Group 1

[Bagheera helps and with some grunting gets Mowgli on that limb]
Bagheera: Now, get some sleep. We've got a long journey ahead of us tomorrow.
Mowgli: Uh, I wanna stay in the jungle.
Bagheera chuckles: Huh? heh, you wouldn't last one day.
[he yawns and lies down to sleep]
Mowgli: I am not afraid. I can look after myself.
[Kaa appears from limbs above]
Kaa:

Ss-say now, what have we here?

[Mowgli sticks his tongue at Kaa]


It's a man-cub. A delis-ci-ous man-cub.
Mowgli: Oh, go away and leave me alone.
Bagheera (with eyes closed): Oh, that's just what I should do, but I'm not.
Now, please, go to sleep, man-cub.
Kaa:

Yes-ss, man-cub, please

[He starts hypnotizing Mowgli]


Go to sleep, please go to sleep,
Sleep little man-cub
Rest in peace.
[Kaa's tail goes around Mowgli in circles]
Sleep. Ss-sleep
Mowgli: Ba--, bah-- Bagheera -[Kaa gets to his neck and Mowgli gulps]

Group 2

Bagheera (still with eyes closed): Oh, no. Look, there's no use arguing anymore.
Now, no more talk 'till morning.
Kaa chuckles: He won't be here in the morning
Bagheera: Huh? Oh yes, he will, Kaa!
[Bagheera wakes up and sees Kaa moving Mowgli into his open mouth. He hits Kaa]
Hold it, Kaa!
Kaa:

Ohhh, my sinus-ss. You have just made a ss-serious mistake, my friend.


A very ss-stupid

Bagheera: Now, now, now, Kaa, I was--

Kaa:

Mistake!

[Mowgli comes up, climes out of Kaa's relaxed coils]


Look me in the eye when I'm speaking to you.
Bagheera: P-please, Kaa
Kaa:

Both eyes if you please.

[Bagheera gets fully hypnotyzed and sits still. Mowgli meanwhile is pushing
Kaa's coils off the branch]
You have just ss-sealed your doom.
[Weight of the part of his body Mowgli pushed down suddenly makes him fall]
oooh!
Mowgli: Look, Bagheera! Heh-heh, look, Bagheera? Wake up, Bagheera.
[He hits Bagheera's cheeks a little]
Bagheera comes up: Ah, duh, wha-Kaa (crawling away): Just you wait 'til I get you in my coils.
[He suddely stops because a knot on his tail gets stuck between some bamboos
Stems]
Mowgli: Bagheera, he's got a knot in his tail!
Kaa (mockingly) Hee-hee-hee. He's got a knot in his tail.
(After freeing the tail): Ooo! This is going to slow down my slithering.
Mowgli: Ha-ha-ha...
Bagheera: So you can look out for yourself, can you? So you want to stay in
the jungle, do you?
Mowgli: Yes, I want to stay in the jungle.
Bagheera: D'oh! Now for the last time, go to sleep!
Man-cub, huh.. man-cub, ahh..
[Finally they both sleep]

Group 3

Mowgli (to Bagheera): Ha-ha-ha. He said an elephant never forgets.


Bagheera: It's not funny. Let's get out of here quick before anything else
happens.
[They run through the forest]
Mowgli: Bagheera, where are we going?
Bagheera: You're going back to the man-village right now.
Mowgli: I am not going.

Bagheera: Oh, yes you are.


Mowgli: I am staying right here.
Bagheera: You're going if I have to drag you every step away
[Mowgli holds at a small tree while Bagheera tries to get him off it and drag
away]
Bagheera (muffled): Let go, you-Mowgli: You, let go of me!
[Bagheera lets go, falls into water and while getting up, hits his head
against a log]
Bagheera: 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.
[Bagheera leaves and Mowgli walks aimlessly for a while]
Bagheera (still walking away): Ah. Foolish man-cub.
[Mowgli sits down near some rock with his head low untill he hears
sounds from nearby bushes. Baloo comes in]
Baloo (singing):

Doo-bee doo-bee doo-bee dee-doo


Well, it's a doo-bah-dee-do
Yes, it's a doo-bah-dee-do
I mean a doo-be doo-bee doo-be
Doo-be doo-bee doo
And with--

[He sees Mowgli]


Well now, ha-ha! What have we here?
[He sniffs Mowgli]
Hmm... Hey, what a funny little bit of a-[Mowgli slaps him]
Ow!
Mowgli: Go away!
Baloo:

Oh boy, I've seen everything in these woods, what have I run on? What
a pretty thing this is!

Mowgli: Leave me alone.


Baloo:

Well now, that's pretty big talk, little britches

Mowgli: I'm big enough


[He starts hitting Baloo in the tummy repeatedly but Baloo doesn't almost
notice that]

Group 4

[Mowgli makes a barely audible growl]


Baloo:

Tsk-tsk-tsk. Oh boy. I'm talking about like a big bear!

[Baloo makes a growl which rocks the jungle to the bottom and even Bagheera
who was walking away all this time hears it.]
Bagheera: He's in trouble. I shouldn't have left him alone!
[Bagheera runs back to Mowgli]
Mowgli: Grrr.
Baloo:

GRRR!

Mowgli: Grrr.
Baloo:

A big one, right from your toes.

Mowgli: How's that?


[Bagheera arrives]
Mowgli: Grrr.
Baloo: Ha-ha-ha, ya, you're getting it, kid.
Bagheera: Oh no! It's Baloo! That shiftless stupid jungle bum.
[Baloo and Mowgli dance around again]

Group 5
Baloo:

Weave about, now look for an opening. Keep movin', keep

[Mowgli takes some swings at Baloo's nose but misses]


Ha-ha! Ya, you're getting it kid, ha-ha. Come on, that's it. Ha-ha-ha!
He's a dandy!
[Baloo playfully slaps Mowgli which sends him rolling around and leaves knocked
out on the ground]
Bagheera: Heh-heh. Fine teacher you are, old Iron Paws.
Baloo:

Oh thanks, Bagheera.

Bagheera: Yeah, tell me, tell me after you know your pupil senseless, and how do
you expect him to remember the lesson?
[Mowgli at this time already came to and sits on the ground, shaking head]
Baloo:

Well, I, I didn't mean to lay it on him so hard.

[Mowgli walks to Baloo, though kinda unsteadily]


Mowgli: I'm not hurt. I'm all right. I'm a lot tougher than some people think.
Baloo:

You better believe it! Now let's go once more. Now you keep ciclin' or

I'm gonna knock your roof in again, you better keep movin' -[Mowgli hits Baloo into lower jaw]
Ooph!
[Baloo playfully falls down]
Hey! Right on the button!
[Mowgli climbs on him, occasionally tickling him with his feet]
Ah, ha-ha, no, no-no, now you're tickling. ha-ha-ha
[Mowgli starts tickling him deliberately]
No, no, we don't do that here, no cheating, no, you're tickling, I
can't stand tickling, heh-heh-heh. Help, Bagheera!
Bagheera: Now that's all he needs. More confidence.
Mowgli: Give up, Baloo?
Baloo:

I give up, I told ya. Oh, I give--

[Mowgli stops]

Group 6

[Rock almost falls on Mowgli]


Bagheera: Mowgli, look out!
Baloo:

The bare necessities of life will come to you

Mowgli (trying to catch an ant): When?


Baloo:

They'll come to you


Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life
Now when you pick a paw-paw
Or a prickly pear

Mowgli (pricking finger): Ow!


Baloo:

And you prick a raw paw


Well, next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear try to use the claw

But you don't need to use the claw


When you pick a pair of the big paw-paw
Have I give you a clue?
Mowgli: Golly, thanks, Baloo!
Bagheera: Paw-paw, ha! Of all the silly gibberish
Baloo (pulling Bagheera by the tail): Come on, Baggy, get with the beat!
The bare necessities of life will come to you
Mowgli:

They'll come to me!

Baloo:

They'll come to you

[Music from the song goes on through the whole following scratching scene]
How 'bout scratchin' that old left shoulder while you're up there,
Mowgli? Now just a hair lower. There, right there. That's it. Ahh..
This is beautiful. That's good. Kid, we've got to get to a tree,
this calls for some big scratch!
Mowgli: You're lots of fun, Baloo!
[Baloo is now scratching against a tree]

Group 7

[Elephants walk away, falling trees as they go]


Shere Khan: Element of surprise? I say. Ha, ha, ha. And now for my rendezvous
with the lost man-cub.
{Fade to Mowgli walking aimlessly}
[Kaa picks Mowgli from the ground and raises to the branch he is on]
Mowgli: Kaa, it's you!
Kaa:

Yesss, man-cub, so nice to see you again. sss-sss-sss.

Mowgli: Oh, go away. Leave me alone.


Kaa:

Let me look at you.

[Mowgli turns away from Kaa's eyes]


You don't want me to look at you? Then you look at me.
Mowgli: No sir. I know what you're trying to do, Kaa.
Kaa:

You do? Uh, I mean, you don't trust me.

Mowgli: No!
Kaa:

Then there's nothing I can do to help?

Mowgli: You want to help me?

Kaa:

Ss-certainly. I can see to it that you never have to leave this


jungle.

Mowgli: How could you do that?


Kaa:

Hmm? Oh, I have my own ss-subtle little ways. But first, you must
trust me.

Mowgli: I don't trust anyone anymore.


Kaa:

I don't blame you. I'm not like those so-called fair-weather friends
of yours. You can believe in me.

[Kaa finally gets to see into Mowgli's eyes long enough]


(Singing)

Trust in me
Just in me
Shut your eyes
And trust in me
Hold still, please
You can sleep
Safe and sound
Knowing I
Am around
Slip into silent slumber
Sail on a silver mist
Slowly and surely your senses
Will cease to resist

[Mowgli snores while standing on his head on the tip of Kaa's tail]
You're snoring.
Mowgli: Sorry.
Kaa:

Trust in me
And just in me

[Shere Khan appears below and listens]


Shut your eyes
And trust in me
[Shere Khan pulls Kaa by the tail, making a doorbell sound]
Kaa:

Huh? Ow, now what? I'll be right down.


Yes? Yes? Who is it?

Shere Khan comes from behind the tree: It's me, Shere Khan
I'd like a word with you, if you don't mind.
Kaa:

Shere Khan. What a ss-surprise.

Shere Khan: Yes, isn't it? I just dropped by, forgive me if I've interrupted

anything.
Kaa:

Oh no, nothing at all.

Shere Khan bares claws: I thought you were entertaining someone up there
in your coils.
Kaa:

Coils? Someone? Oh, I was just curling up for my siesta.

Shere Khan: But you were singing to someone.


[He grabs Kaa's neck]

Group 8
[Bagheera arrives]
Bagheera: Mowgli, try to understand.
Mowgli: Bagheera, what's the matter with him?
Bagheera: You've got to be brave, like Baloo was.
Mowgli: 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.
[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:

He's cracking me up...

Bagheera: The memory of Baloo's sacrifice and bravery will forever be engraved
on our saddened hearts.
Baloo:

Beautiful.

[Meanwhile, rain stopped and sun begins to shine through again]
