Kaa's Second Encounter

(Kaa picks Mowgli from the ground and raises to the branch he is on)

Mowgli: Kaa, it's you!

Kaa: Yes-s-s, man-cub, so nice to see you again. sss-sss-sss.

Mowgli: Oh, go away. Leave me alone.

Kaa: Let me look at you. (Mowgli turns away from Kaa's eyes) You don't want me to look at you? Then you look at me.

Rudolph: Stop right there, Kaa! We know what you're trying to do.

Kaa: You do? Uh, I mean, you don't trust me.

Mowgli: No!

Kaa: Then there's nothing I can do to help?

Mowgli: You want to help us?

Kaa: Ss-certainly. I can see to it that you never have to leave this jungle.

Mowgli: How could you do that?

Kaa: Hmm? Oh, I have my own ss-subtle little ways. But first, you must trust me.

Rudolph: You know what? We don't trust the snakes.

Kaa: I don't blame you. I'm not like those so-called fair-weather friends of yours. You can believe in me. (Kaa finally gets to see into Rudolph and Mowgli's eyes long enough) (singing) Trust in me Just in me

(Rudolph falls into a trance under Kaa's spell) Shut your eyes

and Trust in Me

Hold still, please

You can sleep

Safe and sound Knowing I Am around

Slip into silent slumber Sail on a silver mist Slowly and surely your senses

Will cease to resist

(Mowgli snores while standing on his head on the tip of Kaa's tail) (talking) You're snoring.

Mowgli: Sorry.

Kaa: (continues singing) Trust in me And just in me Shut your eyes And trust in me........
