Jungle Book (1942) Movie Script
Look at that beautiful old man,
what a lovely head
India is filled with old men, Memsahib
But not like the man
with the yellow turban,
His is like the head of John the Baptist
Memsahib, refers to the story teller
Are these silent monsters in peace with us
It is but a truce they keep with men
But I, who have seen the task stained
red with blood
I could tell you a tale of the silent ones
for a few coppers
For a bowl of rice
What would you do with my image memsahib
I would keep it, for a memory of India
verily, you will have all India in your picture
Nay, you would have The Book of The Jungle
to read in my eyes
In the beginning, you must think
of nothing but silence,
a silence so vast that ears can't hear it
Great trees like the pillars of the temple
with furs like green carpets underneath
While above, under the dome of heaven
where live the winged ones
The wind woods restless whispering
across the roof of the world
These are the eaters of grass in a world
of tall flesh
early the little fawns must learn the lesson,
Feet theirs make no noise,
eyes that see in the dark,
ears that heard the Leopard
leading his herd.
But Leopard lays by the law of claws
and horns and fang,
he will kill for hunger, and eat there all,
but he'll
never kill for killing sake,
a law that all men break
but jungle folks obey
These are the lords of the jungle,
tribe of Hati,
the Silent ones, they go their way,
eaters of grass in a world of carnage
But the Wolfs are the true hunters of the jungle
and likes hunt while stick to their clan
with a strict regard for hunting
calls and tribal law
three companion of the woods,
they may fight and quarrel
among their selfs and the strongest
wolf must take the leadership
Yet jungle folks says that the wisest
among them is the tribe of Balu the bear
He is a teacher of the jungle law
Yet there is one who knows no law
the barrel border mudguard, the Crocodile
with his chin in his shallows
and lust in his cold hearth
hopping to drag dawn to the deeps
all who wonder in his river banks
And in the legends of the jungle
there is a black creeps
shredders to the law of claw, horn and fang
disposers of buffalos, as reckless
and wounded elephants
but the voice is soft as wild
honey dripping from the tree
and prier and master and afraid
Bagheera, the black panther
And now behold the villain of my tale
the killer, the man killer, the assassin
over spread murderous through the jungle clans
Shere Khan, the Tiger
It is said that when the first kill
when he was king of a poor able of the glades
when he run from the scene of
his first crime
the trees and creepers whip him
with their branches and straight
his yellow eye with the mark of Cain
This evil law they must have it's
dislikers, his bullies pretenders,
Tabaqui, the jackal
and the hyena, hungry for the scraps
of the murderers masters feast
But my tale is not alone about outcast and heroes
I will tell you also of rock snake Kha,
the wise one
the Oracle who thought mother Eve's
speech menus for treachery and sin
What is the book of life itself
but men bows at nature,
the struggle between village and jungle
under the mantle of wild creepers
and great trees
many ruin cities lays forgotten
in the pages of time
where a thousand war chariots
proclaim the might emigrated king
before whom all men bow their heads
nothing remains but a tradice
for wild flicks some apart
But what of the great Maharaja
the loser in this battles
he has left many such palaces
to his cousins the monkey pack,
the bender logs, the outcast of the jungle
You must picture who I was, Milords
Buldeo, the mighty hunter
Was a long time ago
and very far away,
on a summer evening in the Sioni hills
come closer, come closer
Gems on the leather, Buldeo's message
that fool makes speeches the all day.
Come Durga lets listen to him
You cannot build your houses anywhere
We have to plan our top village
Someday will be a mighty city here
A mighty city with marble houses
Temple shall be there,
facing the market place
Thats where I want the bean patch
No there is where market place, as Buldeo says
and the barbershop will face the temple
I will find a bean patch anyway
outside your mighty city
Go Durga take the child
and the old man to the car
Natu, come grandfather
Did you heard that
we are going to have a market place
and a temple and a mighty city

his brothers of the jungle
Akela, the father wolf and
Raksha, the mother wolf
Knew that Shere Khan was prowling
outside looking for the men's cub
So they took him to the family
Natu.....
He grew up with the cubs
they call him Mowgli.
The little frog, father wolf
thought his business in their every brasses in the grass
just as much to him as to his brothers

All the lords of the jungle became
his friends
He had only one enemy

We missed you six months ago
He was Balu's cousin
He has no men for an enemy
But my father kills any bear he sees
Why?
Because he is a great hunter
He killed them even when his not hungry
Hungry we dont eat bears
Then why did he bring him here
To show how brave he is
and my father is very brave to kill that tiger
That old tiger
He lived on lizards and rats
he was too old to hunt rabbits
He must die in his sleep
I see you'll be kill a bear and a tiger in one shoot

I had fishing with them
Fishing with a bear, how can be a fisher bear
He looks in the river wishes

Didn't I tell you not to speak with this thing
I told you to keep way from this house
These why I'm here to talk to you

Tooth....yes

But I'll would sting as I die
and give this back to you
Aha, you are not in the jungle boy

More than two, now get out of my house
Fill Shere Khan is for you
Wont you be afraid to go back to the jungle
Afraid of the jungle I'm in the Wolf path

Then why did you buy a knife
For Shere Khan the Tiger, this is for him.
He drove me out of the jungle.
He went away far of
But he sword he would lay my bones
in the river when he return
I also need a little pride,
I have told the wolf I would kill him
You can speak their tongue

Can you talk to Rama
the great red cow
Rama is a dam slave she has been
with the men beck for so long
She cannot talk to anyone
Can you speak with him
And what did he say,
Don't you know what the Monkey
people always say
We the Monkey people are the
greatest folk in all the jungle
We know this is true because
we always say it is true.

And where is this great king now.
Where is he now.

And jet fire to your jungle,

Their ideals senseless and cruel,

But for sport

Kill them why, what good

Yes. the fire can't catch you there,
hurry the wind is shifting
Hati push, Hati push, push
I knew you'll come
You'll be safe among them now
But you my son come with us
Not while one little cub is in danger
Now go
Go on Hati, go on, go on
Swim my brothers follow me
Come on Bagheera
Go on Hati, go on
Mowgli
Come back with us, at last
I am of the jungle, their lair is my lair
Their trail, is my trail
their fight, is my fight
Ahai, is no longer my son
He's the Godling of the woods
So I didn't have my revenge after all
I became no Maharaja
of the mighty city
Even the little village burned to the ground
In my struggle with the jungle
as you see my lords I was beatten
And then, what happened then,
what became of Mowgli and your daughter
And how did you escape from the fire
That, Memsahib, is another story.
what a lovely head
India is filled with old men, Memsahib
But not like the man
with the yellow turban,
His is like the head of John the Baptist
Memsahib, refers to the story teller
Are these silent monsters in peace with us
It is but a truce they keep with men
But I, who have seen the task stained
red with blood
I could tell you a tale of the silent ones
for a few coppers
For a bowl of rice
What would you do with my image memsahib
I would keep it, for a memory of India
verily, you will have all India in your picture
Nay, you would have The Book of The Jungle
to read in my eyes
In the beginning, you must think
of nothing but silence,
a silence so vast that ears can't hear it
Great trees like the pillars of the temple
with furs like green carpets underneath
While above, under the dome of heaven
where live the winged ones
The wind woods restless whispering
across the roof of the world
These are the eaters of grass in a world
of tall flesh
early the little fawns must learn the lesson,
Feet theirs make no noise,
eyes that see in the dark,
ears that heard the Leopard
leading his herd.
But Leopard lays by the law of claws
and horns and fang,
he will kill for hunger, and eat there all,
but he'll
never kill for killing sake,
a law that all men break
but jungle folks obey
These are the lords of the jungle,
tribe of Hati,
the Silent ones, they go their way,
eaters of grass in a world of carnage
But the Wolfs are the true hunters of the jungle
and likes hunt while stick to their clan
with a strict regard for hunting
calls and tribal law
three companion of the woods,
they may fight and quarrel
among their selfs and the strongest
wolf must take the leadership
Yet jungle folks says that the wisest
among them is the tribe of Balu the bear
He is a teacher of the jungle law
Yet there is one who knows no law
the barrel border mudguard, the Crocodile
with his chin in his shallows
and lust in his cold hearth
hopping to drag dawn to the deeps
all who wonder in his river banks
And in the legends of the jungle
there is a black creeps
shredders to the law of claw, horn and fang
disposers of buffalos, as reckless
and wounded elephants
but the voice is soft as wild
honey dripping from the tree
and prier and master and afraid
Bagheera, the black panther
And now behold the villain of my tale
the killer, the man killer, the assassin
over spread murderous through the jungle clans
Shere Khan, the Tiger
It is said that when the first kill
when he was king of a poor able of the glades
when he run from the scene of
his first crime
the trees and creepers whip him
with their branches and straight
his yellow eye with the mark of Cain
This evil law they must have it's
dislikers, his bullies pretenders,
Tabaqui, the jackal
and the hyena, hungry for the scraps
of the murderers masters feast
But my tale is not alone about outcast and heroes
I will tell you also of rock snake Kha,
the wise one
the Oracle who thought mother Eve's
speech menus for treachery and sin
What is the book of life itself
but men bows at nature,
the struggle between village and jungle
under the mantle of wild creepers
and great trees
many ruin cities lays forgotten
in the pages of time
where a thousand war chariots
proclaim the might emigrated king
before whom all men bow their heads
nothing remains but a tradice
for wild flicks some apart
But what of the great Maharaja
the loser in this battles
he has left many such palaces
to his cousins the monkey pack,
the bender logs, the outcast of the jungle
You must picture who I was, Milords
Buldeo, the mighty hunter
Was a long time ago
and very far away,
on a summer evening in the Sioni hills
come closer, come closer
Gems on the leather, Buldeo's message
that fool makes speeches the all day.
Come Durga lets listen to him
You cannot build your houses anywhere
We have to plan our top village
Someday will be a mighty city here
A mighty city with marble houses
Temple shall be there,
facing the market place
Thats where I want the bean patch
No there is where market place, as Buldeo says
and the barbershop will face the temple
I will find a bean patch anyway
outside your mighty city
Go Durga take the child
and the old man to the car
Natu, come grandfather
Did you heard that
we are going to have a market place
and a temple and a mighty city
we have all that if we can beat the jungle
the view in your hundred years
seen men in a war with the nature

Is every woman ought to have
a wolf nurse a baby boy
Do you believe that Tibarah
Oh, yes Memsahib, and his Excellency,
your father has many records
of those children from Indian Hills
It is true
True?, in the beginning wasn't not written
That the she wolfs love the children of men
where not the wolfs the posted parents
of many childs in India
Little, naked and gob
The men's cub enter the wolf cave
He felt just at home with the cubs
as at his mother side
Natu....Natu....Natu
Lost, and tire, he fell asleep among
his brothers of the jungle
Akela, the father wolf and
Raksha, the mother wolf
Knew that Shere Khan was prowling
outside looking for the men's cub
So they took him to the family
Natu.....
He grew up with the cubs
they call him Mowgli.
The little frog, father wolf
thought his business in their every brasses in the grass
just as much to him as to his brothers
wolf's cubs
All the lords of the jungle became
his friends
He had only one enemy
Shere Khan The Tiger!
Did Mowgli live to hunt Shere Khan?
Did He live?
But how I know then, what I know now
Twelve years had past
And Shere Khan was on the trail
of the wolf boy.
Let me handle him
Buldeo.....Buldeo
Cover him up,...

How are you boy
Can you hear
Give a torch, a torch
This boy has never seen fire before
His is from the jungle
We must be kind to him, release Him
Release him?
Are you mad, this is a thing of the jungle
Let me look, let me look
Look at the scars on his arms
and legs
What's point at this bones he
has run out of us, with wolf cubs
Poor child...

He has the evil eye
I Beguine to think he had...
Moonshine,
I think this boy is Messua's little baby
which be stolen that day we build the wall
Could this boy be yours Messua
No, isn't my, but is a handsome boy
Eyes like red fire, any woman would
like to have a son like him
But my Natu was soft and plump
Mistress, how could he be plump
running naked in the woods
I warning all, his has the evil eye.
No Buldeo, he's some poor lost man
Not like my own, but, I'm a lonely woman
and if you would let me
I will shelter him
for some other woman who lost her son
He is a wolf, let one in
and all will follow
He will bring dawn the jungle upon us

The Tiger will short our streets
We have open our doors to the devil
Don't look upon evil
Majala
Get home to bed
At least I can keep my own daughter from harm
Expect, you bark, anyway to treat
one who comes to live with us
I remember the day I give
the first little shoes to my Natu
Wolf, wolf boy
Those feet had never want shoes
No, youre not my son
But you look very much like my son Natu
Natu call me mother
Mother,

Hiding place

Yes...buy you give me a tooth
A tooth you have all your teeth

What happen to him
My father shooter
We missed you six months ago
He was Balu's cousin
He has no men for an enemy
But my father kills any bear he sees
Why?
Because he is a great hunter
He killed them even when his not hungry
Hungry we dont eat bears
Then why did he bring him here
To show how brave he is
and my father is very brave to kill that tiger
That old tiger
He lived on lizards and rats
he was too old to hunt rabbits
He must die in his sleep
I see you'll be kill a bear and a tiger in one shoot
I kill both cousins
I had fishing with them
Fishing with a bear, how can be a fisher bear
He looks in the river wishes
the fish he wants then pick it up
Didn't I tell you not to speak with this thing
I told you to keep way from this house
These why I'm here to talk to you
to say I want a tooth
Tooth....yes

Put that knife dawn before a shoot trough you
Then you put my head on the wall

Aha, you are not in the jungle boy

More than two, now get out of my house
Fill Shere Khan is for you
Wont you be afraid to go back to the jungle
Afraid of the jungle I'm in the Wolf path

Then why did you buy a knife
For Shere Khan the Tiger, this is for him.
He drove me out of the jungle.
He went away far of
But he sword he would lay my bones
in the river when he return
I also need a little pride,
I have told the wolf I would kill him
You can speak their tongue

Can you talk to Rama
the great red cow
Rama is a dam slave she has been
with the men beck for so long
She cannot talk to anyone
Can you speak with him
And what did he say,
Don't you know what the Monkey
people always say
We the Monkey people are the
greatest folk in all the jungle
We know this is true because
we always say it is true.

Yes,....tonight when the moon raises
Are you afraid, lets go

and yet you know so little
This was a great whole city,

And where is this great king now.
Where is he now.

The jungle cast me out
I am a man, the men picks me out
But you kill Shere Khan

But it does not matter

Buldeo, you are wise and good
You save my life,

You are my friend
Stop quarreling loads up, up
We have to get up before night fall
We have to get out of here now
Thieves, vultures, get out of the jungle,

Did I hear what I heard
That fur ball talk with the voice of the boy
Yes, the voice talk with the voice of the panther
This place is bewitch
This is the way
Where is the rock, it was here
How do we cross now
We get more it trough
Wait, are crocodiles in this river
What are you waiting for
They are heading back to the lost city
Buldeo is right, lets go

Bagheera, white brother, chasing out of the jungle
Send him home
Wolf, panther, any beast you will
I'm not afraid of you,
Change, change
Scream, you witch of the forest
I'll burn the witch Messua,
and I'll come back with a hundred strong
And jet fire to your jungle,
when the east wind blow.
I'll burn you all
burn you all
Hati, dawn us the village of the men beck that cast me out
Their ideals senseless and cruel,
they do not kill the weaker for food
But for sport
The fool faith that would throw
their own bridge to the red flower
This such a heavy, is not wealth
that the men beck live here anymore
Kill them why, what good
are their bones to me
Shall send the jungle in upon them
I'll give the village back to the wild gold fire
They will burn us both
why are you frightened Durga
Why did you defend me
It is I who brought him into the world
He is my son
I Mistress... Go, save yourself Durga
No Mistress, if we must leave this world tonight
It is written that I should go with you
Buldeo is here, look
Buldeo
Where is the Pundit, where is the Barber
Dead, both dead
killed by the wolf boy
But I know how to deal with him
I'll burn, burn it all
We are lost if the wind turns
The jungle is burning, hurry up Hati
Mowgli, where is my mother
What have you done with her
Buldeo left her in a house.
they wouldn't allow me take her
They say she is a witch and
the fire will take her
The same fire will take them
They are frightened Mowgli
Lead them Majala to the little island
in the middle of the stream
Where we saw the elephants Mowgli
Yes. the fire can't catch you there,
hurry the wind is shifting
Hati push, Hati push, push
I knew you'll come
You'll be safe among them now
But you my son come with us
Not while one little cub is in danger
Now go
Go on Hati, go on, go on
Swim my brothers follow me
Come on Bagheera
Go on Hati, go on
Mowgli
Come back with us, at last
I am of the jungle, their lair is my lair
Their trail, is my trail
their fight, is my fight
Ahai, is no longer my son
He's the Godling of the woods
So I didn't have my revenge after all
I became no Maharaja
of the mighty city
Even the little village burned to the ground
In my struggle with the jungle
as you see my lords I was beatten
And then, what happened then,
what became of Mowgli and your daughter
And how did you escape from the fire
That, Memsahib, is another story.
