Little Bear's Adventures of The Jungle Book/Transcript

{Fade out, change of sides on the disk, fade into night, Mowgli asleep, Baloo and Bagheera talking} {Little Bear toasts a stick with fire and looks at the moon} Little Bear: Look Baloo, that's the biggest moon I've ever seen. Baloo: Yes, it's a beautiful sight Little Bear. {Little Bear walks close to the water to get a closer look at the moon} Little Bear: I wish I can take it back and show it Mother Bear. Bagheera: ...and furthermore, Mowgli seems to have man's ability to get into trouble, and your influence hasn't been exactly-- Baloo: Shhh! Keep it down, you're gonna wake little buddy. Owl: Yeah, he needs his rest, he’s had a big day. No Feet: It was a real sockaroo. Baloo: You know it ain't easy learning to be like me. Bagheera: Pah! A disgraceful performance. Associating with those undesirable, scatterbrained apes. Huh. I hope he learned something from that experience. Mowgli in sleep mumbles: Yeah... scooby-dooby, dooby-doo.. Baloo:	Ha, ha. That's my boy. Bagheera (walking to water): Oh, nonsense. Mitzi, Tutu, and Duck were also tired. They had fallen asleep after the long, thrilling and eventful day. Baloo tucked Mowgli in. Bagheera: Baloo, come over here. I'd like to have a word with you. Baloo comes over: A word? You gonna talk some more? (he yawns) All right, what's up Bagheera? Bagheera: Baloo, a man-cub must go back to the man-village. The jungle is not the place for him. Baloo: I grew up in the jungle. Take a look at me. Bagheera: Yes, just look at yourself. Look at that eye. [They both had each one eye swollen since the fight] Hen: Oh dear, is something wrong? Baloo (looking into water): Yeah. It's beautiful, ain't it? Bagheera: Frankly, you're a disreputable sight. Baloo: Well, you don't look exactly like a basket of fruit yourself. Emily: Hate to burst your bubble Baggy, but he’s right, you’re a ‘disreputable sight’ too. Bagheera: D'oh! Ballo, you can't adopt Mowgli as your son. Baloo: Why not? Bagheera: How can I put it? Baloo, birds of a feather should flock together. Baloo shrugs. Bagheera: You wouldn't marry a panther, would you? Baloo: I don't know. Ha ha, come to think of it, no panther ever asked me. Cat: That was a funny joke actually. Bagheera: Baloo, you-you've got to be serious about this. Baloo: Oh, stop worrying, Baggy, stop worrying, I'll take care of him Bagheera: Yes, like you did when the monkeys kidnapped him, huh? Baloo: Can't a guy make one mistake? Bagheera: Not in the jungle. And another thing, sooner or later, Mowgli will meet Mitzi's nemesis Shere Khan. Baloo: The tiger? Cat: What's he got against Mowgli? Bagheera: He hates man with a vengeance, you know that. Because he fears man's gun and man's fire. Emily: But you know Mowgli doesn't those things. Bagheera: Shere Khan won’t wait until he does. He’ll get Mowgli while he’s young and helpless. Just one swipe and... Baloo: No. Owl: Well, I guess Mowgli has no choice. [Sun appears from horizon. actually all the time they were talking it was slowly getting brighter. By the way, their swollen eyes were getting better throughout the conversation as well - completely healed by now] Baloo: Well... Well, what are we gonna do? Bagheera: We'll do what's best for the boy. Baloo: You better believe it, you name it now I'll do it. Bagheera: Good. Then make Mowgli go to the man-village. Baloo: ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!? I PROMISED HIM 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: Be-Be-Because he won't listen to me, or your cousin's son and his friends. Baloo: I love that kid. I love him like he was my own cub. Bagheera: Then think of 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. No Feet: Wow, how did morning come so fast, did we stay up way too late or is the Indian sun unpredictable at times? Owl: I…don’t…know, Little Bear: Well Baggy’s right, it’s morning. Bagheera: Go on, Baloo. Baloo walks to Mowgli: Uh.. Mowgli in sleep: Ummmm... Baloo gulps: Oh boy. Mowgli? Mowgli? Uh, it's time to get up. Mowgli wakes up and stretches: Oh. Hi Baloo Mitzi: Good morning, Baloo. Baloo:	Hi. Hey, rub that sleep out of your eyes. You and me, eh, we've got a long walk ahead of us. Mowgli: Swell! We'll have lots of fun together. Baloo:	Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Uh... All right, let's hit the trail, kid. See you around, eh, Bagheera. Little Bear: Goodbye Baloo! Baloo: my second cousin, and all those friends of yours. Owl: Goodbye Baloo! Duck: Goodbye Baloo! Mowgli: Well, good-bye Bagheera. Me and Baloo, we've got things to do. Bagheera: Good-bye man-cub. And good luck. Mowgli: Come on, Baloo. All we gotta do is... Look for the bare necessities Some good old bare necessities Forget about your worries And your strife I mean the bare necessities That's why a bear can rest at ease With just the bare necessities of life Yeah I'll live here in the jungle All my life Yeah, man I like being a bear. Where are we going, Baloo? Baloo: Well, uh, it's, uh... Um, well, it's sort of new and, uh... Mowgli: Oh, I don't care, as long as I'm with you. [the "My Own Home" theme plays in background again] Baloo:	Mowgli, look buddy, there's something I've got to tell you. Mowgli (chasing a butterfly): Tell me what, Baloo? Baloo: Gee whiz. Now how did old Baghee put it? Ah, Mowgli? Hah, you wouldn't marry a panther, would you? Mowgli: Heh-heh. Gee, I don't even know what you're talking about. Baloo: Mowgli, don't you realize that you're a human? Mowgli: I'm not anymore, Baloo. I'm a bear like you. Baloo: Little buddy, look, listen to me. Mowgli: Come on, come on, Baloo. Baloo: Now Mowgli, stop it now, now hold still. I wanna tell you something, now listen to me. Mowgli: What's the matter, old 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: THE MAN VILLAGE? Baloo: Now look, kid, I can explain... Mowgli: But-but you said we were partners. Baloo:	Now believe me, kid, I, I-- Mowgli: You're just like... like old Bagheera! Baloo: Now just a minute! That's going too far! [Mowgli runs away] Hey, Mowgli, where are you going? Wait a minute! Stop! Wait! Wait! Listen to ol' Baloo. Mowgli? Mowgli? Mowgli! Mowgli? Mowgli? [Bagheera, Little Bear, Emily, Tutu, Owl, Duck, Hen, Cat, Mitzi, and No Feet who must have heard Baloo calling Mowgli, arrives] Bagheera: And now what's happened? Baloo: Well, you, you, you're not not gonna believe me, Bagheera, but look. Now I used the same words you did and he ran out on me! No Feet: [Gasps] Don't you know what this means? Shere Khan is going to kill Mowgli! Hen: What should we Bagheera? Bagheera: Well, don't just stand there! Let's separate! Owl: All right, listen up. Split up and search high and low for the boy. Mitzi, teamed you with Emily and Little Bear. Hen, you'll be working with Cat and Tutu. And me, with Duck and No Feet, This is now a race against time and we have to find him at any cost. Clear? Duck: Sure. Owl: Okay. LET'S MOVE! Bagheera: Owl's right, Baloo. 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! MOWGLI! Mowgli!
