A scene from The Jungle Book 1967
King Louie

Ha-ha! So, you're the Man-Cub? [rolls his eyes] Crazy.

Mowgli

I'm not as crazy as you are. [to the monkeys] Put me down!

Mowgli

[A monkey lets go of Mowgli's ankles, and Mowgli lands flat on his face.] [angrily shaking a fist at the monkey]

You cut that out!

King Louie

[picks up Mowgli by his loincloth]

Cool it, boy, and unwind yourself. [scat-sings to himself; Mowgli furiously punches the air] Now, c'mon, let's shake, Cousin. [grabs Mowgli's hand and shakes it]

Mowgli

What do ya want me for?!

King Louie

Word has grabbed my royal ears.... have a banana.... [shoots the banana into Mowgli's mouth] ....that you wanna stay in the jungle.

Mowgli

[mouth full of banana]

Stay in the jungle? I sure do!

King Louie

Good! And ol' King Louie.... [scats, then indicates himself with all of his pointy fingers] ....that's me.... can fix it for you. [holds up 3 of his fingers] Have 2 bananas. [shoots the banana pair into Mowgli's mouth] Have we got a deal?

Mowgli

[mouth full of bananas]

Yes, sir. I'll do.... [swallows] I'll do anything to stay in the jungle.

King Louie

Well, then, I'll lay it on the line for you. [Begins singing "I Wan'na Be Like You"]
