











Hey!











I am so sorry about that.











What is that thing?











That's my puppy.











Really?











Thus far, you have been adrift











in the sheltered harbor


of my patience











but I cannot ignore


you beingjobless.











Do I make myself clear?











Perfectly.











And next time I see this dog











I expect it to be


a model citizen... capisce?











Uh... yes?











New job.











Model citizen.











Good day.











You look like an angel...











Mrs. Hasagawa?











I'm here to answer


your newspaper ad.











Elvis Presley was


a model citizen.











...Walk like an angel...











I've compiled a list


of his traits











for you to practice.











Number one is dancing.











I can't talk now, dear.











I'm waiting for someone


to answer my ad.











That's why I'm here.











Hands on your hips.











Now follow my lead.











Ooh-hoo.











...You fooled me


with your kisses...











Ah! That's my want ad.











I know!











...Heaven knows


how you lied to me











You're not the way...











Whoa, whoa!











Why is everything so dark?











I am all about coffee.











Let's move on to step two.











...Walk like an angel...











Elvis played guitar. Here.











...Talk like an angel...











Hold it like this,


and put your fingers here.











See? Now you try.











...and I make great cappuccinos


and lattes with...











I wish I could, Nani,


but I just hired Teddy











and with tourist season


ending...











Concierge-er-ing is my life.











...You look like an angel...











I just love to answer phones...











This is the face of romance.











...Walk like an angel...











She looks like


she could use some lovin'.











...Talk like an angel,


but I got wise...











Oh, we might have something.











Good. Now kiss her.











...The devil in disguise...











I'm sure Elvis had


his bad days, too.











I'm all about saving people?











...I thought


that I was in heaven...











Actually, I do think


we have an opening.











Really?











Okay, this is it.











...But I was sure surprised...











Time to bring it all together.











Oh, that'd be so great!











You have no idea


how badly I need this job.











...The devil in your eyes











You're the devil in disguise...











It's all you!











Knock 'em dead!











...The devil in disguise











You're the devil in disguise...











Don't crowd him!











...Oh, yes, you are











The devil in disguise...











The devil in disguise,


oh, yes...











Hey, knock it off!











Hey, Lilo!











Howzit... Nani?











We've been having a bad day.











Hmm...











Hey, I might not be a doctor











but I know that there's


no better cure for a sour face











than a couple of boards


and some choice waves.











What you think?











I think that's a great idea.











-Aloha e, aloha e


-Aloha e, aloha e











-'Ano'ai ke aloha e


-'Ano'ai ke aloha e











-Aloha e, aloha e


-Aloha e, aloha e











'Ano'ai ke aloha e











'Ano'ai ke aloha e...











There's no place I'd rather be











Than on my surfboard out at sea











Lingering in the ocean blue











And if I had one wish come true











I'd surf till the sun sets


beyond the horizon











Awikiwiki, mai lohilohi

Mr. Pleakley, you are overdue.











I want a status report.











Oh, uh, things are going well.











He cannot swim!











Things are going well.











Jumba, aren't they going well?











Why will he risk drowning?











Jumba?











Jumba, help me out here.











I would have expected you back


by now, with - - in hand.











Just a few things left to pack

Hang up.

Lilo!











What happened?











Oh... some lolo must have


stuffed us in the barrel.











Where's Stitch?











Get off of her!











What happened?











Stitch dragged her down.











We lost Stitch!











Lilo? Lilo, look at me.











Look at me, baby.


Are you hurt?











No.











He's unconscious,


but I think he's alive.











David, take Lilo.











This isn't what it looks like.











We were...











It-It's just that...











I know you're trying, Nani











but you need to think


about what's best for Lilo...











even if it removes you


from the picture.











I'll be back tomorrow morning


for Lilo.











I'm sorry.











Nani? Is there something


I can do?











No, David.











Uh, I need


to take Lilo home now.











We have a lot to talk about,


Lilo.











Thanks.











You know, I really believed


they had a chance.











Then you came along.











Lilo, honey...











we have to, uh...











Don't worry.











You're nice, and someone


will give you a job.











I would.











Come here.











Aloha Oe, Aloha Oe











E ke onaona noho i ka lipo











One fond embrace, a ho'i a'e au











Until we meet again.











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.











O'hana 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.











L... L...











Lost.











I'm lost.











Help!











I don't like the ocean!











Oh, look,


a friendly little dolphin.











They helped sailors


in the war...











It's a shark!











It's a shark,


and it ain't friendly!











It looks like a dolphin.











Tricky fish! Tricky fish!











Oh, octopus, come and help me?











An octo... octopus is worse


than a shark!











I hate this planet!











Oh...











little monster!











Uh, Agent Pleakley here.











I have lost patience


with you both.











Have you captured - - or not?











Um...











Uh-uh...











Consider yourselves fired


and prisonbound.











Your incompetence is nothing


short of unspeakable!











But, uh... mm...











We're fired!











Now we do it my way!











Your way?











Oh... uh, wait!











It seems I have overestimated


Jumber and Blinkley.











Uh, Jumba and Pleakley.











Whatever. The mission


is in jeopardy.











This could be your chance to


redeem yourself, Captain Gantu.











How soon will you be prepared


to leave?











Immediately.











Don't run.











Don't make me shoot you.











You were expensive.











Yes. Yes, that's it.











Come quietly.











Mm... waiting.











For what?











Family.











Ah!











You don't have one.











I made you.











Oh... maybe I could...











You're built to destroy.











You can never belong.











Now come quietly


and we will take you apart.











No, no, no, no,


don't, don't run!











Don't run!











Lilo.











I didn't hear you get up.











Baby, what's wrong?











Stitch left.











Really?











It's good he's gone.











He didn't want to be here,


anyway.











We don't need him.











Lilo...











sometimes you try your hardest











but things don't work out


the way you want them to.











Sometimes things have to change











and maybe sometimes


they're for the better...











even if...











Nani!











David!











I think I found you a job.











You what?!











Old man Kukhkini's store,


but we got to hurry.











Oh, um, okay. Lilo?











Baby, this is really important.











I need you to stay here


for a few minutes.











I'm going to be right back.











Lock the door and don't


answer it for anyone, okay?











Things are finally


turning around.











Aw, David, I owe you one.











That's okay.











You can just date me,


and we'll call it even.











Come back here, you little...!











Stitch?











What is it?











Shh!











Oh, hiding


behind your little friend











won't work anymore.











Didn't I tell you?











We got fired this morning.











New rules.











Ha!











Ooh.











Oh, ooh! Ow! Ow! Ow!











You ain't nothin'


but a hound dog...











What are we going to do?











...Cryin' all the time...











Ooh! I love this song!











Pliers.











Screwdriver.











Check.











Come out, my friend











from whomever


you're hiding behind.











...Well, you ain't never


caught a rabbit











And you ain't no friend


of mine...











What the...?











Ooh!











Come on!











What's the big deal?











I'll put you


back together again.











I'll make you taller


and not so fluffy!











I like fluffy!











No... No...











No!











Oh, leave my mother


out of this!











You could do with a makeover.











I tried


to give you my good looks











but let's face it,


something went wrong.











No!











Quick! Follow me!











If we make it to...











You're alive!











They're all over the place!











Running away? Here...











let me stop you.











You always get


in the way!











Where's the girl?











What have you done


to the girl?











Hello? Cobra Bubbles?











Aliens are attacking my house.











No, no, no!


No aliens!











Blue punch buggy!











No punch back.











They want my dog!











There's no need


to alert the authorities.











Everything's under control.











Lilo, who was that?











Oh, good,


my dog found the chainsaw.











Lilo! Don't hang...!











Ha!











You shouldn't play with guns.











Oh, okay.











Thank you.











Oh, I just remembered.


It's your birthday!











Happy birthday!











Merry Christmas!











It's not Christmas.











Happy Hanukkah!











We're leaving Stitch?











Trust me.











This is not going to end well.











-One potato.


-Two potato.











-Three potato.


-Four.











-Five potato.


-Six potato.











Seven potato, more.











My... mother... told... me...











you... are... it.











Oh, I win!











Thanks. Mahalo plenty.











You won't be disappointed.











I'll show up early to help


with the morning deliver...











Oh, don't turn left.











No.











One of them had a giant eye


in the middle of his face.











Oh, Lilo!











Please don't do this.











You know I have no choice.











No! You're not taking her!











I'm the only one


who understands her!











You take that away,


she won't stand a chance!











You're making this harder


than it needs to be.











But you don't know


what you're doing! She needs me!











Is this what she needs?!











It seems clear to me


that you need her











a lot more than she needs you.











Lilo! Lilo!











-Lilo!


-Lilo!











Lilo!











-Lilo!


-Lilo!











You ruined everything.











You're one of them?











Ooh!











Get out of here, Stitch.











Surprise!











And here I thought


you'd be difficult to catch.











Ho-ho-ho. Silly me.











Lilo?











Lilo!











There you go,


all buckled up for the trip.











And look-- I even caught you


a little snack.











No! Stop!











Lilo.











Aah!











Okay, talk.











I know you had something


to do with this.











Now where is Lilo?











Talk! I know you can.











Okay, okay.











Where's Lilo?











Lilo...











Now all your washing is up!











You're under arrest!











Read him his rights.











Listen carefully.











Hello? Galactic Command?











Experiment 626 is in custody.











We'll wait right here.











Huh?











Don't interact with her.











Where's Lilo?











Who?











What?!











Lilo... my sister.











Uh, sorry, we do not know











anyone by this, uh...











Lilo! She's a little girl--


this big!











She has black hair


and brown eyes











and she hangs around


with that thing!











Uh...











We know her.











Bring her back.











Oh, we can't do that. Uh-uh.











That would be a misuse


of Galactic resources.











See, problem is...


we're just here for him.











So she's gone?











Look at the bright side.











You won't have to yell


at anyone anymore.











Come.











O'hana.











Huh?











Hey! Get away from her.











No! What did you say?











O'hana means family.











Family means...











...nobody gets left behind.











Or forgotten.











Yeah.











Hey...











What?!


After all you put me through











you expect me to help you


just like that?!











Just like that?!











Ih.











Fine.











Fine?


You're doing what he says?











Uh, he's very persuasive.











Persuasive?!


What exactly are we doing?











Rescue.











We're going to get Lilo?











Ih.











Oh, good! I was hoping


to add theft, endangerment











and insanity to my list


of things I did today.











You, too?











Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah!











What? Did you think


we walked here?











This is Gantu, requesting


hyperspace clearance.











Stand by for clearance.











Clearance is granted


on vector C- .











Connect me


to the Grand Councilwoman.











Gantu, what's going on?











I thought you'd like to know











that the little abomination


is... is...











Yes, Captain?











I'll call you back.











How did you get out of there?











So what exactly are we doing?











Don't worry,


is all part of plan.











We are professionals.











Hey! Get that out of your mouth!











Hold on!











Okay, is show time!











This is it!











Go! Go! Go!











Little savage!


Get off my ship!











Stitch!











Computer,


locate Experiment 626.











626 located.











We finish this now.











Stitch is unconscious.











What do we do now?











We stay close.











Hope for a miracle.











That's all we can do.











No!











Don't leave me, okay?











Okay.











Okay.











Okay.











Target - - is in motion.











Speed is .











Impossible!











Stitch!











Hmm?











Abomination.











Stupidhead.











Yee-haw!











Aloha!











You're vile! You're foul!


You're flawed!











Also cute and fluffy!











You came back.











Nobody gets left behind.











Lilo!











Good dog.











Auwe!











David!











Hey, Lilo.











Can you give us a ride


to shore?











Uh...











Sure!











But I have to make two trips.











So you're from outer space, huh?











I heard the surfing's choice.











We have - - .











Take him to my ship.











Leave him alone.











Hold on.











Grand Councilwoman,


let me explain.











Silence!











I am retiring you,


Captain Gantu.











Actually, credit for the capture


goes to...











Goes to me.











You'll be lucky if you end up


on a Fluff Trog farm











after we sort this thing out.











Uh...











I think I should...











You!











You're the cause of all this!











If it wasn't


for your Experiment 626











none of this...











Stitch.











What?











My name Stitch.











Stitch, then.











If it wasn't for Stitch....











Does Stitch have to go


in the ship?











Yes.











Can Stitch say good-bye?











Yes.











Thank you.











Who are you?











This is my family.











I found it all on my own.











It's little and broken...











but still good.











Yeah. Still good.











Does he really have to go?











You know as well as I


that our laws are absolute.











I cannot change


what the Council has decided.











Lilo, didn't you buy


that thing at the shelter?











Hey!











Three days ago,


I bought Stitch at the shelter.











I paid two dollars for him.











See this stamp? I own him.











If you take him,


you're stealing.











Aliens are all about rules.











You look familiar.











CIA. Roswell. .











Ah, yes. You had hair then.











Take note of this.











This creature has been sentenced


to life in exile











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.











I was afraid


you were going to say that.











This won't be easy to explain


back at headquarters.











I know what you mean.











Don't let those two


get on my ship.











CIA?











Former.











Saved the planet once.











Convinced an alien race


that mosquitoes











were an endangered species.











Now, about your house...











Wait.











Lord Almighty,


I feel my temperature rising





Ooh





Higher and higher





It's burning through to my soul





Baby, baby, baby





You're gonna set me on fire





Yeah





My brain is flaming





I don't know which way to go





Yeah





'Cause your kisses


lift me higher





Like the sweet song of a choir





You light my morning sky





With burning love





Mmm... ooh, ooh, ooh





I feel my temperature rising





Mmm





Help me, I'm flaming





I must be a hundred and nine





Burning, burning, burning





And nothing can cool me





Mmm





I just might turn into smoke





But I feel fine, yeah





'Cause your kisses


lift me higher





Like a sweet song of a choir





And you light my morning sky





With burning love





Burning love





Mmm





Burning love





It's coming closer





The flames are


now licking my body





Won't you help me?





I feel like I'm slipping away





Oh, yeah





It's hard to breathe





And my chest is just a-heaving





Mmm, mmm





Lord have mercy,


it's burning a hole in me





Yeah





'Cause your kisses


lift me higher





Like the sweet song of a choir





You light my morning sky





With burning love





Burning love





Burning love!





Burning love





I'm just a hunk,

I'm just a hunk, a hunk


of burning love





I'm just a hunk,


a hunk of burning...





Love.








Do, do, do








I just can't help


falling in love with you











Wise men say











Only fools rush in











But I can't help











Falling in love with you











Shall I stay?











Would it be a sin?











If I can't help











Falling in love with you











Like a river flows to the sea











So it goes,


some things are meant to be











Some things are meant to be











Take my hand











Take my whole life too











For I can't help











Falling in love with you











Wise men say











Only fools rush in











But I can't, I can't help











Falling in love with you











Take my hand











Take my whole life too











But I can't help











Falling in love with you











Oh, I can't help











Falling in love











Falling in love with you











That's the way love goes











That's the way it goes











And my whole life, too











I just can't help


fallin' in love with you











That's the way love goes











I just can't help myself











So falling, baby, for you











Falling in love with you











That's the way love goes











That's the way it goes











'Cause I can't help











Falling in love with you











With you...

Pulled Hamstring? Experiences and treatments?

I was roller skating last night annd some kid threw his shoe out on the floor in front of me and i tripped on it and fell, pulling my hamstring- it is sore and hurts just about any time i move it. I know it is my hamstring, the muscle one stretches when doing toe touches. Should I use "RICE" -Rest, Ice, Compression Elevation- or heating pad, or will it just take time? any personal experiences appreciated please. Thanks.

Pulled Hamstring? Experiences and treatments?
I have had ALOT of experience with a pulled hamstring (I'm a track runner and pulled my hamstring last season) and what i did is ice it alot, massage it, stretch it alittle everyday (but not too much). Once it starts feeling better to the point where you can walk normally on it again, start doing exercises to strengthen it again, like simply standing up straight and bending your knee so your foot and the lower part of your leg is behind you.





Also, make sure other muscles around your hamstring are strong and stretched, such as your quad. Once you get back to your regular activities, it might hurt for about a week, but take about a weekend off and try again, and you'll feel as good as new.
Reply:You have the answer...RICEfor the first 48 hours. I'd then alternate the ice with a heating pad and see what feels better.


I've injured my hamstrings quite a few times. It does take time to heal. When it starts to feel alittle better start to do some stretches--sitting down and reaching toward your toes or placing your hands against the wall and streching your legs out.


If you are young and in good physical shape to begin with--all the sooner you will heal. The problem with hamstring injuries is that they tend to recur that's why it's so important to stretch.


GOOD LUCK



cat skin problem

Are there any in-line skates or Rollerblades that transform into a shoe?

Ok here is my dilemma, I work as a walking messenger in a major city. I always thought that roller blades would get my job done a lot faster.. But the main problem I'm not allowed to bring Rollerblades into office building or the Subway or Buses.





What I need is a pair of rollerblades that can easily detach from the shoe part so I can do my job faster.

Are there any in-line skates or Rollerblades that transform into a shoe?
I got the perfect pair, but they arnt cheap. http://secure.rollerwarehouse.com/item/X... you put on this shoe, than you put the shoe into the rollerblade and velcro and clip them together than you can skate.
Reply:heelys will do the job great. you can purchase them at academy sporting goods( www.academy.com ) big 5, or from the company itself, heres the website www.heelys.com, if the site is not found just go to ebay, or google and type in "heelys", and you should get your answer.


hope that helps! p.s. their a little hard to use at first, also you insert the wheels right at the heel, and be sure not to step with your heel.

Of course my first instinct was


to toss him out the door.


But the chance to teach him a lesson


made me think a little more.


I mulled it over carefully,


I couldn't let this go.


A smile crept upon my face,


he's messing with a pro.


Next day I took him shopping at the local Goodwill Store..


I told him, 'Pick out all you want,


there's shirts %26amp; pants galore.


I've called and checked with C.S.D .


who said they didn't care


if I bought you K-Mart shoes


instead of Nike Airs.


I've canceled that appointment


to take your driver's test.


The C.S.D. is unconcerned


so I'll decide what's best.'


I said 'No time to stop and eat,


or pick up stuff to munch.


And tomorrow you can start to learn


to make your own sack lunch.


Just save the raging appetite,


and wait till dinner time.


We're having liver and onions,


a favorite dish of mine.'


He asked 'Can I please rent a movie,


to watch on my VCR?'


'Sorry, but I sold your TV,


for new tires on my car.


I also rented out your room,

Mom's Reply and Thoughts





Of course my first instinct was


to toss him out the door.


But the chance to teach him a lesson


made me think a little more.





I mulled it over carefully,


I couldn't let this go.


A smile crept upon my face,


he's messing with a pro.





Next day I took him shopping


at the local Goodwill Store..


I told him, 'Pick out all you want,


there's shirts %26amp; pants galore.





I've called and checked with C.S.D .


who said they didn't care


if I bought you K-Mart shoes


instead of Nike Airs.





I've canceled that appointment


to take your driver's test.


The C.S.D. is unconcerned


so I'll decide what's best.'





I said 'No time to stop and eat,


or pick up stuff to munch.


And tomorrow you can start to learn


to make your own sack lunch.





Just save the raging appetite,


and wait till dinner time.


We're having liver and onions,


a favorite dish of mine.'





He asked 'Can I please rent a movie,


to watch on my VCR?'


'Sorry, but I sold your TV,


for new tires on my car.


I also rented out your room,


you'll take the couch instead.


The C.S.D. requires


just a roof over your head.





Your clothing won't be trendy now,


I'll choose what we eat.


That allowance that you used to get,


will buy me something neat.





I'm selling off your jet ski,


dirt-bike %26amp; roller blades.


Check out the 'Parents Bill of Rights',


It's in effect today!





Hey hot shot, are you crying,


Why are you on your knees?


Are you asking God to help you out,


instead of C.S.D..?'





from a MOM (Mean Old Mother)"

Who wants to share this with me?!?
Some people just can't take a joke can they? Boo hiss to them!





Yes it comes as a shock to the kids when they realise that all the stuff mum used to do for them without question, they now have to do for themselves. When my daughter left college and got a job was aghast when I refused to give her pocket money as usual and when I said I was kind of expecting some money off her now I was the worst mother in the world!





I dunno. I coughed up my board to my parents every week without fail and I was still expected to do chores etc. Wouldn't have it any other way. It's only fair. My daughter realises now just how expensive it is to run a home as she has her own home now and her attitude is exactly the opposite of what it was. Do we do too much for our kids these days? Think we might.......
Reply:When I was young my kids did exactly what I said


And if they did not like it I sent them straight to bed.





Wow I'm a poet and don't know it .

Reply:it was amazing faith of yours !
Reply:An excellent poem. I love it.
Reply:To the rather eloquent teenager above: Just you wait until you have children! Then let's see what you have to say.


And the suffragettes managed very well, for a bunch of repressed, well behaved, well brought up women.


Had to laugh, Faith. I sneakily use a lot of these in my day-to-day discipline.
Reply:class!!
Reply:Sophic, your pretty full of yourself aren't you.


You a Lesbian?


To even insinuate a Mother can't show her child affection is ludicris to say the least. You as a (so-called journalist) did not judge the poem on it's construction, you judged it on your on set of morals, the very morals that you say this writer cannot force upon her son. yet you try to force them on the gentle readers of the forum. She was not being abusive, she was teaching the son a life lesson and I bet he got the point too!


Showing him that sometimes you have to earn respect before it is granted to you.


I'm glad you grew up in a family that supported you, but some kids don't have that luxury. Your parents worked hard to give you what you have.


Don't be so judgemental of others. especially if your going to be a journalist. You must be Objective in your reporting. not bias. Tell the truth, but do not put your slant on it. just report what the event was.





As for the Poem by MOM


I thought it was splendid.


When you show them what it would be like out in the Big Bad World on their own, they sing a very different tune. Nothing wrong with taking away the comforts as a punishment. After all that is the only recourse the courts and Liberal Congress have allowed us as parents. Everything else is considered child abuse.
Reply:That's true, to me it imply's this generation doesn't think twice.
Reply:To answer your putative question:


No, I would not like to share this with you.





As a *gasp* teenager, I realize that I'm not exactly the target demographic for this, but seeing as you don't seem to have attracted a plethora of responses, I figured I'd chime in.





First, I thought I'd respond to your statement that this piece is considered "newsworthy."





I'm currently in journalism school, and I've learned in my classes that there are several characteristics that make up the quality of newsworthiness:


Very obviously, I would think, for something to be considered newsworthy, it must be news. This is not news, as it does not actually relate any event. It's just an arguably cute poem (other arguments may include "nauseatingly awful").


Another important quality for newsworthiness is timeliness - that is, a story should be current and relevant. As


a) Parents have been complaining about their children since the Ancient Greeeks


and


b) This poem mentions "VCR"s, which are no longer commonly in use


I have to conclude that this standard is not met either.





So, let's conclude that this is not exactly a piece of newsworthy, hard-hitting journalism, shall we?





Now, to the actual points that are being presented. First of all, many of them do not seem to be to be particularly radical. Hitting someone who is smaller, weaker, and unable to fight back constitutes child abuse. I don't know anyone who thinks that spanking a teenager is acceptable. Forcing physical affection on someone who does not want it constitutes sexual abuse.





By the time your children are teenagers, they have the right to form their own political, moral, and religious opinions, and to choose how they wish to behave in these arenas. If you've failed to convince them that your ideas are right, perhaps you're not a particularly effective teacher.





Children do indeed have freedom of speech. They are not excluded from the Bill of Rights on the basis of their age. As for the idea that children should be allowed to have their own THOUGHTS - that someone would think that is unacceptable is horrifying. Parents are supposed to be guides, not dictators, and the American ideal of freedom and independence should begin in the home.





Of course it is a parent's right to discipline a child by taking away privileges. However, I find the idea of a parent purposely spiting a child in a childish attempt to exact revenge for his or her declaring some measure of independence revolting, rather than amusing. I can't imagine what sort of mother would take smug pleasure from reducing her teenage son to tears.





To top it off, the poem is not exactly a masterpiece. If your message is that weak, you should at least stick to a rhyme scheme. Possibly, the writer's teenage son really was smart enough to put her in her place.





Sorry to rant for so long, but treacly tripe like this touches a nerve in me. I'll end with a positive thought and thank you for reminding me how blessed I am to have parents who respect and appreciate me, and who have treated me so that I respect and appreciate them. They are truly a source of inspiration for me and two of my best friends - and I'm glad that my mother is nothing like the one portrayed in this poem.





To end with a few apropos quotes:





"Recently a young mother asked for advice. What, she wanted to know, was she to do with a 7-year-old who was obstreperous, outspoken, and inconveniently willful? "Keep her," I replied.... The suffragettes refused to be polite in demanding what they wanted or grateful for getting what they deserved. Works for me." - Anna Quindlen





" Your children are not your children.


They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.


They come through you but not from you,


And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.





You may give them your love but not your thoughts,


For they have their own thoughts.


You may house their bodies but not their souls,


For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,


which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.


You may strive to be like them,


but seek not to make them like you.


For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.





You are the bows from which your children


as living arrows are sent forth.


The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,


and He bends you with His might


that His arrows may go swift and far.


Let our bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;


For even as He loves the arrow that flies,


so He loves also the bow that is stable."


-Kahlil Gibran

How many of you thought this way!!!! (Funny)?

Haha i remember i used to think this way...





I love it!!!





Poem to MOM





My son came home from school one day,


With a smirk upon his face.


He decided he was smart enough,


To put me in my place.





"Guess what I learned in Civics Two,


that's taught by Mr. Wright?


It's all about the laws today,


The 'Children's Bill of Rights.'





It says I need not clean my room,


Don't have to cut my hair


No one can tell me what to think,


Or speak, or what to wear.





I have freedom from religion,


And regardless what you say,


I don't have to bow my head,


And I sure don't have to pray.





I can wear earrings if I want,


And pierce my tongue %26amp; nose.


I can read %26amp; watch just what I like,


Get tattoos from head to toe.





A nd if you ever spank me,


I'll charge you with a crime.


I'll back up all my charges,


With the marks on my behind.





Don't you ever touch me,


My body's only for my use,


Not for your hugs and kisses,


that's just more child abuse.





Don't preach about your morals,


Like your Mama did to you.


That's nothing more than mind control,


And it's illegal too!





Mom, I have these children's rights,


So you can't influence me,


Or I'll call Children's Services Division,


Better known as C.S.D."
