Kaa: Oh, now what? I'll be right down. [gets down from the tree almost completely] Yes? Yes? Who is it?Shere Khan: It's me. Shere Khan. I'd like a word with you if you don't mind.Kaa: Shere Khan. What a surprise.Shere Khan: Yes, isn't it? I just dropped by. Now, forgive me if I've interrupted anything.Kaa: Oh,no. No. Nothing at all.Shere Khan: I thought perhaps you were entertaining someone up there in your coils.Kaa: Coils? Someone? Oh, no. I was just curling up for my siesta.Shere Khan: But you were singing to someone. [squeezes Kaa's throat] Who is it, Kaa?Kaa: [choking like mad] No... no... I was just... singing... uh.... to myself.Shere Khan: Indeed?Kaa: Yes. You see, I have... trouble with my sinuses.Shere Khan: What a pity. [releases Kaa's neck and gently pins him to the ground]Kaa: Oh, you have no idea. It's simply terrible. I can't eat. I can't sleep. So, I sing myself to sleep. You know, self-hypnosis? [smiles deviously, brings his head close to Shere Khan's face] Let me show you how it works. [He uses his hypnosis technique with his eyes] "Trust in me...."[Shere Khan, unaffected, pushes Kaa away and pins his head to the ground]Shere Khan: Oh, no, I can't be bothered with that. I have no time for that sort of nonsense.Kaa: Some other time, perhaps?Shere Khan: Perhaps. But at the moment, I'm searching for a Man-cub.Kaa: Man-cub? What Man-cub?Shere Khan: The one who's lost. Now, where do you suppose he could be?Kaa: Search me.Shere Khan: That's an excellent idea. Now, I'm sure you wouldn't mind showing me your coils would you, Kaa?Kaa: Certainly not. Nothing in there. [lowering his tail] And nothing in here. [his tail pointing to his mouth open]Mowgli: [snoring]Kaa: [snorting] It's my sinuses.Shere Khan: Hmm. Indeed. And now, how about the middle?Kaa: The middle? Oh, the middle. [lowering the middle leaving Mowgli on the tree trunk spinning around and showing Shere Khan the middle of his coils and then getting tickled] Absolutely nothing in the middle!Shere Khan: Hmm. Really? Well, if you do just happen to see the Man-cub, you will inform me first. Understand? (scrathing Kaa's neck gently)Kaa: I-I-I-I get the point. [spinning himself into a bow with his head on top] Cross my heart, hope to die.Shere Khan: Good show. And now, I must continue my search for the helpless little lad.Kaa: Ooh, who does he think he's fooling? "The helpless little lad"... ooooh, he gives me the shhhhhhivers. [Kaa's shivering wakes up Mowgli] Picking on that poor, little, helpless boy. [smiling] Oh yes... poor, little, helpless boy...[Mowgli pushes the rest of Kaa off the branches and sends him falling to the ground (again)]Mowgli: [climbs down the tree] You told me a lie, Kaa! You said I could trust you!Kaa: It's like you sssaid: you can't trusssst anyone! [tries to strike Mowgli, only to caught in by a knot in his tail; when he pulls it out, his body comes back like an accordion] If I never see that ssskinny little shrimp again, it will be too soon. My poor sssacriliac.
