- Huh?

Morning, Mowgli.

Where are you off to so early?

Hey Mowgli, wait up!

It's me, Keechie.

Hi.

Ah!

- Ah!

- Ah!

Wait, Mowgli.

What's going on?

Bagheera?

(dramatic music)

What's the matter?

(feet running)

- Look everybody, here comes Mowgli!

- He seems mighty glum this morning.

- Maybe he's running away from home.

After all the trouble he's caused,

the wolves must be sick of him.

- I wonder where he's going to live now?

- Who cares as long as it's far away from here.

(laughing)

- So long, trouble maker!

(taunting laughing)

- [Monkey] Hey man cub, don't take it personally.

- No, this is how we talk to all human pests.

(laughing)

- Look Mowgli, don't get all schemed up.

Here, let's play catch.

(growling)

- Ah!

- Here he comes!

(monkeys howling)

(dramatic music)

- Ah!

Ah!

(dramatic music)

Ah! No!

(monkeys laughing)

Ah!

That does it!

(laughing)

- Ah!

(suspenseful music)

(grunting)

- Oomph.

- Stop it!

I said stop it, Mowgli!

(monkeys yelling)

Stop fighting, do you hear me?

- Yah!

- [Bagheera] Mowgli, leave that monkey alone.

(roaring)

(gasping)

- Huh?

- Stop it, Mowgli, that's enough.

Now get down from there.

I said get down!

(monkeys yelling)

(birds chirping)

All right, Mowgli, what was all that about?

Now your injuries aren't serious,

but you could've been badly hurt.

What got into you anyway?

(suspenseful music)

I was watching you this morning when you came

by the riverbank, I thought you had come

to say hello, but you kept on walking,

looking miserable and downcast.

(sad music)

Something's obviously bothering you, Mowgli.

Why don't you tell me about it?

Come, isn't that what old friends are for?

- Stop it!

Ah!

- Huh?

- You're not my friend!

Humans don't have friends!

That's all I am, a hateful human.

- Mowgli, what are you saying?

Listen.

- No you listen!

I'm leaving this jungle.

I'm the reason why Vermilion went away

and Sara was beaten up.

Nobody wants me around here.

- You know very well that's utter nonsense.

Have you forgotten your mother, Lory, who's devoted to you?

Or your wolf brothers, young Sura and Akru,

who both love you so much?

(crying)

Mowgli!

Does your mother know about this?

Well, does she?

- Huh?

Uh-huh.

- I didn't think so.

Now listen to me, youngster who want

to leave their mother's care must obey the law.

Your brothers obeyed it and so must you.

Before you go out on your own, you have

to have your mother's permission.

But you've just admitted you don't have it.

If you leave like this, you'll break the law,

and who do you think will feel the saddest?

Your own mother, Mowgli, that's who.

By running away, you risk hurting the one you love the most.

(crying)

(sad music)

Now come on, go home Mowgli.

Go home.

- Ah!

But the others don't want me in the pack!

I don't belong there, I'm human!

- How can you say that?

You may think you're human,

but I believe you're a wolf,

and so do Lory, Aku, Sura, Akela, Baloo, Keechi,

and Kaa the serpent.

Are you going to tell me we're all wrong and you're right?

It's not like you to be so unreasonable.

Are you denying that you're the son of Alexander,

who loved you more than his own life?

Answer me that, Mowgli.

(birds chirping)

(crying)

(biting)

(scratching)

(grunting)

(punching)

- Ah!

- Huh?

Lory!

- That was disgraceful.

Apologize to Bagheera!

(growling)

Well?

I'm not going to ask you again.

- I'm sorry, Bagheera.

- Okay.

- I didn't think you'd behave this way, Mowgli.

As Bagheera just said, when you left home

without my permission, you were breaking the law.

I know you're upset, and if you've forgotten

that you once promised your father

you'd be an honorable wolf, that's all right with me.

If you've forgotten that you're the son of Alexander

and Lory, well that's all right too.

You see, I'm your mother, and I'm never going

to forget those things, and whatever your future may hold,

I'll always be your mother, and I'll always love you.

(soft music)

Baheera, let's go home.

- I guess now it's up to Mowgli.

(soft music)

- Mother.

(soft music)

(whimsical music)

(growling)

- Rawr!

(laughing)

- Hmm?

What's the matter?

(suspenseful music)

- Hmm?

- You're all scratched up.

Well, how did this happen?

Were you fighting?

- Of course not, I wouldn't do that.

- Then how do you explain all these scratches?

- I'd hardly call them scratches, they're just nicks.

- Hmm?

- Oh all right, they're scratches.

The truth is I got into a nasty fight with some monkeys.

- Huh?

- I know it's hard to believe I'd do such a thing,

but those monkeys called me some very insulting names.

My temper got the better of me, and out came the claws.

- Hmm.

(clearing throat)

- Pretty soon, I was up against

a whole gang of irate primates.

They were tough customers.

- You mean a bunch of monkeys did this to you?

- They're a lot meaner than they used to be.

- Lory, what's happened to Mowgli?

- Maybe he's ran away, though I wouldn't

have thought he'd be brave enough to leave his mother.

- I believe he's gone down to the river to take a swim.

- That's all right then, but I want you

to keep a close watch on him, Lory.

- Mhmm.

- Wolf pack, hear me, Mowgli is as good a wolf

as any of us, I want you all to stop being rude to him.

- Hmm.

- Don't look at me like that.

- Hmm.

- Bagheera, what about your wounds?

- Oh don't worry about them.

Coupe of little scrapes never hurt anybody.

- Bagheera.

- It's all right, Mowgli doesn't have fangs or claws

like other jungle animals, so he didn't do much damage.

- Forgive him, Bagheera.

- Of course I do, he meant no harm.

I just hope he's all right.

- Mhmm.

Bagheera, would you keep an eye on Mowgli for me?

(soft music)

(licking)

Well now, how's Sura?

- Oh, he's feeling better.

He's had plenty of rest and he should be back

on his feet in no time at all.

- It sure helps to have Akru looking after me.

But I'm really worried about Mowgli.

He's been so hurt by all the mean remarks everyone has made.

- Mmm, he has suffered.

Mowgli is hurt and confused.

Early this morning, he ran away.

- What?

Ran away?

- Then we have to bring him back.

- Don't worry, he'll be all right.

In fact, I'm sure he'll come home in a few days.

His heart will lead him back,

but in the meantime, we mustn't tell anyone

Mowgli has run away.

After everything that's happened, we don't want the pack

to know about this.

- Understood. - Understood.

Mother, I'm going out to look for Mowgli.

- No, don't.

We owe it to Mowgli to leave him be.

He has some important decisions to make alone.

We must wait for him.

Wait for him and trust in him.

(dramatic music)

(water splashing)

- I see, he's run away.

His young heart is confused, I should've seen this coming.

- We both should have, Baloo.

- I still can't believe he actually attacked you.

To attack his very, dearest friend,

he must have felt terrible.

(soft music)

- Baloo?

- What is it?

- I need a favor.

- Hmm?

- Lory has asked me to keep an eye on Mowgli,

but I'm worried that he might spot me.

- Where do I fit in?

- You could call your friend, Chil, the kite bird.

- I understand, with his good eyesight,

he could keep watch from above!

- Exactly.

Then Chil could let us know if Mowgli was in any trouble.

- Mmm, good idea.

With Chil's help, we can keep an eye on Mowgli,

and he won't even know it.

- Of course Chil won't do us a favor like that for nothing,

so we better be ready to offer him some food.

- I guess we'll just go hungry for Mowgli's sake.

- Mmm.

(instrumental music)

- Chil!

Chil the kite bird!

Where is that vulture?

Chil!

Chil!

Ah!

(dramatic music)

- What is it?

- Mowgli, the man cub, has run away.

- Hmm, I suppose you want me to look for him.

Is that it?

- Yes, will you do it, Chil?

- For a price, I don't come cheap.

I want something tasty, how about a rabbit?

- A rabbit?

What a nasty bird.

- Pardon?

Nasty?

- No I said tasty.

A tasty rabbit is what we're going to give you

for finding Mowgli.

- That's better.

- Once you find him, watch him closely

and let Bagheera and me know if he's in danger.

- Oh well now just a moment,

if I have to spend some of my valuable time watching

over the man cub, then I want a decent price.

Let's say two rabbits.

- Oh all right, two rabbits.

- Good, you've got a deal.

- And be sure you don't tell anyone Mowgli's run away.

- You can count on me!

(soft music)

(mooing)

(birds chirping)

(soft music)

(sighing)

- It's lonesome out here.

(soft music)

I guess I better find myself a rare.

(soft music)

Ah!

(soft music)

(bobcat growling)

- Ah!

(growling)

(growling)

Ah!

(grunting)

Phew!

I'll be safe up here.

Ah!

(monkeys yelling)

Ah!

(grunting)

(laughing)

(grass rustling)

(gasping)

(bear growling)

- Baloo!

I'm glad to see you.

(growling)

Baloo?

(growling)

You're not Baloo.

(growling)

(intense music)

(growling)

Ah!

(intense music)

(growling)

(gasping)

(intense music)

Ah!

(intense music)

(growling)

(grunting)

Phew, that was close.

Hmm.

(owl cooing)

(crickets chirping)

(trees rustling)

(suspenseful music)

(growling)

Huh?

(gasping)

(growling)

(dramatic music)
