Akela
- Akela: Mowgli belongs to my pack, Shere Khan.
- Shere Khan: Mowgli? They've given it a name! When was it we came to adopt man into the jungle?
- Akela: He's just a cub.
- Shere Khan: [shows his scars] Does my face not remind you of what a grown man can do?
- Bagheera: Maybe I can be of help. The boy's right. Maybe it's time he found another people.
- Raksha: No!
- Bagheera: I'm the one who brought him to you, and now I'll return him to where he belongs.
- Raksha: [goes in front of Mowgli] I won't let you. He's MY cub!
- Akela: We knew this day would come.
- Raksha: We are the only family he's ever known!
- Akela: Raksha, it's the only place he'll be safe.
- Mowgli: [walks to Raksha] It's okay, ami, I won't go far. I-I'll come back and visit.
