    SHREK
    Written by

    William Steig & Ted Elliott




    SHREK
    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 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. (laughs)
    Like that's ever gonna happen. What
    a load of - (toilet flush)

    Allstar - by Smashmouth begins to play. Shrek goes about his
    day. While in a nearby town, the villagers get together to go
    after the ogre.

    NIGHT - NEAR SHREK'S HOME
    MAN1

    Think it's in there?

    MAN2
    All right. Let's get it!

    MAN1
    Whoa. Hold on. Do you know what that
    thing can do to you?

    MAN3

    Yeah, it'll grind your bones for it's
    bread.

    Shrek sneaks up behind them and laughs.

    SHREK
    Yes, well, actually, that would be a
    giant. Now, ogres, oh they're much worse.
    They'll make a suit from your freshly
    peeled skin.

    MEN

    No!

    SHREK
    They'll shave your liver. Squeeze the
    jelly from your eyes! Actually, it's
    quite good on toast.

    MAN1

    Back! Back, beast! Back! I warn ya!
    (waves the torch at Shrek.)

    Shrek calmly licks his fingers and extinguishes the torch. The
    men shrink back away from him. Shrek roars very loudly and long
    and his breath extinguishes all the remaining torches until the
    men are in the dark.

    SHREK

    This is the part where you run away.
    (The men scramble to get away. He laughs.)
    And stay out! (looks down and picks
    up a piece of paper. Reads.) "Wanted.
    Fairy tale creatures."(He sighs and
    throws the paper over his shoulder.)


    THE NEXT DAY

    There is a line of fairy tale creatures. The head of the guard
    sits at a table paying people for bringing the fairy tale creatures
    to him. There are cages all around. Some of the people in line
    are Peter Pan, who is carrying Tinkerbell in a cage, Gipetto
    who's carrying Pinocchio, and a farmer who is carrying the three
    little pigs.

    GUARD

    All right. This one's full. Take it
    away! Move it along. Come on! Get up!


    HEAD GUARD

    Next!

    GUARD
    (taking the witch's broom) Give me that!
    Your flying days are over. (breaks the
    broom in half)

    HEAD GUARD

    That's 20 pieces of silver for the witch.
    Next!

    GUARD

    Get up! Come on!

    HEAD GUARD
    Twenty pieces.

    LITTLE BEAR
    (crying) This cage is too small.

    DONKEY
    Please, don't turn me in. I'll never
    be stubborn again. I can change. Please!
    Give me another chance!

    OLD WOMAN

    Oh, shut up. (jerks his rope)

    DONKEY
    Oh!

    HEAD GUARD
    Next! What have you got?

    GIPETTO
    This little wooden puppet.

    PINOCCHIO
    I'm not a puppet. I'm a real boy. (his
    nose grows)

    HEAD GUARD

    Five shillings for the possessed toy.
    Take it away.

    PINOCCHIO

    Father, please! Don't let them do this!
    Help me!

    Gipetto takes the money and walks off. The old woman steps up
    to the table.

    HEAD GUARD

    Next! What have you got?

    OLD WOMAN
    Well, I've got a talking donkey.

    HEAD GUARD
    Right. Well, that's good for ten shillings,
    if you can prove it.

    OLD WOMAN

    Oh, go ahead, little fella.

    Donkey just looks up at her.

    HEAD GUARD
    Well?

    OLD WOMAN
    Oh, oh, he's just...he's just a little
    nervous. He's really quite a chatterbox.
    Talk, you boneheaded dolt...

    HEAD GUARD

    That's it. I've heard enough. Guards!


    OLD WOMAN

    No, no, he talks! He does. (pretends
    to be Donkey) I can talk. I love to
    talk. I'm the talkingest damn thing
    you ever saw.

    HEAD GUARD

    Get her out of my sight.

    OLD WOMAN
    No, no! I swear! Oh! He can talk!

    The guards grab the old woman and she struggles with them. One
    of her legs flies out and kicks Tinkerbell out of Peter Pan's
    hands, and her cage drops on Donkey's head. He gets sprinkled
    with fairy dust and he's able to fly.

    DONKEY

    Hey! I can fly!

    PETER PAN
    He can fly!

    3 LITTLE PIGS
    He can fly!

    HEAD GUARD
    He can talk!

    DONKEY
    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! (the pixie dust begins
    to wear off) Uh-oh. (he begins to sink
    to the ground.)

    He hits the ground with a thud.

    HEAD GUARD
    Seize him! (Donkey takes of running.)
    After him!

    GUARDS

    He's getting away! Get him! This way!
    Turn!

    Donkey keeps running and he eventually runs into Shrek. Literally.
    Shrek turns around to see who bumped into him. Donkey looks scared
    for a moment then he spots the guards coming up the path. He
    quickly hides behind Shrek.

    HEAD GUARD

    You there. Ogre!

    SHREK
    Aye?

    HEAD GUARD
    By the order of Lord Farquaad I am authorized
    to place you both under arrest and transport
    you to a designated resettlement facility.


    SHREK

    Oh, really? You and what army?

    He looks behind the guard and the guard turns to look as well
    and we see that the other men have run off. The guard tucks tail
    and runs off. Shrek laughs and goes back about his business and
    begins walking back to his cottage.

    DONKEY

    Can I say something to you? Listen,
    you was really, really, really somethin'
    back here. Incredible!

    SHREK

    Are you talkin' to...(he turns around
    and Donkey is gone) me? (he turns back
    around and Donkey is right in front
    of him.) Whoa!

    DONKEY

    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.

    SHREK

    Oh, that's great. Really.

    DONKEY
    Man, it's good to be free.

    SHREK
    Now, why don't you go celebrate your
    freedom with your own friends? Hmm?


    DONKEY

    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.

    Shrek turns and regards Donkey for a moment before roaring very
    loudly.

    DONKEY

    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...(Shrek covers his mouth but Donkey
    continues to talk, so Shrek removes
    his hand.) ...then I ate some rotten
    berries. I had strong gases leaking
    out of my butt that day.

    SHREK

    Why are you following me?

    DONKEY
    I'll tell you why. (singing) '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
    faith...

    SHREK

    Stop singing! It's no wonder you don't
    have any friends.

    DONKEY

    Wow. Only a true friend would be that
    cruelly honest.

    SHREK

    Listen, little donkey. Take a look at
    me. What am I?

    DONKEY

    (looks all the way up at Shrek) Uh ...really
    tall?

    SHREK

    No! I'm an ogre! You know. "Grab your
    torch and pitchforks." Doesn't that
    bother you?

    DONKEY

    Nope.

    SHREK
    Really?

    DONKEY
    Really, really.

    SHREK
    Oh.

    DONKEY
    Man, I like you. What's you name?

    SHREK
    Uh, Shrek.

    DONKEY
    Shrek? Well, you know what I like about
    you, Shrek? You got that kind of I-don't-care-what-nobody-thinks-of-me
    thing. I like that. I respect that,
    Shrek. You all right. (They come over
    a hill and you can see Shrek's cottage.)
    Whoa! Look at that. Who'd want to live
    in place like that?

    SHREK

    That would be my home.

    DONKEY
    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?

    SHREK

    I like my privacy.

    DONKEY
    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.
    (awkward silence) Can I stay with you?


    SHREK

    Uh, what?

    DONKEY
    Can I stay with you, please?

    SHREK
    (sarcastically) Of course!

    DONKEY
    Really?

    SHREK
    No.

    DONKEY
    Please! I don't wanna go back there!
    You don't know what it's like to be
    considered a freak. (pause while he
    looks at Shrek) Well, maybe you do.
    But that's why we gotta stick together.
    You gotta let me stay! Please! Please!


    SHREK

    Okay! Okay! But one night only.

    DONKEY
    Ah! Thank you! (he runs inside the cottage)


    SHREK

    What are you...? (Donkey hops up onto
    a chair.) No! No!

    DONKEY

    This is gonna be fun! We can stay up
    late, swappin' manly stories, and in
    the mornin' I'm makin' waffles.

    SHREK

    Oh!

    DONKEY
    Where do, uh, I sleep?

    SHREK
    (irritated) Outside!

    DONKEY
    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. Here I go. Good night. (Shrek
    slams the door.) (sigh) 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...

    SHREK'S COTTAGE - NIGHT

    Shrek is getting ready for dinner. He sits himself down and lights
    a candle made out of earwax. He begins to eat when he hears a
    noise. He stands up with a huff.

    SHREK

    (to Donkey) I thought I told you to
    stay outside.

    DONKEY

    (from the window) I am outside.

    There is another noise and Shrek turns to find the person that
    made the noise. He sees several shadows moving. He finally turns
    and spots 3 blind mice on his table.

    BLIND MOUSE1

    Well, gents, it's a far cry from the
    farm, but what choice do we have?


    BLIND MOUSE2

    It's not home, but it'll do just fine.


    GORDO

    (bouncing on a slug) What a lovely bed.


    SHREK

    Got ya. (Grabs a mouse, but it escapes
    and lands on his shoulder.)

    GORDO

    I found some cheese. (bites Shrek's
    ear)

    SHREK

    Ow!

    GORDO
    Blah! Awful stuff.

    BLIND MOUSE1
    Is that you, Gordo?

    GORDO
    How did you know?

    SHREK
    Enough! (he grabs the 3 mice) What are
    you doing in my house? (He gets bumped
    from behind and he drops the mice.)
    Hey! (he turns and sees the Seven Dwarves
    with Snow White on the table.) Oh, no,
    no, no. Dead broad off the table.


    DWARF

    Where are we supposed to put her? The
    bed's taken.

    SHREK

    Huh?

    Shrek marches over to the bedroom and throws back the curtain.
    The Big Bad Wolf is sitting in the bed. The wolf just looks at
    him.

    BIG BAD WOLF

    What?

    TIME LAPSE
    Shrek now has the Big Bad Wolf by the collar and is dragging
    him to the front door.

    SHREK

    I live in a swamp. I put up signs. I'm
    a terrifying ogre! What do I have to
    do get a little privacy? (He opens the
    front door to throw the Wolf out and
    he sees that all the collected Fairy
    Tale Creatures are on his land.) Oh,
    no. No! No!

    The 3 bears sit around the fire, the pied piper is playing his
    pipe and the rats are all running to him, some elves are directing
    flight traffic so that the fairies and witches can land...etc.


    SHREK

    What are you doing in my swamp? (this
    echoes and everyone falls silent.)


    Gasps are heard all around. The 3 good fairies hide inside a
    tent.

    SHREK

    All right, get out of here. All of you,
    move it! Come on! Let's go! Hapaya!
    Hapaya! Hey! Quickly. Come on! (more
    dwarves run inside the house) No, no!
    No, no. Not there. Not there. (they
    shut the door on him) Oh! (turns to
    look at Donkey)

    DONKEY

    Hey, don't look at me. I didn't invite
    them.

    PINOCCHIO

    Oh, gosh, no one invited us.

    SHREK
    What?

    PINOCCHIO
    We were forced to come here.

    SHREK
    (flabbergasted) By who?

    LITTLE PIG
    Lord Farquaad. He huffed and he puffed
    and he...signed an eviction notice.


    SHREK

    (heavy sigh) All right. Who knows where
    this Farquaad guy is?

    Everyone looks around at each other but no one answers.

    DONKEY
    Oh, I do. I know where he is.

    SHREK
    Does anyone else know where to find
    him? Anyone at all?

    DONKEY

    Me! Me!

    SHREK
    Anyone?

    DONKEY
    Oh! Oh, pick me! Oh, I know! I know!
    Me, me!

    SHREK

    (sigh) 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! (Pause.
    Then the crowd goes wild.) Oh! (to Donkey)
    You! You're comin' with me.

    DONKEY

    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!

    DONKEY

    (singing) On the road again. Sing it
    with me, Shrek. I can't wait to get
    on the road again.

    SHREK

    What did I say about singing?

    DONKEY
    Can I whistle?

    SHREK
    No.

    DONKEY
    Can I hum it?

    SHREK
    All right, hum it.

    Donkey begins to hum 'On the Road Again'.

    DULOC - KITCHEN
    A masked man is torturing the Gingerbread Man. He's continually
    dunking him in a glass of milk. Lord Farquaad walks in.

    FARQUAAD

    That's enough. He's ready to talk.


    The Gingerbread Man is pulled out of the milk and slammed down
    onto a cookie sheet. Farquaad laughs as he walks over to the
    table. However when he reaches the table we see that it goes
    up to his eyes. He clears his throat and the table is lowered.


    FARQUAAD

    (he picks up the Gingerbread Man's legs
    and plays with them) Run, run, run,
    as fast as you can. You can't catch
    me. I'm the gingerbread man.

    GINGERBREAD MAN

    You are a monster.

    FARQUAAD
    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?

    GINGERBREAD MAN

    Eat me! (He spits milk into Farquaad's
    eye.)

    FARQUAAD

    I've tried to be fair to you creatures.
    Now my patience has reached its end!
    Tell me or I'll...(he makes as if to
    pull off the Gingerbread Man's buttons)


    GINGERBREAD MAN

    No, no, not the buttons. Not my gumdrop
    buttons.

    FARQUAAD

    All right then. Who's hiding them?


    GINGERBREAD MAN

    Okay, I'll tell you. Do you know the
    muffin man?

    FARQUAAD

    The muffin man?

    GINGERBREAD MAN
    The muffin man.

    FARQUAAD
    Yes, I know the muffin man, who lives
    on Drury Lane?

    GINGERBREAD MAN

    Well, she's married to the muffin man.


    FARQUAAD

    The muffin man?

    GINGERBREAD MAN
    The muffin man!

    FARQUAAD
    She's married to the muffin man.

    The door opens and the Head Guard walks in.

    HEAD GUARD
    My lord! We found it.

    FARQUAAD
    Then what are you waiting for? Bring
    it in.

    More guards enter carrying something that is covered by a sheet.
    They hang up whatever it is and remove the sheet. It is the Magic
    Mirror.

    GINGERBREAD MAN

    (in awe) Ohhhh...

    FARQUAAD
    Magic mirror...

    GINGERBREAD MAN
    Don't tell him anything! (Farquaad picks
    him up and dumps him into a trash can
    with a lid.) No!

    FARQUAAD

    Evening. Mirror, mirror on the wall.
    Is this not the most perfect kingdom
    of them all?

    MIRROR

    Well, technically you're not a king.


    FARQUAAD

    Uh, Thelonius. (Thelonius holds up a
    hand mirror and smashes it with his
    fist.) You were saying?

    MIRROR

    What I mean is you're not a king yet.
    But you can become one. All you have
    to do is marry a princess.

    FARQUAAD

    Go on.

    MIRROR
    (chuckles nervously) 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, far away. She likes sushi
    and hot tubbing anytime. Her hobbies
    include cooking and cleaning for her
    two evil sisters. Please welcome Cinderella.
    (shows picture of 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! (shows
    picture of Snow White) And last, but
    certainly not last, 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 colads
    and getting caught in the rain. Yours
    for the rescuing, Princess Fiona! (Shows
    picture of Princess Fiona) So will it
    be bachelorette number one, bachelorette
    number two or bachelorette number three?


    GUARDS

    Two! Two! Three! Three! Two! Two! Three!


    FARQUAAD

    Three? One? Three?

    THELONIUS
    Three! (holds up 2 fingers) Pick number
    three, my lord!

    FARQUAAD

    Okay, okay, uh, number three!

    MIRROR
    Lord Farquaad, you've chosen Princess
    Fiona.

    FARQUAAD

    Princess Fiona. She's perfect. All I
    have to do is just find someone who
    can go...

    MIRROR

    But I probably should mention the little
    thing that happens at night.

    FARQUAAD

    I'll do it.

    MIRROR
    Yes, but after sunset...

    FARQUAAD
    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. (smiles evilly)

    DuLoc Parking Lot - Lancelot Section

    Shrek and Donkey come out of the field that is right by the parking
    lot. The castle itself is about 40 stories high.

    DONKEY

    But that's it. That's it right there.
    That's DuLoc. I told ya I'd find it.


    SHREK

    So, that must be Lord Farquaad's castle.


    DONKEY

    Uh-huh. That's the place.

    SHREK
    Do you think maybe he's compensating
    for something? (He laughs, but then
    groans as Donkey doesn't get the joke.
    He continues walking through the parking
    lot.)

    DONKEY

    Hey, wait. Wait up, Shrek.

    MAN
    Hurry, darling. We're late. Hurry.


    SHREK

    Hey, you! (The attendant, who is wearing
    a giant head that looks like Lord Farquaad,
    screams and begins running through the
    rows of rope to get to the front gate
    to get away from Shrek.) Wait a second.
    Look, I'm not gonna eat you. I just
    - - I just - - (He sighs and then begins
    walking straight through the rows. The
    attendant runs into a wall and falls
    down. Shrek and Donkey look at him then
    continue on into DuLoc.)

    DULOC

    They look around but all is quiet.

    SHREK
    It's quiet. Too quiet. Where is everybody?


    DONKEY

    Hey, look at this!

    Donkey runs over and pulls a lever that is attached to a box
    marked 'Information'. The music winds up and then the box doors
    open up. There are little wooden people inside and they begin
    to sing.

    WOODEN PEOPLE

    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 perfect place

    Please keep off of the grass

    Shine your shoes, wipe your... face

    DuLoc is, DuLoc is

    DuLoc is perfect place.

    Suddenly a camera takes Donkey and Shrek's picture.

    DONKEY
    Wow! Let's do that again! (makes ready
    to run over and pull the lever again)


    SHREK

    (grabs Donkey's tail and holds him still)
    No. No. No, no, no! No.

    They hear a trumpet fanfare and head over to the arena.

    FARQUAAD
    Brave knights. You are the best and
    brightest in all the land. Today one
    of you shall prove himself...

    As Shrek and Donkey walk down the tunnel to get into the arena
    Donkey is humming the DuLoc theme song.

    SHREK

    All right. You're going the right way
    for a smacked bottom.

    DONKEY

    Sorry about that.

    FARQUAAD
    That champion shall have the honor -
    - no, no - - the privilege to go forth
    and rescue the lovely Princess Fiona
    from the fiery keep of the 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. (cheers) Let the tournament
    begin! (He notices Shrek) Oh! What is
    that? It's hideous!

    SHREK

    (turns to look at Donkey and then back
    at Farquaad) Ah, that's not very nice.
    It's just a donkey.

    FARQUAAD

    Indeed. Knights, new plan! The one who
    kills the ogre will be named champion!
    Have it him!

    MEN

    Get him!

    SHREK
    Oh, hey! Now come on! Hang on now. (bumps
    into a table where there are mugs of
    beer)

    CROWD

    Go ahead! Get him!

    SHREK
    (holds up a mug of beer) Can't we just
    settle this over a pint?

    CROWD

    Kill the beast!

    SHREK
    No? All right then. (drinks the beer)
    Come on!

    He takes the mug and smashes the spigot off the large barrel
    of beer behind him. The beer comes rushing out drenching the
    other men and wetting the ground. It's like mud now. Shrek slides
    past the men and picks up a spear that one of the men dropped.
    As Shrek begins to fight Donkey hops up onto one of the larger
    beer barrels. It breaks free of it's ropes and begins to roll.
    Donkey manages to squish two men into the mud. There is so much
    fighting going on here I'm not going to go into detail. Suffice
    to say that Shrek kicks butt.

    DONKEY

    Hey, Shrek, tag me! Tag me!

    Shrek comes over and bangs a man's head up against Donkeys. Shrek
    gets up on the ropes and interacts with the crowd.

    SHREK

    Yeah!

    A man tries to sneak up behind Shrek, but Shrek turns in time
    and sees him.

    WOMAN

    The chair! Give him the chair!

    Shrek smashes a chair over the guys back. Finally all the men
    are down. Donkey kicks one of them in the helmet, and the ding
    sounds the end of the match. The audience goes wild.

    SHREK

    Oh, yeah! Ah! Ah! Thank you! Thank you
    very much! I'm here till Thursday. Try
    the veal! Ha, ha! (laughs)

    The laughter stops as all of the guards turn their weapons on
    Shrek.

    HEAD GUARD

    Shall I give the order, sir?

    FARQUAAD
    No, I have a better idea. People of
    DuLoc, I give you our champion!

    SHREK

    What?

    FARQUAAD
    Congratulations, ogre. You're won the
    honor of embarking on a great and noble
    quest.

    SHREK

    Quest? I'm already in a quest, a quest
    to get my swamp back.

    FARQUAAD

    Your swamp?

    SHREK
    Yeah, my swamp! Where you dumped those
    fairy tale creatures!

    FARQUAAD

    Indeed. All right, ogre. I'll make you
    a deal. Go on this quest for me, and
    I'll give you your swamp back.

    SHREK

    Exactly the way it was?

    FARQUAAD
    Down to the last slime-covered toadstool.


    SHREK

    And the squatters?

    FARQUAAD
    As good as gone.

    SHREK
    What kind of quest?

    Time Lapse - Donkey and Shrek are now walking through the field
    heading away from DuLoc. Shrek is munching on an onion.

    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?

    SHREK

    You know, maybe there's a good reason
    donkeys shouldn't talk.

    DONKEY

    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, grinds
    his bones to make your bread, the whole
    ogre trip.

    SHREK

    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?


    DONKEY

    Uh, no, not really, no.

    SHREK
    For your information, there's a lot
    more to ogres than people think.

    DONKEY

    Example?

    SHREK
    Example? Okay, um, ogres are like onions.
    (he holds out his onion)

    DONKEY

    (sniffs the onion) They stink?

    SHREK
    Yes - - No!

    DONKEY
    They make you cry?

    SHREK
    No!

    DONKEY
    You leave them in the sun, they get
    all brown, start sproutin' little white
    hairs.

    SHREK

    No! Layers! Onions have layers. Ogres
    have layers! Onions have layers. You
    get it? We both have layers. (he heaves
    a sigh and then walks off)

    DONKEY

    (trailing after Shrek) Oh, you both
    have layers. Oh. {Sniffs} You know,
    not everybody likes onions. Cake! Everybody
    loves cakes! Cakes have layers.

    SHREK

    I don't care... what everyone likes.
    Ogres are not like cakes.

    DONKEY

    You know what else everybody likes?
    Parfaits. Have you ever met a person,
    you say, "Let's get some parfait," they
    say, "Hell no, I don't like no parfait"?
    Parfaits are delicious.

    SHREK

    No! You dense, irritating, miniature
    beast of burden! Ogres are like onions!
    And of story. Bye-bye. See ya later.


    DONKEY

    Parfaits may be the most delicious thing
    on the whole damn planet.

    SHREK

    You know, I think I preferred your humming.


    DONKEY

    Do you have a tissue or something? I'm
    making a mess. Just the word parfait
    make me start slobbering.

    They head off. There is a montage of their journey. Walking through
    a field at sunset. Sleeping beneath a bright moon. Shrek trying
    to put the campfire out the next day and having a bit of a problem,
    so Donkey pees on the fire to put it out.

    DRAGON'S KEEP

    Shrek and Donkey are walking up to the keep that's supposed to
    house Princess Fiona. It appears to look like a giant volcano.


    DONKEY

    (sniffs) Ohh! Shrek! Did you do that?
    You gotta warn somebody before you just
    crack one off. My mouth was open and
    everything.

    SHREK

    Believe me, Donkey, if it was me, you'd
    be dead. (sniffs) It's brimstone. We
    must be getting close.

    DONKEY

    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.


    They climb up the side of the volcano/keep and look down. There
    is a small piece of rock right in the center and that is where
    the castle is. It is surrounded by boiling lava. It looks very
    foreboding.

    SHREK

    Sure, it's big enough, but look at the
    location. (laughs...then the laugh turns
    into a groan)

    DONKEY

    Uh, Shrek? Uh, remember when you said
    ogres have layers?

    SHREK

    Oh, aye.

    DONKEY
    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.

    SHREK

    Wait a second. Donkeys don't have sleeves.


    DONKEY

    You know what I mean.

    SHREK
    You can't tell me you're afraid of heights.


    DONKEY

    No, I'm just a little uncomfortable
    about being on a rickety bridge over
    a boiling like of lava!

    SHREK

    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.

    DONKEY

    Really?

    SHREK
    Really, really.

    DONKEY
    Okay, that makes me feel so much better.


    SHREK

    Just keep moving. And don't look down.


    DONKEY

    Okay, don't look down. Don't look down.
    Don't look down. Keep on moving. Don't
    look down. (he steps through a rotting
    board and ends up looking straight down
    into the lava) Shrek! I'm lookin' down!
    Oh, God, I can't do this! Just let me
    off, please!

    SHREK

    But you're already halfway.

    DONKEY
    But I know that half is safe!

    SHREK
    Okay, fine. I don't have time for this.
    You go back.

    DONKEY

    Shrek, no! Wait!

    SHREK
    Just, Donkey - - Let's have a dance
    then, shall me? (bounces and sways the
    bridge)

    DONKEY

    Don't do that!

    SHREK
    Oh, I'm sorry. Do what? Oh, this? (bounces
    the bridge again)

    DONKEY

    Yes, that!

    SHREK
    Yes? Yes, do it. Okay. (continues to
    bounce and sway as he backs Donkey across
    the bridge)

    DONKEY

    No, Shrek! No! Stop it!

    SHREK
    You said do it! I'm doin' it.

    DONKEY
    I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die. Shrek,
    I'm gonna die. (steps onto solid ground)
    Oh!

    SHREK

    That'll do, Donkey. That'll do. (walks
    towards the castle)

    DONKEY

    Cool. So where is this fire-breathing
    pain-in-the-neck anyway?

    SHREK

    Inside, waiting for us to rescue her.
    (chuckles)

    DONKEY

    I was talkin' about the dragon, Shrek.


    INSIDE THE CASTLE
    DONKEY

    You afraid?

    SHREK
    No.

    DONKEY
    But...

    SHREK
    Shh.

    DONKEY
    Oh, good. Me neither. (sees a skeleton
    and gasps) 'Cause there's nothin' wrong
    with bein' 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 ain't no coward. I know that.


    SHREK

    Donkey, two things, okay? Shut ... up.
    Now go over there and see if you can
    find any stairs.

    DONKEY

    Stairs? I thought we was lookin' for
    the princess.

    SHREK

    (putting on a helmet) The princess will
    be up the stairs in the highest room
    in the tallest tower.

    DONKEY

    What makes you think she'll be there?


    SHREK

    I read it in a book once. (walks off)


    DONKEY

    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 goin'.
    (walks off)

    EMPTY ROOM

    Donkey is still talking to himself as he looks around the room.


    DONKEY

    I'm gonna take drastic steps. Kick it
    to the curb. 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.

    ELSEWHERE

    Shrek spots a light in the tallest tower window.

    SHREK
    Well, at least we know where the princess
    is, but where's the...

    DONKEY

    (os) Dragon!

    Donkey gasps and takes off running as the dragon roars again.
    Shrek manages to grab Donkey out of the way just as the dragon
    breathes fire.

    SHREK

    Donkey, look out! (he manages to get
    a hold of the dragons tail and holds
    on) Got ya!

    The dragon gets irritated at this and flicks it's tail and Shrek
    goes flying through the air and crashes through the roof of the
    tallest tower. Fiona wakes up with a jerk and looks at him lying
    on the floor.

    DONKEY

    Oh! Aah! Aah!

    Donkey get cornered as the Dragon knocks away all but a small
    part of the bridge he's on.

    DONKEY

    No. Oh, no, No! (the dragon roars) Oh,
    what large teeth you have. (the dragon
    growls) I mean white, sparkling teeth.
    I know you probably hear this all 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.
    (the dragon begins fluttering her eyes
    at him) What's the matter with you?
    You got something in your eye? Ohh.
    Oh. Oh. Man, I'd really love to stay,
    but you know, I'm, uh...(the dragon
    blows a smoke ring in the shape of a
    heart right at him, and he coughs) I'm
    an asthmatic, and I don't know if it'd
    work out if you're gonna blow smoke
    rings. Shrek! (the dragon picks him
    up with her teeth and carries him off)
    No! Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!

    FIONA'S ROOM

    Shrek groans as he gets up off the floor. His back is to Fiona
    so she straightens her dress and lays back down on the bed. She
    then quickly reaches over and gets the bouquet of flowers off
    the side table. She then lays back down and appears to be asleep.
    Shrek turns and goes over to her. He looks down at Fiona for
    a moment and she puckers her lips. Shrek takes her by the shoulders
    and shakes her away.

    FIONA

    Oh! Oh!

    SHREK
    Wake up!

    FIONA
    What?

    SHREK
    Are you Princess Fiona?

    FIONA
    I am, awaiting a knight so bold as to
    rescue me.

    SHREK

    Oh, that's nice. Now let's go!

    FIONA
    But wait, Sir Knight. This be-ith our
    first meeting. Should it not be a wonderful,
    romantic moment?

    SHREK

    Yeah, sorry, lady. There's no time.


    FIONA

    Hey, wait. What are you doing? You should
    sweep me off my feet out yonder window
    and down a rope onto your valiant steed.


    SHREK

    You've had a lot of time to plan this,
    haven't you?

    FIONA

    (smiles) Mm-hmm.

    Shrek breaks the lock on her door and pulls her out and down
    the hallway.

    FIONA

    But we have to savor this moment! You
    could recite an epic poem for me. A
    ballad? A sonnet! A limerick? Or something!


    SHREK

    I don't think so.

    FIONA
    Can I at least know the name of my champion?


    SHREK

    Uh, Shrek.

    FIONA
    Sir Shrek. (clears throat and holds
    out a handkerchief) I pray that you
    take this favor as a token of my gratitude.


    SHREK

    Thanks!

    Suddenly they hear the dragon roar.

    FIONA
    (surprised)You didn't slay the dragon?


    SHREK

    It's on my to-do list. Now come on!
    (takes off running and drags Fiona behind
    him.)

    FIONA

    But this isn't right! You were meant
    to charge in, sword drawn, banner flying.
    That's what all the other knights did.


    SHREK

    Yeah, right before they burst into flame.


    FIONA

    That's not the point. (Shrek suddenly
    stops and she runs into him.) Oh! (Shrek
    ignores her and heads for a wooden door
    off to the side.) Wait. Where are you
    going? The exit's over there.

    SHREK

    Well, I have to save my ass.

    FIONA
    What kind of knight are you?

    SHREK
    One of a kind. (opens the door into
    the throne room)

    DONKEY

    (os) Slow down. Slow down, baby, please.
    I believe it's healthy to get to know
    someone over a long period of time.
    Just call me old-fashioned. (laughs
    worriedly) (we see him up close and
    from a distance as Shrek sneaks into
    the room) 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
    back up a little and take this one step
    at a time. We really should get to know
    each other first as friends or pen pals.
    I'm on the road a 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!

    Shrek grabs a chain that's connected to the chandelier and swings
    toward the dragon. He misses and he swings back again. He looks
    up and spots that the chandelier is right above the dragons head.
    He pulls on the chain and it releases and he falls down and bumps
    Donkey out of the way right as the dragon is about to kiss him.
    Instead the dragon kisses Shreks' butt. She opens her eyes and
    roars. Shrek lets go of the chain and the chandelier falls onto
    her head, but it's too big and it goes over her head and forms
    a sort of collar for her. She roars again and Shrek and Donkey
    take off running. Very 'Matrix' style. Shrek grabs Donkey and
    then grabs Princess Fiona as he runs past her.

    DONKEY

    Hi, Princess!

    FIONA
    It talks!

    SHREK
    Yeah, it's getting him to shut up that's
    the trick.

    They all start screaming as the dragon gains on them. Shrek spots
    a descending slide and jumps on. But unfortunately there is a
    crack in the stone and it hits Shrek right in the groin. His
    eyes cross and as he reaches the bottom of the slide he stumbles
    off and walks lightly.

    SHREK

    Oh!

    Shrek gets them close to the exit and sets down Donkey and Fiona.


    SHREK

    Okay, you two, heard for the exit! I'll
    take care of the dragon.

    Shrek grabs a sword and heads back toward the interior of the
    castle. He throws the sword down in between several overlapping
    chain links. The chain links are attached to the chandelier that
    is still around the dragons neck.

    SHREK

    (echoing) Run!

    They all take off running for the exit with the dragon in hot
    pursuit. They make it to the bridge and head across. The dragons
    breathes fire and the bridge begins to burn. They all hang on
    for dear life as the ropes holding the bridge up collapse. They
    are swung to the other side. As they hang upside down they look
    in horror as the dragon makes to fly over the boiling lava to
    get them. But suddenly the chandelier with the chain jerk the
    dragon back and she's unable to get to them. Our gang climbs
    quickly to safety as the dragon looks angry and then gives a
    sad whimper as she watches Donkey walk away.

    FIONA

    (sliding down the 'volcano' hill) You
    did it! You rescued me! You're amazing.
    (behind her Donkey falls down the hill)
    You're - - You're wonderful. You're...
    (turns and sees Shrek fall down the
    hill and bump into Donkey) a little
    unorthodox I'll admit. But thy deed
    is great, and thy heart is pure. I am
    eternally in your debt. (Donkey clears
    his throat.) And where would a brave
    knight be without his noble steed?


    DONKEY

    I hope you heard that. She called me
    a noble steed. She think I'm a steed.


    FIONA

    The battle is won. You may remove your
    helmet, good Sir Knight.

    SHREK

    Uh, no.

    FIONA
    Why not?

    SHREK
    I have helmet hair.

    FIONA
    Please. I would'st look upon the face
    of my rescuer.

    SHREK

    No, no, you wouldn't - - 'st.

    FIONA
    But how will you kiss me?

    SHREK
    What? (to Donkey) That wasn't in the
    job description.

    DONKEY

    Maybe it's a perk.

    FIONA
    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.

    DONKEY

    Hmm? With Shrek? You think- - Wait.
    Wait. You think that Shrek is you true
    love?

    FIONA

    Well, yes.

    Both Donkey and Shrek burst out laughing.

    DONKEY
    You think Shrek is your true love!


    FIONA

    What is so funny?

    SHREK
    Let's just say I'm not your type, okay?Fiona:
    Of course, you are. You're my rescuer.
    Now - - Now remove your helmet.

    SHREK

    Look. I really don't think this is a
    good idea.

    FIONA

    Just take off the helmet.

    SHREK
    I'm not going to.

    FIONA
    Take it off.

    SHREK
    No!

    FIONA
    Now!

    SHREK
    Okay! Easy. As you command. Your Highness.
    (takes off his helmet)

    FIONA

    You- - You're a- - an ogre.

    SHREK
    Oh, you were expecting Prince Charming.


    FIONA

    Well, yes, actually. Oh, no. This is
    all wrong. You're not supposed to be
    an ogre.

    SHREK

    Princess, I was sent to rescue you by
    Lord Farquaad, okay? He is the one who
    wants to marry you.

    FIONA

    Then why didn't he come rescue me?


    SHREK

    Good question. You should ask him that
    when we get there.

    FIONA

    But I have to be rescued by my true
    love, not by some ogre and his- - his
    pet.

    DONKEY

    Well, so much for noble steed.

    SHREK
    You're not making my job any easier.


    FIONA

    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.

    SHREK

    Hey! I'm no one's messenger boy, all
    right? (ominous) I'm a delivery boy.
    (he swiftly picks her up and swings
    her over his shoulder like she was a
    sack of potatoes)

    FIONA

    You wouldn't dare. Put me down!

    SHREK
    Ya comin', Donkey?

    DONKEY
    I'm right behind ya.

    FIONA
    Put me down, or you will suffer the
    consequences! This is not dignified!
    Put me down!

    WOODS

    A little time has passed and Fiona has calmed down. She just
    hangs there limply while Shrek carries her.

    DONKEY

    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?

    FIONA

    You just tell her she's not your true
    love. Everyone knows what happens when
    you find your...(Shrek drops her on
    the ground) Hey! The sooner we get to
    DuLoc the better.

    DONKEY

    You're gonna love it there, Princess.
    It's beautiful!

    FIONA

    And what of my groom-to-be? Lord Farquaad?
    What's he like?

    SHREK

    Let me put it this way, Princess. Men
    of Farquaad's stature are in short supply.
    (he and Donkey laugh)

    Shrek then proceeds to splash water onto his face to wash off
    the dust and grime.

    DONKEY

    I don't know. There are those who think
    little of him. (they laugh again) Fiona:
    Stop it. Stop it, both of you. You're
    just jealous you can never measure up
    to a great ruler like Lord Farquaad.


    SHREK

    Yeah, well, maybe you're right, Princess.
    But I'll let you do the "measuring"
    when you see him tomorrow.

    FIONA

    (looks at the setting sun) Tomorrow?
    It'll take that long? Shouldn't we stop
    to make camp?

    SHREK

    No, that'll take longer. We can keep
    going.

    FIONA

    But there's robbers in the woods.

    DONKEY
    Whoa! Time out, Shrek! Camp is starting
    to sound good.

    SHREK

    Hey, come on. I'm scarier than anything
    we're going to see in this forest.


    FIONA

    I need to find somewhere to camp now!


    Both Donkey and Shrek's ears lower as they shrink away from her.


    MOUNTAIN CLIFF

    Shrek has found a cave that appears to be in good order. He shoves
    a stone boulder out of the way to reveal the cave.

    SHREK

    Hey! Over here.

    DONKEY
    Shrek, we can do better than that. I
    don't think this is fit for a princess.


    FIONA

    No, no, it's perfect. It just needs
    a few homey touches.

    SHREK

    Homey touches? Like what? (he hears
    a tearing noise and looks over at Fiona
    who has torn the bark off of a tree.)


    FIONA

    A door? Well, gentlemen, I bid thee
    good night. (goes into the cave and
    puts the bark door up behind her)


    DONKEY

    You want me to read you a bedtime story?
    I will.

    FIONA

    (os) I said good night!

    Shrek looks at Donkey for a second and then goes to move the
    boulder back in front of the entrance to the cave with Fiona
    still inside.

    DONKEY

    Shrek, What are you doing?

    SHREK
    (laughs) I just- - You know - - Oh,
    come on. I was just kidding.

    LATER THAT NIGHT

    Shrek and Donkey are sitting around a campfire. They are staring
    up into the sky as Shrek points out certain star constellations
    to Donkey.

    SHREK

    And, uh, that one, that's Throwback,
    the only ogre to ever spit over three
    wheat fields.

    DONKEY

    Right. Yeah. Hey, can you tell my future
    from these stars?

    SHREK

    The stars don't tell the future, Donkey.
    They tell stories. Look, there's Bloodnut,
    the Flatulent. You can guess what he's
    famous for.

    DONKEY

    I know you're making this up.

    SHREK
    No, look. There he is, and there's the
    group of hunters running away from his
    stench.

    DONKEY

    That ain't nothin' but a bunch of little
    dots.

    SHREK

    You know, Donkey, sometimes things are
    more than they appear. Hmm? Forget it.


    DONKEY

    (heaves a big sigh) Hey, Shrek, what
    we gonna do when we get our swamp anyway?


    SHREK

    Our swamp?

    DONKEY
    You know, when we're through rescuing
    the princess.

    SHREK

    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.

    DONKEY

    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.

    SHREK

    No, do ya think?

    DONKEY
    Are you hidin' something?

    SHREK
    Never mind, Donkey.

    DONKEY
    Oh, this is another one of those onion
    things, isn't it?

    SHREK

    No, this is one of those drop-it and
    leave-it alone things.

    DONKEY

    Why don't you want to talk about it?


    SHREK

    Why do you want to talk about it?

    DONKEY
    Why are you blocking?

    SHREK
    I'm not blocking.

    DONKEY
    Oh, yes, you are.

    SHREK
    Donkey, I'm warning you.

    DONKEY
    Who you trying to keep out?

    SHREK
    Everyone! Okay?

    DONKEY
    (pause) Oh, now we're gettin' somewhere.
    (grins)

    At this point Fiona pulls the 'door' away from the entrance to
    the cave and peaks out. Neither of the guys see her.

    SHREK

    Oh! For the love of Pete! (gets up and
    walks over to the edge of the cliff
    and sits down)

    DONKEY

    What's your problem? What you got against
    the whole world anyway?

    SHREK

    Look, 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!" They judge me before
    they even know me. That's why I'm better
    off alone.

    DONKEY

    You know what? When we met, I didn't
    think you was just a big, stupid, ugly
    ogre.

    SHREK

    Yeah, I know.

    DONKEY
    So, uh, are there any donkeys up there?


    SHREK

    Well, there's, um, Gabby, the Small
    and Annoying.

    DONKEY

    Okay, okay, I see it now. The big shiny
    one, right there. That one there?


    Fiona puts the door back.

    SHREK
    That's the moon.

    DONKEY
    Oh, okay.

    DuLoc - Farquaad's Bedroom

    The camera pans over a lot of wedding stuff. Soft music plays
    in the background. Farquaad is in bed, watching as the Magic
    Mirror shows him Princess Fiona.

    FARQUAAD

    Again, show me again. Mirror, mirror,
    show her to me. Show me the princess.


    MIRROR

    Hmph.

    The Mirror rewinds and begins to play again from the beginning.


    FARQUAAD

    Ah. Perfect.

    Farquaad looks down at his bare chest and pulls the sheet up
    to cover himself as though Fiona could see him as he gazes sheepishly
    at her image in the mirror.

    MORNING

    Fiona walks out of the cave. She glances at Shrek and Donkey
    who are still sleeping. She wanders off into the woods and comes
    across a blue bird. She begins to sing. The bird sings along
    with her. She hits higher and higher notes and the bird struggles
    to keep up with her. Suddenly the pressure of the note is too
    big and the bird explodes. Fiona looks a little sheepish, but
    she eyes the eggs that the bird left behind. Time lapse, Fiona
    is now cooking the eggs for breakfast. Shrek and Donkey are still
    sleeping. Shrek wakes up and looks at Fiona. Donkey's talking
    in his sleep.

    DONKEY

    (quietly) Mmm, yeah, you know I like
    it like that. Come on, baby. I said
    I like it.

    SHREK

    Donkey, wake up. (shakes him)

    DONKEY
    Huh? What?

    SHREK
    Wake up.

    DONKEY
    What? (stretches and yawns)

    FIONA
    Good morning. Hm, how do you like your
    eggs?

    DONKEY

    Oh, good morning, Princess!

    Fiona gets up and sets the eggs down in front of them.

    SHREK
    What's all this about?

    FIONA
    You know, we kind of got off to a bad
    start yesterday. I wanted to make it
    up to you. I mean, after all, you did
    rescue me.

    SHREK

    Uh, thanks.

    Donkey sniffs the eggs and licks his lips.

    FIONA
    Well, eat up. We've got a big day ahead
    of us. (walks off)

    LATER

    They are once again on their way. They are walking through the
    forest. Shrek belches.

    DONKEY

    Shrek!

    SHREK
    What? It's a compliment. Better out
    than in, I always say. (laughs)

    DONKEY

    Well, it's no way to behave in front
    of a princess.

    Fiona belches

    FIONA
    Thanks.

    DONKEY
    She's as nasty as you are.

    SHREK
    (chuckles) You know, you're not exactly
    what I expected.

    FIONA

    Well, maybe you shouldn't judge people
    before you get to know them.

    She smiles and then continues walking, singing softly. Suddenly
    from out of nowhere, a man swings down and swoops Fiona up into
    a tree.

    ROBIN HOOD

    La liberte! Hey!

    SHREK
    Princess!

    FIONA
    (to Robin Hood) What are you doing?


    ROBIN HOOD

    Be still, mon cherie, for I am you savior!
    And I am rescuing you from this green...(kisses
    up her arm while Fiona pulls back in
    disgust)...beast.

    SHREK

    Hey! That's my princess! Go find you
    own!

    ROBIN HOOD

    Please, monster! Can't you see I'm a
    little busy here?

    FIONA

    (getting fed up) Look, pal, I don't
    know who you think you are!

    ROBIN HOOD

    Oh! Of course! Oh, how rude. Please
    let me introduce myself. Oh, Merry Men.
    (laughs)

    Suddenly an accordion begins to play and the Merry men pop out
    from the bushes. They begin to sing Robin's theme song.

    MERRY MEN

    Ta, dah, dah, dah, whoo.

    ROBIN HOOD
    I steal from the rich and give to the
    needy.

    MERRY MEN

    He takes a wee percentage,

    ROBIN HOOD
    But I'm not greedy. I rescue pretty
    damsels, man, I'm good.

    MERRY MEN

    What a guy, Monsieur Hood.

    ROBIN HOOD
    Break it down. I like an honest fight
    and a saucy little maid...

    MERRY MEN

    What he's basically saying is he likes
    to get...

    ROBIN HOOD

    Paid. So...When an ogre in the bush
    grabs a lady by the tush. That's bad.


    MERRY MEN

    That's bad.

    ROBIN HOOD
    When a beauty's with a beast it makes
    me awfully mad.

    MERRY MEN

    He's mad, he's really, really mad.


    ROBIN HOOD

    I'll take my blade and ram it through
    your heart, keep your eyes on me, boys
    'cause I'm about to start...

    There is a grunt as Fiona swings down from the tree limb and
    knocks Robin Hood unconscious.

    FIONA

    Man, that was annoying!

    Shrek looks at her in admiration.

    MERRY MAN
    Oh, you little- - (shoots an arrow at
    Fiona but she ducks out of the way)


    The arrow flies toward Donkey who jumps into Shrek's arms to
    get out of the way. The arrow proceeds to just bounce off a tree.


    Another fight sequence begins and Fiona gives a karate yell and
    then proceeds to beat the crap out of the Merry Men. There is
    a very interesting 'Matrix' moment here when Fiona pauses in
    mid-air to fix her hair. Finally all of the Merry Men are down,
    and Fiona begins walking away.
