King Louie: Where you goin', man-cub?
Mowgli: Stay away from me!
King Louie: You don't have anyone now. I'm your only hope. I can make it real good for you here. Where else you gonna go?
Mowgli: I'll go back to the pack! I'll go back to Akela!
King Louie: Akela? Oh. You didn't hear? Shere Khan killed him. Must've been on account of you.
Mowgli: No! You're lying!

Movie: The Jungle Book
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.

Movie: The Jungle Book
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!

Movie: The Jungle Book
Baloo: I did it! Ahh...
Bagheera: Well done, old chap. He must be in there. Follow me.
Baloo: No, no. We're on level ground here. I'm in charge, and I've got a plan.

Movie: The Jungle Book
Baloo: 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!

Movie: The Jungle Book
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.

Raksha: Why are you doing this? He's gone! Isn't that what you want?

Movie: The Jungle Book
[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!

Movie: The Jungle Book
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... [Shere Khan leaps roaring from the tall grass. Mowgli ducks and Bagheera deflects the attack. The two cats fight while Mowgli runs to the ravine. Shere Khan knocks Bagheera out, sees Mowgli and pursues]
Bagheera: [calls out, unable to rise]Run, Mowgli! Run!

Movie: The Jungle Book
King Louie: [singing]Now you might think it's ridiculous / That me, a gigantopithecus / Would ever dream, I'd like to team / With the likes of you, man-cub / But together, we'd have powers / All the jungle's treasures, ours / I got desire, you got the fire / But the dream I dream takes two / So, ooh, I wanna be like you / I wanna use that flame, just the same / You can do / Oh, how magnificus it would be / A gigantipithicus like me / Could learn to do like you humans do.

Raksha: No!
