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!"
