Baloo: He's hooked.
Bagheera: Ah, it was inevitable, Baloo. The boy couldn't help himself. It was bound to happen. Mowgli is where he belongs now.
Baloo: Yeah. I guess you're right. But I still think he'd have made one swell bear. Well, come on, Baggy, buddy. Let's get back where we belong. And get with the beat.
Bagheera: You must be the very worst wolf I've ever seen.
Mowgli: Yeah, but if that branch didn't break, I would've made it.
Bagheera: Crossing upwind, breaking from your numbers. If you can't learn to run with the pack, one of these days you'll be someone's dinner.
King Louie: And YOU are a man-cub who wants to live in a jungle.
Mowgli: How do you know that?
King Louie: Kid, I got ears. My ears got ears. You wanna live here? You need a people to protect you. Only I can protect you - and I will for a price.
Mowgli: I don't have anything to give you.
King
Louie: I think you DO.
Baloo: Excuse me! Anybody? Excuse me, am I in the right monkey temple? Oh, my gosh, is that King Louie? This is so exiting. The legends do you no justice, sir. You are truly... ENORMOUS, ah-ha-ha, in the best way. Look at all of that... flesh just... squatting there on an ancient throne. How... how-how majestic.
King Louie: [to his monkeys] Seize him!
Baloo: Uh.
Bagheera: I'll take it from here.
Baloo: No, I... I'm coming. I... it's-it's doable if I don't have to go too high.
Bagheera: Good. Let's get going.
Baloo: All right.
[Shere Khan visits the wolf pack and learns that Mowgli has left]
Shere Khan: Well, I guess it's done then... unless I can draw him BACK OUT!
Raksha: Akela!
[throws Akela off the cliff]
Shere Khan: [to the pack] Have I got your attention now? I didn't want it to be this way. I made it SO simple. All I asked for was one
thing, and you DENIED me! Well, that - ends - now. Spread the word! Until I have the man-cub, these hills are my hills. You did not RESPOND to reason, so now you will know fear!
[Shere Khan is calmly stalking a deer just as Colonel Hathi and the other elephants frighten off his would-be prey with their noise]
Elephants: Hut, two, three, four. Hut, two, three, four.
Shere Khan: What beastly luck! Confound that ridiculous Colonel Hathi!
Winifred: Dear, haven't you forgotten something?
Colonel Hathi: Nonsense, Winifred, old girl. An elephant never forgets.
Winifred: Well, you just forgot our *son*!
Baloo: Now, look. It's like this, little britches. All you gotta do is...
Baloo: [singing] Look for the bare necessities / The simple bare necessities / Forget about your worries and your strife / I mean the bare necessities / Are Mother Nature's recipies / That bring the bare necessities of life / Wherever I wander / Wherever I roam / I couldn't be fonder
Of my big home / The bees are buzzin' in the tree / To make some honey just for me / When you look under the rocks and plants / And take a glance at the fancy ants / Then maybe try a few...
Mowgli: You eat ants?
Baloo: You better believe it. And you're gonna *love* the way they tickle.
[first lines]
Bagheera: Many strange legends are told of these jungles of India, but none so strange as the story of a small boy named Mowgli. It all began when the silence of the jungle was broken by an unfamiliar sound.
[Sound of baby crying]
Bagheera: It was a sound like one never heard before in this part of the jungle. It was a man cub!
Had I known how deeply I was to be involved, I would've obeyed my first impulse and walked away.
