SIDE 1

(stretching and yawning)
Bagheera, I'm getting a little sleepy. Shouldn't we start back home?

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

(A COCONUT TREE drops a coconut on MOWGLI, who catches it, breaks it open, and eats it.)

But why?

Because Shere Khan the tiger has returned to this part of the jungle, and he wants to hurt you.

(MOWGLI hops off BAGHEERA's back and climbs the COCONUT TREE, which hugs him.)

Me? But I've never even met him.

He hates man. Man makes fire and hunts tigers with guns.

Oh, we'll just explain to him that I'd never do that.

You can't explain things to tigers.

But I want to stay in the jungle!

It's not safe for you anymore.

I can take care of myself!

(chuckling)
Alone? I don't think so.

(yawning)
Now, come down from there and get some rest. You're going to need it.

(The COCONUT TREE gently releases MOWGLI as BAGHEERA finds a comfortable spot and falls asleep. MOWGLI, frustrated, curls up at the foot of the COCONUT TREE.)

Not safe for me anymore. HA!

SIDE 2

(pushing away)
Hey! You're not a rock!

(fending him off)
Easy, man...

(preparing to punch)
Get outta my way!

(MOWGLI grunts and groans as he tries to punch and kick BALOO, to no effect.)

(laughing)
Well, now. That's pretty big talk, little britches.

I'm warning you. You're asking for it!

You want to fight like a bear? Go ahead, give me a big bear growl. Scare me.

(gritting his teeth "ferociously")
Rrrr.

Oh, boy. I'm talkin' about a big bear. Right from your toes.

(trying again)
Grrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

No, silly. Like this: GRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
