The Jungle Book - Embracing Identity in Challenging Situations
Bagheera: [tackles Mowgli to restrain him from fighting Shere Khan]
Stay here!
Mowgli: [trying to push Bagheera's paw away]
But I want to fight with the wolves!
Bagheera: [Mowgli gets up, and runs by Shere Khan]
You can't fight him like a wolf! You're not a wolf! Fight him like a man! Now, go!
Mowgli:
Okay.
Bagheera:
We'll hold him off.
Bagheera: [narrates]
Over the years I have seen many things in the jungle but that night I saw something I will never forget I saw a child without a people come for the first time all over the jungle.

Bagheera!
Bagheera:
Mowgli? Stay there. We'll come around you.
Mowgli:
Is it true?
Bagheera: [shocked]
What?
Mowgli:
Is Akela dead?!
Begheera:
We were going to tell you.
Mowgli: [tearfully enraged]
YOU KNEW! YOU BOTH KNEW! AND NOBODY DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT!
Baloo:
Kid, just hold on a minute!
Mowgli: [tearfully runs off]
SOMEONE'S GOTTA DO SOMETHING!
Bagheera:
Mowgli!

The Jungle Book - Conflict Between Mowgli and King Louie
King Louie:
Where are you going, 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: [Mowgli gasps in shock at what King Louie says about Akela]
Akela? Oh. You didn't hear? Shere Khan killed him. Must've been on account of you.
Mowgli: [furious]
NO!!! YOU'RE LYING!!!

The Jungle Book - Desire for Power and Its Consequences
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; sees King Louie]
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: [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.
Baloo: [still being attacked by monkeys]
Wait. Wait, wait, wait. I have no problem with that, I don't have any problem with that, I came up here without an invitation. It was extremely presumptuous of me. Let me interrupt myself, I just gotta say, you guys are so much handsomer in person than anyone knows, no one ever gets up close to you. I guess it's... why? Because of the smell. I mean, the smell is-is-is rough. But it's not just, "Oh, look at me." It's, "I got the brains." You guys got the know-how, you got the noggin. You came up with this stuff, with the thumb. Come on, show me. How do you do that? I can't do that. Look, I scratch, I rub, you know, I can grab a fish. But I was hoping, and you may not be open to this at all, but I was hoping, and once again, it's a dream, but I was hoping that I might become... a Bandar-log myself. Gosh, I wanna be like you. I am hitching my wagon to your star.
King Louie:
NO ONE LEAVES!
Baloo: [starts to run outside]
I can show myself out! Thanks, bye-bye!

The Jungle Book - Jungle Lessons on Caution and Consequences
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: [to Baloo]
Bears don't hibernate in the jungle. 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.

The Jungle Book - Navigating Danger in the Jungle
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!
