Quotes 

• Lilo : Did you lose your job because of Stitch and me?

  Nani : Nah. The manager's a vampire. He wanted me to join his legion of the undead.

  Lilo : I knew it!

• Nani : You are so finished when I get in there! I'm gonna stuff you in the blender, push "puree," then bake you into a pie and feed it to the social worker! And when he says, "Mmmm, this is great, what's your secret?" I'm gonna say...

  [Mr. Bubbles hooks his foot around hers and pulls her away from the dog-door] 

  Nani : ...Love... and... nurturing...

• Nani : CIA?

  Mr. Cobra Bubbles : Former. Saved the planet once. Convinced an alien race mosquitoes were an endangered species.

• Nani : Lilo! There you are, honey face! This is Mr..."Bubbles".

  Mr. Cobra Bubbles : Nice to meet you.

  Lilo : Your knuckles say "cobra"..."Cobra Bubbles"... you don't *look* like a social worker.

  Mr. Cobra Bubbles : I'm a special classification.

  Lilo : Did you ever kill anyone?

  Mr. Cobra Bubbles : We're getting off the subject. Let's talk about you. Are you... happy?

  Lilo : I'm adjusted.

  [Repeats what Nani is signing to her behind Bubbles' back] 

  Lilo : I eat all four food groups, and look both ways before crossing the street... and take long naps...

  [Nani pumps her fist in triumph] 

  Lilo : and get disciplined?

  Mr. Cobra Bubbles : Disciplined?

  Lilo : Yeah! She disciplines me real good.

  [Nani holds out here hand in "stop" gesture] 

  Lilo : Sometimes five times a day! With bricks!

  Mr. Cobra Bubbles : Bricks?

  Lilo : Uh huh... in a pillow case...

  Nani : Okay, that's enough sugar for you! Why don't you run along now, you little cutie. The other social workers just thought she was a scream. Thirsty?

  Mr. Cobra Bubbles : 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.

• Lilo : A falling star... I call it! Get out, get out! I have to make a wish!

  [Pushes Nani out of her room] 

  Lilo : Can't you go any faster?

  Nani : Oh no! Gravity is increasing on me!

  [Nani begins to fall on Lilo] 

  Lilo : No, it's not!

  Nani : Is too, Lilo, the same thing happened yesterday!

  Lilo : You rotten sister, your butt is crushing me! Why do you act so weird?

• Lilo : We're a broken family, aren't we?

  Nani : No... Maybe, a little. Maybe a lot. I shouldn't have yelled at you.

  Lilo : We're sisters. It's our job.

  Nani : Yeah, well, from now on...

  Lilo : I like you better as a sister than a mom.

  Nani : Yeah?

  Lilo : [on the verge of tears]  And you like me better as a sister than a rabbit, right?

• Nani : We need something that can defend itself. Something that won't die. Something... sturdy... you know?

  Lilo : Like a lobster!

  Nani : Lilo, Lilolo! Do we have a lobster door? No! We have a dog door! We are getting a dog!

• Nani : Why didn't you wait at school? You were supposed to wait *there*! Lilo! Do you not understand? Do you *want* to be taken away? Answer me!

  Lilo : No!

  Nani : No, you don't understand?

  Lilo : No!

  Nani : No, what?

  Lilo : Noooo!

  [slumps down on the floor] 

• Nani : I'll tell you what. If you promise not to fight anymore, I promise not to yell at you, except on special occasions.

  Lilo : Tuesdays and bank holidays would be good.

• Nani : Did you catch fire again?

  David : No, just the stage.

• Nani : Oh, you are such a pain.

  Lilo : Then why don't you sell me and buy a rabbit instead?

  [she starts to walk up the stairs going up to her room] 

  Nani : At least a rabbit would behave better than you!

  Lilo : Good! Then you'll be happy 'cause it'll be smarter than me, too!

  Nani : And quieter!

  Lilo : You'll like it 'cause it's stinky like YOU!

  [Lilo slams her bedroom door] 

  Nani : [screaming]  Go to your ROOOOOOOOMMM!

  Lilo : I'm already in my room!

  [Slams the door, Nani grabs a pillow and screams into it, in her room, Lilo screams into her own pillow, then flops down onto the bed] 

• Pleakley : [after Stitch chews on his head]  All is well! Please go about your business! I'm okay!

  Nani : Uh, your head looks... swollen.

  Jumba : Actually, she's just ugly.

  Pleakley : [laughing nervously]  Oh, he's joking. Ugly - Look at me!

• Lilo : [Nani is taking Stitch outside]  He was an orphan and we adopted him! What about "ohana"?

  Nani : He hasn't been here that long!

  Lilo : Neither have I. Dad said "ohana" means family.

  [Nani stops] 

  Lilo : "Ohana" means family. Family means...

  Lilo , Nani : ...nobody gets left behind.

  Lilo : Or...?

  Nani : ...or forgotten. I know, I know. I hate it when you use "ohana" against me.

• Pleakley : [Nani sees Pleakley and Jumba arrest Stitch]  Don't interact with her.

  [They turn their backs on Nani] 

  Nani : Where's Lilo?

  Jumba : Who?

  [Pleakley hits Jumba] 

  Jumba : What?

  Nani : Lilo. My sister.

  Jumba : Uh... sorry, we do not know anyone by this, uh...

  Nani : Lilo! She's a little girl this big, she has black hair and brown eyes and she hangs around with that THING!

  Jumba : [sighs]  We know her.

  Nani : Bring... her... back.

  Pleakley : Oh, we can't do that. Uh-uh. That would be misuse of galactic resources.

  Jumba : See, problem is, we're just here for him.

  Nani : So she's gone?

  Pleakley : Look at the bright side. You won't have to yell at anyone anymore.

• Mr. Cobra Bubbles : Heard you lost your job.

  Nani : Well... I just quit that job, because the hours are just not conducive to raising a child...

  [Stitch hits Cobra in the face with a ball] 

  Nani : Hey!

  Mr. Cobra Bubbles : What is that?

  Lilo : That's my puppy.

  Mr. Cobra Bubbles : Really?

  [Adjusts neck] 

  Mr. Cobra Bubbles : Thus far you have been adrift in the sheltered harbor of my patience, but I cannot tolerate you being jobless. Do I make myself clear?

  Nani : Perfectly.

  Mr. Cobra Bubbles : And next time I see that dog, I want him to be a model citizen. Capisce?

  Lilo : Uh... yes?

  Mr. Cobra Bubbles : New job. Model citizen.

  [Puts on sunglasses; one of the lenses pops off] 

  Mr. Cobra Bubbles : Good day.

• [meeting the social worker after damaging his car] 

  Nani : Hi... uh... you must be, the, uh...

  Mr. Cobra Bubbles : The "stupidhead."

  Nani : Oh. Ohhhh! Oh, you know, I'm *really* sorry about that, and if I had known who you were, of course I never would've... I can pay for that.

  Mr. Cobra Bubbles : It's a rental. Are you the guardian in question?

  Nani : Yes. I'm Nani, nice to meet you Mr...

  Mr. Cobra Bubbles : Bubbles.

  Nani : Mr. Bubbles? That's a strange...

  Mr. Cobra Bubbles : Yes, I know. Are you going to invite me in, Nani?

• Rescue Lady : Oh yes, mm-hmm, all of our dogs are adoptable.

  [Lilo walks in with Stitch] 

  Rescue Lady : Except that one!

  Nani : What is that thing?

  Rescue Lady : A dog, I think... But it was dead this morning!

  Nani : It was dead this morning?

  Rescue Lady : Well we thought it was dead, it was hit by a truck!

• Nani : Okay, talk. I know you had something to do with this. Now, where's Lilo? Talk! I know you can.

  Stitch : [reveals his alien form]  Okay, okay.

  [Nani freaks and smacks him down with a tree branch] 

• Lilo : [as Cobra holds her, she explains the explosion]  One of them had a giant eye in the middle of his face.

  Nani : [runs to take Lilo]  Oh, Lilo.

  [Cobra places Lilo in the car and closes the door] 

  Nani : Please don't do this.

  Mr. Cobra Bubbles : You know I have no choice.

  Nani : No! You're not taking her! I'm the only one who understands her! You take that away, she won't stand a chance!

  Mr. Cobra Bubbles : You're making this harder than it needs to be.

  Nani : But you don't know what you're doing! She needs me!

  Mr. Cobra Bubbles : [points to the exploded house]  IS THIS WHAT SHE NEEDS? It seems clear to me that you need her a lot more than she needs you.

• Nani : [talking on the phone]  I think it might be a koala... an *evil* koala. I can't even pet it! It keeps *staring* at me, like it's gonna eat me!

• David : I may not be a doctor, but I know there's no better cure for a sour face than a couple of boards and some choice waves. Whatcha think?

  Nani : I think that's a great idea.

• Nani : [to David]  You smell like a lawn mower.

• [after they wipe out while surfing] 

  Lilo : What happened?

  Nani : Some lolo must have stuffed us in the barrel.
