Shrek
{Man} Once upon a time there was a lovely princess. But she had an enchantment upon her of a fearful sort which could only be broken by love's first kiss. She was locked away in a castle guarded by a terrible firebreathing dragon. Many brave knigts had attempted to free her from this dreadful prison, but non prevailed. She waited in the dragon's keep in the highest room of the tallest tower for her true love and true love's first kiss. {Laughing} Like that's ever gonna happen. {Paper Rusting, Toilet Flushes} What a load of Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed She was lookin' kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb In the shape of an "L" on her forehead The years start comin' and they don't stop comin' Fed to the rules and hit the ground runnin' Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do so much to see So what's wrong with takin' the backstreets You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow Hey, now You're an allstar Get your game on, go play Hey, now You're a rock star Get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shootin' stars break the mold It's a cool place and they say it gets colder You're bundled up now but wait till you get older But the meteor men beg to differ Judging by the hole in the satellite picture The ice we skate is gettin' pretty thin The water's getting warm so you might as well swim My world's on fire How 'bout yours That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored Hey, now, you're an allstar {Shouting} Get your game on, go play Hey, now You're a rock star Get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shootin' stars break the mold {Belches} Go!

That's 20 pieces of silver for the witch. Next! Get up! Come on! Twenty pieces. {Thudding} Sit down there! Keep quiet! {Crying} This cage is too small. Please, don't turn me in. I'll never be stubborn again. I can change. Please! Give me another chance! Oh, shut up. Oh! Next! What have you got? This little wooden puppet. I'm not a puppet. I'm a real boy. Five shillings for the possessed toy. Take it away. Father, please! Don't let them do this! Help me! Next! What have you got? Well, I've got a talking donkey. {Grunts} Right. Well, that's good for ten shillings, if you can prove it. Oh, go ahead, little fella. Well? Oh, oh, he's just He's just a little nervous. He's really quite a chatterbox. Talk, you boneheaded dolt That's it. I've heard enough. Guards! No, no, he talks! He does. I can talk. I love to talk. I'm the talkingest damn thing you ever saw. Get her out of my sight. No, no! I swear! Oh! He can talk! {Gasps} Hey! I can fly! He can fly! He can fly! He can talk! Ha, ha! That's right, fool! Now I'm a flying, talking donkey. You might have seen a housefly, maybe even a superfly but I bet you ain't never seen a donkey fly. Ha, ha! Ohoh. {Grunts} Seize him! After him! He's getting away! {Grunts, Gasps} {Man} Get him! This way! Turn! You there. Orge! Aye? By the order of Lord Farquaad I am authorized to place you both under arrest and transport you to a designated..... resettlement facility. Oh, really? You and what army? {Gasps, Whimpering} {Chuckles} Can I say something to you? Listen, you was really, really, really somethin' back here. Incredible! Are you talkin' to me? Whoa! Yes. I was talkin' to you. Can I tell you that you that you was great back here? Those guards! They thought they was all of that. Then you showed up, and bam! They was trippin' over themselves like babes in the woods. That really made me feel good to see that. Oh, that's great. Really. Man, it's good to be free. Now, why don't you go celebrate your freedom with your own friends? Hmm? But, uh, I don't have any friends. And I'm not goin' out there by myself. Hey, wait a minute! I got a great idea! I'll stick with you. You're mean, green, fightin' machine. Together we'll scare the spit out of anybody that crosses us. {Roaring} Oh, wow! That was really scary. If you don't mind me sayin', if that don't work, your breath certainly will get the job done, 'cause you definitely need some Tic Tacs or something, 'cause you breath stinks! You almost burned the hair outta my nose, just like the time {Mumbling} Than I ate some rotten berries. I had strong gases eking out of my butt that day. Why are you following me? I'll tell you why. 'Cause I'm all alone There's no one here beside me My promlems have all gone There's no one to deride me But you gotta heve friends Stop singing! It's no wonder you don't have any friends. Wow. Only a true friend would be that cruelly honest. Listen, little donkey. Take a look at me. What am I? Uh Really tall? No! I'm an orge! You know. "Grab your torch and pitchforks." Doesn't that bother you? Nope. Really? Really, really. Oh. Man, I like you. What's you name? Uh, Shrek. Shrek? Well, you know what I like about you, Shrek? You got that kind of Idon'tcarewhatnobodythinksofme thing. I like that. I respect that, Shrek. You all right. Whoo! Look at that. Who'd want to live in place like that? That would be my home. Oh! And it is lovely! Just beautiful. You know you are quite a decorator. It's amazing what you've done with such a modest budget. I like that boulder. That is a nice boulder. I guess you don't entertain much, do you? I like my privacy. You know, I do too. That's another thing we have in common. Like I hate it when you got somebody in your face. You've trying to give them a hint, and they won't leave. There's that awkward silence. Can I stay with you? Uh, what? Can I stay with you, please? Of course! Really? No. Please! I don't wanna go back there! You don't know what it's like to be considered a freak. Well, maybe you do. But that's why we gotta stick together. You gotta let me stay! Please! Please! Okay! Okay! But one night only. Ah! Thank you! What are you No! No! This is gonna be fun! We can stay up late, swappin' manly stories, and in the mornin' I'm makin' waffles. Oh! Where do, uh, I ? Outside! Oh, well. I guess that's cool. I mean, I don't know you, and you don't know me, so I guess outside is best, you know. {Sniffles} Here I go. Good night. {Sighs} I mean, I do like the outdoors. I'm a donkey. I was born outside. I'll just be sitting by myself outside, I guess, you know. By myself, outside. I'm all alone There's no one here beside me {Bubbling} {Sighs} {Creaking} {Sighs} I thought I told you to stay outside. I'm outside. {Clattering} Well, gents, it's a far cry from the farm, but what choice do we have? It's not home, but it'll do just fune. What a lovely bed. Got ya. {Sniffs} I found some cheese. Ow! {Grunts} Blah! Awful stuff. Is that you, Gorder? How did you know? Enough! What are you doing in my house? {Grunts} Hey! {Snickers} Oh, no, no, no. Dead broad off the table.

I can't wait to get on the road again. What did I say about singing? Can I whistle? No. Can I hum it? All right, hum it. {Humming} {Grunts} {Whimpering} That's enough.

Just kiss her dead, frozen lips and find out what a live wire she is. Come on. Give it up for Snow White! And last, but certainly not last, bachelorette number three is a fiery redhead from a dragonguarded castle surrounded by hot boiling lava! But don't let that cool you off.

People of DuLoc, I give you our champion! What? Congratulations, orge. You're won the honor of embarking on a great and noble quest. Quest? I'm already in a quest, a quest to get my swamp back. Your swamp? Yeah, my swamp! Where you dumped those tale creatures! {Crowd murmuring} Indeed. All right, orge. I'll make you a deal. Go on this quest for me, and I'll give you your swamp back. Exactly the way it was? Down to the last slimecovered toadstool. And the squatters? As good as gone. What kind of quest? Let me get this straight. You're gonna go fight a dragon and rescue a princess just so Farquaad will give you back a swamp which you only don't have because he filled it full of freaks in the first place. Is that about right? Maybe there's a good reason donkeys shouldn't talk. I don't get it. Why don't you just pull some of that orge stuff on him? Throttle him, lay siege to his fortress, grinds his bones to make your bread, the whole orge trip. Oh, I know what. Maybe I could have an entire village and put their heads on a pike, gotten a knife, cut open their spleen and drink their fluids. Does that sound good to you? Uh, no, not really, no. For your information, there's a lot more to orges than people think. Example? Example? Okay, um, orges are like onions. {Sniffs} They stink? Yes No! They make you cry? No! You leave them in the sun, they get all brown, start sproutin' little white hairs. No! Layers! Onions have layers. Orges have layers! Onions have layers. You get it? We both have layers. {Sighs} Oh, you both have layers. Oh. {Sniffs} You know, not everybody likes onions. Cake! Everybody loves cakes! Cakes have layers. I don't care... what everyone likes. Orges are not like cakes. You know what else everybody likes? Parfaits. Have you ever met a person, you say, "Let's get some parfait," they say, "No, I don't like no parfait"? Parfaits are delicious. No! You dense, irritating, miniature beast of burden! Orges are like onions! And of story. Byebye. See ya later. Parfaits may be the most delicious thing on the whole damn planet. You know, I think I preferred your humming. Do you have a tissure or something? I'm making a mess. Just the word parfait make me start slobbering. I'm on my way from misery to happiness today Uhhuh,uhhuh, uhhuh, uhhuh I'm on my way from misery to happiness today Uhhuh,uhhuh, uhhuh, uhhuh And everything that you receive up yonder Is what you give to me the day I wander I'm on my way I'm on my way I'm on my way Ohh! Shrek! Did you do that? You gotta warn somebody before you just crack one off. My mouth was open. Believe me, Donkey, if it was me, you'd be dead. {Sniffs} It's brimstone We must be getting close. Yeah, right, brimstone. Don't be talking about it's the brimstone. I know what I smell. It wasn't no brimstone. It didn't come off no stone neither. {Rumbling} Sure, it's big enough, but look at the location. {Laughing} Uh, Shrek? Uh, remember when you said orges have layers? Oh, aye. Well, I ha
