You owe me, kid. You owe me. You owe me.

Slow down!

And you’re gonna pay back.

But…

‘Cause that’s right. That’s the right- You’re gonna do the right thing.

That’s the right thing to do here. Pay me back. ‘Cause you owe me. You got it?

Ok, here’s our little task. You see that golden stuff drippin’ down there?

That’s called honey.

All you need to do, little one…

for payback purposes…

is to just shimmy on up there…

and get me that thing up there that’s making that funny noise…

and bring it back down.

You’re kidding me, right?

No, not really.

I can get killed going up there.

Kid.

Kid, kid, kid…

Try to understand this. I’m a bear. It means that I have to eat my…

Weight every day, for hibernation purposes. I- I know I’m asking for a lot…

But I don’t climb and you do.

Look, I really need your help.

Winter’s coming. You don’t want me to go to sleep…

And never wake up.

A lot of bees up here.

Yeah, some. But don’t worry…

These ones don’t sting.

Thataboy!

Ow! I’m getting stung!

Ok, I would’ve done this myself but I’m afraid of heights.

Oh boy, here we go again.

Why don’tcha mind your own business?

You can do it!

He’s just gonna run away.

Not this one.

As soon as the monkeys get stung, they always run away.

He’s not a monkey.

What is he?

A man cub.

A man-cub? Yeah! Could you keep your voice down?

I’m trying to concentrate.

Everything going A-okay up there?

Ow!

Oh boy. Looks like he got another one.

Buzz off.

It’s a man cub.

A man cub?

Yeah, it’s a man cub.

It’s not a monkey?

No, it’s not. It’s a man cub.

You have never been a more endangered species…

Than you are at this moment.

You’re doing an amazing job!

I’m getting stung!

Oh boy, here we go again.

It’s not a monkey, Fred. It’s a man cub.

A man cub?

Yeah, it’s a man cub.

Can you believe it?

Are you sure?

Would you please shut up?!

Hey up there, everything is going fantastically I see.

You got it. Believe in yourself!

There you go!

Come on, almost!

Yeah, yeah!

Oh, yeah!

Exfoliate me.

You said they didn’t sting. What do you call this?

How the heck did you do that?

Oh, those must have been females!

They looked like males from down here, females do sting.

Just put some, uh, honey on those.

Honey? Really?

Yeah. You put it on, you lick it off. You feel much better.

It’s nature’s ointment. I put it everywhere.

Thanks. Ok, so we’re even now.

Hold on a minute. What’s your name anyway? We were never properly introduced.

Mowgli.

Mowgli.

Mowgli is a terrific name.

I bet you got that one all yourself too.

Mowgli, look…

I got a lot of gathering to do these next couple of weeks on account of the hibernation.

I could really use your help.

You know, if you stuck around…

I can’t. I have to go to the man village.

For what reason, man village?

I don’t have a choice. There’s a tiger hunting me.

Really? Why a tiger?

Because I’m a man cub, alright?

Just leave me alone.

Mowgli, my friend, my buddy, my pal…

Slow down a second, handsome.

Bagheera said I have to go…

To the man village.

Oh, Bagheera. I know him, sure.

You know what his problem is? He always plays by the rules. And sometimes…

Rules were meant to be, well, not necessarily broken, but certainly bent.

And definitely reinterpreted. Don’tcha think?

Well, he told me to go to the man village…

So that’s where I’m gonna go.

Ok, fine. You wanna go to the man village, have it your way.

In fact, I’ll do ya one better. I’ll take you there myself.

Come on, let’s go. It’s getting late.

Bear necessities.

Forget about your worries and your strife.

I mean, the bear necessities.

What’s that?

That’s a song about the good life.

What’s a song?

You never heard a song before? Everyone’s got a song. Didn’t the wolves ever sing?

I don’t know.

Oh, we recited the law of the jungle.

This is the law of the jungle.

As old and as true as the sky.

The wolf that keeps them may prosper.

But the wolf that breaks it will die.

Kid, that’s not a song. That’s propaganda.

What’s propaganda?

Just a little farther.

That’s the man village?

Yep. You can always tell by the red flower.

They do love their red flower.

The red flower doesn’t seem so bad.

Yeah? Let it loose and it destroys everything It touches. Don’t ever play with it, you got that?

Yeah, I got it.

Good.

Do you think that’s where I’m from?

Could be.

I don’t know, kid. Does it look familiar?

I don’t remember it. All I remember…

Is living with the wolves.

Why do you wanna go there?

Bagheera said I need a people.

Oh, again with the listening to Bagheera.

Hey, he’s my friend, ok?

Now I don’t even know where he is.

Can’t believe I’m leaving the jungle for good.

May I just say one thing? What I saw you do today, I’ve never seen anything like it.

I’ve been trying to get that honey for years.

But I use my tricks.

What tricks?

You know. Everything that I built. It’s not the wolf way.

Who cares? The wolf way. That’s the Mowgli way.

That’s the Baloo way, that’s our way. That’s how we get things done.

I can’t even imagine what kind of potential you’d have…

if you had somebody like me helping you out.

You say you want to go to the man village.

I say, you could be a man right here.

I’ll tell you what.

Now you know where the man village is.

You can always go down there, whenever you want.

But I would personally appreciate it, as a personal favor to me personally…

If we just work together. Just us.

Tricks and all.

And I think it would be interesting to see just how much honey…

We could accumulate before winter.

Whatever I could do to make your trickiness happen, I will do.

And if it turns out to not be fun for you…

I will walk you right down to that man village myself. Is that a deal?

Just ‘til winter.

Just ‘til winter.
