[Lilo finds an experiment pod on the floor in the post office while dropping off a letter to her pen-pal]
Look what I found. It was right there on the floor. It must have been in somebody's mail. Experiment 509.
Hmmm... 509. Agricultural experiment.
Experiment. Designs to be violent and indestructible. Looks like harmless plant one moment, but suddenly rises up like savage beast and attacks!
Let's activate it, so we can find its one true place.
[snatches the pod from Lilo] No, no, no! Too risky.
But we could make friends with it, and then it won't attack.
You're wanting to make friends with a plant? [laughs] Oh, is very compassionate, also silly! [puts the pod in a drawer and locks it] No. Impossible to activate without causing extreme destruction. Of course, is fun for me, but for planet's sake, I'm putting away, permanently.
End of discussion! Not looking so sad. Hundreds of experiments left on the loose, wreaking havoc on island. Make friends with those.
[Mertle challenges Lilo to compete against her in the orchid growing contest in the Kokaua Town Fair while Stitch trains himself to enter the rodeo; Pleakley is using a jackhammer to sew seeds into his garden]
Pleakley, can you help me grow an orchid for the town fair?
Town fair? What town fair?
Kokaua Town Fair. They have rides and food and competitions for stuff like flowers.
There's a homegrown fruits and vegetables competition.
Homegrown fruits?! I could enter... my Pinormous! [gestures to his gigantic pineapple plant] Pinarmous will revolutionize Hawaii's pineapple industry. And then... IT WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE WORLD!!!
[chuckles] You are starting to sound like evil genius.
Maybe, but... I'm be an evil genius for good!
Always it starts that way. Here is evil genius fertilizer you are requesting.
Sorry, Lilo. I can't waste my precious time on something as renowned as an orchid. My Pinormous needs me, and the world needs my Pinormous! [notices some bamboo shoots growing] AAH!! My personal Eden is being invaded by bamboo runners!
Underground roots spreading their grasping, choking evil from the mother plant. Couldn't you ever plant this to contain the roots so it won't keep spreading? So inconsiderate!
[Lilo goes to the rental hut to ask Nani to help her grow an orchid]
I'm sorry, Lilo, but I don't have time to help you with the fair. I'm working.
But I want to enter something.
DDiver
Uh, miss? Do you have another mask? This one doesn't fit quite right.
Oh, yes, sir. [gives the diver another mask] Here you go. [to Lilo] If you'd told me weeks ago...
BUT I ONLY JUST FOUND OUT TODAY!!
DDiver
Uh, miss? This mask doesn't fit right either.
Uh, okay. [gives the diver another mask] Here. Try this one.
[as the two sisters talk, Stitch, still practicing to be a cowboy, wheres flippers as boots and twirls two snorkels as if they were guns]
But I gotta enter something! Mertle's entering orchids, Pleakley's entering a huge evil pineapple, Stitch is going to be a cowboy at the rodeo.
[to Stitch] Cowboys where boots, not flippers. [to Lilo] Look, it takes a long time to grow an orchid. Maybe you could enter next year.
DDiver
Oh, uh, miss? I'm sorry, but this one...
THE MASK DOESN'T FIT BECAUSE YOUR HEAD IS SHAPED WEIRD!!!! [storms out the hut]
[chuckles nervously] Kids.
[Lilo and Stitch go to the fair carrying Sprout on a wagon]
ZMZack Makeli
Howdy, stranger. [Stitch glares at him angrily] I hear you're the only bullrider in this here competition. [Stitch nods] You see this? I got five of'em. One for each time I won the rodeo. And I don't expect to lose the sixth time... to a stranger.
Help me get Sprout in place, then you can kick that cowboy's rear in the rodeo.
ZMZack Makeli
[laughs] Hey, son! A real cowboy don't get told what to do by a little girl!
[Stitch grumbles angrily as he takes Sprout to the orchid competition]
[Lilo and Stitch retreats to the old water tower after Sprout lands on the ground and grows into a giant plant monster]
All my fault. Jumba locked the experiment in the drawer because he knew it was dangerous, and I took it anyways just so I could beat Mertle. I messed up everything.
You could at least pretend that I didn't mess up so bad, just to make me feel better.
[Nani watches the news]
RReporter
We're here at the Kokaua Town Fair, where apparently, a giant orchid has burst out of its potted plant, causing pandemonium.
[shocked and angry] JUMBA!!
What?! What is emergency?!
What do you know about that?! [points to the TV]
RReporter
I've never seen anything like this! It's as if alien plants have taken over the fair! James, are you getting this?! Oh, no! [screams]
Is 509... but looks much heavier on television. Little girl has been breaking big rules!
[Stitch manages to pull Sprout from the ground and puts him in the water tower, where he's now in his one true place]
I don't know if it's his one true place, but that's the only place I think Sprout could go.
OJOrchid Judge 1
Would you look at that?!
OJOrchid Judge 2
Wasn't that one of the entries in the orchid category.
OJOrchid Judge 3
Why, yes! Yes, it was! I think we've found our blue ribbon! [hands the blue ribbon to Lilo] Here you go, dear.
ZMZack Makeli
Y'know, if hadn't been for that overgrown dandelion, you'd have beat in the rodeo.
ZMZack Makeli
No, no, sir. You would've. I gotta admit it, 'cause a real cowboy either wins fair and square, or he loses fair and square, partner. [hands Stitch the rodeo belt]
[remembers the fact that she cheated and gives the ribbon to Mertle] Here.
No. You won it fair and square, and I didn't. My Pully Cove is yours for a whole week.
Hey! We can go to my Pully Cove without the weirdo for a whole week! [she and the girls cheer and leave]
A real cowboy knows how to lose, fair and square.
Lilo! Oh, Lilo, are you okay?
I guess a month would be fair.
[shocked and upset that his pineapple was destroyed by Sprout] My beautiful Pinormous! Innocence! Lost!
If we start planting for next year, I bet we could grow orchids that would kick Mertle's orcids' butt!
Wow! I didn't even know orchids have butts.
