- Raksha: [to Mowgli] Never forget this: You're mine. Mine to me. No matter where you go, or what they may call you, you will always be my son.
- Shere Khan: Shift your hunting ground 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!
- 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?
- Shere Khan: I can't help but notice there's this strange odor today. What is it, this scent that I'm on? I almost... I almost think it was some kind of... man-cub.
- [spots Mowgli]
- Baloo: "This is the law of the jungle, as old and as true as the sky."
- Shere Khan: What is this?
- Baloo: "The wolf that keeps it may prosper /"
- Baloo, Bagheera: "... but the wolf that breaks it will die ."
- Shere Khan: You fools.
- Baloo, Bagheera, Raksha: "Like the creeper that girdles the tree trunk, the law runneth over and back."
- Shere Khan: Fine! Rise up, all of you! You want to put yourselves between me and the man-cub?
- Baloo, Bagheera, Raksha: "For the strength of the pack is the wolf..."
- Baloo, Bagheera, Raksha, Mowgli: [further joined by the other wolves] "... and the strength of the wolf is the pack!"
- Shere Khan: I will have you ALL IN MY TEETH!
- Baloo: [Mowgli wakes up to find Baloo's nose in his face sniffing him. He screams in terror. Baloo sharply draws his head back] Relax, kid. No need to get worked up. 'kay?
- Baloo: What'd I tell you? He's special.
- Bagheera: I know he's special. I raised him.
- Baloo: Then don't make him leave, Bagheera. You gotta let him be what he is.
- Bagheera: You don't understand. The boy's in danger.
- Baloo: I know. He told me. He's being hunted by a tiger.
- Bagheera: Not any tiger. Shere Khan.
- Baloo: Shere Khan's hunting him? Oh. But if you send him back to the man village, they'll ruin him. They'll make a man out of him. We should send him back to the wolf pack. Who's their alpha? Akela. He can protect him.
- Bagheera: Akela is dead.
- Baloo: What?
- Bagheera: Shere Khan killed him. He will stop at nothing until he has this boy. Nothing. The only way we can save him is if he goes to that man village. Please, Baloo. You're the only one he'll listen to.
- Bagheera: Maybe I can be of help. The boy's right. Maybe it's time he found another people.
- Raksha: No!
- Bagheera: I'm the one who brought him to you, and now I'll return him to where he belongs.
- Raksha: [goes in front of Mowgli] I won't let you. He's MY cub!
- Akela: We knew this day would come.
- Raksha: We are the only family he's ever known!
- Akela: Raksha, it's the only place he'll be safe.
- Mowgli: [walks to Raksha] It's okay, ami, I won't go far. I-I'll come back and visit.
- Baloo: Didn't the wolves ever sing?
- Mowgli: I don't know. Uh... Oh! We recited the law of the jungle: "This is the law of the jungle, as old and as true as the sky. The wolf that keeps it may prosper, but the wolf that breaks it will die."
- Baloo: Kid, that's not a song. That's propaganda.
- Mowgli: What's propaganda?
- King Louie: And YOU are a man-cub who wants to live in a jungle.
- Mowgli: How do you know that?
- King Louie: Kid, I got ears. My ears got ears. You wanna live here? You need a people to protect you. Only I can protect you - and I will for a price.
- Mowgli: I don't have anything to give you.
- King Louie: I think you DO.
- Shere Khan: [finds himself on the branch of a dead tree that starts to crack under his weight] Did you think I would let you grow old?
- [sees the flames below the tree]
- Shere Khan: Either I'll devour you or the red flower will. It's just a matter of time. How long did you really think you'd survive against me? Longer than your father did? Longer than... Akela?
- Mowgli: I'm not afraid of you! Do you hear me? I'm done running from you!
- [Shere Khan roars and leaps at the end of the branch to tackle Mowgli, but the boy manages to jump onto a vine. The branch snaps and Shere Khan falls to his death]
- Shere Khan: NOOO!
- Mowgli: It's honey stacks 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 want to 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 a 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.
- Shere Khan: [to Raksha's cubs] But the one you have to watch out for is the cuckoo bird. Do you know how the cuckoo bird survives? By preying on a mother's weakness. The cuckoo bird is too cleaver to raise its young. Instead, it sneaks its eggs into the nests of simpler birds; so, when they hatch, the mother bird is fooled. She feeds them, nurtures them... And do you know what happens to her own chicks? They starve and die from neglect, all because a mother loved a chick that wasn't her own.
- 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!
- Bagheera: When I found him many years ago he was just an infant abandoned in the woods. If he was going to survive, I knew he needed a people. A people to protect him. That's why I entrusted him to the wolves.
- Baloo: [Looking at the pangolin] You have never been a more endangered species than you are at this moment.
- 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!
- 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!
- Raksha: Why are you doing this? He's gone! Isn't that what you want?
- Shere Khan: I want him dead. Once he gets word of what happened here, he'll come back... and I'll be waiting.
- [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!
- 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!
- Shere Khan: [Shere Khan and Bagheera fight one more time. Shere Khan knocks Bagheera down and pins down his head] It's time we put an end to this!
- [prepares to deliver the killing bite to Bagheera's neck but Raksha tackles him]
- Raksha: No!
- 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.
- King Louie: You know who I am?
- Mowgli: No.
- King Louie: I am the King of the Bandar-log. Call me Louie.
- Kaa: Hi, little cub. Oh, no. Don't be scared. I'm not gonna hurt you.
- Mowgli: I was just passing through. I don't want any trouble.
- Kaa: There's no trouble. Are you alone out here? Hm, that's not good. We should never be alone.
- Mowgli: I'm waiting for a friend. He should be here soon.
- Kaa: I can stay with you until he gets here. Would that be all right? I'll keep you safe, just you and me, sweet thing.
- King Louie: Just one thing we need to reach our full potential. Bring me that red flower, and we rule this jungle. I will protect you, and you will want for nothing ever again.
- Mowgli: I can't!
- King Louie: You can or you won't?
- Mowgli: I can't!
- King Louie: You will!
