Quotes 

• Kaa : I think we can all agree, Mowgli, that you are something the jungle has never seen before.

• [first lines] 

  Kaa : [narrates]  I am the jungle's eyes. I can see the past, and the future. It is I, Kaa, who witnessed the coming of man. And the jungle trying to survive. I saw chaos and darkness come to our lands. I saw the tiger, Shere Khan, killing man, and breaking the jungle's ancient law. And then, one fateful night, I saw the jungle place its hopes into the hands of a small creature, the like of which it had never seen before.

• [last lines] 

  Kaa : [narrates]  With the tiger and the hunter now gone, the future shimmered from darkness into light. Mowgli, man and wolf, both and neither, had given the jungle a voice. And for as long as he stood watch, it would speak a lasting peace.

• Kaa : One day you will speak, and the jungle will listen. What will you say then, man-cub?

• Kaa : Are you afraid of me?

  Mowgli : No...

  Kaa : Sometimes fear is the only intelligent response, don't you think?

• Kaa : [to a silent Mowgli]  Say something, or I shall get bored. And when I get bored, I get hungry!

• Kaa : The whole jungle has been watching you, man-cub.

  Mowgli : Why?

  Kaa : Even you must know you are unusual. Not quite a wolf, not quite a man, or neither, or both...

• Kaa : [protecting Mowgli from the monkeys]  Leave the man-cub alone. He belongs with us!
