Akela Quotes in The Jungle Book (2016)

Akela: Mowgli is a member of our pack!

Shere Khan: Mowgli... they've given it a name! When was it we come to adopt man to this jungle?

Akela: He's just a cub.

Shere Khan: [shows his scars] Does my face not remind you of what grown man can do?

Bagheera: Maybe I can be of help. The boy's right. Maybe it's time, we found in other people.

Raksha: No!

Bagheera: I'm the one who brought him to you. And now I'll return him to where he belongs.

Raksha: [goes in front of Mowgli] I won't let you. He's my cub!

Akela: We knew this day would come.

Raksha: We are the only family he's ever known!

Akela: Raksha, It's the only place he'll be safe.

Mowgli: [walks to Raksha] It's okay, Rakmie, I won't go far. I-I'll come back and visit.

Akela: No more tricks.

Akela: [to his fellow wolves about Mowgli] Shere Khan will surely kill the boy and all who try to protect him. Now, are we all in agreement as to what must be done?

[the wolves nod]

Akela: Now it is my unpleasant duty to tell the boy's father. Rama? Come over here, please.

Father Wolf: Yes, Akela?

Akela: The Council has reached its decision. Man-cub can no longer stay with the pack. He must leave at once.

Father Wolf: Leave?

Akela: I am sorry, Rama; there is no other way.

Father Wolf: But... but the man-cub is... is like my own son. Surely he's entitled to the protection of the pack.

Akela: But, Rama, even the strength of the pack is no match for the tiger.

Father Wolf: But the boy cannot survive alone in the jungle.

Bagheera: Akela, perhaps I can be of help.

Akela: You, Bagheera? How?

Bagheera: I know of a man-village where he'll be safe. Mowgli and I have taken many walks into the jungle together. I'm sure he'll go with me.

Akela: So be it. Now there's no time to lose. Good luck.
