Rikki-Tikki-Tavi (1965) - full transcript
The film takes place in the jungles of India. There is located the bungalow of the forester Robert Lawson. His son named Teddy walks through the forest with his friend, a Hindu boy named John. Together they swim around the lake in a boat made of reeds, watch the animals around them, which are very many in the jungle. But suddenly a thunderstorm came that made the guys hide near the shore. From there, they watched how a very strong current carried away various animals, which vainly resist the rapid flow. One animal, the mongoose, is saved by Teddy, who for this has rushed into the water. But this help was very expensive for the boy: he stopped walking because of a bruised back.

Learn to fight, son!
With your teeth
With your claws
By jumping
And by pouncing
You know, they say
When a mongoose gets bitten by a snake
He eats some herb
Which supposedly cures him
That is not true
The victory of a mongoose over a cobra
is a matter of quickness of eye and foot
A cobra's bite
against a mongoose's jump!
This very jump is more wonderful
Than any healing herb
Rikki-tikki-tikk!
Got any news, sister?
Listen up, Chuchundra!
There's a bunch today
Did you see it yourself?
Where?
In the melon-beds?
And also...
A young mongoose has died
Take a look
Here he lies, the poor thing
No, no!
My heart is broken as it is
And anyway
I have always said
When parents don't bother
with their kids' upbringing
kids drown in puddles
A dead mongoose!
Maybe he is still alive
Try to warm him up
Rikki-tikki-tikk!
Rikki wants to become your friend
Abu! He will bite him!
No!
Unless Abu tries to pick him up by his tail
Let's give him some food
Maybe he will like it here
What happened?
The mongoose has awakened!
He isn't so stupid as to have drowned
And I have always said
When parents raise their kids right
kids don't drown in puddles
Hello!
How are you feeling?
I'm fine
Do you live in this house?
No, I live in the garden
I'm Chua, the garden rat
It's my sister who lives in the house
I'll stay here
And see everything for myself
I won't let him live in the house!
No
Don't hinder their friendship
What happened?
Oh, a terrible misfortune!
Our son fell out of the nest at night
And Nag swallowed him
That's so sad
But I'm new here
I'm not from these parts
Who's Nag?
You're asking who is Nag?
Look and tremble!
Because I am Nag
Do you think
If you have marks on your hood
You have a right to eat fledglings?
Let us talk, kid
Don't you eat what suits your taste
Then why can't I snack on a fledgling?
Look behind you!
Bite her, the white-toothed!
Hurrah! Hurrah!
I'll still get you!
It's high time I remembered everything
my father had taught me
Attaboy, Rikki!
You fought bravely!
I only bit her!
Rikki-Tikki!
Where have you been the whole day?
What's wrong with him?
He's been running all day and got tired
No
Something is worrying him
Who's there?
It's me, Chuchundra
Oh, don't hurt me, Rikki-Tikki!
Would he who fights snakes
Bother with a musk-rat?
I'm so miserable!
I am even too afraid
To run to the middle of the room
And who knows
If Nag would kill me by mistake
He would think that I am you!
Ha! You've found what to be afraid of!
Nag is in the garden
And you don't even go there
And what do you know about Nag?
I? I don't know anything
But Chua told me
That Nag, you see, he is everywhere!
Shh!
Don't you hear, Rikki?
Bite the big human
And come back
Together we will kill the mongoose
But do we benefit
From killing the humans?
Of course!
Remember when the house was empty
Were there any mongooses around here?
And our kids...
When they hatch
They will need peace
I didn't even think of that
If I attack now
Nagina will hear
Together they will defeat me
Marvelloussss
Nagina
In the morning the big human
will come here to wash his face
I will wait for him here
where it's cooler
... until dawn
Do you hear me?
Nagina didn't answer
She's left!
Look here, Junia
This is our mongoose!
Poor thing
He saved all of us from death
Is that you, Chuchundra?
You're alive, Rikki!
I've come to cry over your battered body
Go cry over Nag instead
At night I caught him by the scruff
Listen, Chuchundra!
The snakes were talking about eggs
Do you know where they are hidden?
Nah... You're no help
Rejoice, oh tender mother!
In battle the killer is killed
Sing o'er your fledglings again
The foe is buried away
He who has saved all of us
Do reveal his name!
Rikki - the sparkling eye
Rikki - the valiant boy
Oh, you silly clump of feathers!
Is it really the time for song?
He's dead!
Nag is dead!
Yes!
But Nagina is alive!
If only I could reach your nest
I'd give you a good whopping!
Answer!
Where's Nagina?
Oh, wonderful hero!
She's at the trash heap crying over Nag
Oh great white-toothed Rikki!
Leave my teeth alone!
Tell me clearly
Where are the snake eggs hidden?
I! I know!
Nagina buried them
Under the fence at the melon patch
Don't rush!
It's near the trash heap
And Nagina's there!
Listen, Darzee
Fly there
And pretend to have broken your wing
Let Nagina chase you!
But Rikki
Is it noble to destroy eggs?
Baby birds come out of them!
You are so silly!
Only evil cobras come out of cobra eggs!
So it's you who warned the mongoose
That I want to bite him
You've chosen the wrong place to limp around
I've broken my wing!
You shall die now!
Where are you going?
Look at me!
Don't look behind!
She'll swallow you!
Fly!
Fly away!
Another day
And it would be too late!
Death to cobras!
Rikki!
Hurry up!
Nagina is crawling to the house
She is set on murder!
Sit and don't move!
You stupid humans who killed Nag!
Death has come to you
Nagina!
Turn to me!
Turn around!
Let us fight!
If you make a single step
I will bite the boy!
Go to the melon-beds
See what happened to your babies
This is the last cobra
The princess cobra!
Give it back!
What's the ransom?
I shall leave...
... this place
And I shall never return
You won't return because
You'll soon be lying
On the trash heap!
It was me who killed Nag!
Come out, Nagina!
And fight with me!
Rikki-Tikki is done for!
Yes!
She's got a wide burrow there
I'd know!
That's it
Everything is done
Nagina...
Will never come out...
... from there
Look!
He's alive!
Our Rikki!
What's the news, sister?
Rejoice, rejoice!
We defeated the snakes!
Calm down!
The snakes have been killed
And if they crawl back...
Well, I am here!
