The Jungle Book Page #2

I'm puttin' in for

a transfer to another herd.

Silence in the ranks!

Dress up that line.

Pull it in, Winifred.

Inspection! Arms!

Stick your nose out.

- Like this?

- That's right.

A dusty muzzle.

Soldier, remember, in battle,

that trunk can save your life.

- Take good care of it, my man.

- Yes, sir!

Very good. Cary on.

- Let's have a little more spit

and polish on those bayonets.

- Yes, sir.

Esprit de corps.

That's the way I earned my commission in

the Maharajah's fifth pachyderm brigade.

Back in '88, it was.

Uh, or was it?

Here it comes.

The Victoria Cross bit again.

It was then I received

the Victoria Cross...

for bravely above and

beyond the call of duty.

Those were the days.

Discipline.

Discipline was the thing.

Builds character, and all that

sort of thing, you know.

Oh, oh, where was I?

Oh, yes. Inspection.

Well, very good.

Wipe off that silly grin, soldier.

This is the army.

Eyes front.

Lieutenant, that haircut

is not regulation.

Rather on the gaudy side,

don't you think?

There. That's better.

And as for you...

Oh, there you are.

Let's keep those heels

together, shall we, son?

Okay, Pop. Sir.

Yes, now that's better.

Well, a new recruit, eh?

I say, what happened

to your trunk?

Hey! Stop that!

A man cub!

Oh, this is treason!

Sabotage! I'll have

no man cub in my jungle!

- I-It's not your jungle!

- Hold it! Hold it! I can explain, Hathi.

Colonel Hathi,

If you please, sir.

Oh, yes, yes.

Colonel Hathi.

Uh, the man cub is with me.

I'm taking him back to the man village.

- To stay?

- You have the word of Bagheera.

Good. And remember,

an elephant never forgets.

I don't know what the army's

coming to these days.

These young whippersnappers,

who do they think they are?

Let's get on with it!

Right face!

Forward march!

Dear, haven't you

forgotten something?

Nonsense, Winifred old girl.

An elephant never forgets.

Well, you just

forgot our son.

Uh, uh, son... Son?

Son! Oh, yes, yeah, yeah!

Quite right.

To the rear! March!

When I grow up, I'm gonna be

a Colonel, just like my...

- If I've told you once, I've

told you a thousand times...

- Oh!

Pop! Look out!

Gee, Pop, you forgot

to say "halt."

He said an elephant

never forgets.

It's not funny.

Now let's get out of here quick

before anything else happens.

Bagheera!

Where are we goin'?

You're going back to

the man village right now.

- I'm not going.

- Oh, yes, you are!

I'm staying right here!

You're going if I have to

drag you every step of the way.

- Let go, you...

- You let go of me!

Oh, that does it.

I've had it, man cub!

From now on, you're

on your own alone!

Don't worry about me.
