Directors: Andrew Adamson, Vicky Jenson
Writers: William Steig, Ted Elliott, Terry Rossio
Stars: Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz
Plot: When a green ogre named Shrek discovers his swamp has been ‘swamped’ with all sorts of fairytale creatures by the scheming Lord Farquaad, Shrek sets out with a very loud donkey by his side to ‘persuade’ Farquaad to give Shrek his swamp back. Instead, a deal is made. Farquaad, who wants to become the King, sends Shrek to rescue Princess Fiona, who is awaiting her true love in a tower guarded by a fire-breathing dragon. But once they head back with Fiona, it starts to become apparent that not only does Shrek, an ugly ogre, begin to fall in love with the lovely princess, but Fiona is also hiding a huge secret.
* * *
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 fire-breathing dragon.
Many brave knights had attempted to free her from this dreadful prison, but none 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 Rustling, Toilet Flushes]
What a load of–
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I am not the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an L on her forehead
The years start coming and they don’t stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
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 taking 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 all-star
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 shooting stars break the mould
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 getting 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 all-star
[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 shooting stars break the mould
[Belches]
Go!
Go!
[Record Scratching]
Go. Go. Go.
Hey, now You’re an all-star
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 shooting stars break the mould
Think it’s in there?
AI right. Let’s get it!
Whoa. Ho Id on. Do you know what that thing can do to you?
Yeah, it’ll grind your bones for its bread.
[Laughs] Yes, well, actually, that would be a giant.
Now, ogres-They’re much worse.
They’ll make a suit from your freshly peeled skin.
No!
They’ll shave your liver.
Squeeze the jelly from your eyes!
Actually, it’s quite good on toast.
Back! Back, beast!
Back! I warn ya!
[Gasping]
Right.
[Roaring]
[Shouting]
[Roaring]
[Roaring Continues]
[Shouting Continues]
[Whispers] This is the part where you run away.
[Gasping]
[Laughs]
[Laughing]
And stay out!
Wanted. Fairy tale creatures.
[Sighs]
[Man’s Voice] All right. This one’s full.
Take it away!
[Gasps]
Move it along. Come on! Get up!
Next!
Give me that! Your flying days are over.
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 bone headed 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 house fly, maybe even a super fly,
but I bet you are not never seen a donkey fly.
Ha, ha!
Uh-oh.
[Grunts]
Seize him!
After him! He’s getting away!
[Grunts, Gasps]
[Man] Get him! This way! Turn!
You there. Ogre!
Aye?
By the order of Lord Farquaad, I am authorised 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 something back there. Incredible!
Are you talking to-me? Whoa!
Yes, I was talking to you. Can I tell you that you was great back there? Those guards!
They thought they was all of that. Then you showed up, and bam!
They was tripping 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 going out there by myself.
Hey, wait a minute! I got a great idea! I’ll stick with you.
You’re a mean, green, fighting 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 saying, if that don’t work, your breath certainly will get the job done, ’cause you definitely need some Tic Tacs or something, ’cause your breath stinks!
You almost burned the hair outta my nose, just like the time-[Mumbling]
Then 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 problems have all gone
There’s no one to deride me
But you gotta have friends–
Stop singing!
It’s no wonder you don’t have any friends.
Wow. Only a true friend would be that truly honest.
Listen, little donkey. Take a look at me. What am I?
Uh–
Really tall?
No! I’m an ogre.
You know. Grab your torch and pitchforks.
Doesn’t that bother you?
Nope.
Really?
Really, really.
Oh.
Man, I like you. What’s your name?
Uh, Shrek.
Shrek? Well, you know what I like about you, Shrek?
You got that kind of I-don’t-care-what-nobodythinks-of-me thing.
I like that. I respect that, Shrek. You all right.
Whoo! Look at that. Who’d want to live in a place like that?
That would be my home.
Oh! And it is lovely! Just beautiful.
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’re 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, swapping manly stories,
and in the morning I’m making waffles.
Oh!
Where do, uh, I sleep?
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 am outside.
[Clattering]
[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 fine.
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.
Where are we supposed to put her? The bed’s taken.
Huh? [Gasps]
[Male Voice] What?
I live in a swamp. I put up signs. I’m a terrifying ogre!
What do I have to do to get a little privacy?
Aah!
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
No! No!
[Cackling]
[Cackling Continues]
What?
Quit it.
Don’t push.
[Squeaking]
[Lows]
What are you doing in my swamp?
[Echoing] Swamp! Swamp! Swamp!
[Gasping]
Oh, dear!
Whoa!
All right, get out of here. All of you, move it!
Come on! Let’s go! Hapaya! Hapaya! Hey!
Quickly. Come on!
No, no!
No, no. Not there. Not there.
Oh!
[Sighs]
Hey, don’t look at me. I didn’t invite them.
Oh, gosh, no one invited us.
What?
We were forced to come here.
By who?
Lord Farquaad.
He huffed und he puffed und he… signed an eviction notice.
[Sighs] All right.
Who knows where this Farquaad guy is?
[Murmuring]
Oh, I do. I know where he is.
Does anyone else know where to find him?
Any one at all?
Me! Me!
Anyone?
Oh! Oh, pick me!
Oh, I know! I know! Me, me!
[Sighs] Okay, fine.
Attention, all fairy tale things.
Do not get comfortable. Your welcome is officially worn out.
In fact, I’m gonna see this guy Farquaad right now…
and get you all off my land and back where you came from!
[Cheering]
[Twittering]
[Cheering Continues]
Oh! You!
You’re coming with me.
All right, that’s what I like to hear, man.
Shrek and Donkey, two stalwart friends, off on a whirlwind big-city adventure.
I love it!
On the road again Sing it with me, Shrek.
Hey. Oh, oh!
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. He’s ready to talk.
[Coughing]
[Laughing]
[Clears Throat]
Run, run, run, as fast as you can.
You can’t catch me. I’m the gingerbread man!
You’re a monster.
I’m not the monster here. You are.
You and the rest of that fairy tale trash, poisoning my perfect world.
Now, tell me! Where are the others?
Eat me!
[Grunts]
I’ve tried to be fair to you creatures.
Now my patience has reached its end! Tell me or I’ll–
No, no, not the buttons. Not my gumdrop buttons.
All right then. Who’s hiding them?
Okay, I’ll tell you. Do you know the muffin man?
The muffin man?
The muffin man.
Yes, I know the muffin man, who lives on Drury Lane?
Well, she’s married to the muffin man.
The muffin man?
The muffin man!
She’s married to the muffin man.
[Door Opens]
My Lord! We found it.
Then what are you waiting for? Bring it in.
[Man Grunting]
[Gasping]
Oh!
Magic mirror–
Don’t tell him anything!
No!
[Gingerbread Man Whimpers]
Evening.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall.
Is this not the most perfect kingdom of them all?
Well, technically you’re not a king.
Uh, Thelonius.
You were saying?
What I mean is, you’re not a king yet.
But you can become one. All you have to do is marry a princess.
Go on.
[Chuckles]
So,just sit back and relax, my Lord,
because it’s time for you to meet today’s eligible bachelorettes.
And here they are!
Bachelorette number one is a mentally abused shut-in from a kingdom far, faraway.
She likes sushi and hot tubbing anytime.
Her hobbies include cooking and cleaning for her two evil sisters.
Please welcome Cinderella.
Bachelorette number two is a cape-wearing girl from the land of fancy.
Although she lives with seven other men, she’s not easy.
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 least,
bachelorette number three is a fiery redhead…
from a dragon-guarded castle surrounded by hot boiling lava!
But don’t let that cool you off.
She’s a loaded pistol who likes pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.
Yours for the rescuing, Princess Fiona!
So will it be bachelorette number one,
bachelorette number two or bachelorette number three?
Two! Two!
Three! Three!
Two! Two!
Three!
Three? One? [Shudders] Three?
Three! Pick number three, my Lord!
Okay, okay, uh, number three!
Lord Farquaad, you’ve chosen Princess Fiona.
If you love pina coladas
And getting caught in the rain
Princess Fiona.
If you’re not into yoga
She’s perfect.
All I have to do is just find someone who can go–
But I probably should mention the little thing that happens at night.
I’ll do it.
Yes, but after sunset–
Silence! I will make this Princess Fiona my queen,
and DuLoc will finally have the perfect king!
Captain, assemble your finest men.
We’re going to have a tournament.
But that’s it. That’s it right there. That’s DuLoc.
I told ya I’d find it.
So, that must be Lord Farquaad’s castle.
[Donkey] Uh-huh. That’s the place.
Do you think maybe he’s compensating for something?
[Laughs]
[Groans]
Hey, wait. Wait up, Shrek.
Hurry, darling. We’re late. Hurry.
Hey, you!
[Screams]
Wait a second. Look, I’m not gonna eat ya.
I just-I just–
[Whimpering]
[Sighs]
[Whimpering, Groans]
[Turnstile Clatters]
[Chuckles]
[Sighs]
[Instrumental Muzak]
It’s quiet.
Too quiet.
[Creaking]
Where is everybody?
Hey, look at this!
[Clattering, Whirring, Clicking]
[Clicking]
[Clicking Quickens]
Welcome to DuLoc such a perfect town
Here we have some rules Let us lay them down
Don’t make waves, stay in line and we’ll get along fine
DuLoc is a perfect place
Please keep off of the grass Shine your shoes, wipe your… face
DuLoc is, DuLoc is
DuLoc is a perfect
Place
[Camera Shutter Clicks]
[Whirring]
Wow! Let’s do that again!
No. No. No, no, no! No.
[Trumpet Fanfare]
[Crowd Cheering]
[Farquaad] Brave knights.
You are the best and brightest in all the land.
[Donkey Humming]
Today one of you shall prove himself–
All right. You’re going the right way for a smacked bottom.
Sorry about that.
[Cheering]
That champion shall have the honour-no, no-the privilege…
to go forth and rescue the lovely Princess Fiona…
from the fiery keep oft he dragon.
If for any reason the winner is unsuccessful,
the first runner-up will take his place…
and so on and so forth.
Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make.
[Cheering]
Let the tournament begin!
[Gasps]
Oh!
What is that?
[Gasping]
It’s hideous!
Ah, that’s not very nice.
It’s just a donkey.
Huh?
Indeed. Knights, new plan!
The one who kills the ogre will be named champion! Have at him!
Get him!
Oh, hey! Now come on! Hang on now.
[Woman] Go ahead! Get him!
Can’t we just settle this over a pint?
[Man] Kill the beast!
No? All right then.
Come on!
I don’t give a damn about my reputation
You’re living in the past It’s a new generation
Damn!
[Whinnying]
A girl can do what she wants to do
And that’s what I’m gonna do
And I don’t give a damn about my bad reputation
Oh, no, no, no, no, no Not me
Me, me, me
Hey, Shrek, tag me! Tag me!
And I don’t give a damn about my reputation
Never said I wanted to improve my station
Ah! [Laughs]
And I’m always feeling good when I’m having fun
Yeah!
And I don’t have to please no one
The chair! Give him the chair!
And I don’t give a damn about my bad reputation
Oh, no, no, no, no, no Not me
Me, me, me
Oh, no, no, no, no
Not me, not me
Not me
[Bell Dings]
[Cheering]
[Laughs]
Oh, yeah! Ah! Ah!
Thank you! Thank you very much!
I’m here till Thursday. Try the veal! Ha, ha!
[Shrek Laughs]
[Crowd Gasping, Murmuring]
Shall I give the order, sir?
No, I have a better idea.
People of DuLoc, I give you our champion!
What?
Congratulations, ogre.
You’ve won the honour of embarking on a great and noble quest.
Quest? I’m already on a quest, a quest to get my swamp back.
Your swamp?
Yeah, my swamp!
Where you dumped those fairy tale creatures!
[Crowd Murmuring]
Indeed.
All right, ogre, 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 slime-covered toad stool.
And the squatters?
As good as gone.
What kind of quest?
[Donkey] 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 ogre stuff on him?
Throttle him, lay siege to his fortress,
grind his bones to make your bread, the whole ogre trip.
Oh, I know what.
Maybe I could have decapitated 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 ogres than people think.
Example?
Example?
Okay, um, ogres are like onions.
[Sniffs] They stink?
Yes-No!
They make you cry?
No!
You leave them out in the sun, they get all brown, start sprouting little white hairs.
No! Layers!
Onions have layers.
Ogres 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.
Ogres 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!
Ogres are like onions! End of story.
Bye-bye. 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 tissue 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
Uh-huh, uh-huh Uh-huh, uh-huh
I’m on my way from misery to happiness today
Uh-huh, uh-huh Uh-huh, uh-huh
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
Ooh! 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 ogres have layers?
Oh, aye.
Well, I have a bit of a confession to make.
Donkeys don’t have layers. We wear our fear right out there on our sleeves.
Wait a second. Donkeys don’t have sleeves.
You know what I mean.
You can’t tell me you’re afraid of heights.
I’m just a little uncomfortable about being on a rickety bridge over a boiling lake of lava!
Come on, Donkey. I’m right here beside ya, okay?
For emotional support,
we’ll just tackle this thing together one little baby step at a time.
Really?
Really, really.
Okay, that makes me feel so much better. -Just keep moving.
And don’t look down.
Okay, don’t look down. Don’t look down.
Don’t look down. Keep on moving. Don’t look down.
[Gasps] Shrek! I’m looking down!
Oh, God, I can’t do this! Just let me off, please!
But you’re already halfway.
But I know that half is safe!
Okay, fine. I don’t have time for this. You go back.
Shrek, no! Wait! -Just, Donkey–
Let’s have a dance then, shall we?
Don’t do that!
Oh, I’m sorry. Do what?
Oh, this?
Yes, that!
Yes? Yes, do it. Okay.
[Screams] No, Shrek!
No! Stop it!
You said do it! I’m doing it.
I’m gonna die. I’m gonna die. Shrek, I’m gonna die.
Oh!
That’ll do, Donkey. That’ll do.
Cool.
[Donkey] So where is this fire-breathing pain-in-the-neck anyway?
Inside, waiting for us to rescue her.
[Chuckles] I was talking about the dragon, Shrek.
[Water Dripping]
[Wind Howling]
[Donkey Whispering] You afraid?
No, but-Shh.
Oh, good. Me neither. [Gasps]
‘Cause there’s nothing wrong with being afraid.
Fear’s a sensible response to an unfamiliar situation.
Unfamiliar dangerous situation, I might add.
With a dragon that breathes fire and eats knights and breathes fire,
it sure doesn’t mean you’re a coward if you’re a little scared.
I sure as heck am not a coward. I know that. [Gasps]
Donkey, two things, okay?
Shut… up.
Now go over there and see if you can find any stairs.
Stairs? I thought we was looking for the princess.
The princess will be up the stairs in the highest room in the tallest tower.
What makes you think she’ll be there?
I read it in a book once.
Cool. You handle the dragon. I’ll handle the stairs.
I’ll find those stairs. I’ll whip their butt too.
Those stairs won’t know which way they’re going.
[Creaking]
I’m gonna take drastic steps.
Kick it to the kerb. Don’t mess with me. I’m the stair master.
I’ve mastered the stairs. I wish I had a step right here. I’d step all over it.
Well, at least we know where the princess is, but where’s the–
Dragon! [Screams]
[Gasps]
[Roars]
Donkey, look out! [Screams]
[Screams]
[Whimpering]
Got ya!
[Roars]
[Gasps]
[Shouts] Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
[Screaming]
[Gasps]
Oh! Aah! Aah!
[Gasping]
[Growls]
No. Oh, no. No! [Screams]
Oh, what large teeth you have.
[Growls]
I mean, white, sparkling teeth. I know you probably hear this all the time from your food,
but you must bleach, ’cause that is one dazzling smile you got there.
Do I detect a hint of minty freshness?
And you know what else? You’re-You’re a girl dragon!
Oh, sure! I mean, of course you’re a girl dragon.
You’re just reeking of feminine beauty.
What’s the matter with you? You got something in your eye?
Ooh. Oh. Oh.
Man, I’d really love to stay, but, you know, I’m, uh-[Coughs]
I’m an asthmatic, and I don’t know if it’d work out if you’re gonna blow smoke rings.
Shrek! [Gasps]
[Whimpering] No! Shrek! Shrek!
Shrek!
[Groans, Sighs]
[Chorus Vocalising]
[Vocalising Continues]
[Vocalising Continues]
Oh! Oh!
Wake up!
What?
Are you Princess Fiona?
I am, awaiting a knight so bold as to rescue me.
Oh, that’s nice. Now let’s go!
But wait, Sir Knight.
This be-ith our first meeting.
Should it not be a wonderful, romantic moment?
Yeah, sorry, lady. There’s no time.
Hey, wait. What are you doing?
You should sweep me off my feet…
out yonder window and down a rope on to your valiant steed.
You’ve had a lot of time to plan this, haven’t you?
Mm-hmm. [Screams, Grunts]
But we have to savour this moment!
You could recite an epic poem for me.
A ballad? A sonnet!
A Limerick? Or something!
I don’t think so.
Can I at least know the name of my champion?
Um, Shrek.
Sir Shrek. [Clears Throat]
I pray that you take this favour as a token of my gratitude.
Thanks!
[Roaring]
You didn’t slay the dragon?
It’s on my to-do list. Now come on!
[Screams]
But this isn’t right!
You were meant to charge in, sword drawn, banner flying.
That’s what all the other knights did.
Yeah, right before they burst into flame.
That’s not the point. Oh!
Wait. Where are you going? The exit’s over there.
Well, I have to save my ass.
What kind of knight are you?
One of a kind.
[Donkey] Slowdown. Slowdown, baby, please.
I believe it’s healthy to get to know someone over a long period of time.
Just call me old-fashioned. [Laughs]
I don’t want to rush into a physical relationship.
I’m not emotionally ready for a commitment of, uh, this–
Magnitude really is the word I’m looking for.
Magnitude-Hey, that is unwanted physical contact.
Hey, what are you doing?
Okay, okay. Let’s just backup a little and take this one step a ta time.
We really should get to know each other first as friends or pen pals.
I’m on theroada lot, but I just love receiving cards–
I’d really love to stay, but–
Don’t do that! That’s my tail! That’s my personal tail.
You’re gonna tear it off. I don’t give permission-What are you gonna do with that?
Hey, now. No way. No! No!
No, no! No. No, no, no! No! Oh!
[Growls]
[Roars]
[Roaring]
[Gasps]
Hi, Princess!
It talks!
Yeah, it’s getting him to shut up that’s the trick.
[Screams]
[Screaming]
Oh!
[Thuds]
[Groans]
[Shrek Groans]
[Roars]
[Roars]
[Roaring]
[Roars]
Okay, you two, head for the exit!
I’ll take care of the dragon.
[Echoing] Run!
[Gasping]
[Screaming]
[Roaring]
[Screams]
[Roars]
[Panting, Sighs]
[Whimpers]
[Roars]
[Roars, Whimpers]
[Dragon Growling In The Distance]
You did it!
You rescued me! You’re amazing. You’re–
You’re wonderful. You’re…
a little unorthodox I’ll admit.
But thy deed is great, and thine heart is pure.
I am eternally in your debt.
[Clears Throat]
And where would a brave knight be without his noble steed?
I hope you heard that. She called me a noble steed. She think I’m a steed.
[Fiona Laughs] The battle is won.
You may remove your helmet, good Sir Knight.
Uh, no.
Why not?
I have helmet hair.
Please. I would’st look upon the face of my rescuer.
No, no, you wouldn’t-‘st.
But how will you kiss me?
What? That wasn’t in the job description.
Maybe it’s a perk.
No, it’s destiny. Oh, you must know how it goes.
A princess locked in a tower and beset by a dragon…
is rescued by a brave knight,
and then they share true love’s first kiss.
Hmm? With Shrek? You think-Wait.
Wait. You think that Shrek is your true love?
Well, yes.
[Laughing]
[Laughing]
You think Shrek is your true love!
What is so funny?
Let’s just say I’m not your type, okay?
Of course, you are. You’re my rescuer.
Now-Now remove your helmet.
Look. I really don’t think this is a good idea.
-Just take off the helmet.
I’m not going to.
Take it off.
No!
Now!
Okay!
Easy. As you command, Your Highness.
You-You’re a-an ogre.
Oh, you were expecting Prince Charming.
Well, yes, actually.
Oh, no. This is all wrong.
You’re not supposed to be an ogre.
[Sighs] Princess, I was sent to rescue you by Lord Farquaad, okay?
He’s the one who wants to marry you.
Then why didn’t he come rescue me?
Good question. You should ask him that when we get there.
But I have to be rescued by my true love,
not by some ogre and his-his pet.
So much for noble steed.
You’re not making my job any easier.
I’m sorry, but your job is not my problem.
You can tell Lord Farquaad that if he wants to rescue me properly,
I’ll be waiting for him right here.
Hey! I’m no one’s messenger boy, all right? I’m a delivery boy.
You wouldn’t dare.
Put me down!
Ya coming, Donkey?
I’m right behind ya.
Put me down, or you will suffer the consequences!
This is not dignified! Put me down! [Screams]
Okay, so here’s another question.
Say there’s a woman that digs you, right, but you don’t really like her that way.
How do you let her down real easy so her feelings aren’t hurt,
but you don’t get burned to a crisp and eaten?
You just tell her she’s not your true love.
Everyone knowest what happens when you find your–
Hey! [Sighs]
The sooner we get to DuLoc the better.
You’re gonna love it there, Princess. It’s beautiful!
And what of my groom-to-be? Lord Farquaad? What’s he like?
Let me put it this way, Princess.
Men of Farquaad’s stature are in short supply.
[Laughs]
I don’t know. There are those who think little of him.
[Both Laughing]
Stop it. Stop it, both of you.
You’re just jealous you can never measure up to a great ruler like Lord Farquaad.
Yeah, well, maybe you’re right, Princess.
But I’ll let you do the measuring when you see him tomorrow.
Tomorrow? It’ll take that Ion?
Shouldn’t we stop to make camp?
No, that’ll take longer.
We can keep going.
But there’s robbers in the woods.
Whoa! Time out, Shrek! Camping is starting to sound good.
Hey, come on. I’m scarier than anything we’re going to see in this forest.
I need to find somewhere to camp now!
[Bird Wings Fluttering]
[Grunting]
Hey! Over here.
Shrek, we can do better than that.
I don’t think this is fit for a princess.
No, no, it’s perfect. It just needs a few homey touches.
Homey touches? Like what?
[Crashing]
A door? Well, gentlemen, I bid thee good night.
You want me to read you a bedtime story? I will.
I said good night!
Shrek, what are you doing?
[Laughs] I just-You know-Oh, come on.
I was just kidding.
[Fire Crackling]
And, uh, that one, that’s Throwback,
the only ogre to ever spit over three wheat fields.
Right. Yeah.
Hey, can you tell my future from these stars?
The stars don’t tell the future, Donkey. They tell stories.
Look, there’s BITNET, the Fitment.
You can guess what he’s famous for.
I know you’re making this up.
No, look. There he is,
and there’s the group of hunters running away from his stench.
That is nothing but a bunch of little dots.
Sometimes things are more than they appear.
Hmm?
Forget it.
[Sighs]
Hey, Shrek, what we gonna do when we get our swamp anyway?
Our swamp?
You know, when we’re through rescuing the princess.
We? Donkey, there’s no we. There’s no our.
There’s just me and my swamp.
The first thing I’m gonna do is build a ten-foot wall around my land.
You cut me deep, Shrek.
You cut me real deep just now.
You know what I think?
I think this whole wall thing is just a way to keep somebody out.
No, do ya think?
Are you hiding something?
Never mind, Donkey.
Oh, this is another one of those onion things, isn’t it?
No, this is one of those drop-it and leave-it-alone things.
Why don’t you want to talk about it?
Why do you want to?
Why are you blocking?
I’m not blocking.
Oh, yes, you are.
Donkey, I’m warning you.
Who you trying to keep out?
Everyone! Okay?
Oh, now we’re getting somewhere.
Oh! For the love of Pete!
What’s your problem? What you got against the whole world?
I’m not the one with the problem, okay?
It’s the world that seems to have a problem with me.
People take one look at me and go, Aah! Help! Run!
A big, stupid, ugly ogre!
[Sighs] They judge me before they even know me.
That’s why I’m better off alone.
You know what?
When we met, I didn’t think you was just a big, stupid, ugly ogre.
Yeah, I know.
So, uh, are there any donkeys up there?
Well, there’s, um, Gabby,
the Small and Annoying.
Okay, I see it now. The big shiny one, right there. That one there?
That’s the moon.
Oh, okay.
[Orchestra]
[Dulcimer]
[Farquaad] Again. Show me again.
[Music Stops, Rewinds]
Mirror, mirror, show her to me. Show me the princess.
Hmph.
[Rewinds, Resumes]
Ah. Perfect. [Inhales]
[Snoring]
[Vocalising]
[Vocalising Continues]
[Whistling]
[Whistling Continues]

[Sizzling]
[Sniffs, Yawns]
Mmm, yeah, you know I like it like that.
Come on, baby. I said I like it.
Donkey, wake up.
Huh? What?
Wake up.
What?
Good morning.
How do you like your eggs?
Good morning, Princess!
What’s all this about?
We kind of got off to a bad start yesterday.
I wanted to make it up to you.
After all, you did rescue me.
Uh, thanks.
[Sniffs]
Well, eat up. We’ve got a big day ahead of us.
[Belches]
Shrek!
What? It’s a compliment.
Better out than in, I always say. [Laughs]
Well, it’s no way to behave in front of a princess.
[Belches]
Thanks.
She’s as nasty as you are.
[Laughs] You know, you’re not exactly what I expected.
Maybe you shouldn’t judge people before you get to know them.
[Vocalising]
[Man] La Liberte! Hey!
Princess!
[Laughs]
What are you doing?
Be still, Mon Cherie, for I am your saviour!
And I am rescuing you from this green-[Kissing Sounds]
beast.
Hey!
That’s my princess! Go find your own!
Please, monster! Can’t you see I’m a little busy here?
Look, pal, I don’t know who you think you are!
Oh! Of course! Oh, how rude.
Please let me introduce myself.
Oh, Merry Men! [Laughs]
[Accordion]
Ta, dah, dah, dah, whoo
I steal from the rich and give to the needy
He takes a wee percentage
But I’m not greedy
I rescue pretty damsels Man, I’m good
What a guy, Monsieur Hood
Break it down.
I like an honest fight and a saucy little maid
What he’s basically saying is he likes to get–
Paid
So
When an ogre in the bush grabs a lady by the tush
That’s bad
That’s bad
When a beauty’s with a beast it makes me awfully mad
He’s mad He’s really, really mad
I’ll take my blade and ram it through your heart
Keep your eyes on me, boys ’cause I’m about to start
[Grunts, Groans]
[Karate Yell]
[Merry Men Gasping]
[Panting] Man, that was annoying!
Oh, you little–
[Karate Yell]
[Accordion]
[Shouting, Groaning]
[Groaning]
[Chuckles] Um, shall we?
Ho Id the phone.
[Grunts]
Oh! Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on now.
Where did that come from?
What?
That! Back there. That was amazing!
Where did you learn that?
Well-[Chuckles] When one lives alone,
uh, one has to learn these things in case there’s a–
There’s an arrow in your butt!
What?
Oh, would you look at that?
Oh, no. This is all my fault.
I’m so sorry.
Why? What’s wrong?
Shrek’s hurt.
Shrek’s hurt. Shrek’s hurt? Oh, no, Shrek’s gonna die.
Donkey, I’m okay.
You can’t do this to me. I’m too young for you to die.
Keep your legs elevated. Turn your head and cough.
Does anyone know the Heimlich?
Donkey! Calm down.
If you want to help Shrek, run into the woods and find me a blue flower with red thorns.
Blue flower, red thorns. Okay, I’m on it. Blue flower, red thorns.
Don’t die, Shrek. If you see a long tunnel, stay away from the light!
[Both] Donkey!
Oh, yeah. Right. Blue flower, red thorns.
Blue flower, red thorns.
What are the flowers for?
For getting rid of Donkey.
Ah.
Now you hold still, and I’ll yank this thing out.
Ow! Hey! Easy with the yanking.
I’m sorry, but it has to come out.
No, it’s tender.
Now, hold on.
What you’re doing is the opposite of help.
Don’t move.
Look, time out.
Would you–
[Grunts] Okay. What do you propose we do?
Blue flower, red thorns. Blue flower, red thorns. Blue flower, red thorns.
This would be so much easier if I wasn’t colour-blind!
Blue flower, red thorns.
[Shrek] Ow!
Ho Id on, Shrek! I’m coming!
Ow! Not good.
-Okay. Okay, I can nearly see the head.
[Grunts]
It’s just about–
Ow! Ohh!
Ahem.
Nothing happened. We were just, uh–
Look, if you wanted to be alone, all you had to do was ask.
Oh, come on! That’s the last thing on my mind.
The princess here was just-Ugh!
Ow!
Hey, what’s that?
[Nervous Chuckle] That’s-Is that blood?
[Sighs]
[Bird Chirping]
[Grunts]
My beloved monster and me
We go everywhere together
Wearing a raincoat that has four sleeves
Gets us through all kinds of weather
Aah!
She will always be the only thing
That comes between me and the awful sting
That comes from living in a world that’s so damn mean
[Croaks]
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Hey!
La-la, la-la, la-la-la-la
[Both Laughing]
La-la, la-la, la-la
There it is, Princess.
Your future awaits you.
That’s DuLoc?
Yeah, I know.
You know, Shrek thinks Lord Farquaad’s compensating for something,
which I think means he has a really-Ow!
Um, I, uh–
I guess we better move on.
Sure.
But, Shrek?
I’m-I’m worried about Donkey.
[Blubbering]
What?
I mean, look at him.
He doesn’t look so good.
What are you talking about? I’m fine.
That’s what they always say, and then next thing you know, you’re on your back.
Dead.
You know, she’s right.
You look awful. Do you want to sit down?
I’ll make you some tea.
I didn’t want to say nothing,
but I got this twinge in my neck, and when I turn my head like this, look.
[Bones Crunch]
Ow! See?
-Who’s hungry? I’ll find us some dinner. -I’ll get the firewood.
Hey, where you going? Oh, man, I can’t feel my toes!
I don’t have any toes!
I think I need a hug.
Mmm.
Mmm. This is good. This is really good.
What is this?
Uh, weedrat.
Rotisserie style.
No kidding.
Well, this is delicious.
Well, they’re also great in stews.
Now, I don’t mean to brag, but I make a mean weedrat stew.
[Chuckling]
[Sighs] I guess I’ll be dining a little differently tomorrow night.
[Gulps] Maybe you can come visit me in the swamp sometime.
I’ll cook all kinds of stuff for you.
Swamp toad soup, fish eye tartare-you name it.
[Chuckles] I’d like that.
[Slurps, Laughs]
See the pyramids along the Nile
Um, Princess?
Watch the sun rise from a tropic isle
Yes, Shrek?
I, um, I was wondering.
Just remember, darling all the while
Are you–
You belong to me
[Sighs] Are you gonna eat that?
[Chuckles]
Man, isn’t this romantic? Just look at that sunset.
Sunset?
Oh, no! I mean, it’s late.
I-It’s very late.
What?
Wait a minute. I see what’s going on here.
You’re afraid of the dark, aren’t you?
Yes!
Yes, that’s it. I’m terrified. You know, I’d better go inside.
Don’t feel bad, Princess. I used to be afraid of the dark, too, until–
Hey, no, wait. I’m still afraid of the dark.
[Shrek Sighs]
Good night.
Good night.
[Door Creaks]
[Donkey] Ohh!
Now I really see what’s going on here.
Oh, what are you talking about?
I don’t even wanna hear it. Look, I’m an animal, and I got instincts.
I know you two were digging on each other. I could feel it.
You’re crazy. I’m just bringing her back to Farquaad.
Oh, come on, Shrek. Wake up and smell the pheromones.
-Just go on in and tell her how you feel.
I–
There’s nothing to tell. Besides, even if I did tell her that,
well, you know–
and I’m not saying I do ’cause I don’t–
she’s a princess, and I’m–
An ogre?
Yeah. An ogre.
Hey, where you going?
To get… more firewood.
[Sighs]
Princess?
Princess Fiona?
Princess, where are you?
[Wings Fluttering]
Princess?
[Creaking]
[Gasps]
It’s very spooky in here. I am not playing no games.
[Screams]
Aah!
Oh, no!
No, help!
Shh!
Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!
No, it’s okay. It’s okay.
What did you do with the princess?
Donkey, I’m the princess.
Aah!
It’s me, in this body.
Oh, my God! You ate the princess!
Can you hear me?
Donkey!
Listen, keep breathing! I’ll get you out of there!
No!
Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!
Shh.
Shrek!
This is me.
[Muffled Mumbling]
Princess?
What happened to you? You’re, uh, uh,
uh, different.
I’m ugly, okay?
Well, yeah!
Was it something you ate? ‘Cause I told Shrek those rats was a bad idea.
You are what you eat, I said. Now–
No.
I-I’ve been this way as Ion as I can remember.
What do you mean? Look, I am not never seen you like this before.
It only happens when the sun goes down.
By night one way, by day another.
This shall be the norm…
until you find true love’s first kiss…
and then take love’s true form.
Ah, that’s beautiful. I didn’t know you wrote poetry.
It’s a spell.
[Sighs] When I was a little girl,
a witch cast a spell on me.
Every night I become this.
This horrible, ugly beast!
I was placed in a tower to await the day my true love would rescue me.
That’s why I have to marry Lord Farquaad tomorrow…
before the sun sets and he sees me…
like this. [Sobs]
All right, all right. Calm down. Look, it’s not that bad.
You’re not that ugly. Well, I am not gonna lie. You are ugly.
But you only look like this at night. Shrek’s ugly 24-7.
But, Donkey, I’m a princess,
and this is not how a princess is meant to look.
Princess, how ’bout if you don’t marry Farquaad?
I have to.
Only my true love’s kiss can break the spell.
But, you know, um, you’re kind of an ogre,
and Shrek-well, you got a lot in common.
Shrek?
Princess, I-Uh, how’s it going, first of all?
Good? Um, good for me too.
I’m okay.
I saw this flower and thought of you because it’s pretty and–
well, I don’t really like it, but I thought you might like it ’cause you’re pretty.
But I like you anyway. I’d-uh, uh–
[Sighs]
I’m in trouble. Okay, here we go.
[Fiona] I can’t just marry whoever want.
Take a good look at me, Donkey.
I mean, really,
who could ever love a beast so hideous and ugly?
Princessand ugly don’t go together.
That’s why I can’t stay here with Shrek.
[Gasps]
My only chance to live happily ever after is to marry my truelove.
[Deep Sigh]
Don’t you see, Donkey?
That’s just how it has to be.
It’s the only way to break the spell.
You at least gotta tell Shrek the truth.
No!
You can’t breathe a word. No one must ever know.
What’s the point of being able to talk if you gotta keep secrets?
Promise you won’t tell. Promise!
All right, all right. I won’t tell him. But you should.
I just know before this is over, I’m gonna need a whole lot of serious therapy.
Look at my eye twitching.
[Door Opens]
[Snoring]
[Fiona] I tell him, I tell him not.
I tell him, I tell him not.
I tell him.
Shrek!
Shrek, there’s something I want–
[Snoring]
Shrek.
Are you all right?
Perfect!
Never been better.
I-I don’t-There’s something I have to tell you.
You don’t have to tell me anything, Princess.
I heard enough last night.
You heard what I said?
Every word.
I thought you’d understand.
Oh, I understand.
Like you said, Who could love a hideous, ugly beast?
But I thought that wouldn’t matter to you.
Yeah? Well, it does.
[Gasps, Sighs]
Ah, right on time.
[Horse Whinnies]
Princess, I’ve brought you a little something.
[Fanfare]
[Yawns] What’d I miss? What’d I miss?
[Muffled] Who said that? Couldn’t have been a donkey.
Princess Fiona.
As promised. Now hand it over.
Very well, ogre. The deed to your swamp, cleared out, as agreed.
Take it and go before I change my mind.
Forgive me, Princess, for startling you,
but you startled me,
for I have never seen such a radiant beauty before.
I am Lord Farquaad.
Lord Farquaad? Oh, no, no.
[Snaps Fingers]
Forgive me, my Lord, for I was just saying…
a short… farewell.
That is so sweet. You don’t have to waste good manners on the ogre.
It’s not like it has feelings.
No, you’re right. It doesn’t.
Princess Fiona, beautiful, fair, flawless Fiona.
I ask your hand in marriage.
[Gasps]
Will you be the perfect bride for the perfect groom?
Lord Farquaad, I accept. Nothing would make–
Excellent! I’ll start the plans, for tomorrow we wed!
No! I mean, uh,
why wait?
Let’s get married today before the sun sets.
Oh, anxious, are we? You’re right.
The sooner, the better. There’s so much to do!
There’s the caterer, the cake, the band, the guest list.
Captain, round up some guests!
[Fiona] Fare-thee-well, ogre.
Shrek, what are you doing? You’re letting her get away.
Yeah? So what?
Shrek, there’s something about her you don’t know.
Look, I talked to her last night. She’s–
I know you talked to her last night. You’re great pals, aren’t ya?
Now, if you two are such good friends, why don’t you follow her home?
Shrek, I-I wanna go with you.
I told you, didn’t I? You’re not coming home with me.
I live alone! My swamp! Me! Nobody else!
Understand? Nobody!
Especially useless, pathetic, annoying, talking donkeys!
But I thought–
Yeah. You know what?
You thought wrong!
Shrek.
I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do ya
It goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Baby, I’ve been here before
I know this room I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
And all I ever learned from love
I show to shoot at someone
Who outdrew you
[Moaning]
And it’s not a cry you can hear at night
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
[Moaning]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
[Thumping Sound]
Donkey?
[Grunts]
What are you doing?
I would think, of all people, you would recognise a wall when you see one.
Well, yeah.
But the wall’s supposed to go around my swamp, not through it.
It is around your half. See, that’s your half, and this is my half.
Oh! Your half. Hmm.
Yes, my half. I helped rescue the princess.
I did half the work, I get half the booty.
Now hand me that big old rock, the one that looks like your head.
Back off!
No, you back off.
This is my swamp!
Our swamp.
Let go, Donkey!
You let go.
Stubborn jackass!
Smelly ogre.
Fine!
Hey, come back here. I’m not through with you yet.
Well, I’m through with you.
Uh-uh. You know, with you it’s always, Me, me, me!
Well, guess what! Now it’s my turn!
So you just shut up and pay attention!
You are mean to me.
You insult me and you don’t appreciate anything that I do!
You’re always pushing me around or pushing me away.
Oh, yeah? Well, if I treated you so bad, how come you came back?
Because that’s what friends do! They forgive each other!
Oh, yeah. You’re right, Donkey.
I forgive you… for stabbing me in the back!
Ohh! You’re so wrapped up in layers, onion boy, you’re afraid of your own feelings.
Go away!
There you are, doing it again just like you did to Fiona.
All she ever do was like you, maybe even love you.
Love me? She said I was ugly, a hideous creature.
I heard the two of you talking.
She wasn’t talking about you.
She was talking about, uh, somebody else.
She wasn’t talking about me?
Well, then who was she talking about?
Uh-uh, no way. I am not saying anything. You don’t wanna listen to me.
Right? Right?
Donkey!
No!
Okay, look.
I’m sorry, all right?
Hmph.
[Sighs] I’m sorry.
I guess I am just a big, stupid, ugly ogre.
Can you forgive me?
Hey, that’s what friends are for, right?
Right. Friends?
Friends.
So, um,
what did Fiona say about me?
What are you asking me for? Why don’t you just go ask her?
The wedding! We’ll never make it in time.
Ha-ha-ha! Never fear, for where there’s a will, there’s a way,
and I have a way. [Whistles]
Donkey?
[Donkey Laughing]
I guess it’s just my animal magnetism.
[Laughing] Aw, come here, you.
All right, all right. Don’t get all slobbery. No one likes a kiss ass.
All right, hop on and hold on tight.
I haven’t had a chance to install the seat belts yet.
[Donkey Laughing] Whoo!
[Bells Tolling]
[All Gasping]
People of DuLoc,
we gather here today…
to bear witness…
to the union…
Um–
of our new king–
Excuse me.
Could we just skip ahead to the I do’s?
[Chuckling]
Go on.
Go ahead, have some fun. If we need you, I’ll whistle. How about that?
Shrek, wait, wait! Wait a minute!
You wanna do this right, don’t you?
What are you talking about?
There’s a line you gotta wait for.
The preacher’s gonna say, Speak now or forever hold your peace.
That’s when you say, I object!
I don’t have time for this!
Wait. What are you doing? Listen to me!
Look, you love this woman, don’t you?
Yes.
You wanna hold her?
Yes.
Please her?
Yes!
Then you got to, got to try a little tenderness
The chicks love that romantic crap!
All right! Cut it out.
When does this guy say the line?
We gotta check it out.
[Donkey Grunting]
And so, by the power vested in me,
[Shrek] What do you see?
The whole town’s in there.
I now pronounce you husband and wife,
They’re at the altar.
king and queen.
Mother Fletcher! He already said it.
Oh, for the love of Pete!
[Grunts]
I object!
Shrek?
[Gasps]
Oh, now what does he want?
[Crowd Clamouring]
Hi, everyone. Having a good time, are ya?
I love DuLoc, first of all.
Very clean.
What are you doing here?
Really, it’s rude enough being alive when no one wants you,
-but showing up uninvited to a wedding–Fiona!
I need to talk to you.
Oh, now you wanna talk?
It’s a little late for that, so if you’ll excuse me–
But you can’t marry him.
And why not?
Because-Because he’s just marrying you so he can be king.
Outrageous! Fiona, don’t listen to him.
He’s not your true love.
And what do you know about true love?
Well, I-Uh–
I mean–
Oh, this is precious.
[Chuckling] The ogre has fallen in love with the princess!
Oh, good Lord.
[Crowd Laughing]
An ogre and a princess!
[Laughing Continues]
Shrek, is this true?
Who cares? It’s preposterous!
Fiona, my love, we’re but a kiss away from our happily ever after.
Now kiss me! Mmmm!
By night one way, by day another.
I wanted to show you before.
[Whimpers]
[Crowd Gasping]
Well, uh,
that explains a lot.
[Farquaad] Ugh! It’s disgusting!
Guards! Guards!
I order you to get that out of my sight now! Get them!
Get them both!
No, no!
This hocus-pocus alters nothing. This marriage is binding, and that makes me king!
See? See?
No, let go of me! Shrek!
No!
[Farquaad] Don’t just stand there, you morons.
Get out of my way! Fiona!
Arrgh!
I’ll make you regret the day we met. I’ll see you drawn and quartered!
You’ll beg for death to save you!
No! Shrek!
And as for you, my wife,
Fiona!
I’ll have you locked back in that tower for the rest of your days!
I am king!
[Whistles]
I will have order! I will have perfection! I will have–
Aaah!
Aah!
All right. Nobody move.
I got a dragon here, and I’m not afraid to use it.
[Dragon Roars]
I’m a donkey on the edge!
[Belches]
[Donkey Laughs]
Celebrity marriages. They never last, do they?
[Cheering]
Go ahead, Shrek.
Uh, Fiona?
Yes, Shrek?
I-I love you.
Really?
Really, really.
I love you too.
[All] Aawww!
[Fiona’s Voice] Until you find truelove’s first kiss…
[Echoing] and then take love’s true form.
[Echoing Continues] Take love’s true form. Take love’s true form.
Fiona?
Fiona.
Are you all right?
Well, yes.
But I don’t understand.
I’m supposed to be beautiful.
But you are beautiful.
[Chuckles]
I was hoping this would be a happy ending.
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
[All] Oy!
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That’s the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
And then I saw her face
Now I’m a believer
And not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I’m in love
Ooh-ahh
I’m a believer I couldn’t leave her
If I tried
God bless us, every one.
Come on, y’all! Then I saw her face Ha-ha!
Now I’m a believer Listen!
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I’m in love Ooh-ahh
I’m a believer I couldn’t leave her if I tried
Ooh!
Uh!
Then I saw her face
Now I’m a believer Hey!
Not a trace Uhh! Yeah.
Of doubt in my mind One more time!
I’m in love I’m a believer
Come on!
I believe, I believe I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe I believe, I believe, I believe, hey
Y’all sing it with me! I
Believe
I believe People in the back!
I believe
I’m a believer
I believe
I believe
I believe
[Hysterical Laughing]
Oh, that’s funny. Oh. Oh.
I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe.
I believe in self-assertion
Destiny or as light diversion
Now it seems I’ve got my head on straight
I’m a freak an apparition
Seems I’ve made the right decision
To try to turn back now it might be too late
I want to stay home today
Don’t wanna go out
If anyone comes to play
Gonna get thrown out
I wanna stay home today
Don’t want no company
No way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna be a millionaire some day
But know what it feels like to give it away
Watch me march to the beat of my own drum
And it’s off to the moon and then back again
Same old day Same situation
My happiness rears back as if to say
I wanna stay home today
Don’t wanna go out
If anyone comes my way
Gonna get thrown out
I wanna stay home today
Don’t want no company
No way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna stay home stay home, stay home
I wanna stay home today
Don’t wanna go out
If anyone comes to play
Gonna get thrown out
I wanna stay home today
Don’t want no company No way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I get such a thrill when you looking my eyes
My heart skips a beat Girl, I feel so alive
Please tell me, baby if all this is true
Cause deep down inside all I wanted was you
Oh-oh-oh Makes me wanna dance
Oh-oh-oh It’s a new romance
Oh-oh-oh I look into your eyes
Oh-oh-oh The best years of our lives
When we first met I could hardly believe
The things that would happen and we could achieve
So let’s be together for all of our time
Oh, girl, I’m so thankful that you are still mine
You always consider me like an ugly duckling
And treat me like a Nostradamus was why I had to get my shine on
I break a little something to keep my mind on
Cause you had my mind gone Eh-eh, eh-eh, eh-eh
Turn the lights on, Come on, baby Let’s just rewind the song
Cause all I want to do is make the rest years the best years
All night long
Oh-oh-oh, makes me wanna dance
Makes me wanna dance
Oh-oh-oh, it’s a new romance

Oh-oh-oh, I look into your eyes

The best years of our lives
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh-oh-oh, makes me wanna dance
Whoa-oh-oh, dance, yeah
Oh-oh-oh It’s a new romance
Oh-oh-oh, I look into your eyes
Look into your eyes, yeah
Oh-oh-oh The best years of our lives
Everything looks bright
Standing in your light
Everything feels right
What’s left is out of sight
What’s a girl to do I’m telling you, you’re on my mind
I wanna be with you
Cause when you’re standing next to me
It’s like wow
And all your kisses seem to set me free
It’s like wow
And when we touch it’s such a rush, I can’t get enough
It’s like-It’s like Ooh-ooh
Hey, what
It’s like wow Ooh-ooh, hey
Hey, yeah It’s like wow
Everything is looking right now, right now

And I got this feeling

You are all I’m thinking of.

Everything looks bright
All my senses are right.
Like wow
Everything feels right
Baby, baby, baby the way I’m feeling you
Is like wow
[Instrumental]
There is something that I see
In the way you look at me
There’s a smile There’s a truth
In your eyes
What an unexpected way
On this unexpected day
Could it be
This is where I belong
It is you I have loved
All along
There’s no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You’re the home my heart’s searched for
So long
It is you I have loved
All along
Whoa, over and over
I’m filled with emotion
As I look
Into your perfect face
*** THE END ***
