Resolved Question: 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.

Oh, hold on, Mom–

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
and, uh, we’ll be…

Hang up.

We are going swimming.

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

Mmm, mmm

Lord have mercy,
it’s burning a hole in me

Yeah

‘Cause your kisses

Five Easy Steps to Buying New Construction

Have you been looking at buying new construction? A new home can be extremely desirable-you’re the first to live in the home and everything is new. That said, it’s up to you to make a lot of decisions about this new house. If you make the right decisions, you may have a wonderful house for you and your family that may have great resale value down the road.

1. Location, Location, Location. Location is one thing you have to get right the first time. Once you buy it, you really can’t move your house. Be confident that you’re in a neighborhood where you want to live and which will give you resale opportunities down the road. While nobody’s resources are unlimited, you may want to consider a slightly nicer area over a larger house to place yourself in a better and more desirable community. This can not only help you today at 10 or 20 years from now when you look to resell.

2. Decide What You may Spend. Work with a qualified mortgage expert to help you assess your budget and spending capabilities. You may decide to work with a mortgage broker yet; you may be able to work with your local bank to help determine your needs even before you’re ready to move forward. Basically, it’s not what you pay for the home-it’s what you can afford and monthly payments between the mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance and living expenses. Your credit score, income and down payment have a tremendous effect on these numbers. For example, new construction in Commack New York will cost between $1 million and $1.1 million. The amount of monthly payments will change wildly based on the down payment and credit worthiness of the borrower.

3. Look at the Experience of the Builder. Does the builder do communities one home at a time? Does the builder have years of experience or is this one of his or her first projects? While a individual builder can be somewhat cheaper, you get what you pay for. That builder may be out of business in six months or unable to finish the home in the time permitted. New homes should come with warranties, and if the builder is not a random two years from now, who do you turn to? An experienced builder who works on multiple houses will have bigger crews and should be able to work at a steadier pace. For the solo builder, construction can stop if he is waiting for a plumber or contractor, whereas a larger builder can have more crew members available.

4. What conveniences you want in your house ? Look at what’s selling well in the market. If most houses have central air conditioning and a finished basement and the homes you are considering buying do not, it may be a bargain today, but will be hard to resell in the future. We’re not suggesting that you need every bell and whistle that is of no interest to you, but as you consider a new construction, be sure it has the “essentials.”

5. Look at the property. Is it a big enough piece for you to live with? Just like the location, you can’t change the size and shape of your property. True, you may landscape and grade it, but that won’t fix the basic size and shape constraints. One acre of property is great, but if 80% of the home is on a heavily wooded slope that is unusable, you are really left with 2/10 of an acre. The more usable space you have, the more benefit you may get from it and the easier it should be to resell.

Keep these things in mind as you start to look at new construction, and you should be able to narrate choices to one which can suit your needs for long-term and help you down the road when the time comes to sell.

Marketing For Realtors – The Different Types

When you have a real estate company you will want to promote it as much as you can to get clients. These should be clients that have houses and apartments to sell, as well as clients that want to purchase property. Here are some different kinds of marketing for realtors that you can use to get more clients.

Newspaper and Magazine Listings: When you have a large list of properties for sale, one of the best ways to make them known is to take out an advert in the local newspaper or a community magazine. This can list all the properties you have as well as give details about your company. Once people see your company in the newspaper and magazines they trust your name.

Flyers: You can also do flyer drops in your area. You can create a professional flyer with a company and this can detail your properties, or it can just be a general one about your company. You can also include useful information like emergency numbers that people can keep. You can even create magnets so that people will stick them to the fridge to keep and always have your number at hand.

Email Brochures and Newsletters: If you have a large contact list on email you can send out various email newsletters about your company or property brochures. These will be easily read by people and you can ask them to be forwarded on to other people’s contacts. In this way you will create a good exposure for your company amongst your family and friends as well as past and current clients.

Branding: Branding is a great way to promote your business. You can brand your vehicle, your office, and various other things. You can create promotional products like key rings and caps for people, or other things that you can hand out to clients or give away at events.

Online Marketing: There are lots of different ways to market your business online. This can involve creating a website that ranks highly in the search engines. It can also involve writing articles, joining forums, posting comments on blogs and using links to your websites. You can also place your information in business directories, on classified websites and more.

Real Estate Boards: One of the most effective ways to get clients is through using your real estate boards. These for sale signs and sold signs will be branding, but also give people a good feeling about your company. It makes people see that you are working and that you are making sales. You can also place these boards in public areas where more people will see them, directing to your open houses, so that you can get more people coming to view. Even if they don’t buy, you will still have made a contact for future.

Home Equity Loans in a Nutshell

If you are on the market and are wanting to get a home equity loan, then it is important that you cover your grounds before agreeing to any terms. In most cases, lenders will often sell homes for the amount owed on the property if the homeowner falls behind on payments.

So think about that reason that you wanted to take out the home equity loan, and you should go over everything that you possibly can to ensure that you will be able to pay back the lender. Some reasons that people will take out a home equity loan are for home improvement projects, debt consolidation, or maybe a new boat or car.

There are many types of home equity loans that can be taken out. You will see that most of the lenders out there will offer the repayment from 10 to 30 years.

First, the lenders make their money with interest, and then apply the remaining monthly installment toward the loan; thus it will most likely take every bit of the time of the term to repay the debt.

As soon as you take out the home equity loan, you will repay capital and in the agreement, you will agree to pay the interest on the capital. Thus, you are paying in one monthly installment for interest and capital. Few mortgage lenders permit repayments of interest only, however, these kinds of loans can cause you to lose your home over time, since once you start paying the principle or capital you may have changes in your financial situation.

There are 2 different kind of agreements when it comes to the interest only equity mortgages in most cases. One of these agreements will be for the capital payments while the other one will be for interest payments.

Therefore, you should research and think carefully before deciding on equity loans. If you select the wrong interest payments, you may find yourself paying off interest only for years before you ever start cracking the principal amount.

Remember, the more lenders that you sit down and talk to the more options you will actually see that you have. Be smart with your money especially when taking out a home equity loan of some sort as it can hurt you in the long run if not planned properly.

Basic Information For A Perfect Basement Wall System

Adding a basement to your home can prove to be functional and useful. It can be a place for relaxation and entertainment. You can also have your children use a corner as play pen.

There are many ways to maximize the use of your basement. Practically everything you can think of. But before all the convenience and comfort take place, it is important to put some investment on your basement wall system. By investment, it means both time and money.

For a safe and secure basement wall system, here are some items that you must know and ensure that they are present in a well prepared and constructed basement:

1. External insulation. You will have to do a lot of digging. This is because the soil outside of your house is in contact to your basement walls. You will have to insulate that surface area where your wall is exposed to the damp earth. Check some utilities that may be placed in these areas. These are things like gas, hydro, telephone, water, sewage. Ensure their safety and maintenance. Insulating your exterior walls prevents heat loss in your basement. All this can be overwhelming if you?re new to this business. You may want to consult or hire a professional to do the external basement wall system for you. Or you may do it yourself. But just be sure to do it right. Otherwise, you might have to dig extensively again in the future.

2. The Inner Insulation – The interior walls must also be insulated. This is because air leaks in very easily. The air is cold outside. You have no control over that. But you do have control over preventing air flow to come in. A good basement wall system for internal insulation does that. Usually, this type uses fiberglass materials layered in your walls. Some would use foam type or plastic fixtures. This may cost you but it?s a worthy investment. You don?t want to have a cold basement room, do you?

3. Waterproofing the Basement – Your basement must be free from molds, mildew, bacteria and all other fungus that will start spreading in. It will make your basement smell bad. And since these molds are not easy to find, you?ll have a hard time figuring out where it?s coming from. When this happens, nobody wants to stay in your basement anymore. So this is basement waterproofing comes in. Some basements have rubber plastic adhesive solutions layered in joints and walls to prevent moisture to set in. You may also want to check other basement wall system options in waterproofing. Just make sure they?re safe.

Your basement’s interior design may be how you’ve always dreamed it. It?s very cozy, well lit and probably the most livable place in your home. But if you a poor basement wall system, chances are you won?t be enjoying its benefits for long.

What Is A 1031 Exchange In Plain English?

For those who do not understand what a 1031 exchange is, but you have heard of it and would like to know what it is now is your chance. Also, I will do my best to explain it in very simple terms so that no matter your background you will be able to understand it and how you can benefit from it.

Before you can understand how a 1031 exchange works, you should first understand why they exist. They exist so that people can avoid losing money in form of capital gains tax when they sell one property with the intent to reinvest the proceeds immediately. A 1031 exchange makes it possible to defer the capital gains taxes. The term 1031 actually comes from the IRS code. The reason this was created was to encourage people to continue to reinvest their profits, thus helping the economy.

So now that you understand the purpose, you should understand a little bit about how it works. First, you are required by law to have what is called a QI. This is a 3rd party that is independent and serves as a Qualified Intermediary (hence QI). They are there to hold the profits from the sale of the first property that you sale until you invest it into another property(s).

Next, there are some guidelines about what qualifies for a 1031 exchange. 1031 exchanges involve property. Generally, this would refer to single family rental units, multi-family rental units, office buildings, storage facilities, raw land, retail shopping centers, and industrial facilities. There are some things that are excluded from 1031 exchanges and you can find those by asking a QI about them.

Second, the move from one property to another has to be of like kind. This does not refer to the condition or value of the properties, but rather that they are similar in character or nature. They (referring to all properties involved) must also be held for productive use in trade or business or held for investment purposes.

Keep in mind that this involves the IRS (1031 actually refers to the number of IRS code that this comes from) and as such, of course will have a lot of rules and regulations. You should seek professional consultation on the specifics pertaining to your circumstances. However, there general guidelines will help you to understand some of the basics.

1- The value of the new property must be of equal or greater value than the one you are selling. 2- The equity of the new property must also be of equal or greater value than the one you are selling. 3- The debt on the new property must be equal or greater to the debt on the property that you are selling. 4- ALL of the net profits from the property that you are selling must be used to acquire the new property.

There are also some timeline issues that you will want to be aware of. First, in order to successfully qualify for a 1031 exchange, you will need to identify a new property by the 45th calendar day from the time of the closing on the relinquished property. (There are guidelines about that too – see a professional) Second, you need to close on the new property by the 180th calendar day from the time of the closing on the relinquished property. Hopefully this helps. Please call a professional when you are getting ready to consider a 1031 exchange.

What is US Dollar Index?

The US Dollar Index is used by traders to get the big picture of the overall trend of the dollar. It is widely quoted in the press and on quote services. The US Dollar Index is traded on the New York Board of Trade at Finex and at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME).

The Federal Reserve Board had introduced the US Dollar Index in 2003. The index is the result of the Smithsonian Agreement that had replaced the Bretton Woods Agreement. The US Dollar Index is similar to the Feds Dollar Index which is a trade weighted index. The Fed gives value to each individual currency in the index based on how much it trades with the US.

However, the value of each index is different and it should not be confused with one another. The minimum tick on the US Dollar Index is 0.1 and equals $10. The futures contract expires on March, June, September and December.

Delivery is physical and means that you receive dollars based on the value of the index. Delivery is made on the second business day during the month of the expiring contract prior to the third Wednesday. The overall value of the futures contract on the index is 1,000 times the value of the index in dollars. Suppose the value of the index is 80. Its value in dollars will be $ 8,000.

Delivery day is the third Wednesday of the contract month. No trading limits are placed on the US Dollar Index. Trading hours are from 8.05 AM to 3:00 PM with the overnight trading from 7 PM to 10 PM.

The US Dollar Index was modified at the inception of the Euro and is weighted in a way thats similar to the Feds trade weighted index as follows: Euro 57.6%, JPY 13.6%, GBP 11.9%, CAD 9.1%, Krona 4.2% and CHF 3.6%. The US Dollar Index is best used as an indicator of trends in the currency markets.

However, you must keep this in your mind that the US Dollar Index is not as good a trading vehicle as the individual currencies. The best way to trade the index is by using the currency mutual funds. One of the secrets of knowing trading success is understanding what kind of personality you have. Are you weak nerved or strong nerved.

Spot forex trading is not for the weak nerved. If you are afraid of taking a coffee or bathroom break for the fear the market will move against you and in a blink of an eye you will end up with a margin call, then you need to invest in currency mutual funds based on US Dollar Index and relax.

You are taking away the big part of the risk involved in trading currencies by trading these currency mutual funds. You can have a pretty good idea as to how your fund is going to close at the end of the day if you check the dollar index a few times during the day.
