Baloo
- Baloo: "This is the law of the jungle, as old and as true as the sky."
- Shere Khan: What is this?
- Baloo: "The wolf that keeps it may prosper /"
- Baloo, Bagheera: "... but the wolf that breaks it will die ."
- Shere Khan: You fools.
- Baloo, Bagheera, Raksha: "Like the creeper that girdles the tree trunk, the law runneth over and back."
- Shere Khan: Fine! Rise up, all of you! You want to put yourselves between me and the man-cub?
- Baloo, Bagheera, Raksha: "For the strength of the pack is the wolf..."
- Baloo, Bagheera, Raksha, Mowgli: [further joined by the other wolves] "... and the strength of the wolf is the pack!"
- Shere Khan: I will have you ALL IN MY TEETH!
- Baloo: [Mowgli wakes up to find Baloo's nose in his face sniffing him. He screams in terror. Baloo sharply draws his head back] Relax, kid. No need to get worked up. 'kay?
- Baloo: What'd I tell you? He's special.
- Bagheera: I know he's special. I raised him.
- Baloo: Then don't make him leave, Bagheera. You gotta let him be what he is.
- Bagheera: You don't understand. The boy's in danger.
- Baloo: I know. He told me. He's being hunted by a tiger.
- Bagheera: Not any tiger. Shere Khan.
- Baloo: Shere Khan's hunting him? Oh. But if you send him back to the man village, they'll ruin him. They'll make a man out of him. We should send him back to the wolf pack. Who's their alpha? Akela. He can protect him.
- Bagheera: Akela is dead.
- Baloo: What?
- Bagheera: Shere Khan killed him. He will stop at nothing until he has this boy. Nothing. The only way we can save him is if he goes to that man village. Please, Baloo. You're the only one he'll listen to.
- Baloo: Didn't the wolves ever sing?
- Mowgli: I don't know. Uh... Oh! We recited the law of the jungle: "This is the law of the jungle, as old and as true as the sky. The wolf that keeps it may prosper, but the wolf that breaks it will die."
- Baloo: Kid, that's not a song. That's propaganda.
- Mowgli: What's propaganda?
- Mowgli: It's honey stacks for winter.
- Bagheera: Have you lost your mind?
- Mowgli: You said you wouldn't get mad.
- Bagheera: Did you listen to anything Akela taught you? There's no place in the jungle for these... tricks. You want to do this, you do this in the man village.
- Mowgli: But I'm helping Baloo get ready for hibernation.
- Bagheera: Bears don't hibernate in a jungle. What are you teaching him?
- Baloo: Not full hibernation but I nap a lot.
- Bagheera: Listen to me, you con artist! He may not know your game, but I do. He's leaving now.
- Mowgli: But I don't WANNA leave!
- Bagheera: You don't have a choice!
- Baloo: Why don't we all just settle down for a minute. Look, it's gotten late - too late to travel - so why don't we all just have a little honey...?
- Bagheera: I don't eat honey.
- Baloo: No problem. I'll eat the honey. Let's all get a good night's sleep and we can talk about this in the morning?
- Bagheera: Fine, but we're leaving first thing.
- Baloo: [Looking at the pangolin] You have never been a more endangered species than you are at this moment.
- Baloo: Excuse me! Anybody? Excuse me, am I in the right monkey temple? Oh, my gosh, is that King Louie? This is so exiting. The legends do you no justice, sir. You are truly... ENORMOUS, ah-ha-ha, in the best way. Look at all of that... flesh just... squatting there on an ancient throne. How... how-how majestic.
- King Louie: [to his monkeys] Seize him!
- Baloo: Hey! Hang on! Can you hang on? Can you just hang on? I climbed a mountain to see you - and I'm not a climber - just to be in your presence. For me this is a dream come true. Oh!
- King Louie: Throw him off the cliff!
