Bagheera Asks Colonel Hathi for Help

( Shere Khan comes close to a deer grazing, lies down ready to pounce, but elephants trumpet and the deer runs away)

Elephants march and sing: Hup, two, three, four Hup, two, three, four Keep it up, two, three, four.

Shere Khan: What beastly luck. Confound that ridiculous colonel Hathi.

Hathi : Comany, sound off!

Elephants march and sing: Oh we march from here to there

Elephant #3: And it doesn't matter where

Elephants: You can hear us push

Through the deepest bush

Hup, two, three, four

Hathi : With a military air!

Elephants: With a military air. (they trumpet)

Doraemon: Do you hear that?

Bagheera : The jungle patrol.

Elephants: We're a crackerjack bridage

On a pachyderm parade

But we'd rather stroll

To a water hole

Hathi Jr: Hup, two, three, four

Elephants: For a furlough in the shade

Baghhera: (arrives) stop!

( Elephants don't notice)

Sue: I think you mean halt.

Bagheera: You're right. HALT!!!

( Elephants stop, crashing into each other)

Hathi : Who said "Halt"? I give the commands around here. Now speak up, who was it?

Bagheera : Oh, it was me, colonel.

Phineas: And us as well.

Hathi: What do you mean, taking over my command? Highly irregular you know.

Bagheera : Colonel, I am sorry, but-but I need your help.

(Shere Khan comes closer to listen)

Hathi : Impossible. We're on a cross-country march.

Bagheera : It's an emergency, colonel. The man-cub must be found.

Hathi : Man-cub? What man-cub?

Shere Khan: How interesting...

Bagheera : The one I was taking to the man-village.

Hathi : It's where he belongs. Now sir, if you don't mind, we'd like to get on with the march.

Sue : No, no, you don't understand, Hathi. He's lost. He ran away.

Shere Khan: How delightful.

Hathi : Well, serves the young wippersnapper right.

Bagheera : But-but Shere Khan, the tiger, he's sure to pick up the man-cub's trail.

(Shere Khan nods)

Hathi : Ha, ha. Shere Khan. Nonsense, old boy. Shere Khan isn't within miles of here. (Shere Khan chuckles) Sorry Bagheera. Fortunes of war and all that sort of thing you know.

Winifred: (walks to Hathi) This has gone far enough.. Now just a minute, you pompous old windbag!

Hathi: Winifred? WHat are you doing out of ranks?

Winifred: Never mind. How would you like our boy lost and alone inthe jungle? (Hathi Jr. poses as illustration for the words)

Hathi : Our son? But Winifred, old girl, that's an entirely different matter.

Winifred: Humph!

Hathi : Different. Entirely.

Winifred: That boy is no differnet than our own son. Now you help find him or I'm taking over command.

Hathi: What? A female leading my herd? Utterly preposterous.

Hathi Jr.: Pop, the man-cub and I are friends. He'll get hurt if we don't find him. Please, Pop? Sir? Please?

Hathi : Now, don't you worry, son. You father had a plan in mind all the time.

Winifred: Huh. Sure you did.

Hathi : Troopers, Company, left face! Volunteers for a special mission will step one pace forward. (Hathi turn around, all elephants do one step behind, except Elephant #3, who then notices it and step behind too)

Hathi : Ha, ha. That's what I like to see. Devotion to duty. You volunteers will find the lost man-cub.

Bagheera: Thank you colonel. Now there's no time to lose. (Bagheera, Doraemon, Sue, Phineas and Ferb leave)

Hathi : Yes, well. Good luck. (in whisper) When the man-cub is sighted you will sound your trumpet 3 times.

Elephant #2: Yes sir. (he trumpets and Hathi silences him)

Hathi :	Shh. Not now soldier.

Elephant #2:Sorry, sir.

Hathi (comes to Elephant #7) Leutenant, our strategy shall be the element of surprise. You will take one squad and cover the right flank (Shere Khan leans forward to hear the whisper)

Elephant #7: Yes sir.

Hathi: (even quieter) And I shall take the other squad on the left flank (very loud) Company!!! Forward... March!

( Elephants walk away, falling trees as they go)

Shere Khan: Element of surprise? I say. Ha, ha, ha. And now for my rendezvous with the lost man-cub.
