Quotes 

• Raksha : [to Mowgli]  Never forget this: You're mine. Mine to me. No matter where you go, or what they may call you, you will always be my son.

• Baloo : "This is the law of the jungle, as old and as true as the sky."

  Shere Khan : What is this?

  Baloo : "The wolf that keeps it may prosper /"

  Baloo , Bagheera : "... but the wolf that breaks it will die ."

  Shere Khan : You fools.

  Baloo , Bagheera , Raksha : "Like the creeper that girdles the tree trunk, the law runneth over and back."

  Shere Khan : Fine! Rise up, all of you! You want to put yourselves between me and the man-cub?

  Baloo , Bagheera , Raksha : "For the strength of the pack is the wolf..."

  Baloo , Bagheera , Raksha , Mowgli : [further joined by the other wolves]  "... and the strength of the wolf is the pack!"

  Shere Khan : I will have you ALL IN MY TEETH!

• Bagheera : Maybe I can be of help. The boy's right. Maybe it's time he found another people.

  Raksha : No!

  Bagheera : I'm the one who brought him to you, and now I'll return him to where he belongs.

  Raksha : [goes in front of Mowgli]  I won't let you. He's MY cub!

  Akela : We knew this day would come.

  Raksha : We are the only family he's ever known!

  Akela : Raksha, it's the only place he'll be safe.

  Mowgli : [walks to Raksha]  It's okay, ami, I won't go far. I-I'll come back and visit.

• Raksha : Why are you doing this? He's gone! Isn't that what you want?

  Shere Khan : I want him dead. Once he gets word of what happened here, he'll come back... and I'll be waiting.

• [Shere Khan visits the wolf pack and learns that Mowgli has left] 

  Shere Khan : Well, I guess it's done then... unless I can draw him BACK OUT!

  Raksha : Akela!

  [throws Akela off the cliff] 

  Shere Khan : [to the pack]  Have I got your attention now? I didn't want it to be this way. I made it SO simple. All I asked for was one thing, and you DENIED me! Well, that - ends - now. Spread the word! Until I have the man-cub, these hills are my hills. You did not RESPOND to reason, so now you will know fear!

• Gray : Why did he have to leave?

  Raksha : Gray...

  Gray : We could've protected him. We shouldn't have let him go.

  Raksha : I miss him, too. What's important is he's safe now.

• Shere Khan : [Shere Khan and Bagheera fight one more time. Shere Khan knocks Bagheera down and pins down his head]  It's time we put an end to this!

  [prepares to deliver the killing bite to Bagheera's neck but Raksha tackles him] 

  Raksha : No!
