triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Guion


Baloo: Hey! Mowgli, look... I got a lot of gathering to do these next couple of weeks on account of the hibernation. I could really use your help. You know, if you stuck around...

Mowgli: I can't. I have to go to the man village.

Baloo: For what reason, man village?

Mowgli: I don't have a choice. There's a tiger hunting me.

Baloo: Really? Why a tiger?

Mowgli: Because I'm a man-cub, alright? Just leave me alone.

Baloo: Hey! Mowgli, my friend, my buddy, my pal. Slow down a second, handsome.

Mowgli: Bagheera said I have to go to the man village.

Baloo: Oh, Bagheera! I know him. Sure. You know what his problem is? He always plays by the rules. And, sometimes rules were meant to be, well, not necessarily broken, but certainly bent. And definitely reinterpreted. Don't you think?

Mowgli: He told me to go to the man village, so that's where I'm going to go!

Baloo: Okay, fine. You want to go to the man village, have it your way. In fact, I'll do you one better. I'll take you there myself. Come on, let's go. It's getting late.


Baloo: (singing) Bear necessities.

Baloo: It's just a little farther.

Mowgli: That's the man village?

Baloo: Yep. You can always tell by the Red Flower. They do love their Red Flower.

Mowgli: The Red Flower doesn't seem so bad.

Baloo: Yeah. Let it loose, and it destroys everything it touches. Don't ever play with it. You got that?

Mowgli: Yeah, I got it.

Baloo: Good.

Mowgli: Do you think that's where I'm from?

Baloo: Could be. I don't know, kid. Does it look familiar?

Mowgli: I don't remember it. All I remember is living with the wolves.

Baloo: Why do you want to go there?

Mowgli: Bagheera said I need a people.

Baloo: Again, with the listening to Bagheera.

Mowgli: Hey, he's my friend, okay? Now I don't even know where he is. I can't believe I'm leaving the jungle for good.

Baloo: May I say just one thing? What I saw you do today, I've never seen anything like it. I've been trying to get that honey for years.

Mowgli: But I used my tricks.

Baloo: What tricks?

Mowgli: You know, everything that I built. It's not the wolf way.

Baloo: Who cares? The wolf way. That's the Mowgli way. That's the Baloo way. That's our way. That's how we get things done. I can't even imagine what kind of potential you'd have if you had somebody like me helping you out.

Baloo: You say you want to go to the man village. I say you could be a man right here. I'll tell you what. Now you know where the man village is. You can always go down there whenever you want.

Baloo: But I would personally appreciate it as a personal favor to me personally if we just worked together, just us, tricks and all. I think it would be interesting to see just how much honey we could accumulate before winter. Whatever I could do to make your trickiness happen, I will do.

Baloo: And if it turns out to not be fun for you, I will walk you right down to that man village myself. Is that a deal?

Mowgli: Just till winter.

Baloo: Just till winter.
