[Bagheera and Mowgli settle down for the night on a branch of a tree.]
I'm not afraid. I-I can look after myself.
K Kaa
[Kaa the python then appears from the leaves, he smacks his lips when noticing Mowgli, looks towards Bagheera to see him sleeping. He then approaches Mowgli.]
S-SS-Say, now! [Mowgli looks up unimpressed, scowls at Kaa, and then sticks his tongue out at him.] What have we here? [chuckles] It's a Man-Cub, a deeliss-ss-see-aws-ss-s Man-Cub.
[angrily pushing Kaa away.]
Oh, go away and leave me alone.
[sleeping]
That's just what I should do, but I'm not. Now, now, now, please go to sleep, Man-cub!
K Kaa
[Kaa nods his head in agreement and begins to hypnotize Mowgli.] [imitating Bagheera's sentence]
Yes-ss-s, Man-Cub. [singing] Please go to sleep. Please go to sleep. [sings this as tuned from "Rock-a-Bye Baby"] Sleep, little Man-Cub, res-ss-st in peas-ss-se.
K Kaa
[Kaa begins to wrap his coils around a hypnotized Mowgli.]
S-SS-Sleep. S-SS-Sleep.
[moaning]
Ba-Ba-Ba-Bagheera?
[Kaa wraps his tail tightly around Mowgli's throat, choking Mowgli, himself. Bagheera is still unaware at what's happening.] [sleeping]
Oh, now, look, there's no use arguing anymore. Now, no more talk till morning.
K Kaa
[Kaa now completely has a fully hypnotized and smiling Mowgli wrapped around his coils.] [chuckles]
He won't be here in the morning.
[glances at Mowgli and Kaa]
Huh? Oh, yes, he will-- [suddenly realizes what is happening and fully wakes up; alarmed] KAA!!!! HOLD IT, KAA! [just before Kaa is about to eat Mowgli, Bagheera angrily slaps Kaa's head onto another tree branch, and Kaa bangs his head on it. This makes Mowgli fully conscious and released from Kaa's coils.]
K Kaa
Ooooh, my s-ss-sinus-ss-s! [scowls at Bagheera and moves forward to him] You have just made a s-ss-serious-ss-s mis-ss-stake, my friend. A very, s-ss-stupid--
[nervously]
Now, Kaa, look, I was--
K Kaa
--mis-ss-stake! Look me in the eye when I'm s-ss-speaking to you! [begins to hypnotize Bagheera]
Please, Kaa-- [looks Kaa in his left eye]
K Kaa
Both eyes, if you pleas-ss-se! [hypnotizes the panther, and now Baggie is fully hypnotized and smiling] You have jus-ss-st s-ss-sealed your doom. [Mowgli pushes Kaa's coils off the branch with his feet, causing the snake to comically fall from the tree] Ooooh.
Look, Bagheera! [points at Kaa] Look. Bagheera! Wake up, Bagheera! [smacks both his cheeks with his bare hands]
[wakes up]
Uh, duh, wha--?
K Kaa
[slithering away, angrily]
Jus-ss-st you wait till I get you in my coils! [suddenly stops because a knot on his tail gets stuck between a couple bamboo stems]
[laughs playfully]
Bagheera, he's got a knot on his tail.
K Kaa
[mimics Mowgli, sarcastically]
"Hee-hee-hee! He's got a knot on his tail." [frees his tail, but that causes his whole body to come together like an accordion, then Kaa crawls away now with his bent coils] Ooooh, this-ss-s will s-ss-slow down my s-ss-slithering. [Mowgli laughs playfully]
[smirks]
So, you could look out for yourself, can you? [then smiles] So, you wanna stay in the jungle, do ya?
Yes. [frowns] I wanna stay in the jungle!
[annoyed]
D'oh! Now, for the last time.... [snaps and both half-smirks (on the right) and half-smiles (on the left)] ....go to SLEEP!!!! [Mowgli pouts as he tries to get some sleep] Man-Cub, heh! Man-Cub. [They finally go to sleep and settle down for the night]
K Kaa
Oh, now what? I'll be right down. [gets down from the tree almost completely] Yes? Yes? Who is it?
It's me. Shere Khan. I'd like a word with you, if you don't mind.
K Kaa
Shere Khan. What a surprise.
Yes, isn't it? I just dropped by. Now, forgive me if I've interrupted anything.
K Kaa
Oh, no, no. Nothing at all.
[his claws pop out from his paw, and he drums on the ground with them]
I thought perhaps that you were entertaining someone up there in your coils.
K Kaa
Coils? Someone? Oh, no. I was just curling up for my siesta.
But you were singing to someone. [grabs hold of Kaa's throat] Who is it, Kaa?
K Kaa
[choking like mad]
No. No. I was just...singing to myself.
K Kaa
Yes. You see, I have... [gulps] ...trouble with my sinuses.
What a pity? [releases Kaa's neck and gently pins him to the ground]
K Kaa
Oh, you have no idea. It's s-ss-simply terrible. I can't eat. I can't s-ss-sleep. So, I s-ss-sing myself to s-ss-sleep. You know, s-ss-self-hypnosis? [smiles deviously, brings his head close to Shere Khan's face] Let me show you how it works-ss-s. [He uses his hypnosis technique with his eyes] "Trus-ss-st in me...."
[Shere Khan pushes Kaa away and pins his head to the ground, unaffected]
Oh, no, I can't be bothered with that. I have no time for that sort of nonsense.
K Kaa
Some other time, perhaps?
Perhaps. But at the moment, I'm searching for a Man-Cub.
K Kaa
Man-Cub? What Man-Cub?
The one who's lost. Now, where do you suppose he could be?
K Kaa
Search me. [He closes his mouth for telling Shere Khan to search Mowgli on his tentacles]
That's an excellent idea. I'm sure that you wouldn't mind showing me your coils, would you, Kaa?
K Kaa
Certainly not. Nothing here... [lowering his tail] ...and nothing in here. [his tail pointing to his mouth open, and Shere Khan hears Mowgli snoring. Alarmed, he starts snorting and coughs.] It's my sinuses.
Hmm. Indeed. And now, how about the middle?
K Kaa
The middle? Oh, the middle. [lowering the middle leaving Mowgli on the tree trunk spinning around and showing Shere Khan the middle of his coils and then getting tickled] Absolutely nothing in the middle!
Hmm. Really? Well, if you do just happen to see the Man-Cub, you will inform me first. Understand? [scratching Kaa's neck gently]
K Kaa
[gulps]
I get the point. [spinning himself into a bow with his head on top] Cross my heart and hope to die.
Good show. And now, I must continue my search for the helpless little lad. [leaves]
K Kaa
Ooh, who does he think he's fooling? "The helpless little lad." Ooooh, he gives me the sh-sh-sh-shivers. [Kaa's shivering unintentionally wakes up Mowgli] Picking on that poor, little, helpless boy. [smiling] Oh, yes. Poor, little, helpless boy. [Mowgli pushes the rest of Kaa off the branches and sends him falling comically to the ground yet again]
[climbs down the tree]
You told me a lie, Kaa! You said that I could trust you!
K Kaa
It's like you s-ss-said; you can't trus-ss-st anyone! [tries to strike Mowgli, only to again be caught in by a knot in his tail; when he pulls it out, his body comes back like an accordion] If I never see that s-ss-skinny little shrimp again, it will be too s-s-s-soon. Oh, my s-s-s-sacriliac.
