(chirping birds)

- Ya-hoo!

(adventurous music)

(laughing)

- Yippee! - Whoa!

(screaming)

- Kichi, watch this.

(whirring)

(thumping)

- Now, you watch. (laughing)

- Kichi!

- Ya-hoo!

Ahhh!

Oof.

Ow!

- Hm? (laughing)

- Huh, it's not funny!

I could've injured myself, that's quite a drop.

(moaning)

- Come on, Kichi, let's go.

(ominous music)

Ya-hoo!

- That boy's always practicing.

All this work is going to make him

a very skilled hunter, indeed.

(mystical music)

(splashing)

(grunting)

- No!

(laughing)

- Nice dive, Mowgli.

- Humph.

- Mowgli is forever coming up with new hunting ideas.

They don't always work right away

but he doesn't let that discourage him.

- I should hope not, after all, he's my student.

And if there's one lesson I've tried to teach him

it's if at first you don't succeed--

- Try, try again.

And for your information,

I'm the one who taught him that lesson.

- Humph. - But, don't worry, Bagheera,

I know you've done your share

to teach Mowgli about the jungle.

I must admit, I haven't been much of a teacher lately.

It's been a while since I've had any time alone

with the man-cub.

How is he doing these days?

- Well, actually, there's one thing that's got me worried.

- Got you worried?

- Yes, romance is in the air.

- What, romance?

- Um-hmm.

- That can be dangerous.

- Yes, it can.

But I think Mowgli will get through it.

- (grunting) Are you telling me Mowgli's in love?!

- No, but watch this. - Huh?

(anxious music) (splashing)

- Hmm, she's good.

- Be quiet.

(mellow jazz music)

- Catch any fish yet, Mowgli?

- Not yet.

But I still think this fish trap is a pretty good idea.

- [Lala] Anyway, I thought you might like a nice bird.

- Huh, a bird for me?

- I can always catch another one.

- Gee, I mean, I don't know what to say

except thanks a lot, Lala.

- You're welcome, Mowgli.

As long as you really like it then I'm happy.

- Awe. (laughing)

- See, romance is in the air.

- It sure is.

- But, unfortunately, this romance is one sided.

Lala's trying to win Mowgli's affection

and he has no idea why.

- It's always a sad thing when romance is one sided.

- Yes, it certainly is.

But even if this romance weren't one sided

it's easy to see how there might be difficulties.

- Why do you say that?

- Oh, come now, Baloo, Mowgli's a human and Lala is a wolf!

Doesn't that strike you as a bit unusual.

- Hmm, I see what ya mean.

It would be rather strange.

- Let's just hope no ones feelings are hurt.

(laughing)

(gentle flute music)

(laughing)

(gentle flute music)

- I just can't remember when I've had a better time.

Thanks, Lala, I really had a lot of fun today.

I even managed to catch some dinner.

- I had a lot of fun too.

You know, Mowgli,

I don't think we've played together before.

- That's hard to believe,

Lala. - It's true.

- Well, I'm awfully glad we're finally friends.

So long, Lala.

- Bye, I hope your bird is good.

- Thanks again, Lala.

- See you soon, Kichi.

(gentle flute music)

- Lala, Lala! - Huh?

Oh, hi, Sura.

What are you doing around here?

- I was lookin' all over for you, Lala.

- For me, but why?

- Well, I was just wondering

if you'd seen Akela today, that's all.

Ya know, he's not feeling well, Lala.

You should try to stay close to him in case he needs you.

- Really?

Did he tell you that?

- No, not exactly.

- Well, let me set you straight then, Sura.

My grandfather's in fine health for a wolf his age.

And even if he weren't, how I look after him

is none of your business.

- Alright, I take it back but I still think

you're better off with your grandfather

than chasing around after Mowgli all day long.

- What did you just say, Sura?!

Tell me one time you ever saw me chasing Mowgli, one time!

- Uh, well, I didn't actually see ya do it.

But, all I'm tryin' to say is--

- Save it!

I've heard quite enough your opinions about my private life.

- But, Lala, I wasn't.

I mean all I wanna say is, well, I,

well I have a great big crush on you!

And I ... (Lala laughing)

- You have a crush on me?

That's a good one.

I think it's only fair to tell you

that the feeling isn't mutual.

So don't bring up this lovey-dovey business ever again.

I am an unattached wolf and I intend to stay that way.

Have I made myself clear?

(whimpering)

Humph.

- Lala.

(somber music)

- Sometimes the world seems so simple.

The sun sets, the moon rises,

and darkness falls gently over the whole jungle,

we all sleep for a while and then by dawn

it's all a big mess again.

- Kichi, what are you talking about?

- (sighing) I don't really know.

But I know one thing, it's good to have a full belly

and a place to sleep.

- Yes, you're right there.

- I get lonesome.

- Kichi?

- Um-hmm.

- You've had your lair in the old oak tree

for a long time now, haven't you?

- Yes. - How would you like

to leave your lair and move in with me?

I think my lair is a lot cozier than the old oak tree.

And, if we live together we wouldn't be so lonesome.

- Great idea!

I think we'll have a lot of fun living together, Mowgli.

- Well then, that's settled.

From now on, little Kichi, we're brothers

living in the same lair and sharing everything we have.

- That right, we're brothers!

(laughing)

- Ya-hoo, home sweet home!

- Hey, be careful, I just tidied up in there.

(gentle flute music)

- We're brothers.

- Open wide, as a good lad.

Ready for another bite?

Good.

(gentle flute music)

- Ah, it's heeling nicely.

That's Mother Nature's medicine for you.

(dramatic music)

(snarling)

(clanging)

(snarling)

(yelping)

- Whew.

Huh?

- Huh?

(laughing)

(blowing)

(gentle flute music)

- The fire's going nicely, now we can have a little chat.

I can't leave you here to fend for yourself.

So come with me to the village tomorrow.

(gentle flute music)

(gentle music)

(growling)

(upbeat music)

- Good morning, Grandfather.

- Did you catch that, Lala?

- Yes, I love hunting in the early morning

when everyone else is fast asleep.

- Have you forgotten?

We wolves are supposed to hunt with the pack, not alone.

- I'm sorry, Grandfather, I was only having a little fun.

I didn't mean any harm.

You're always telling me to enjoy life and have a good time.

Now it's my turn to say the same thing to you.

You've been cooped up in here for far too long.

- Yes, you're right there, Lala.

But I don't have the energy I had when I was younger.

I spend my days hoping that someone will step forward

and replace me as leader.

- Grandfather, how can you say that?

You're still strong, we need you.

- (laughing) Alright, now let's discuss your future, Lala.

- Hmm, what's there to discuss?

- Mm, I saw Sura yesterday.

He told me that he's very fond of you

and he hopes you feel the same way.

- Why that, he's got some nerve talking to you!

- Alright, alright, obviously you don't feel the same way.

- Oh.

- Still, he's an upstanding, young wolf

and he seemed to be sincere, Lala.

We can't just ignore him now, can we?

- Sure we can, he's a pest.

- Lala, I'm surprised at you.

If you don't clear things up with Sura,

feelings are bound to be hurt.

- Well, at least they'll be his feelings and not mine.

- Awe, you might, at least, consider his good points, Lala.

Sura is strong and stout hearted.

I'll admit, he doesn't have much sense of humor

but then-- - Who cares.

- Hmm, wait!

Oh, Lala, mm.

- That Sura, he went to Grandfather behind my back.

- [Mowgli] Watch this.

(laughing)

- [Kichi] That was your best throw yet, Mowgli.

Lookout!

(laughing)

- Whoa.

Go!

(joyous music)

(whirring)

(joyous music)

- Fantastic catch, Mowgli!

- Come on now, Kichi, Mowgli's tricks are good

but you should try not to get carried away.

You'll give Mowgli a swelled head.

- No I won't.

I'm just giving Mowgli a little encouragement

while he practices his hunting skills, nosy.

- What, what did you call me?

- Oh, nothing, lovely day isn't it?

- What a fang. (laughing)

- Mowgli, have you seen Lala lately?

Hmm, I thought she'd be with you.

- Not today, but we saw her yesterday

and she was very friendly.

She played with us all day long.

Didn't she, Mowgli?

- Um-hmm, she's never been so nice.

I think she's trying to prove to me

that she finally accepts me as one of the pack.

But, I have to admit,

I still get kind of nervous when I'm around her.

- Of course, that's only natural.

It might even be wise to keep your distance from her.

- My distance, what do you mean?!

- Oh, just a word of caution. (laughing)

(somber music)

(splashing)

(sighing)

- Huh? (loud splash)

(roaring)

(ominous music)

(hissing) - Ow!

(hissing)

- Oh, help me!

Someone help me!

(dramatic music)

(growling)

- Sura, what do we do?

- Climb the rock, hurry!

(growling)

- We can't backup any further.

- I'll draw the alligator's attention,

when I do you run for it!

- Sura!

(roaring)

(dramatic music)

- Sura!

- Now, Lala, run, run for it!

- Sura, look out behind you!

(smacking) - Oof.

- Sura!

- Run Lala!

(dramatic music)

- Oh no, what do I do?

(dramatic music)

Baloo!

(roaring)

(thudding)

(smacking)

(hissing)

(roaring)

(dramatic music)

- Sura, are you alright?

- Fine, just a few bruises.

Thank you, Baloo, if you hadn't shown up when ya did

I don't know what would have happened to Lala and me.

- Glad to help out.

When I heard that racket I knew

the gators were up to something, then I saw both of you.

I'm just happy nobody was seriously injured.

(laughing)

- And thank you, Sura.

I'd a been lost without you.

- Awe, no need to thank me.

I just did what any old wolf would of done,

- Uh-uh, you were wonderful

and I sure am glad you were there when I needed help.

- Awe.

- Those wounds of yours must hurt.

- They're nothing, I'm fine.

(romantic jazz music)

- Oh, this is terrible, simply terrible.

(anxious music)

I have terrible news, everyone.

Bagheera, Mowgli, this is no time for sleep.

- Huh, hello, Chil, let's here your news.

- That criminal is on his way, he'll be here soon.

- A criminal, huh?

- His name is Grizzled Wolf and he's coming with his gang.

- What, how's that, Chil?

Are you sure Grizzle's coming and not some other wolf?

- I saw him myself, Bagheera.

He and his gang have been driven this way by humans

after attacking their farm animals.

- Hmm, bad news.

- Is this Grizzle really as terrible as that?

- Oh yes, Grizzle's a very nasty wolf.

He used to belong to your pack until he was chased away.

Now he and his cronies wander about like vagabonds

breaking the law when they like.

- (gasping) Would a wolf do that?

- Not just any wolf, Mowgli, we're talking about Grizzle.

He lived among us a long time ago

and he wasn't always an evil wolf.

But he fell under Shere Khan's influence

and became an attacker of farm animals.

After that, he went from bad to worse

committing dreadful crimes.

Eventually, we chased him away

so he took to roaming the countryside

with a handful of other wolves

who had fallen under his spell.

- You say Grizzle's heading this way?

Now I understand why that's terrible news.

- It most certainly is.

And, judging by his location, he'll be here before too long.

- This is very serious.

Grizzle and his gang will stop at nothing.

You can be sure they'll raid our hunting grounds

and they'll lay the jungle to waste before they're through.

If we don't come up with a way to stop Grizzle

we're finished.

Mowgli, go and find Akela, right away.

We've got to have an assembly immediately.

- Right!

(howling)
