Search for Mowgli in the Jungle
Baloo
What are you laughing at? What are you doing out here, Baggy?
[wipes the mango off his nose, then gasps as he sees Bagheera appear; he glares at Baloo as he climbs down the rocks and approaches him]
Bagheera
Haven't you heard? Man is in the jungle.
Baloo
Wha-wha-what do they want?
Bagheera
They're searching for Mowgli.
Baloo
Mowgli?
Bagheera
I thought that perhaps maybe you have seen the boy.
[smiles suspiciously]
Baloo
Me? Uh, no. Well, you know his future is in that village.
Bagheera
Yes. I just wish I knew where he was.
Baloo
Yeah. Whew. Sorry. I wish I could help you out, Baggy.
Bagheera
D'oh! ] Baloo! Now give me the boy.
[[Home Alone 3|Enough games,]
Baloo
Baggy, Baggy, Baggy, Baggy. I can explain. I can explain. I...can explain but I don't have to. Because you can plainly see, Mowgli is not here. I'm all alone.
Bagheera
I know he's around here somewhere, and he can't hide forever.
[sighs]
Baloo
Well, he won't get past you, Baggy.
Bagheera
Hmm!
Baloo
Kid! Kid, where did you go?! ?

Confrontation Between Mowgli and Shere Khan
Mowgli
There you are! I'm so sorry. Will you let me explain? Come on! At least talk to me.
[Shanti backs away in fear; Shanti nervously points at something behind Mowgli; he turns around and gasps when he sees Shere Khan lurking in the shadows, he approaches the children]
Shere Khan
You seem surprised to see me, Man-Cub. I can't imagine why. I wasn't going to let you get away with what you did to me. You see, you humiliated me, Man-Cub. Surely you do realize I simply can't let you live.
Mowgli
Run!
[to Shanti and Ranjan]
Shere Khan
Oh, you're going to try and outrun me. How droll!
Mowgli
Come on! This way! All right. Stay here!
[catches up with Shanti and Ranjan; Behind them, Shere Khan gives chase with a snarl; Mowgli, Shanti, and Ranjan climb over a log to some bushes]
Shanti
Mowgli, no! Ranjan, wait here. I gotta go help Mowgli!
[Shere Khan leaps over the log with a roar; Shanti and Ranjan hide in the bushes]
Ranjan
But I wanna help Mowgli too!
Shanti
No! No! I'll be right back. I promise. Don't move.
[Shanti goes after Mowgli. Ranjan is still determined to help, and gets his loincloth caught by a branch revealing it to be his butt, he turns and panics because to him that looks like a horrifying paw to catches up behind him while tries to follows Shanti, and is thrown backwards and comes face-to-face with Baloo. He panics again and tries to run. Baloo picks him up by the loincloth.]
Baloo
Whoa, whoa. Hold still. Calm down, kid. Now, where's Mowgli?
Ranjan
Shere Khan!
Baloo
Shere Khan? Hold on!
[shocked; puts Ranjan on his shoulders and hurries to the rescue. Meanwhile, Mowgli is still running as fast as he can, but stops when he comes to a lava lake surrounding an ancient temple.]
Mowgli
Whoa!
[Mowgli looks at the lava nervously and looks back when he hears Shere Khan roar behind him; he jumps across and barely grabs onto the other side. He looks back just in time to see Shere Khan appear and quickly climbs up and races up the stairs. Shere Khan gets across with an effortless running jump. Mowgli enters the temple looking for a place to hide.]
Shere Khan
No matter how fast you can run, no matter where you can hide, I will catch you. Come out, come out, wherever you are.
[laughing evilly; Shere Khan climbs up the stairs as Mowgli hides behind a gong, hyperventilating.; In the jungle, Bagheera climbs down from a tree branch and hears Ranjan's voice]
Ranjan
Hurry! Hurry! Faster, faster!
[Bagheera sees Ranjan]
Bagheera
Oh, no! Not another Man-Cub!
Ranjan
Can't you go any faster?
[Bagheera then sees that Ranjan is riding on Baloo's shoulders]
Bagheera
Baloo! What is the meaning of this?!
[gasps and races alongside him]
Baloo
Mowgli's in trouble!
Ranjan
And Shanti, too!
Bagheera
Who's Shanti?
[Meanwhile, Shanti has just reached the temple and leaps across the lava before hurrying inside. She reacts with horror upon seeing Shere Khan looking around for Mowgli. She desperately looks for a place to hide. Baloo, Ranjan, and Bagheera arrive at the temple mere seconds later.]
Baloo
Take the kid, Baggy! I'll help Mowgli!
Bagheera
Baloo, be careful.

Oh, mercy. Shere Khan?
[a coconut lands on Kaa's face and bounces off; Kaa stares in shock to see Shere Khan; Shere Khan punches the rock in Kaa's coils]
Shere Khan
Anyone I know?
Kaa
I wish. Stupid Man-Cub.
Shere Khan
Man-Cub?
Kaa
Ohh. Did I say Man-Cub? Well, well, I didn't know. I'd love to stay and shoot the breeze.
[laughs; his coils slither away]
Shere Khan
What's your hurry?
Kaa
Uh, no reason I...
[gulps]
Shere Khan
Where is he?
Kaa
Who he?
Shere Khan
The Man-Cub Mowgli. I know you know.
[scratches Kaa's neck]
Kaa
Ohh... But, I don't.
Shere Khan
Oh, please don't insult my intelligence. It makes me irritable.
[grabs Kaa's throat]
Kaa
Oh, he's not in the village.
Shere Khan
I know where he isn't. Now tell me, where...he...IS.
[squeezes Kaa's throat tightly]
Kaa
Well, he's, he's... THE SWAMP! He's at the swamp, yes.
Shere Khan
Hmmm. The swamp, eh?
Kaa
Yes. Trust in me.
[he uses his hypnosis technique with his eyes; Shere Khan lets go of Kaa's throat off in the ground]
Shere Khan
Hmm. He's better be. For your sake.
[steps on Kaa's neck with his front paw; steps on his face with his rear paw]
Kaa
He is! He is! I'd take you there myself, but I'm afraid I'd slow you down. Indigestion and all.
[wheezing; gasps]

Shanti
Whoa, wait, wait. Stop! You're crossing the river. Mowgli, you can't go in the jungle. It's too dangerous. Mowgli! STOP!
[regaining consciousness, realizing they're headed into the jungle and looking worried]
Ranjan's Father

[To the children; The children start slowly walking back to the village, to Mowgli; Shanti feels ashamed of herself and worriedly turns from the Village Leader to Mowgli as he slowly walks to him; [The Lion King|''(You know what,)'' I'm very disappointed in you; [The Lion King|you deliberately disobeyed me!?]

But, but, I...

No, Mowgli. The jungle is a dangerous place. I should know. ]

Den Members Unite to Support Mowgli
Baloo
You! You stay away from me. Hey, I'm here because when a member of my den has a problem, then I have a problem.
Shanti
You! What are you doing here? Hey, I am really not in the mood, okay? I spent the night in the jungle! I was attacked by a snake! But I really don't care, because--
[overlapping Baloo]
Baloo
And, that's why--
Both
I'm here to help Mowgli! You are?
[they hesitate]
Baloo
I guess we're on the same side.
Shanti
I guess so.
[still coming to terms with the fact that Baloo is benevolent]
Baloo
OK.
Shanti
OK.
Baloo
All right. You, uh... go that way. I'll cover you.
[Shanti hurries off; Baloo observes Shere Khan roaming around the temple from behind a gong, and sees Mowgli come out from his hiding place behind the gong a few yards away before hiding again. Baloo then sounds the gong with his fists, getting Shere Khan's attention. Mowgli peeks out and sees Shere Khan approaching Baloo's position. Shanti nervously bangs another gong, drawing Shere Khan towards her. Mowgli quietly observes Baloo and Shanti's actions and rings his gong with a couple branches, causing Shere Khan to hone in on his hiding place. Baloo sounds his gong again: Shere Khan immediately goes in his direction. The three then sound their gongs simultaneously, confusing Shere Khan. Unfortunately, the chain holding up Shanti's gong breaks off, getting Shere Khan's attention. Baloo and Mowgli gasp.]
Shanti
Oh, no.
Shere Khan
Well isn't this a delightful turn of events? So, what's it going to be, Man-Cub? You or your adorable little girlfriend? I'm waiting! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve--
[chuckles; chuckles; Shanti throws her sticks at Shere Khan]
Mowgli
No! Don't!
[realizes that Shere Khan is going to kill Shanti and comes out from his hiding place and said]
Shere Khan
Thirteen-- No more games, Man-Cub.
[turns to see Mowgli; he chuckles then scowls]
Shanti
Mowgli?!
Mowgli
Come on!
Baloo
Mowgli! Look out!
Shanti
Oh, no!
[realizing there's a pit of lava at the bottom]
Mowgli
We can do it! Jump!
Mowgli
Come on!
Shere Khan
Mowgli...
[Before his defeat; The statue tilts and falls. Shere Khan falls down towards the lava. Baloo barely catches Shanti and Mowgli. Shere Khan lands on a rocky outcrop in the lava pit. A second later, the statue seemingly crushes him. Baloo, Shanti, and Mowgli look down into the pit where Shere Khan fell. Shere Khan is now trapped in the statue's mouth; an injured but still alive Lucky appears.]
Lucky
Hello, stripes. You're looking a bit down in the mouth today.
[laughs crazily]
Shere Khan
Oh, no...
[Latest words]
Lucky
Hey, hey! What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? I always knew you had a head on your shoulders, eh, Khanny, my boy?
[laughing crazily]

Shhh.

Papa Bear. Am I glad to see you. What are you doing here?

Conflict Over Mowgli's Safety and Future

This has to stop. You can't keep trying to take Mowgli from the man-village. The boy's future lies with his own kind.
Baloo
Oh! His future can wait. I miss my bear cub.
[?; sighs]
Bagheera
It's not safe for him in the jungle. You know Shere Khan is looking for Mowgli.
[sighs]
Baloo
Just let Shere Khan try something. We handled old stripes once, we'll do it again.
[Bagheera walks in front of Baloo]
Bagheera
Baloo, don't push your luck.
Baloo
Outta the way, Baggy!
Bagheera
You're not going anywhere near the village!
[Before he can finish his sentence, Bagheera falls through the log then into the river with a scream. Baloo looks down the hole in the log. Bagheera jumps out for air.]
Baloo
Later, Baggy!
Bagheera
That's it! Hathi, Plan B!

Belonging and Friendship in the Jungle
Ranjan
Hey, Mowgli!
Shanti
Shh. Ranjan, hush. It's starting.
Ranjan's Father
Come, children. Come watch. Mowgli, tell us your story.
[laughs; Ranjan chuckles; to Mowgli]
Mowgli
I never knew where I came from, but I always knew where I belonged. This is me and Bagheera, the panther who found me in the jungle. He's a good friend of mine, but my best friend of all was good old Papa Bear.
[Title card, The Jungle Book 2]
Shanti
A bear?!
Mowgli
Man. We had some crazy times together. And when the monkeys grabbed me things got really crazy.
Ranjan
Monkey! Go, Papa Bear!
Mowgli
Then I came face to face with the meanest, scariest tiger in the whole jungle, Shere Khan.
Ranjan
You stay away from Mowgli, you mean old tiger or I'll tie some fire to your tail and burn your butt! Yaah!
[roaring; rips the blanket]
Ranjan's Mother
Ranjan!
Ranjan
Whoa! Uhh!
Ranjan's Mother
Oh, Ranjan.
Ranjan
I got him, Mowgli. Did you see? I got him.
Mowgli
You sure did, Ranjan... but it's gonna be kind of hard to finish the story now.
Ranjan
But we all know how it ends. Shanti blinks her big beautiful brown eyes at you, and you follow her into our village.
Shanti
I did not.
Mowgli
Did so.
Shanti
Something was in my eye.
Mowgli
Both of them?
Shanti
Well, you were so ugly you made my eyes water.
Mowgli
Well, you...
Ranjan's Father
Ha, ha! Now, now. We give thanks for Shanti's beautiful brown eyes. Without them, Mowgli would never have found his way into our lives. Come to think of it, you used the same trick on me.
Ranjan's Mother
And you still fall for it.
Shanti's Mother
Thank you for a wonderful story, Mowgli.
Shanti
Goodnight, Mowgli.
[she got beautiful blinking eyelashes at Mowgli]
Mowgli
Night, Shanti. Watch out for Shere Khan on your way home.
Shanti
You and your stories. Everyone know tigers don't come into the village.
Ranjan
Tigers go wherever they want!
[roars]
Shanti
Aah!
Shanti's Mother
Ooh! Goodnight, boys.
[chuckles]
Mowgli
Tomorrow's gonna be so great.
Ranjan's Mother
What happens tomorrow?
Ranjan
Um...
Mowgli and Ranjan
Nothing.
Ranjan's Mother
Aha. Well, then, you will need plenty of rest... For doing nothing tomorrow. Off to bed.
Ranjan
Ah, we never get to stay up late.
[yawns]
Ranjan's Father
Ha, ha! Even wild beasts need their sleep. Oh, help! Ferocious tiger!
[picking Ranjan up; Ranjan roaring at his Father]
Ranjan's Mother
Ah, goodnight, my little wild thing.
[kisses Ranjan's head]
Ranjan's Father
Goodnight, Mowgli. Happy dreams.
[hugging Mowgli with his chest]
Mowgli
Um, goodnight... sir.
Ranjan
Why do you always call him "Sir"? His name's "Pop".

Baloo Reflects on Change and Simplicity
Baloo
Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities, forget about your worries and your strife. Yeah! I mean the... ...that bring the bare necessities of life. Now that's more like it! Look at ya! Oh, growing like a proverbial weed. Let's see if you've still got it. Take it away, little britches!
[singing; scatting as he bumps a coconut tree, causing a coconut to fall down, and he throws it onto a plant; continues scatting as he bumps a banana tree, causing a banana to fall; he shoots the banana, nearly hitting Bagheera who's sitting on a tree branch above him, before throwing the peel onto the coconut; laughs; scatting; Nothing happens, Bagheera sadly watches Baloo from his branch]
Bagheera
Poor fellow.
Baloo
I said, take it away!!! This ain't gonna work... You just ain't Mowgli. I guess I gotta get used to singing solo.
[The coconut falls off the plant and rolls onto the ground. Baloo's smile turns into a frown as he sighs]
Bagheera
He's just not getting over that-- Oh, no. Not again! Baloo. Baloo!
[gasps when he sees that Baloo is gone; he runs off after Baloo as the screen turns toward the coconut and banana peel. The music takes an ominous turn as the footsteps of another animal are heard; a shadow appears over the coconut before Shere Khan places his paw on top of it and crushes it]
Shere Khan
Mowgli...
[growling]
