  • [after he, Bagheera, and Mowgli escape from King Louie and company] Whew! [laughs] Man, that’s what I call a swinging party!
  • [after Bagheera tells Baloo he is taking Mowgli back to the man village] They'll ruin him! They'll make a man out of him!
  • [as he and Mowgli float down a river] Let me tell you something, little britches: if you act like that bee—uh-uh, you’re working too hard. And don’t spend your time looking around... for something you want that can’t be found.
  • Come on, Baggy buddy! Get with the beat!

[edit] Bagheera

  • Many strange legends are told of these jungles of India, but none so strange as the story of a small boy named Mowgli. For six years, Then more the jungle animals and owned by humans. [Bagheera stopped and Mowgli's boat] It was a young child like one never before in this part of the jungle. It was a little lost man-cub! Had I known how deeply I was to be involved, I would've obeyed my first friend, Bagheera the panther.
  • "Pawpaw"... Ha! Of all the silly gibberish.
  • Oh, no, it’s Baloo, that shiftless, stupid jungle bum.

[edit] Dialogue

[first lines]
Narrator: Many strange legends are told of these jungles of India, But none so strange as the story of a small boy named Mowgli. For six years later, Then more raised by wild animals and owned by the other humans. [Bagheera stopped him and Mowgli's boat] It was a young village child like one never returned in this part of the jungle. [Bagheera looks the boat with Young Mowgli] It was the little lost man-cub. Had I known how deeply I was to be involved, I would have obeyed my first friend, Bagheera the panther. [Bagheera turns back on the branch and Young Mowgli looks at him playfully a butterfly] The man-cub would have to have nourishment, and soon. It was many days travel to the nearst man-village and take him without a mother's care, he would soon perish. Then it occurred to me. He raised by a family of wolves, I knew had better the little Wolf cubs. [The wolf cubs playing and their mother Raksha, Bagheera is looking at them from bushes, Bagheera with Young Mowgli watches from the bushes as the family of wolves walk into their lair and puts the young boy right before the entrance. Young Mowgli goes and Bagheera pushes, the peacock away, Bagheera runs off the bushes and Young Mowgli to make him down and hides back. Wolves come out and look at Mowgli] Why, there's be no problem with the mother wolf Raksha. thanks to maternal instinct, but I wasn't so sure about Rama, the wolf father. [Rama comes from the jungle, looks at the man-cub, sees smiling face of Raksha, looks at Young Mowgli playing with the four wolf pups again and smiles too, The "My Own Home" theme starts in the background as the wolves goes Young Mowgli into the wolf lair]
Narrator: Ten times, the rains have come and gone. And I often stopped by to see how Mowgli the man-cub, was getting along. He was a favorite with Rama the father, their mother Raksha and the four young wolf cubs went go home.
Mowgli: [Imatines howling, Rama, Raksha and the four young wolf cubs came out of the cave, Grey Brother and Leah gets jumping and licks Mowgli, tackling his face and rubs his face]
Narrator: No man-cub was ever happier. And yet... I knew that someday he would have to go back to his own kind.
Narrator: Then one night, the wolf pack elders met at Council Rock. Because Shere Khan, the tiger, had returned to their part of the jungle. This meeting was to change the man-cub's entire future.
Akela: Shere Khan will surely kill the boy and all who try to protect him. Now, are we all in agreement as to what must be done? [wolves nod] Now it is my unpleasant duty to tell the boy's mother. Rama! Come over here, please.
Rama: Yes, Akela?
[At night]
Mowgli: Bagheera... [yawning] I’m getting a little sleepy. Shouldn’t we start back home?
Bagheera: Mowgli, this time we’re not going back. I’m taking you to a man-village.
Mowgli: But why?
Bagheera: Because Shere Khan has returned to this part of the jungle, and he has sworn to kill you.
Mowgli: Kill me? But why would he want to do that?
Bagheera: He hates man. And Shere Khan is not going to allow you to grow up to become a man—just another hunter with a gun.
Mowgli: Aw, we’ll just explain to him that I’d never do a thing like that.
Bagheera: Nonsense. No one explains anything to Shere Khan.
Mowgli: Well, maybe so, but I’m not afraid. And besides...
Bagheera: Now, that's enough! We'll spend the night here; things will look better in the morning.
[Bagheera and Mowgli settle down for the night on a branch of a tree.]
Mowgli: I'm not afraid, I can look after myself.
[Kaa then appears from the leaves, he smacks his lips when noticing Mowgli, looks towards Bagheera to see him sleeping. He then approaches Mowgli.]
Kaa: S-s-say now! [Mowgli looks up unimpressed, scowls at Kaa and then sticks his tongue out at him.] What have we here? [chuckles] It's a mancub, a delicious mancub.
Mowgli: [Pushing Kaa away.] Oh go away and leave me alone.
Bagheera: [sleeping] That's what I should be doing, but I'm not. Now PLEASE go to sleep mancub!
[Kaa nods his head in agreement and begins to hypnotize Mowgli.]
Kaa: Y-y-yes mancub. Please go to sleep, please go to sleep. Sleep little mancub, rest in peace.
[Kaa begins to wrap his coils around a hypnotized Mowgli.]
Kaa: S-s-sleep! S-s-sleep!
Mowgli: [Yawning] Ba-Bagheera?
[Kaa wraps his tail tightly around Mowgli's neck, choking Mowgli. Bagheera still unaware at what's happening.]
Bagheera: [sleeping] Now there's no use arguing anymore! Now no more talk till morning.
[Kaa now completely has a fully hypnotized (and smiling) Mowgli wrapped around his coils.]
Kaa: [chuckles] He won't be here in the morning.
Bagheera: Oh yes he will- [Bagheera suddenly wakes up and relises what is happening.] KAA!!! HOLD IT KAA!!!
[Just before Kaa is about to eat Mowgli, Bagheera quickly slaps Kaa's head onto another tree branch, Kaa bangs his head on it. This makes Mowgli fully conscious and released from Kaa's coils.]
[During the inspection of the Jungle Patrol]
Winifred: March, march, march. My feet are killing me.
Elephant #1: I’m putting in for a transfer to another herd.
[After the monkeys have kidnapped Mowgli]
Baloo: Bagheera!
Bagheera: [Turns around as he hears Baloo yelling his name a mile away] Well, it's happened. Took a little longer than I thought, but it's happened. [Starts running back toward Baloo, who's struggling to climb up a cliff. Bagheera reaches the cliff]
Baloo: [Scrambles up over the edge] BAGHEEEEEERAAAAAA!!!!!! [Baloo has shouted in Bagheera's face which has shaken. Baloo then realizes that Bagheera is in front of him] Oh, you heard me, huh?


[During Mowgli and Bagheera's argument]
Mowgli:: Bagheera, where are we going?
Bagheera:: You're going back to the man-village right now!
Mowgli:: I'm not going!
Bagheera:: D'oh, yes you are!
Mowgli:: I'm staying right here!
Bagheera:: You're going if I have to drag you every step of the way!
[Bagheera grabs Mowgli's underwear with his teeth, whilst Mowgli is clinging on to a tree. He is tugging on his underwear to try to get him to let go of the tree.]
Bagheera:: (grunting through his teeth) Let go, you....
Mowgli:: You, let go of me!
[Mowgli kicks at Bagheera with his feet to try to get him to let go. Bagheera pulls too hard and accidentally loses his grip on Mowgli's underwear. He falls into the river. As Bagheera gets out of the water, he hits his head on a log]
Bagheera: (furious) Oh, that does it! I've had it, man-cub! From now on, you're on your own! ALONE!
Mowgli:: Don't worry about me.
Col. Hathi: [looking closely at a recruit’s trunk] Tsk, tsk, tsk. A dusty muzzle. [to elephant in question] Soldier, remember in battle, that trunk can save your life. [taps trunk with cane] Take good care of it, my man.
Elephant #2: Yes, sir!
Col. Hathi: Good. Carry on.
[the next recruit has dirty tusks and is lazily chewing on some vegetation.]
Col. Hathi: [clears his throat in annoyance] Let's have a little more spit and polish on those bayonets. [taps tusk with cane]
Elephant #3: Yes, sir!
Col. Hathi: Esprit de corps! That's the way I earned my commission in the Mahajarah's 5th Pachyderm Brigade. Back in '88, it was. Or was it...?
Winifred: [whispering to another elephant] Here it comes. The "Victoria Cross" bit again.
Col. Hathi: It was then I received the Victoria Cross, for bravery above and beyond the call of duty. [chuckles] Those were the days. Discipline! Discipline was the thing! [leans on his cane] Builds character, all that sort of thing, you know--
[Hathi's cane snaps as he leans on it]
Col. Hathi: Oh! Um... Where was I? Oh, yes.
[The next recruit is a rough-looking elephant with bent tusks and a black eye]
Col. Hathi: Very good. Carry on.
[The next recruit is an elephant with a goofy looking grin across his face]
Col. Hathi: Wipe off that silly grin, soldier! This is the army.
[The elephant's smile droops into a sad frown, making his tusks droop. The next recruit is focused on a fly buzzing around his face which lands on his trunk]
Col. Hathi: Ahem. [swats the fly with his cane] Eyes front.
[Next, the lieutenant, with a mop of hair]
Col. Hathi: Tsk, tsk, tsk. Lieutenant, that haircut is not regulation. [messes the hair up] Rather on the gaudy side, don't you think?
[Hathi swipes his cane across, giving the lietenant a military style flat-top haircut]
Col. Hathi: There. That's better.
[Hathi looks to the left]
Col. Hathi: And as for you--
[Realises that he's talking to his son, Junior. Looks down]
Col. Hathi: Oh, there you are. [chuckles] Let's keep those heels together, shall we, son?
Junior: Okay, Pop-- Sir!
Col. Hathi: Yes, that's better.
[Turns to Mowgli]
Col. Hathi: Well, a new recruit, eh? [chuckles and pokes Mowgli's nose with his cane] I say, what happened to your trunk?
Mowgli: Hey! Stop that!
Col. Hathi: [gasps, sputters] A man cub! [picking up Mowgli with trunk] Oh, this is treason! Sabotage! I’ll have no man cub in my jungle! [puts him down on ground]
Mowgli: It’s not your jungle!
Shere Khan: I thought perhaps you were entertaining someone up there in your coils.
Kaa: Coils? Someone? Oh, no. I was just curling up for my siesta.
Shere Khan: But you were singing to someone. [Squeezes Kaa's neck] Who is it, Kaa?
Kaa: [Choking like mad] No... no... I was just... singing... uh... to myself.
Shere Khan: Indeed.
Kaa: Yes... you see, I have... trouble with my sinuses.
Shere Khan: What a pity. [Releases Kaa's neck and gently pins him to the ground]
Kaa: Oh, you have no idea. It's simply terrible. I can't eat. I can't sleep. So I sing myself to sleep. You know, self-hypnosis? [Brings his head close to Shere Khan's face] Let me show you how it works. [He uses his hypnosis technique with his eyes] "Trust in me..." [Shere Khan, unaffected, pushes Kaa away and pins his head to the ground]
Shere Khan: Uh, no, I can't be bothered with that. I have no time for that infernal nonsense.
Kaa: Some other time, perhaps?
Shere Khan: Perhaps.
[As Mowgli tearfully mourns Baloo]
Bagheera: Mowgli, try to understand.
Mowgli: Bagheera, what’s the matter with him?
Bagheera: You’ve got to be brave, like Baloo was.
Mowgli: Y-you don’t mean... Oh, no. Baloo.
Bagheera: Now, now. I know how you feel. But you must remember, Mowgli: "Greater love hath no one than he who lays down his life for his friend." [As the panther speaks, Baloo opens his eyes.] When great deeds are remembered in this jungle, one name will stand above all others: our friend, Baloo the Bear.
Baloo: [sniffling] He’s cracking me up.
Bagheera: The memory of Baloo’s sacrifice and bravery will forever be engraved on our saddened hearts.
Baloo: Beautiful.
Bagheera: This spot where Baloo fell will always be a hallowed place in the jungle, for there lies one of nature’s noblest creatures.
Baloo: [still sniffling] I wish my mother could have heard this.
Bagheera: It’s best we leave now. Come along, man-cub.
Baloo: ...Hey, don't stop now, Baggy, you're doing great! There's more! Lots more!
Bagheera: [sees Baloo still alive] WHY, YOU... BIG... FRAUD!!
[Mowgli sees Shanti the Girl for the first time]
Mowgli: What's that?
Bagheera: Oh, it's the man-village.
Mowgli: No. I mean that.
Baloo: You don't wanna mess with those. They ain't nothin' but trouble.
[After Mowgli, lured by Shanti the Girl, enters the man-village for the first time]
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.
Bagheera: Alright, what happened? Where's Mowgli?
Baloo: They ambushed me! Thousands of 'em! I jabbed with my left, then I swung with the right, and then I--!
Bagheera: Oh, for the last time, what happened to Mowgli?
Baloo: Like I told ya, them mangy monkeys carried him off!
Bagheera: The Ancient Ruins. Oh, I hate to think about what will happen when he meets the king of theirs.
Bagheera: Baloo! Over here. I like to have a word with you.
Baloo: A word? You gonna talk some more? [yawns] All right! What's up, Bagheera?
Bagheera: Baloo, the man cub must go back to the man-village. The jungle is not the place for him.
[Baloo eats some grapes from a tree]
Baloo: I grew up in the jungle. Take a look at me!
Bagheera: Yes, just look at yourself! Look at that eye!
[Baloo looks himself in the river and sees his black eye.]
Baloo: Yeah. It's beautiful, ain't it?
Bagheera: Frankly, you're a disreputable sight.
Baloo: Well, you don't look exactly like a basket of fruit yourself.
[Bagheera also looks himself in the river and sees his black eye.]
Bagheera: D'oh! [clears his throat] Baloo, you can't adopt Mowgli as your son.
Baloo: Why not?
Bagheera: Uh... How can I put it?
[Baloo eats a handful of grapes]
Bagheera: Baloo, birds of a feather should flock together. You wouldn't marry a panther, would you?
Baloo: [chuckling] I don't know. Come to think of it, no panther ever asked me!
Bagheera: [flustered] Baloo, y-y-you've got to be serious about—-
Baloo: Oh, stop worrying, Baggy! Stop worrying! I'll take care of him.
Bagheera: Yes, like you did when the monkeys kidnapped him?
Baloo: Can't a guy make one mistake?
Bagheera: Not in the jungle! And another thing: Sooner or later, Mowgli will meet Shere Khan.
Baloo: [suddenly very serious] The tiger?! What's he got against the kid?
Bagheera: He hates man with a vengenance. You know that! Because he fears man's gun and man's fire.
Baloo: But little Mowgli don't have those things!
Bagheera: And Shere Khan won't wait until he does. He'll get Mowgli while he's young and helpless. Just one swipe.
Baloo: Oh! Well, well what are we gonna do?
Bagheera: Well, we do what's best for the boy.
Baloo: You better believe it. You name it and I'll do it.
Bagheera: Good! Then make Mowgli go to the man-village.
Baloo: Are you outta your mind?! I promised him he could stay here in the jungle with me!
Bagheera: Well, that's just the point! As long as he remains with you, he's in danger! So it's up to you.
Baloo: Why me?!
Bagheera: B-b-because he won't listen to me!
Baloo: [humbled] Yeah, well, I... I love that kid. I love him like he was my own cub.
Bagheera: Then think of what's best for Mowgli and not yourself.
Baloo: Well c... Well, can't I wait until morning?
Bagheera: It's morning now. Go on, Baloo.


[Last lines]
Baloo: Well, come on Baggy-buddy, let's get back to where we belong! And get with the beat! [singing] Look for the Bare Necessities, the simple Bare Necessities!
Bagheera: [singing] Forget about your worries and your strife!
Both: [singing] I mean the Bare Necessities are Mother Nature's recipes that bring the Bare Necessities of life!
Buzzie: Run, friend, run!
Mowgli: Run? Why should I run?
Shere Khan: Why should you run? Could it be possible that you don't know who I am?
Mowgli: I know you all right. You're Shere Khan.
Shere Khan: Precisely! And you should also know that everyone runs from Shere Khan.
Mowgli : You don't scare me! I don't run from anyone!
Shere Khan: Ah, you have spirit for one so small. And such spirit is deserving of a sporting chance. Now, I'm going to close my eyes and count to ten. It makes the chase more interesting...for me. One...
[Music intensifies as Mowgli looks for something to defend himself with as Shere Khan continues counting]
Shere Khan: Two...
[Mowgli spots something and goes over to retrieve it.]
Shere Khan: Three...
[As Mowgli picks up a stick, Shere Khan begins to suspect something.]
Shere Khan: Four...
[Mowgli prepares to defend himself]
Shere Khan: You're trying my patience. Five, six, seven, eight, nine, TEN!
[Shere Khan leaps at Mowgli with a loud roar, Mowgli loses all of his nerve at the sight of this fearsome creature]
Buzzie: Hey, Flaps, what are we gonna do?
Flaps: I dunno. What'cha wanna do?
Ziggy: I've got it! Let's flap over to the east side of the jungle. They've always got a bit of action, a bit of a swingin' scene, all right.
Buzzie: Aw, come off it. Things are right dead all over.
Ziggy: You mean you wish they were. [all laugh]
Dizzy: [seriously] Very funny.
Buzzie: Okay. So what are we gonna do?
Flaps: I dunno. What'cha wanna do?
Buzzie: Look, Flaps, first I say, "What are we gonna do?" Then you say, "I don't know. What'cha wanna do?" [rapidfire] Then I say, "What're we gonna do?" Then you say, "What'cha wanna do?" LET'S DO SOMETHING!
Flaps: Okay. What'cha wanna do? [Buzzie sighs]
Buzzie: There you go again. The same notes again!
Ziggy: I've got it! This time, I really got it!
Buzzie: Okay, you got it. So what are we gonna do?
Dizzy: [spots Mowgli] Hold it, lads. Look! Look what's coming our way.
Flaps: Hey, what in the world is that?
Buzzie: So what are we gonna do?
Flaps: I dunno- Hey, now don't start that again!
King Louie: Ha-Ha! So you're the mancub? Crazy.
Mowgli: I'm not as crazy as you are, put me down!
[A monkey lets go of Mowgli's ankles, resulting in Mowgli landing flat on his face.]
Mowgli [shaking a fist] You cut that out!
'"King Louie'"[picks up Mowgli by his loinchloth] Cool it boy, unwind yourself.
