The Jungle Book 2 Page #3

---

Hey. Not bad.

Where'd you learn that?

- Shanti showed me.

- Shanti?

No. I, I said wanti.

I wanti another mango.

No, that's not what you said.

You said Shanti.

No, I didn't.

- Yes, you did.

- No, I didn't.

- Did.

- Didn't.

- Uh-huh.

- Uh-uh.

- I heard it.

- Who cares about Shanti?

It's just a stupid trick, right?

Yeah, right.

You don't need her, kid.

You're with old Baloo now.

What are you laughing at?

What're you doing here, Baggy?

Haven't you heard?

Man is in the jungle.

What do they want?

They're searching for Mowgli.

Mowgli?

Perhaps maybe you

have seen the boy.

Me? Uh, no.

Well, you know

his future is in that village.

Yes.

I just wish I knew where he was.

Yeah. Sorry.

I wish I could help you out, Baggy.

Enough games, Baloo!

Give me the boy.

Baggy, Baggy, Baggy.

I can explain.

I can explain. I...

I can explain, but I don't have to.

As you can plainly see,

Mowgli is not here. I'm all alone.

I know he's around here somewhere.

And he can't hide forever.

Well, he won't get past you, Baggy.

Kid?

Kid, where'd you go?

You trying to scare the tick

out of my ticker?

Wow.

The whole village, looking for me?

- We can't let nobody see you.

- I thought they were mad.

We got to lay low.

They must really miss me.

I wonder if Shanti's with them.

Shanti?

You definitely don't want her

to find you.

Do you?

No. We can't let anyone find us,

especially that girl.

Come on, Baloo, we gotta get

moving. Lay low. Hunker down.

Hibernate, like.

Now, Mowgli,

what if that girl tracks us down?

What are you going to do?

Then you'll have to scare her.

Scare her?

Has the milk run out of your coconut?

No, she's terrified of wild animals.

In case you haven't noticed, kid,

I'm no wild animal.

Except at parties.

I suppose I'm more of a honey bear.

You can do it, Baloo.

You taught me, remember?

You scrunch up your eyes like this.

And show your teeth like this.

And roar like this.

Roar?

No, no. Like you mean it!

Do you want that girl to take me back

to the village?

Yeah, man. That was great.

Well, I don't know.

Trust me, that'll do it.

In that case, Mowgli,

consider that girl scarified.

- Thanks, Papa Bear.

- Anything for my Little Britches.

OK, let's skedaddle.

Now don't worry.

I got a place downriver.

- It's the perfect hideout.

- Real quiet, huh?

Quiet?

You want quiet, go back to the

man village. This place is happening.

OK, here's the village.

We cross the river and...

Ranjan, be careful!

OK, we went right.

No, no, no, left. Left, I mean.

Right. No, left, then right.

Oh!

This jungle all looks the same!

Ranjan, what's that?

Mowgli? He must have been here!

Or some animal

with really sharp claws.

That snake lied to me.

Now, don't take it out on the water

just because

you don't like the reflection.

I mean, not everyone

can be born with such great looks.

You let that tiger

get his claws on you

and you won't be so good-looking.

What? That pussycat?

He's harmless. Watch this.

Oh, no.

What's the matter, Stripes?

Man cub got your tongue?

Lucky, let's find something to do

somewhere else.

No, no. Hang on, fellas.

I got another one.

How many men does it take

to whup a tiger?

Surprise me.

None. A little kid can do it

all by himself.

- Come on, Lucky, let's go.

- Come on.

In fact, we heard that kid

is right here in the jungle.

Right under your whiskers.

Interesting.

I heard he's headed

back to the village.

Wrong again, kitty.

No, Lucky, keep your gob shut.

They say he's headed downriver,

with a bear.

Downriver, you say?

Don't listen to him.

Yeah. He's new around here.

He don't know anything

On the contrary,

he seems to know quite a lot.

Hold on, hot pants! Where's the fire?

Isn't it ironic

that your name is Lucky?

Come on, lads, this way!

This is the perfect hideout?

This is King Louie's place.

Was, kid, was. He's splitsville.

Me and the monkeys turned it into

the greatest secret hideout ever.

Coming through. Hey, Baloo.

Good to see you back again, man.

- Everybody knows about it.

- Then how can it be a secret?

I mean, everybody who's anybody.

Nobody who's nobody don't know

nothing about no place

that everybody who's anybody

knows about. You dig?

My head hurts.

Turn the thinker off a minute

and just dive in.

Step aside, and I'll show you

what a real rug-cutter can do.

Ladies and gentlemen,

please welcome

the boss of bop, the jack of jive,

the jungle cat

who's really gonna keep it alive.

Get ready to stir it up

and serve it up.

I'm talking about

Baloo is in the house!

Hey, cats, alright!

When we start to move

Hey, honey, it ain't no joke

We got a savage groove

We didn't learn from human folk

No human folk

Excuse our incivility

We're W-I-I-I-L-D

When the music plays

All the people stomp their feet

But a stomping paw

Can lay down a better beat

Tell me we ain't naturally

W-I-I-I-L-D

It's a snap

To bring out the beast in you

You're free like the bird it's true

Or a frog or a hog or...

Oh, man, whatever!

From the baddest cat

To the sweetest little deer

Tonight's the night

We're gonna get our tails in gear

Show me your ferocity

Go W-I-I-I-L-D

We snort, we squeak

Up high or deep underground

We snarl, we shriek

We fly round and round and round

Ah, go, you sweet thing.

That's inhuman, baby.

The old mongoose

Gets good and loose

The ocelot gives it all he's got

The parakeet

Goes, "Twiddlee-deet"

The red macaque

Shouts "Hang on, Jack!"

- The tiny worm

- The pachyderm

- The spotted cat

- The water rat

- The great cuckoo

- The bear Baloo

Are W-I-I-I-L-D

Here's the thing!

If we're broke, we never squawk

We don't need to check no clock

To know what time it is

It's time to rock

When you dance like that

Hey, honey, it sure is hip

I can't stand it!

I want to tip my hat

But I got no hat to tip

I don't need no hat.

Ask me why and I won't lie

I'm W-I-I-I-L-D

We grunt, we growl

Up high or deep underground

We hoot, we howl

We fly round and round and round

My oh me, it's plain to see

We're W-I-I-I-L-D

He, she, me, uniquely

W-I-I-I-L-D

Every beastie running free

W-I-I-I-I-I

L- D!

Whoo-hoo. That's my boy.

They don't swing like that

in your man village, do they kid?

Well, no.

Big fat no.

Say, what that village like, anyway?

Whoa, don't bother the kid.

He told me all about that scene.

Let me lay it out for you.

Those people are crazy.

Everybody works and nobody plays.

Oh, man!

They got nothing

but rules, rules, rules.

And there's even this girl who thinks

the jungle is a scary place.

But, you know, it doesn't matter,

cos Mowgli will never see that

village or that crazy girl again.

Ain't that so, kid?

Mowgli? Mowgli?

Mowgli?

Mowgli?

That morning sun

Peeks over the mountains

And all the rhinos rub their eyes

When they hear

Hear the jungle rhythm

Did we find Mowgli yet?

Are you tired?

A little.

I'm sure we'll find him soon.

Come on. Hop up.

You OK up there?
