Raksha
- Raksha: [to Mowgli] Never forget this: You're mine. Mine to me. No matter where you go, or what they may call you, you will always be my son.
- 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!
- 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.
- Raksha: Why are you doing this? He's gone! Isn't that what you want?
- Shere Khan: I want him dead. Once he gets word of what happened here, he'll come back... and I'll be waiting.
- [Shere Khan visits the wolf pack and learns that Mowgli has left]
- Shere Khan: Well, I guess it's done then... unless I can draw him BACK OUT!
- Raksha: Akela!
- [throws Akela off the cliff]
- Shere Khan: [to the pack] Have I got your attention now? I didn't want it to be this way. I made it SO simple. All I asked for was one thing, and you DENIED me! Well, that - ends - now. Spread the word! Until I have the man-cub, these hills are my hills. You did not RESPOND to reason, so now you will know fear!
- Shere Khan: [Shere Khan and Bagheera fight one more time. Shere Khan knocks Bagheera down and pins down his head] It's time we put an end to this!
- [prepares to deliver the killing bite to Bagheera's neck but Raksha tackles him]
- Raksha: No!
