Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle Quotes

  • Akela: When you were a cub, I looked you in the eye and saw no fear. I believed that one day you would bring peace to the jungle. But you have become a man now.

    Mowgli: I'm not a man! But neither am I a wolf.

  • Kaa: I think we can all agree, Mowgli, that you are something the jungle has never seen before.

  • Shere Khan: [to Mowgli] My, my. How you've grown.

  • [Mowgli is in a cage]

    Bagheera: I lived in a king's palace, in a cage just like this. I bit, and I scratched, and I spent my entire life fighting. Until one day, I just stopped, and they gave me their trust. Gain their trust, and they'll let you out.

  • [from trailer, before a race with the other wolves]

    Mowgli: What happens if you fail?

    Baloo: You don't JOIN THE PACK!

  • [first lines]

    Kaa: [narrates] I am the jungle's eyes. I can see the past, and the future. It is I, Kaa, who witnessed the coming of man. And the jungle trying to survive. I saw chaos and darkness come to our lands. I saw the tiger, Shere Khan, killing man, and breaking the jungle's ancient law. And then, one fateful night, I saw the jungle place its hopes into the hands of a small creature, the like of which it had never seen before.

  • Mowgli: [softly] Sleep now, Shere Khan. Be angry no more.

  • [last lines]

    Kaa: [narrates] With the tiger and the hunter now gone, the future shimmered from darkness into light. Mowgli, man and wolf, both and neither, had given the jungle a voice. And for as long as he stood watch, it would speak a lasting peace.

  • Kaa: Are you afraid of me?

    Mowgli: No...

    Kaa: Sometimes fear is the only intelligent response, don't you think?

  • Kaa: [to a silent Mowgli] Say something, or I shall get bored. And when I get bored, I get hungry!

  • Kaa: The whole jungle has been watching you, man-cub.

    Mowgli: Why?

    Kaa: Even you must know you are unusual. Not quite a wolf, not quite a man, or neither, or both...

  • Shere Khan: The man-cub is mine! I have already tasted its mother's blood! It is my right.

    Nisha: Your right according to whose law?

  • Kaa: One day you will speak, and the jungle will listen. What will you say then, man-cub?

  • Akela: [to Shere Khan] This cub is under the protection of the pack. Should you decide to take me, you take on the pack, all of us.

  • Akela: The cub is spoken for, he is one of us! You will treat him as you would your own. As long as I am alive, the pack will stand by the man-cub.

  • Akela: You have no right to be here, Shere Khan.

    Shere Khan: I think you'll find I stay where I please.

    Akela: You kill man's cattle, you poison the jungle. You're the reason man is here!

    Shere Khan: But you permitted man to live among you! You pretend he is a wolf. And you know that is the one thing he will never be. He will always be a man! YOU poisoned the jungle.

  • Shere Khan: My, my... how you've grown.

    Shere Khan: [Slaps monkey aside] And how much chaos you've brought upon the pack. So... much more... to come.

  • Kaa: [protecting Mowgli from the monkeys] Leave the man-cub alone. He belongs with us!

  • Baloo: I saw that look in your eye when you were standing over him!

    Bagheera: I did what I did because I had too.

    Baloo: Do you think I am stupid? I saw what you did!

    [Bagheera and Baloo start fighting]

  • Baloo: He was in the lead! I trained that boy! Why did you have to do that?

    Bagheera: HE HAD TO FAIL!

    [Bagheera bites Baloo on the leg]

    Bagheera: Why can't you see how much danger he's in?

    Baloo: The pack would've protected him!

    Bagheera: Khan will kill him and tear the pack apart!

    Baloo: You are not the only one who cares about the boy!

    Bagheera: All you cared about is that he passed!

    Baloo: That's because it's my job!

  • Shere Khan: I will have your blood!

  • Bhoot: Bagheera! Baloo! Up here! Mowgli's been taken by the monkey people!
