“I‘m goin’ to assume
that means "I’m a
huge-ass nerd who had
more books than
friends for the majority of my
life.” D'you learn
languages often, or did you
jus’ decide to pick
a random party trick?“
“Ah, I’d say
that I haven’t,
but I can
help you find
her?”
“It’s fine, actually-
shouldn’t’ve let

“Lilo. Lilo, I admire your- your
open-mindedness,

”You’re wrong -–– it’s a terrific idea and sounds great.”
“Actually, I’ve always had this quirky tendency

Lilo is being such an impossible jerk that Nani considers taking the jar of voodoo pickle juice, but then-
"Wait. That is not Elvis. Are you sick?“
She’s got to be sick.
In all her four years,
Lilo Pelekai has
