## Dialogue

    Bagheera: 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. [sighs] I miss my bear cub.
    Bagheera: [sighs] It's not safe for him in the jungle. You know Shere Khan is looking for Mowgli.
    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!
    [Indian music playing]
    Ranjan: Hey, Mowgli!
    Shanti: Shh. Ranjan, hush. It's starting.
    Ranjan's Father: [laughs] Come, children. [Ranjan chuckles] Come watch. [to Mowgli] Mowgli, tell us your story.
    [Fire goes on]
    Mowgli: I never knew where I came from, but I always knew where I belonged. [Title card, The Jungle Book 2] 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.
    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: [roaring] You stay away from Mowgli, you mean old tiger or I'll tie some fire to your tail and burn your butt! Yaah! [rips the blanket]
    Ranjan's Mother: Ranjan!
    [Mowgli looked up with the puppet show was finished]
    Ranjan: Whoa! Uhh!
    Ranjan: [muffled roaring]
    [Shanti giggles, and Ranjan's Father laughing at Ranjan]
    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.
    [They happily laughing]
    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: [roars] Tigers go wherever they want!
    Shanti: Aah!
    Shanti's Mother: Ooh! [chuckles] Goodnight, boys.
    [Boys laughing]
    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: [yawns] Ah, we never get to stay up late.
    Ranjan's Father: [picking Ranjan up] Ha, ha! Even wild beasts need their sleep. [Ranjan roaring at his Father] Oh, help! Ferocious tiger!
    [Parents laughing]
    Ranjan's Mother: Ah, goodnight, my little wild thing. [kisses Ranjan's head]
    Ranjan's Father: [hugging Mowgli with his chest] Goodnight, Mowgli. Happy dreams.
    Mowgli: Um, goodnight... sir.
    Ranjan: Why do you always call him "Sir"? His name's "Pop".
    [Ranjan's Father put his fire and fire pit on the lid and cover it, and fade to black.]
    Ranjan: [beats Kaa repeatedly with a stick for trying to eat Shanti] Bad snake! Bad snake! Bad, bad, bad snake!
    Shanti: Ranjan? What are you doing here?
    Ranjan: You leave Shanti alone!
    Shanti: [regaining consciousness, realizing they're headed into the jungle and looking worried] Whoa, wait, wait. Stop! You're crossing the river. Mowgli, you can't go in the jungle. It's too dangerous. Mowgli? Stop!
    Ranjan's Father: Shanti, what is it? [To the children] Children. Children, come inside this instant, all of you! [The children start slowly walking back to the village] [to Mowgli] Mowgli? That includes you. [Shanti feels ashamed of herself and worriedly turns from the Village Leader to Mowgli as he slowly walks to him] I'm very disappointed in you. You put everyone in danger. You know that you're not allowed to cross the river, and yet you deliberately disobeyed me!
    Mowgli: But, but, I...
    Ranjan's Father: No, Mowgli. The jungle is a dangerous place. I should know. [shows scars on his arm] You are confined to your room without dinner. That should gave you plenty of time to think about what you've done. [As Mowgli heads towards the village he turns to Shanti, angrily looks at her and turns his back on her as she approaches him.]
    Shanti: M... Mowgli, I... I was only trying to hel... [Mowgli glares at her, and she sadly backs away and puts her hands down. As Mowgli angrily walks on into the village, Shanti looks on and holds her hands together.]
    Baloo: Hi, kid. Mind if I drop in?
    Mowgli: Baloo? Oh, Baloo...
    Baloo: Shhh.
    Mowgli: Papa Bear. Am I glad to see you. What are you doing here?
    Baloo: What am I doing here? Feeling right for the first time in a while, that's what. Hey, kid. Show me you can still fight like a bear. Come on. [Mowgli punches on his belly] Oh, Little Britches, you lost your touch.
    Shanti: Mowgli, I've got something for you. Mowgli, it's me. Don't be mad. I get grounded all the time.
    Shere Khan: Ah.
    Shanti: Mowgli, I'm sorry you got in trouble.
    Shere Khan: Come on, man cub. Show yourself.
    Baloo: Come on!
    Mowgli: Whoa!
    Shanti: Mowgli?
    Baloo: Come on. Stick and move.
    Shanti: [sees Baloo catching Mowgli and playing with him, thinking he is threatening her man cub and not knowing they're friends, shocked and frightened] Aaahhh! Help! Wild animal! There's a wild animal in the village!
    Baloo: What?! Wild animal? Where? Come on, let's get out of here.
    Shanti: Help!
    Shere Khan: What's that bear doing here?
    Shanti: There's a wild animal in the village!
    Ranjan's Father: What is the matter?
    Villager: There he is.
    Shanti: Where are you going? No, come back! Come back! You're going the wrong way!
    Ranjan: Whoa! A tiger! [roars]
    Villager: Don't let him get away.
    Shanti: No! Please...
    Baloo: We got to get out of here!
    Villager: Shanti, get indoors.
    Shanti: No, no, no. He's over... No! [groans in frustration, then quickly grabs a torch and bravely follows them]
    Shanti: I'm OK. Mom, I'm so sorry. I was just trying to help Mowgli. And then, I got lost and....
    Shanti's Mother: It's okay.
    Mowgli: I'm sorry, sir. It's just...
    Ranjan's Father: No, Mowgli. I'm sorry. I should have understood that the jungle is a part of who you are. [Smiles at Mowgli, who promptly smiles back and hugs him] I'm just glad you're safe.
    Kaa: Oh, mercy. [a coconut lands on Kaa's face and bounces off; Kaa stares in shock to see Shere Khan] Shh-Shere Khan?
    [Shere Khan punches the rock in Kaa's coils]
    Shere Khan: Anyone I know?
    Kaa: I wish. Stupid man-cub.
    [Shere Khan hooks Kaa's throat in his claws]
    Shere Khan: Man-cub?
    Kaa: Ohh. [laughs] Did-Did-Did I ss-say Man-cub? [his coils slither away] Well, well, I didn't know. I'd love to stay and shoot the breeze.
    [Shere Khan stops him from getting away]
    Shere Khan: What's your hurry?
    Kaa: [gulps] Uh, no reason I, I...
    [Shere Khan crawls his claws on Kaa's coils, and he drums him]
    Shere Khan: Where is he?
    Kaa: Who he?
    Shere Khan: The man-cub Mowgli. [scratches Kaa's neck] I know you know.
    Kaa: Ohh... But, but, but, I, I, I, I, I don't, I don't.
    Shere Khan: [grabs Kaa's throat] Oh, please don't insult my intelligence. It makes me irritable.
    Kaa: Oh, he's not in the village.
    Shere Khan: [squeezes Kaa's throat tightly] I know where he isn't. Now tell me, where...he...IS.
    Kaa: Well, he's, he's... THE SWAMP! He's at the ss-ss-swamp, yes.
    Shere Khan: Hmmm. The swamp, eh?
    Kaa: Yes. [he uses his hypnosis technique with his eyes] Trust in me.
    [Shere Khan lets go of Kaa's throat off in the ground]
    Shere Khan: Hmm. He's better be. [steps on Kaa's neck with his front paw] For your sake. [steps on his face with his rear paw]
    Kaa: [wheezing] He is! He is! [gasps] I'd ta-- I'd take you there myself, but I'm afraid I'd slow you down. Indigestion and all.
    Shere Khan: [arrives at the swamp, but doesn't see Mowgli, then realizes that Kaa has lied, as he looks at the water] That snake lied... [splashes the water with his paw] ...to me!
    Baloo: What are you laughing at? [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] What are you doing' out here, Baggy?
    [Baloo put his hands on Mowgli behind his back]
    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! Enough games, Baloo! Now give me the boy.
    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.
    [Baloo looks at Bagheera, then smiles, with his teeth out]
    Bagheera: [sighs] I know he's around here somewhere, and he can't hide forever.
    Baloo: Well, he won't get past you, Baggy.
    Bagheera: Hmm!
    [Mowgli finds Shanti and Ranjan, both of whom look scared by something]
    Mowgli: There you are! I'm so sorry. Will you let me explain? [Shanti backs away in fear] Come on! At least talk to me.
    [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.
    [Shanti, Mowgli, and Ranjan are now terrified]
    Mowgli: [to Shanti and Ranjan] Run!
    [Shanti and Ranjan flee the area. Mowgli turns to face Shere Khan and throws dust in his face before running for it]
    Shere Khan: Oh, you're going to try and outrun me. How droll!
    Mowgli: [catches up with Shanti and Ranjan] Come on! This way! [Behind them, Shere Khan gives chase with a snarl; Mowgli, Shanti, and Ranjan climb over a log to some bushes] All right. Stay here!
    Shanti: Mowgli, no! [Shere Khan leaps over the log with a roar; Shanti and Ranjan hide in the bushes] Ranjan, wait here. I gotta go help Mowgli!
    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: [shocked] Shere Khan? Hold on! [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: [laughing evilly] No matter how fast you can run, no matter where you can hide, I will catch you. [Shere Khan climbs up the stairs as Mowgli hides behind a gong, hyperventilating.] Come out, come out, wherever you are. [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: [gasps and races alongside him] Baloo! What is the meaning of this?!
    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.
    Lucky: Ask me if I can whup that tiger! Go on!
    Dizzy: Can you whup that tiger?
    Lucky: I Shere Khan! [Shere Khan gets annoyed by Lucky's mockeries; the other vultures laugh]
    Baloo: [singing] Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities, forget about your worries and your strife. Yeah! I mean the... [scatting as he bumps a coconut tree, causing a coconut to fall down, and he throws it onto a plant] ...that bring the bare necessities of life. [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] Now that's more like it! [laughs] Look at ya! Oh, growing like a proverbial weed. Let's see if you've still got it. [scatting] Take it away, little britches! [Nothing happens, Bagheera sadly watches Baloo from his branch]
    Bagheera: Poor fellow.
    Baloo: I said, take it away!!! [The coconut falls off the plant and rolls onto the ground. Baloo's smile turns into a frown as he sighs] This ain't gonna work... You just ain't Mowgli. I guess I gotta get used to singing solo.
    [Bagheera looks down at Baloo from his branch and can't help but feel sorry for him]
    Bagheera: He's just not getting over that-- [gasps when he sees that Baloo is gone] Oh, no. Not again! Baloo. Baloo! [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]
    [A shocked Bagheera spies on the villagers]
    Ranjan's Father: Mowgli! [sighs] Perhaps I was too harsh on the boy.
    Ranjan's Mother: Don't worry. We'll find them. [they both smile]
    Ranjan's Father: Mowgli!
    Ranjan's Mother: Ranjan!
    Villager: Shanti!
    Bagheera: [shock turns to anger] Baloo...!
    [Baloo runs into Shanti, and they begin to argue]
    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: [overlapping Baloo] 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--
    Baloo: And, that's why--
    Both: I'm here to help Mowgli! [they hesitate] You are?
    Baloo: I guess we're on the same side.
    Shanti: [still coming to terms with the fact that Baloo is benevolent] I guess so.
    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: [chuckles] Well isn't this a delightful turn of events? [chuckles] So, what's it going to be, man-cub? You or your adorable little girlfriend? [Shanti throws her sticks at Shere Khan] I'm waiting! One, two--
    Mowgli: [realizes that Shere Khan is going to kill Shanti and comes out from his hiding place and said] No! Don't!
    Shere Khan: Three-- [turns to see Mowgli; he chuckles then scowls] No more games, man-cub.
    [Shere Khan charges at Mowgli, Baloo bashes Shere Khan with his hip]
    Shanti: Mowgli?!
    Mowgli: Come on!
    [they run up a staircase; Baloo grabs Shere Khan, trying to slow him down, but the tiger hits Baloo in the face, knocking him aside]
    Baloo: Mowgli! Look out!
    Shanti: [realizing there's a pit of lava at the bottom] Oh, no!
    Mowgli: We can do it! Jump!
    [they jump across and just barely grab onto the statue at the other end. Shere Khan is close behind and effortlessly leaps across]
    Mowgli: Come on!
    [he and Shanti climb on top of the statue. Shere Khan, using all his strength, climbs up after the children and corners them]
    Shere Khan: Mowgli... [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...
    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]
