HATHI

Inspection! Arms!

(COLONEL HATHI turns to the BABY ELEPHANT, who stands at attention and salutes. MOWGLI does the same.)

Well, a new recruit, hey?
(laughs)
I say, what happened to your trunk?

(COLONEL HATHI pokes MOWGLI's nose.)
 

MOWGLI

Hey! Stop that!
 

HATHI

Hah.
(sputters)
A man-cub! This is treason! Sabotage! I'll have no man-cub in my jungle!
 

MOWGLI

It's not your jungle!

(BAGHEERA intervenes.)
 

BAGHEERA

Hold it! Hold it! i can explain. The man-cub is with me.
 

COCONUT TREE

He's taking him to the man-village.
 

HATHI

To stay?
 

BAGHEERA

You have my word.
 

HATHI

Good. That's where he belongs. And remember, an elephant never forgets!
(huffs)
Forward ... march!

(COLONEL HATHI turns and marches off with his troops. CRASH offstage.)
 

MOWGLI

What happened?
 

BAGHEERA

I think he forgot to say "Halt!"
