The line from Lilo and Stitch (and I parahrase since my nine year old
daughter is asleep - it's 0526 and I have to eat breakfast) -
(Referring to Ohana (family) Stitch points to Lilo and her big sister
(Noni??) which is the only family either apparently has and says
something to the effect of "This is my family. I found them all by
myself. Small. And broken. But Good. Very Good." again a
paraphrase,
not a quote.
Family, very good. Even better than nation or tribe.
Gracias,
Glenn
