MOWGLI (the Man-Cub) Bagheera, I’m getting a little sleepy. Shouldn’t we start back home? (Bagheera says Mowgli is going to the man-village.) To a man-village? But why? (Bagheera tells Mowgli that Shere Khan will hurt him.) Shere Khan wants to hurt me? But I’ve never even met him. Well you need to explain to him that I’d never make fire and hunt tigers with guns. I want to stay in the jungle! I can take care of myself. I am a lot tougher than people think!

 

BAGHEERA (the Panther) Enough of this playing around! Now, let’s get out of here quick before anything else happens. You’re going to the manvillage right now. That does it! From now on, you are listening to what I say. Now, I am going to start walking to the man-village and you are going to follow me. Make no mistake about it, you are going home.

 

BALOO (the Bear) Well, now. That’s pretty big talk, little britches. You want to fight like a bear? Go ahead, give me a big bear growl. Scare me. (Mowgli gives a pitiful growl.) Oh, boy. I’m talkin’ about a BIG bear. Right from your toes. (Mowgli gives another pitiful growl.) No, silly. Like this: GRRRRAAAAAAAAH!!! (Mowgli says he’s going to the man village.) You’re going to a man-village? That will make a man out of you.

 

SHERE KHAN (the Tiger) Hmm. To think he was here in the jungle all along. And no one said anything!!! Your friends are very loyal, little mancub. (Mowgli says he isn’t afraid of Shere Khan.) Ah, you have spirit for one so small. I’m going to close my eyes and count to ten. It makes the chase more interesting for me.... One…Two…

 

KAA (the Snake) Ssss-say now. What have we here? Oh, it’s a Man-cub. A delicious Man-cub. (to MOWGLI) I am Kaa. Ssssooooo nice to meet you. I’ve been ssssooooo hungry for visitors. (MOWGLI struggles to get away.) Ssssssssilly Man-cub! Don’t you trust me? I don’t want to hurt you! I just want to give you a big hug! Ssss! Trust in me.

 

SHANTI (the Girl) Hello. My name is Shanti. I live in the village over the river. (Mowgli calls it the man-village.) It’s not a MAN village! There are women and little girls…and little boys just like you. Sometimes I sneak into the jungle to have an adventure. I saw what happened…and how brave you were. How brave all of you were…I couldn’t just sit there and not help out!
