1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,240
Stitch and the warm thing called
ohana. 

2
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,240
Once Upon a time, on a warm 
island where the trade winds 

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,120
came in off the ocean and the 
flowers never quite stopped 

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,640
blooming, small blue creature 
named Stitch was sitting on the 

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,120
porch. 
He was supposed to be inside. 

6
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,320
He was almost inside. 
He was on the porch, which was 

7
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:33,200
close. 
The night was very warm and very

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:38,840
soft and smelled of plumeria and
the sea and Stitch had found 

9
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,280
since coming to live on this 
island, since coming to live 

10
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,360
with Lilo and Nanny. 
But he liked to sit on the porch

11
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,560
at night and simply be in the 
middle of all that warm and soft

12
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,400
and smell. 
He had not expected to like it. 

13
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,080
He had not expected to. 
Like most things. 

14
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:06,160
Lilo was asleep inside. 
He could hear her, the slow even

15
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,760
breathing of someone who had 
fallen asleep mid thought. 

16
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,640
Which was how Lilo fell asleep 
most nights, her mind still 

17
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,280
going somewhere while the rest 
of her had already given up. 

18
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,600
Nani had turned off the last 
light an hour ago. 

19
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,760
The house was dark and warm and 
full of sleeping. 

20
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,880
Stitch pressed 1 paw against the
porch post and felt the wood 

21
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:35,120
rough and warm from the day's 
sun, still holding it the way 

22
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,400
wood does long after the light 
is gone. 

23
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:45,120
He thought about the word ohana.
He thought about it often now, 

24
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,520
Not because he had to, because 
he wanted to, because it was the

25
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,480
best word he had ever learned in
any language, on any planet, in 

26
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,440
all his strange and complicated 
existence. 

27
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,520
Ohana means family. 
Family means nobody gets left 

28
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,280
behind. 
He'd been left behind before, or

29
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,759
he had done the leaving. 
He was not always sure which. 

30
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,960
But here, on this porch, on this
island, with Lilo's breathing 

31
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,720
coming through the window, here 
nobody was leaving. 

32
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:28,800
Here he was the one who stayed. 
He stood up slowly and went 

33
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,200
inside. 
He padded past Nanny's room. 

34
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,520
He looked in on Lilo, her face 
peaceful, her hands still curled

35
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,680
around the edge of her blanket, 
her little record players silent

36
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,680
on the night stand. 
Stitch found a spot at the foot 

37
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,480
of Lilo's bed, the place that 
was without anyone declaring it 

38
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,680
his. 
He curled up. 

39
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:57,400
He was small in this position, 
smaller than he looked. 

40
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:03,240
Just a small blue creature 
curled at the foot of a bed on a

41
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,400
warm island under a sky full of 
stars. 

42
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,200
The trade winds came through the
window, soft and warm and salt 

43
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,680
sweet. 
Stitch closed his eyes. 

44
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:28,920
Six eyes, All of them closed. 
All of them home. 

45
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,680
You have your ohana too, little 
one. 

46
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:41,440
The ones who stay, the ones who 
breathe nearby, the ones who 

47
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,440
sleeping. 
Sounds fill your house like 

48
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:49,880
something warm. 
Nobody is leaving tonight. close

49
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:59,120
your eyes, feel the warm wood, 
smell the flowers. 

50
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,040
Let the trade winds come 
through. 

51
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:08,080
You are home, you are kept, you 
are loved. 

52
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,080
Sleep now, just like Stitch.
