"But you permitted man to live among you! You pretend that he is a wolf! But we both know that is the one thing he will never be! He will always be a man! You poisoned the jungle! But you are no longer leader now, are you? You missed your kill. And by your law, your pack must challenge you."

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

"Look at you, using a man's tool to do your killing. What would Baloo and Bagheera think?"

"[softly] Sleep now, Shere Khan. Be angry no more."

"[when Mowgli is in a cage] 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."

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

"[first lines of the film; narrating] 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."

"[to Mowgli] Say something, or I shall get bored. And when I get bored, I get hungry!"

"My, my, how you've grown. [slaps monkey aside] And how much chaos you've brought upon the pack. So much more... to come. Just a little taste..."

"You've got hands with fingers on the ends, so let's use them."

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

"[last words before his death] You know, I can still hear... your mother's screams... the night I took... her life!"

"[last line of the film; narrating] 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."
