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.
Mowgli: No sir. I know what you're trying to do, Kaa-AA!
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 me?
'Kaa: Ss-certainly. I can see to it that you never have to leave this
jungle.Mowgli: How could you do that?Ka'a: Hmm? Oh, I have my own ss-subtle little ways. But first, you must
trust me.
Mowgil: I don't trust anyone anymore.
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 Mowgli's eyes long enough]
(singing) Trust in me
Just in me
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]
You're snoring.
Mowgli: Ssssorry.
Kaa: Trust in me
And just in me
Shut your eyes
And trust in me........
