Go away.

Get away from me.

Stop it!

Get away from me!

Mowgli!

Mowgli! Hold on!

Bagheera!

What was that? Where are they taking him?

This way.

We see you, we see you!

Come on, jump! And watch the claws.

A bird, that can’t be a good sign.

Baloo, look at me. Look at nothing but me.

You’re doing fine. Just keep your eyes up. High.

Alright. I’m coming, I’m coming.

What part of the jungle you from?

You, man cub. You come from the South or North?

What- What part of the- the- the jungle?

The South, I guess?

Sodom jungle. The Seeonee. Beautiful, I hear. I- I never been there myself.

So, tell me, you ever had a taste of the pawpaw fruit down there in the Seeonee?

Some people call it, uh, what’s the word? Papaya.

Stolen words. I say pawpaw. ‘Cause of the sound it makes when it tumbles to the jungle floor.

Try it!

Go ahead.

It’s good.

You know who I am?

No.

I am the king of the Bandar-log.

Call me Louie.

I did it.

Well done, old chap.

He must be in there.

Follow me.

No, no. We’re on level ground here.

I’m in charge and I’ve got a plan.

And you are a man club who wants to live in the jungle?

How do you know that?

Kid, I got ears. My ears got ears. You wanna live here.

You’ll need a people to protect you.

Only I can protect you, and I will for a price.

I don’t have anything to give you.

I think you do.

What?

Look around, man cub.

I got everything. I have plentiful food, endless treasure, command vast legions.

But there’s one thing I don’t have and that’s the one thing you can give me.

The red flower.

I don’t have that.

You’re a man, aren’t you?

That’s what makes you a man. You can summon your red flower and control it.

They told me not to go near the red flower.

You know why they tell you that?

Because once you have it, you rise.

To the top of the food chain. Nothing in this jungle can stand up to the red flower.

Please, I just wanna go.

Now don’t try to kid me, man cub.

I’ll make a deal with you.

What I desire is man’s red fire to make my dream come true.

Now gimme the secret, man cub. Come on!

Clue me what to do. Give me the power of man’s red flower so I can be like you.

I wanna be like you-oo-oo.

I wanna walk like you, talk like you too

You see, it’s true. Someone like me can learn to be like someone like you

Now you might think it’s ridiculous that me, a gigantopithecus

Would ever dream, I’d like to team with the likes of you man cub. But together, we’d have powers.

All the jungle’s treasure, ours.

I got desire. You got the fire. But the dream I dream takes two.

I wanna be like you

I wanna use that flame just the same as you can do.

Oh, how magnificus it would be

A gigantopithecus like me could learn to do like you humans do Just one thing we need to reach our full potential.

Bring me that red flower.

and we will rule this Jungle.

I will protect you.

And you will want for nothing, ever again.

I can’t!

You can’t or you won’t?

I can’t!

You will!

Excuse me!

Anybody?

Excuse me. Am I in the right monkey temple?

Oh my gosh, is that King Louie?

This is so exciting.

The legends do you no justice, sir. You are truly enormous!

In the best way, look at all of that flesh just squatting there on an ancient throne.

How- how- how majestic.

Seize him!

Hey, hang on! Can you hang on? Can you just hang on?

I climbed a mountain to see you, and I’m not a climber, just to be in your presence.

For me, this is a dream come true.

Throw him off the cliff!

Wait, wait, wait. I have no problem with that.

I don’t have any problem with that.

I came up here without an invitation. Extremely presumptious of me.

Let me interrupt myself. I just gotta say, you guys are so much.

Handsomer in person than anyone knows.

No one ever gets up close to you.

I guess that’s why. Because of the smell. I mean, the smell is- is- is rough.

But, it’s not just, Oh, look at me! It’s, I got the brains.

You guys got the- the know how. You got the noggin.

You came up with this stuff, with the thumb. Come on, show me. How do you do that?

I can’t do that. Look. I scratch, I rub. You know, I can grab a fish.

But I was hoping, and you may not be open to this at all, but I was hoping.

And once again, it’s a dream, but I was hoping that I might become a Bandar-log myself.

Gosh, I wanna be like you. I am hitching my wagon to your star.
