When you were a cub, I looked you in the eye and saw no fear. I believed that one day you would bring peace to the jungle. But you have become a man now.
I'm not a man! But neither am I a wolf.
Shere Khan

Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle quotes
Page 1 of 2You have no right to be here, Shere Khan.
I think you'll find I stay where I please.
You kill man's cattle, you poison the jungle. You're the reason man is here!
But you permitted man to live among you! You pretend that he is a wolf! But we both know that is the one thing he will never be! He will always be a man! You poisoned the jungle! But you are no longer leader now, are you? You missed your kill. And by your law, your pack must challenge you.
The whole jungle has been watching you, man-cub.
Why?
Even you must know you are unusual. Not quite a wolf, not quite a man, or neither, or both...
Did you smell the blood, man-cub?
What is it? The creature that did that to your tail.
It's called "fire". It's hotter than the sun, and it's quicker than a panther. Your kind use dark magic, man-cub.
They're not my kind.
Evening Nisha, Vihaan. It's a lovely, isn't it?
Vihaan
What is it that you want, Tabaqui? What's that I smell, fresh kill?
Nisha
If it's bones you're after, look elsewhere. We have enough mouths to feed.
I mean no trouble, Nisha. [sees man-cub] Oh.
Nisha
[Shere Khan roars]
Your master calls. You best go quickly. He sounds a little tempered tonight.
That he does, that he does. And with good reason. [takes off] I found the man-cub! I found the man-cub!
You don't JOIN THE PACK!
[first lines of the film; narrating]
I am the jungle's eyes. I can see the past, and the future. It is I, Kaa, who witnessed the coming of man. And the jungle trying to survive. I saw chaos and darkness come to our lands. I saw the tiger, Shere Khan, killing man, and breaking the jungle's ancient law. And then, one fateful night, I saw the jungle place its hopes into the hands of a small creature, the like of which it had never seen before.
[last line of the film; narrating]
With the tiger and the hunter now gone, the future shimmered from darkness into light. Mowgli, man and wolf, both and neither, had given the jungle a voice. And for as long as he stood watch, it would speak a lasting peace.
[last lines before he retreats in terror and leaves Shere Khan to his fate]
What's he doing!?
[last words before his death]
You know, I can still hear... your mother's screams... the night I took... her life!
[to Shere Khan about Mowgli]
This cub is under the protection of the pack. Should you decide to take me, you take on the pack, all of us.
[when Mowgli is in a cage]
I lived in a king's palace, in a cage just like this. I bit, and I scratched, and I spent my entire life fighting. Until one day, I just stopped, and they gave me their trust. Gain their trust, and they'll let you out.
