4 quotesSetting Goals for Stability and Support
Mrs. Kekoa
Nani, we both know this didn't go well today. I can see you're trying, but you're too smart for me to beat around the bush here. I know it hasn't been that long since your parents passed away, but my job is to make sure that Lilo is in a stable environment. And I can't say that in good conscience right now. Listen, I know this is a lot. You're practically a kid yourself. Look, you seem like a goal-oriented person. We have a new director coming into town next week. And I would really, really love to tell him that you girls have turned the corner. So why don't we come up with some goals to achieve by then?
Nani
Yeah, yeah.
Mrs. Kekoa
All right, here. Three things. First, I want this house cleaned, including laundry and a fully stocked fridge.
Nani
Perfect.
Mrs. Kekoa
Second, pay all those bills I saw in the kitchen.
Nani
Yes.
Mrs. Kekoa
And third, file for health insurance for you and Lilo.
Nani
Got it.
Mrs. Kekoa
Now if you do those three things by Friday, I might be able to give you some more time.

Mrs. Kekoa
Don't forget the insurance.
[waving while driving away]
Nani
Yeah, yeah. You got it. You're gonna need the heath insurance for when I kill you!!! Oh, Lilo! We took out the smoke alarm batteries. I'll show you "can't breathe." Come here!
[smiles; waving goodbye to Mrs. Kekoa; mumbling under her breath while turning towards Lilo as she starts to charge towards her; Lilo screams and runs into the house to the other door, realizing she's in so much trouble; takes a shortcut, scaring her and chases her down the hallway; grabs her by the shirt]

Nani

Tūtū
Ah, ah. None of that. Your future is in your hands. And you're gonna have a very bright future cause of that akamai brain of yours. What? Your acceptance letter to your dream school magically taken out of your trash and appearing in your bag at your place of work? Ooh, that's a sign, girl.
[Nani slurps her Capri Sun and reveals her university acceptance letter she finds in the trash bin]
Nani

She's six, so no.

Well said, David.

Well...
David
So, like... when are you gonna go surfing?
Nani
Maybe when Lilo turns 18. Enjoy the surf.
[turns to go back inside]
Tūtū
Bebeh. Now, make up with your sister, yeah? You need anything, you just ask, okay? We're not just neighbors, you know. We're ohana.
[Nani heads inside the house]
David
Yeah, I mean, if you...

No, no! No, David, you've said enough.
