He's gentle and harmless.

Well, tell that to

Sgt. Harley's sweets.

- I'm sorry?

- Nevermind. Nevermind.

- Anyway, he's Captain Boone's concern now.

- Father, please, listen.

Speaking of Captain Boone,

no news for your old father?

- Father, please.

- Hello, Geoffrey.!

Isn't it all very, very exciting?

Exciting? What?

The boy, Father. He's Mowgli.

Mowgli? Mowgli, the boy...

Your little friend?

No, it couldn't possibly be.

He's was five years old.

No child could survive in the jungle.

Not for ten minutes, much less...

It's your mother's bracelet.

I gave this to you when you were...

Yes, and I gave it to a small boy

named Mowgli. Remember?

Could it be him?

Well, it's our duty to help him.

Be a fascinating case study,

Geoffrey.

You know, chart his development, his

ability to learn language, to reason.

Find out the effects of growing up

away from civilization. It's...

- A unique scientific...

- Opportunity!

- Exactly.

- Exactly.

- Thought this out, haven'tyou?

- Just came to us.

Spontaneously.

What am I supposed to do?

Invite him for the weekend?

Well, we've been preparing a place

for him outside in the garden shed.

So he won't feel so confined.

Of course. Just came to you.

Splendid!

Where did you get the dagger?

Harley, my dull friend,

your Hindi is worse than your breath.

- He's really something, this one, isn't he?

- He's an animal, isn't he?

Hello, William,

John, Sgt. Harley.

- Miss Katherine!

- Katherine. What are you doing down here?

Dr. Plumford and I believe your new prisoner's

the jungle boy the villagers all talk about.

- The one raised by the animals?

- Yes.

We want to help him re-enter

man's world, teach him to speak.

But he's vicious and uncivilized.

Then we'll make him civilized.

What did you do to him?

He did it to himself.

We tried to stop him.

He has, miss. He's done it to himself.

He's mad, you see.

Don't put your fingers in there, miss.

He'll bite them off.

Mowgli.

K-Kitty?

Shh. Billy.

If he can be taught to speak,

then he can be made to talk.

Come on, Mowgli.

Come on. Good. Nice hot English

bath for you. You'll enjoy it.

There's nothing to be scared about.

Splendid.

All right, then.

All right, then.

Thank you.

Hey!

Hey!

Ah, look.

- "A."

- "A."

- "B."

- "B."

- "C."

- "C."

O, P, Q Rrr, Sss, T, U, V.

- No, no, no! Clockwise.

- Clockwise.

Clockwise.

- Engine.

- En-gine.

- Fire.

- Fire.

- Pass.

- Pass.

Road, people, roof,

window and door.

Next. Ah. Lots of water.

Boat. Boat.

- Boat.

- Good, Mowgli. Well done.

Lake. R... Mowgli!

Next.

- Prince Albert.

- Prince Albert.

- Al-bert.

- Albert.

- Albert.
