The Jungle Book 1967 - Movie Quotes

Mowgli Oh, Baloo, I wanna stay with you.

Baloo Certainly, you do.

Bagheera Oh? And just how do you think he will survive?

Baloo "How do you think he will... " What do you mean how do you think he... He's with me, ain't he? And I'll learn him all I know.

Bagheera [sarcastic] Oh? That shouldn't take too long.

Mowgli [to the unconscious Baloo] Baloo, get up. Oh, please get up.

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... 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.

[At this point, Baloo starts waking up, unbeknownst to Bagheera and Mowgli]

Bagheera Whenever great deeds are remembered in this jungle, one name will stand above all others: our friend, Baloo the bear.

[Baloo is so moved by this that he starts crying]

Baloo [sniffing] He's cracking me up.

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

Baloo Beautiful.

Bagheera This spot where Baloo fell will always be a hallowed place in the jungle, for there lies one of nature's noblest creatures.

Baloo I wish my mother could have heard this.

Bagheera It's best we leave now. Come along, man-cub.

Baloo [suddenly wide awake] Hey, don't stop now, Baggy, you're doing great! There's more, lots more!

Bagheera [shocked and angry] Why, you big fraud! You-you-you four-flusher! I-I'm fed up!...

Mowgli [ecstatic] Baloo! You're all right!

Baloo Who, me? Sure I am. Never felt better.

Baloo [singing] Now when you pick a pawpaw / Or a prickly pear / 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 pear of the big pawpaw / Have I given you a clue?

Mowgli Golly, thanks, Baloo.

Bagheera Pawpaw, ha! Of all the silly gibberish.

Baloo [tugging on Bagheera's tail] C'mon, Baggy, get with the beat.

King Louie [singing] Now, I'm the king of the swingers, whoa / The jungle V.I.P. / I've reached the top and had to stop / And that's what's botherin' me / I wanna be a man, Man Cub / And stroll right into town / And be just like the other men / I'm tired of monkeyin' around.

Shere Khan Bravo, Bravo. An extraordinary performance. And thank you for detaining my victim.

Flaps D-don't mention it...

[gulps]

Flaps ...Your Highness.

Shere Khan [laughs] Boo!

[Vultures flee up to their tree]

Dizzy Let's get out of here!

Buzzie Gimme room, gangway!

[to Mowgli]

Buzzie Run, friend, run!

Mowgli Run? Why should I run?

Shere Khan Why should you run? Is it possible that you don't know who I am?

Mowgli I know you alright. You're Shere Khan.

Shere Khan Precisely. And you should know that everyone runs from Shere Khan.

Mowgli You don't scare me. I won't run from anyone.

Shere Khan Ah, you have spirit for one so small. And such spirit is deserving of a sporting chance. Now, I'm going to close my eyes and count to ten. It makes the chase more interesting... for me. One...

[Music gets tenser as Mowgli looks for something to defend himself with as Shere Khan continues counting]

Shere Khan ...two...

[Mowgli spots something and goes over to retrieve it]

Shere Khan ...three...

[as Mowgli picks up a stick, Shere Khan begins to suspect something]

Shere Khan ...four...

[Mowgli prepares to defend himself]

Shere Khan You're trying my patience. Five, six, seven, eight, nine, TEN!

[Shere Khan leaps at Mowgli with a loud roar, Mowgli loses all of his nerve at the sight of this fearsome creature]

Baloo So just try and... relax. Yeah. Cool it. Fall apart in my backyard. 'Cause let me tell you something, little britches: if you act like that bee at... Uh-uh. You're working too hard. And don't spend your time lookin' around for something you want that can't be found...

Baloo [singing] When you find out you can live without it / And go along not thinking about it / I'll tell you something true / The bare necessities of life will come to you.

[Kaa tries to hypnotize Shere Khan just as he did to Mowgli]

Kaa [singing] Trust in me...

[Shere Khan bats him away with his free paw]

Shere Khan I can't be bothered with that, I have no time for that nonsense.

Kaa Ssssssssome other time, perhaps?

Shere Khan [Scratches Kaa's nostril with his claw] Perhaps. But at the moment I'm searching for a man-cub.

Kaa Man-cub? What man-cub?

Shere Khan The one who's lost. Now where do you suppose he could be?

Kaa Search me?

[Kaa covers his mouth to stifle his gasp]

Shere Khan That's an excellent idea. I'm sure you wouldn't mind showing me your coils, would you, Kaa?

Kaa Ccccccertainly not.

[Shows his tail]

Kaa Nothing here, and nothing in here.

[Points into his mouth]

Kaa [Mowgli snores up in the treetop and Shere Khan's ears prick up at the sound; Kaa snores noisly]

Kaa It'ssssssss my ssssinuses.

Shere Khan Hm.

[looks up at the treetop]

Shere Khan Indeed. And now, how about the middle?

Kaa The middle? Oh, the middle.

[Kaa unfurls part of his midsection, twirling Mowgli around in his sleep, and brings it down for Shere Khan to inspect, which he does]

Kaa [laughs] I-I-I assure you there's nothing in the middle.

Shere Khan Hmm, barely. Well, if you do so happen to see the man-cub, you will inform me first.

[Scratches Kaa's chin]

Shere Khan Understand?

Kaa [gulps] I get the point. Cross my heart, hope to die.

Shere Khan In good show. And now I must continue my search for the helpless little lad.

[Shere Khan wanders off, Kaa frowns]

Kaa Oh, who does he think he's fooling. The helpless little lad... woooo he gives me the shhhhhhivers.

[Kaa's shivering wakes up Mowgli]

Kaa Picking on that poor, little, helpless boy. Oh yes... poor, little, helpless boy.

[Mowgli pushes the rest of Kaa's coils off the branch he is on and sends him falling to the ground]

Baloo Oh, gee whiz. Now, how did ol' Baggy put it? Uh, uh, Mowgli... Ha! You wouldn't marry a panther, would you?

Mowgli Gee, I don't even know what you're talking about.

Baloo [serious] Mowgli, don't you realize that you're a human?

Mowgli I'm not any more, Baloo. I'm a bear like you.

Baloo Little buddy, look. Listen to me.

Mowgli [play fighting] Come on, Baloo.

Baloo Mowgli, stop it now. Hold still. I wanna tell you something. Now listen to me.

Mowgli [smiling] What's the matter, ol' papa bear?

Baloo Look, Mowgli, I've been trying to tell ya, I've been trying all morning to tell ya. I've got to take you back to the man-village!

Mowgli [shocked] The man-village?

Baloo Now look, kid, I can explain...

[as Kaa is about to eat Mowgli, Shere Khan pulls on his tail, which makes a doorbell sound]

Kaa Ooh! Oh, now what? I'll be right down. Yes, yes, who is it?

Shere Khan It's me. Shere Khan. I'd like a word with you, if you don't mind.

Kaa Shere Khan, what a surprise.

Shere Khan Yes, isn't it. I just dropped by. Now forgive me if I've interrupted anything.

Kaa Oh no, no, nothing at all.

Shere Khan [brandishing his claws] I thought perhaps that you were entertaining someone up there in your coils.

Kaa Coils? Someone? Oh no, I was just curling up for my siesta.

Shere Khan But you were singing to someone. Who is it, Kaa?

[Shere Khan grabs Kaa's throat with his paw]

Kaa Ah, um, oh no, I was just singing, uh, to myself.

Shere Khan Indeed.

Kaa Yes... yes, you see I have... trouble with my sinuses.

Shere Khan What a pity!

Kaa Oh, you have no idea. It's simply terrible. I can't eat, I can't sleep, so I ssssssing myself to sleep. You know, self-hypnosis. Let me show you how it works.

[Kaa prepares to look in Shere Khan's eyes and try to hypnotize him]

Winifred Now just a minute, you pompous old windbag!

Colonel Hathi Winifred, what are you doing out of ranks?

Winifred Never mind! How would you like to have our boy lost and alone in the jungle?

Colonel Hathi Our son?

[close to a mumble]

Colonel Hathi Alone?

[out loud]

Colonel Hathi But Winifred, old girl, that's an entirely different matter!

Winifred Hmph!

Colonel Hathi [proudly] Different entirely.

Winifred That little boy is no different than our own son. Now you help find him or I'm taking over command!

Colonel Hathi What? A female leading my herd? Utterly preposterous!

Junior Pop, the man cub and I are friends. He'll get hurt if we don't find him. Please, Pop, sir, please?

Colonel Hathi [softening up a tinge] Now don't you worry, son. Your father had a plan in mind all the time.

Colonel Hathi Esprit de corps! That's the way I earned my commission in the Majarajah's Fifth Pachyderm Brigade. Back in '88 it was. Or... or was it?

Bagheera Baloo, birds of a feather should flock together. You wouldn't marry a panther now, would you?

Baloo I don't know.

[laughs]

Baloo Come to think of it, no panther has ever asked me. Ha-ha.

Bagheera [getting irritated] Baloo, you've got to be serious...

Baloo Oh, stop worrying, Baggy! Stop worrying! I'll take care of him.

Bagheera [sarcastic] Yes, like you did when the monkeys kidnapped him, huh?

Baloo Can't a guy make one mistake?

Bagheera [sternly] Not in the jungle! And another thing, sooner or later Mowgli will meet Shere Khan.

Baloo The tiger? What's he got against the kid?

Bagheera He hates man with a vengenance. You know that! Because he fears man's gun and man's fire.

Baloo But little Mowgli don't have those things.

Bagheera Shere Khan won't wait until he does. He'll get Mowgli while he's young and helpless. Just one swipe!

Baloo Oh! Well, what... what are we going to do?

Bagheera Do what's best for the boy.

Baloo [determinned] You better believe it! You name it, I'll do it.

Bagheera [pleased] Good. Then make Mowgli go to the man-village.

Baloo Are you out of your mind? I promised him that he could stay here in the jungle with me.

Bagheera Well, that's just the point! As long as he remains with you, he's in danger! So, it's up to you.

Baloo Why me?

Bagheera B-because he won't listen to me.

Baloo But I love that kid.

[sniffs]

Baloo I love him like he was my own cub!

Bagheera Then think what's best for Mowgli, and not yourself.

Baloo Uh... well, can't... well, can't I wait until morning?

Bagheera It's morning now. Go on Baloo.

[Baloo sighs and approaches Mowgli who is asleep]

Baloo Oh boy!

Mowgli [sees the girl] Look. What's that?

Bagheera Oh, it's the man-village.

Mowgli No, no. I mean that.

Baloo Forget about those, they ain't nothing but trouble.

Mowgli Just a minute. I've never seen one before.

Baloo So you've seen one. So let's go.

Mowgli I'll be right back. I want a better look.

Baloo Mowgli, wait a minute.

Bagheera Oh, Baloo. Let him have a better look.

🥱

Baloo Now, look. It's like this, little britches. All you gotta do is...

Baloo [singing] Look for the bare necessities / The simple bare necessities / Forget about your worries and your strife / I mean the bare necessities / Are Mother Nature's recipies / That bring the bare necessities of life / Wherever I wander / Wherever I roam / I couldn't be fonder / Of my big home / The bees are buzzin' in the tree / To make some honey just for me / When you look under the rocks and plants / And take a glance at the fancy ants / Then maybe try a few...

Mowgli You eat ants?

Baloo You better believe it. And you're gonna *love* the way they tickle.

[first lines]

Bagheera Many strange legends are told of these jungles of India, but none so strange as the story of a small boy named Mowgli. It all began when the silence of the jungle was broken by an unfamiliar sound.

[Sound of baby crying]

Bagheera It was a sound like one never heard before in this part of the jungle. It was a man cub! Had I known how deeply I was to be involved, I would've obeyed my first impulse and walked away.

Mowgli [his mouth full of banana] Stay in the jungle? I sure do.

King Louie Good, and ol' King Louie...

[scatting]

King Louie Ba-ba-do-bay-boo-boo-doo-doo...

[stops scatting]

King Louie ... that's me, can fix it for you.

[he takes two bananas, while holding up three fingers]

King Louie Have two bananas.

[like the first one, he pops these two out of their skins and into Mowgli's mouth]

King Louie Have we got a deal?

Mowgli [his mouth full of banana] Yes, sir, I'll do...

[he swallows them]

Mowgli I'll do anything to stay in the jungle.

King Louie Well, then, I'll lay it on the line for you.

Mowgli You cut that out!

[Louie decides to give Mowgli a wedgie, Mowgli is flailing his arms around trying to reach King Louie feeling mad]

King Louie Cool it, boy. Unwind yourself.

King Louie . Now come, let's shake, cousin

Mowgli What do you want me for?

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

🥱

Bagheera Mowgli, this time we're not going back. I'm taking you to a man-village.

Mowgli [shocked] But why?

Bagheera Because Shere Khan has returned to this part of the jungle. And he has sworn to kill you.

Mowgli Kill me? But why would he wanna do that?

Bagheera He hates man. And Shere Khan is not going to allow you to grow up to become a man. Just another hunter with a gun.

Mowgli Aw, we'll just explain to him that I'd never do a thing like that.

Bagheera Nonsense. No one explains anything to Shere Khan.

Mowgli Well, maybe so. But I'm not afraid. And besides, I...

Bagheera [interrupts Mowgli] Now that's enough.

Bagheera [to Baloo while Mowgli sleeps after they save him from King Louie] Mowgli seems to have man's ability to get into trouble, and your influence hasn't been exactly...

Baloo Shh!

[softly]

Baloo Keep it down! You're gonna wake little buddy. He's had a big day. It was a sockeroo. You know, it ain't easy learning to be like me.

Bagheera [scoffs] A disgraceful performance! Associating with those undesirable scatterbrain apes? I hope Mowgli learned something from that experience.

Mowgli [in his sleep] Scoobie-doobie-doobie, doobie-do...

Baloo [laughs] That's my boy.

Bagheera Oh, nonsense.

Colonel Hathi [Seeing Mowgli for the first time] Well, a new recruit, eh? Ha ha... uh say, what happened to your trunk?

[Begins prodding Mowgli's nose with his twig]

Mowgli [Much annoyed] Hey, stop that!

Colonel Hathi [Surprised beyond belief] A mancub! This is treason!

[Picks Mowgli up with his trunk]

Colonel Hathi Sabotage! I'll have no mancub in my jungle!

[Puts him down]

Mowgli It's not your jungle!

Bagheera [Running onto the scene] Hold it! Hold it! I can explain, Hathi.

Colonel Hathi Colonel Hathi, if you please sir.

Bagheera Oh yes. Colonel Hathi. The mancub is with me. I'm taking him to the man village.

Colonel Hathi To stay?

Bagheera You have the word of Bagheera.

Colonel Hathi Good. And remember: an elephant never forgets!

[far away, Bagheera hears Baloo's echoing holler and Bagheera starts back]

Bagheera Well, it's happened. It took a little longer than I thought, but it's happened.

[Baloo struggles up the cliff while Bagheera returns to the cliff where Baloo fell, just as Baloo climbs back up]

Baloo [hollering right in Bagheera's ear] BAGHEERA!

[his echoing holler startles and stuns Bagheera, who glares at him]

Baloo Oh, you heard me, huh?

Bagheera Mowgli? Mowgli!

[he turns to Baloo]

Bagheera All right, what's happened? Where's Mowgli?

Baloo They ambushed me, thousands of 'em!

[he strikes several fighting poses as he says:]

Baloo I jabbed with my left, then I swung with a right, and then I...

Bagheera [exasperated] Oh, for the last time, what happened to Mowgli?

Baloo Like I told ya, them mangy monkeys carried him off!

Bagheera The ancient ruins? Oh, I hate to think what will happen when he meets that king of theirs.

Akela [to his fellow wolves about Mowgli] Shere Khan will surely kill the boy and all who try to protect him. Now, are we all in agreement as to what must be done?

[the wolves nod]

Akela Now it is my unpleasant duty to tell the boy's father. Rama? Come over here, please.

Father Wolf Yes, Akela?

Akela The Council has reached its decision. Man-cub can no longer stay with the pack. He must leave at once.

Father Wolf Leave?

Akela I am sorry, Rama; there is no other way.

Father Wolf But... but the man-cub is... is like my own son. Surely he's entitled to the protection of the pack.

Akela But, Rama, even the strength of the pack is no match for the tiger.

Father Wolf But the boy cannot survive alone in the jungle.

Bagheera Akela, perhaps I can be of help.

Akela You, Bagheera? How?

Bagheera I know of a man-village where he'll be safe. Mowgli and I have taken many walks into the jungle together. I'm sure he'll go with me.

Akela So be it. Now there's no time to lose. Good luck.

[Baloo has told Mowgli that he has to take him back to the man-village and Mowgli runs off. Baloo calls for him, but only Bagheera answers]

Bagheera And now what's happened?

Baloo You're not gonna believe me, Bagheera, but look. Now I used the same words you did and he ran out on me!

Bagheera Well, don't just stand there! Let's separate! We've got to find him.

[he runs off]

Baloo [going off in a different direction] Oh, boy, if anything happens to that little guy, I'll never forgive myself. I've *gotta* find him!

Baloo Take me home, daddy!

King Louie King Louie, Baloo: Can learn to be like someone like you.

King Louie One more time!

Baloo [as Louie slaps him on the back, his disguise falls apart] Yeah! Can learn to be like someone like me!

Baloo Man!

Mowgli Bagheera, where are we going?

Bagheera You're going back to the man-village right now.

Mowgli I'm not going.

Bagheera Oh, yes, you are.

Mowgli [grabbing a hold of a small tree by a river] I'm staying right here.

Bagheera You're going if I have to drag you every step of the way.

[He grabs a hold of Mowgli's loincloth around his middle in his teeth and tries to tug him off to get him to let go of the tree]

Bagheera [through his teeth] Let go, you!

Mowgli *You* let go of *me*!

[as Bagheera pulls harder, he accidentally lets go and falls into the river. As he climbs out of the river, he hits head against a fallen log]

Bagheera [furious] 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.

Baloo I'll tear him limb from limb! I'll beat him! I'll... I'll...

Bagheera [after Baloo has just sacrified himself to save Mowgli from Shere Khan] Greater love hath no one than he who lays down his life for his friend. When great deeds are remembered in this jungle, one name will stand above all others: our friend, Baloo the bear. The memory of Baloo's sacrifice and bravery will forever be engraved on our saddened hearts. This spot where Baloo fell will always be a hallowed place in the jungle, for there lies one of nature's noblest creatures.

Kaa [hypnotizing Bagheera] Look me in the eye when I'm speaking to you.

Bagheera [one eye open] Please, Kaa...

Kaa Both eyes, if you please.

[Bagheera is in a trance while Mowgli tries to move a section of Kaa's heavy body off the tree]

Kaa You have just s-s-s-s-sealed your doom... Ooh...
