Shere Khan: Everyone comes to Peace Rock, so many smells to catch up on. But, um, I can't help but notice there's this strange odor today... What is it, this scent that I'm on? Almost...almost think it was some kind of man-cub. [spots Mowgli] Akela: Mowgli belongs to my pack, Shere Khan. Shere Khan: Mowgli? They've given it a name. When was it we came to adopt man into the jungle? Akela: He's just a cub. Shere Khan: [shows his scars] Does my face not remind you of what a GROWN man can do? Shift your hunting grounds for a few years, and everyone forgets how the law works. Well, let me remind you: a man-cub becomes man, and man is FORBIDDEN!!! Raksha: What do you know about law? Akela: Raksha. Raksha: Hunting for pleasure, killing for power, you've never known law. The cub is mine, mine to me. So, go back to where you came from, you burned beast! Akela: The tiger knows who rules this part of the jungle. I'm sure he doesn't mean to come here and make threats. Especially during a water tru

Bagheera: [softly and urgently] Down! Mowgli: What, now we have to bow at the buffalo, too? Bagheera: Listen to me. This is not a game. You're gonna run to that ravine. Mowgli: What are you talking about? Bagheera: Go to the north where the sky glows at night. I'll find you on that path. Mowgli: Bagheera, I'm not taking one more step until... Bagheera: [calls out, unable to rise] RUN, MOWGLI! Run!

Shere Khan: I suppose you know why I've come? Akela: The man-cub has left the jungle. Shere Khan: I thought I made myself clear that I wanted him to be handed over to me. Akela: We no longer harbor him. He's left the pack Shere Khan: And where may I ask has he gone? Akela: He's with his own kind now. Shere Khan: So, the Man Cub has left the jungle. Akela: [last words before his death] That's right. You and I no longer have to quarrel and, most importantly, we have peace. Shere Khan: Well, I guess it's done, then... ...unless, I can draw him <big>BACK OUT!!!</big> [pivots around, leaps forward, and crushes Akela's neck with his teeth] Raksha: [shocked] AKELA! Shere Khan: [throws Akela's body off the cliff; to the wolves] 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 mancub, these hills are my hills. You did not respond to reason! So now you wil

Mowgli: It's a honey stash for winter. Bagheera: Have you lost your mind?! Mowgli: You said you wouldn't get mad. Bagheera: Did you listen to anything Akela taught you? There's no place in the jungle for these... tricks! You wanna do this, you do this in the man-village. Mowgli: But I'm helping Baloo get ready for hibernation. Bagheera: Bears don't hibernate in the jungle. [to Baloo] What are you teaching him? Baloo: Not full hibernation, but I nap, a lot. Bagheera: Listen to me, you con artist! He may not know your game, but I do. He's leaving now. Mowgli: But I don't wanna leave! Bagheera: You don't have a choice! Baloo: Why don't we all just settle down for a minute? Look, it's gotten late. Too late to travel, so why don't we all just have a little honey...? Bagheera: I don't eat honey. Baloo: No problem. I'll eat the honey. Let's all get a good night's sleep, and we can talk about this in the morning. Bagheera: Fine, but we're leaving first thing.

King Louie: [after singing I Wanna Be Like You, to Mowgli] Just one thing we need to reach our full potential. Bring me that Red Flower, and we will rule this jungle. I will protect you, and you will want for nothing ever again. Mowgli: I can't... King Louie: You can't or you won't? Mowgli: I can't! King Louie: [angered] YOU WILL!!! Baloo: [enters the monkey temple] Excuse me! Anybody? Excuse me, am I in the right monkey temple? [sees King Louie] 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: [annoyed; to his monkeys] Seize him. Baloo: [while being attacked by monkeys] Hey! Hang on! Can you hang on? Can you just hang on? I climbed a mountain to see you - and I'm not a climber - just to be in your presence. For me this is a dream come true. Oh! King Louie: Throw him off the cliff. B
