Shrek
[edit].jpg)
- Where’s Fiona? Where’s my family!
- [spots at Fiona's crown] Oh, no. If I didn’t saved Fiona. Then who did?
- OK, I know you don't remember me, but... ...we're married. Hear me out. And at the birthday party with some pigs and a puppet, the villagers wanted me to sign their pitchforks, and this boy kept saying, "Do the roar, Do the roar." Then I punched the cakes that the pigs ate and the next thing I knew, my donkey fell in your waffle hole.
- But… but… I’m your true love.
- [last words] You know what the best part of today was? I got the chance to fall in love with you all over again.
- You know, I always thought I rescued you from the Dragon's Keep.
- No. It was you that rescued me.
Dialogue
[edit]- Rumpelstiltskin: [narrating] Once upon a time a long time ago, a king and a queen had a beautiful daughter named Fiona. But she was possessed by a terrible curse. By day, a lovely princess; by night, a hideous ogre. Only true love's kiss would lift her curse. So Fiona waited in a tower, guarded by a dragon, until the day when her true love would arrive. But as the days turned into years, the King and Queen were forced to resort to more desperate measures.
- Rumpelstiltskin: No one would have guessed that an ogre named Shrek, whose roar was feared throughout the land, would save the beautiful Princess Fiona. [He angrily turned the page, showing a picture of Shrek and Fiona kissing and a separate picture of their babies.]
- Rumpelstiltskin: [irate] True love’s kiss led to marriage and ogre babies!
- [He ripped off the page of the babies, showing the page of good guys and villains (who were reformed thanks to Artie) holding hands together.]
- Rumpelstiltskin: The kingdom of Far Far Away was finally at peace (sarcastically) Goody for them!
- [He ripped off that page as well, leaving the page with the ogre family in front of the swamp.]
- Rumpelstiltskin: [furiously] AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY--
- [He ripped off that page, leaving the page of Shrek with Donkey and Puss bumping fists.]
- Rumpelstiltskin: EVER--
- [He ripped off that page, getting to the final one with Shrek and Fiona riding a unicorn, while Pinocchio waved a wand, Donkey ran with his kids, the Three Little Pigs, the Three Blind Mice, Puss and Gingy riding down rainbows, and the ogre babies riding a cloud.]
- Rumpelstiltskin: AFTER!
- [As Rumpelstiltskin angrily scrunches up a page from a library book about Shrek]
- Pinocchio: Uh, sir? You’re gonna have to pay for that.
- Rumpelstiltskin: Uh, m-m-maybe we can make a deal for it, little boy?
- Pinocchio: Oh, I'm not a real boy.
- Rumpelstiltskin: [looking devious] Do you want to be?
- Pinocchio: [kicks him out of the library] NOBODY NEEDS YOUR DEALS ANYMORE, GRUMPEL STINKYPANTS! [closes the door]
- Rumpelstiltskin: [coughs, and looks at the ripped page of the royal family in anger] I wish that ogre was never born!
- Butterpants: Do the roar.
- Shrek: Uh, roar.
- Butterpants: [unimpressed] I don't like it.
- Princess Fiona: Unbelievable!
- Shrek: Tell me about it! Those villagers are...
- Princess Fiona: I'm not talking about the villagers, Shrek, I'm talking about you. Is this really how you want to remember the kids' first birthday?
- Shrek: Oh, great. So this is all my fault?
- Princess Fiona: Yes! But.... You know what? Let's talk about this after the party, at home.
- Shrek: You mean that roadside attraction we live in?! [mimicking the tour guide] "Step right up! See the dancing ogre! Don't worry! He won't bite!" I USED TO BE AN OGRE, NOW I'M JUST A JOLLY JOKE!
- Princess Fiona: Okay, okay. Maybe you're not the ogre you used to be. But maybe that's not such a bad thing.
- Shrek: Oh, I wouldn't expect you to understand. It is not like you're a real ogre. You spent half your life in a palace! [throws down the party hat]
- Princess Fiona: [solemnly] And the other half locked away in a tower.
- Shrek: [sighs] Look, all I want is for things to go back to the way they used to be. Back when villagers were afraid of me, and I could take a mud bath in peace, when I could do what I wanted when I wanted to do it. Back when the world made sense.
- Princess Fiona: [sharply] You mean, back before you rescued me from the Dragon's Keep?
- Shrek: [angrily] EXACTLY!
- Princess Fiona: [widens her eyes in great shock, not believing what her husband just said to her; solemnly] Shrek, you have three beautiful children, a wife who loves you, friends who adore you. You have everything. Why is it the only person who can't see that... is you?
- [Shrek doesn't respond; Fiona heads back inside the party, but before she gets in, she glances and shakes her at Shrek who just glares at her. She sadly closes the door, leaving Shrek alone]
- Shrek: That's just great. [leaves]
- Rumpelstiltskin: So, you're not gonna eat me?
- Shrek: No, thanks. I already had a big bowl of curly-toed weirdo for breakfast.
- Shrek: Alright. I knew it. So what do you want?
- Rumpelstiltskin: A day.
- Shrek: A day?
- Rumplestiltskin: Ooh, rat's done!
- Shrek: You witches are making a big mistake! I know my rights!
- Pumpkin Witch: You have the right to shut your mouth! [drops a pumpkin which explodes with smoke in Shrek's face]
- Shrek: Stiltskin.
- Witch: I said, quiet!
- Shrek: Stiltskin!
- Rumpelstiltskin: Oh, Shrek! [Witches gasps and the music stops; laughs] There he is!
- Pinocchio: Oh! So close!
- Rumpelstiltskin: Have I been waitin' for you! Ladies, this is the guy that made all of this possible! So, tell me, [whispers] how are you enjoying your day?
- Shrek: All right, Rumpel, what’s going on?! What have you done?
- Rumpelstiltskin: No, Shrek, it’s not what I’ve done. It’s what you’ve done. Thanks to you, the King and Queen signed their kingdom over to me.
- Shrek: They would never do that.
- Rumpelstiltskin: They would if I promised them all their problems would disappear. And then they disappeared! [sighs happily] They would have done anything if they thought it would broken their daughter’s curse.
- Shrek: I ended Fiona’s curse!
- Rumpelstiltskin: How could you when you never existed?
- Shrek: You better start making sense, you dirty little man!
- Rumperstiltskin: Here, let spell out for ya. You gave me a day from your past, a day you wouldn't even remember, a day when you were an innocent, mindless, little baby. [starts scatting "Happy Birthday"]
- Shrek: [shocked] You took the day I was born.
- Rumpelstiltskin: No, Shrek. You gave it to me.
- Shrek: Enjoy this while you can, Stiltskin, because when this day is up...
- Rumpelstiltskin: But you haven’t heard the best part. Since you were never born, once this day comes to an end, so will you!
- [The witches all laughed as Shrek saw the hourglass with the sand running, which meant the time he had left was running.]
- Shrek: Where's Fiona? WHERE’S MY FAMILY?!
- Rumpelstiltskin: Silly little orge. You don’t get it, do you? You see, you were never born. You never met Fiona. Your kids don’t exist. [Then the witches all laughed at Shrek's misery, making the ogre more upset. Rumpelstiltskin even taunted him some mores] How’s that for a metaphysical paradox? Looks like you got exactly what you wanted! HAPPY OGRE-DAY!
- Shrek: [enraged] RUMPEL!! [He lunged at Rumpelstiltskin, who yelped in alarm as he jumped back.]
- Rumpelstiltskin: Get him! Get him, witches!
- Rumpelstiltskin: Wolfe, my angry wig.
- Donkey: [screaming and running] Just take my WALLET! Just take my WALLET!
- Shrek: [chases after Donkey] Hey!
- Donkey: JUST TAKE MY WALLET! I'M BEING ASS-NAPPED!
- [Shrek tackles Donkey]
- Donkey: ANIMAL CRUELTY! HELP!
- Shrek: [covers Donkey mouth] You need to calm down. I'm your friend.
- Donkey: [muffled] My friend?!
- Shrek: I'm not gonna hurt you, all right? Good! [uncovers Donkey's mouth] I'm gonna let go.... right.... now.
- Donkey: [screaming] Please! EAT MY FACE LAST! SEND MY HOOVES TO MY MAMA!
- Shrek: Donkey! You got to trust me.
- Donkey: Why should I trust you?
- Shrek: Because... Because.... [sighs]
- Shrek: [spots at Fiona's crown] Oh, no. If I didn’t saved Fiona. Then who did?
- Shrek: Donkey! [Points Donkey] Don't eat that! [Donkey stopped and frowned.] There’s a stack of freshly made waffles in the middle of the forest. Don’t you find that a wee bit suspicious? [Donkey trying to take a little nibble of the waffles, but Shrek kept protesting against it.] I’m just... What are you...? Bad Donkey! Mustn’t--I said, don’t! Don’t! No! Get away from it! [Donkey extended his tongue out and licked the dripping syrup of the waffles.] You did.
- Shrek: [about soilders using their horn] I didn't know we could do that.
- Donkey: Why don't you just tell her what you told me? You know, about how you are her true love and you came from an alternate universe.
- Shrek: [sarcastically] Oh, and while I'm at it, why don't I tell her that you're married to a fire breathing dragon, and you have little mutant donkey-dragon babies?
- Donkey: I do?!
- Shrek: You saw what happened, she's gonna think I'm crazy.
- Donkey [not listening] I'm a daddy?!
- Shrek: [spots the frog] You know what? If I got Fiona to kiss me once... [blows into a frog's mouth, inflating it like a balloon] Then I can do it again.
- Shrek: [enters Fiona's tent] Hello? Fiona?
- Puss in Boots: [green eyes are shown in the shadows of a cat condo] You should not be here, señor.
- Shrek: Puss? [Puss struggles to get out of his resting place, revealing himself as now overweight with a pink bow on wrapped around the back of his neck] You've gotta be kiddin' me.
- [Puss lowers down on the scratching post, slowly, then lands on his back on a pillow. He then struggles to get up, followed by facing Shrek]
- Puss in Boots: Feed me, if you dare.
- Shrek: Puss, what happened to you?! You got so fa... [as he goes to say "fat", Puss gives him a look] Fancy!
- Puss in Boots: Do I know you?
- Shrek: Well, where is your hat and your belt? [gasps softly] And your wee little boots?
- Puss: Boots, for a cat? [laughs]
- Shrek: But you're Puss in Boots.
- Puss in Boots: Maybe once. [opens a bottle of milk] But that is a name I have outgrown.
- Shrek: [under his breath] That's not the only thing you have outgrown.
- Puss in Boots: Hey! I may have let myself go a little since retirement, but hanging up my sword was the best decision of my life! I have all the cream I can drink and all the mice I can chase. [a mouse runs up to his bowl and starts drinking out of it] Eh, I'll get him later. [starts drinking out of the bowl himself]
- Shrek: Oh, Puss, what have I done to you? You've gone soft.
- Puss in Boots: Well, I do get brushed twice a day.
- Shrek: Donkey! [as Donkey opens his real eyes] (I'm not listening to eyeballs noses and) I hate to pull you away from your adoring public, but I’m not getting anywhere with Fiona.
- Puss in Boots: Come on, Donkey, ¡¡vamonos!!
- Donkey: Man, you are a cat-tastrophe!!
- Puss in Boots: And you, are ri-donkey-lous!!
- [Beat; then both laugh]
- Shrek: Stop! Where are you going?!
- Princess Fiona: To save my friends!
- Shrek: How, by getting yourself killed?!
- Princess Fiona: If that is what it takes!
- Shrek: Puss, say something!
- Princess Fiona: [suspiciously] Puss?!
- Puss in Boots: Eh, let me explain.
- Princess Fiona: So that's how you knew so much about me.
- Shrek: Fiona, wait! [jumping in front of her] Kiss me!
- Princess Fiona: What?!
- Shrek: It's the only way to save your friends.
- Princess Fiona: Get out of my way! [walks past him]
- Shrek: You used to believe that a single kiss could solve everything! [Fiona turns around and reluctantly kisses him. However, when they are done kissing, nothing happens, to Shrek is confusion. Fiona, indifferent, wipes her mouth; doesn't believe this] I don't understand. [frustrated] This doesn't make any sense! True love's kiss was supposed to fix everything!
- Princes Fiona: Yeah, well, you know what? That's what they told me too. True love didn't get me out of that tower. I did! I saved myself! [short pauses; trolls gone] Don't you get it?! It's all just a big fairy tale!
- Shrek: [pleads] Fiona, don't say that, it does exist!
- Princess Fiona: And how would you know?! Did you grow up locked away in a dragon's keep?! [voice cracked] Did you live all alone in a miserable tower?! Did you cry yourself to sleep every night waiting true love that never CAME?!
- Shrek: But... but I'm your true love.
- Princes Fiona: Then where were you when I needed you? [Shrek, stunned and full of guilt, can not bring himself to answer. Fiona turns around and leaves]
- Donkey: Maybe you kissed her... wrong?
- Shrek: No. The kiss didn't work... because Fiona doesn't love me.
- Shrek: Stiltskin! [Rumpelstiltskin jumped up and looked back, seeing Shrek wander through the aisle] I hear you're looking for me.
- Rumpelstiltskin: All right! Finally! [calls out and looks around] Who turned him in? Who gets the deal of a lifetime?
- Shrek: I do.
- [He took the 'deal of a lifetime' contract out of Rumpelstiltskin's hand]
- Rumpelstiltskin: What?! But--
- Shrek: If I'm turning myself in, I get the deal of a lifetime. [He plucked a feather from Fifi and dipped in the magic ink jar] That means you have to give me anything I want. [The scared villain leaped onto the table, stopped him signing it]
- Rumpelstiltskin: No, no, no! Only true love's kiss can break your contract! So if you thought you were just gonna [mimicks walking] doot-doot-doot in here and get your life back--
- Shrek: I'm not here to get my life back.
- Rumpelstiltskin: [with a glare] Then what do you want? [Outside the castle, Donkey and Puss awaited before all ogres of the resistance magically appeared, one by one, an dropped from the sky. Donkey saw Gretched falling towards where Puss was, so he used his teeth to pull the cat out of the way.]
- Puss In Boots: The ogres, we all free.
- Donkey: But where's Shrek?!
- Puss In Boots: [Long pause] This is not good. [Back in the throne room, the villagers have left, and Rumpelstiltskin was leading Shrek, who had his hands shackled, to a dungeon room, with four witches encircling the prisoner and pointing their brooms at him.]
- Rumpelstiltskin: I don't know. Not much of a storybook ending. [mockingly] The noble Shrek turns himself in to save a bunch of filthy ogres.
- [The witches trying to shackles Shrek with chains]
- Shrek: All that matters is that they're free, and Fiona is safe.
- Rumpelstiltskin: Awww, I bet Fiona would be really touched to hear that, but, hey, I guess you can tell her yourself. [He and the cackling witches turned to reveal Fiona, shackled as well, struggling to get out]
- Shrek: Fiona! [Shrek and Fiona rushed to each other, but the weight of the shackles and chains held them back. They tried breaking free from them to no avail, and Rumpelstiltskin only cackled maniacally as he watched the two ogres struggle to reach each other in failed attempts to his pure wicked amusement] Stiltstkin, we have a deal! You agreed to free all ogres!
- Rumpelstiltskin: [uncaring tone] Oh, yeah. But Fiona isn't all ogre, [slyly] is she? [He gave a smug, evil smirk. Shrek's face faltered as he looked over at Fiona worryingly.] By day, one way, by night, another. Blardy, blardy, blar. Ha-ha! [He skipped merrily out of the room in triumph and more triumphantly] Nobody's smart but me! [He and the laughing witches left the room, closing the doors and leaving the two prisoners alone. Shrek gave a solemn sad look]
- Princess Fiona: That was a really brave thing you did, Shrek. Thank you.
- Shrek: [sullenly] No, you were right. I wasn't there for you, and not just at the dragon's keep, but... everyday since.
- Princess Fiona: [smiles softly] Well, you're here now. [Long pause; Shrek grins at Princess Fiona]
- Donkey: Let go off me! I have to save Shrek!
- Gretched: DON'T BE A FOOL, MULE!
- [During the main event]
- Donkey: ♪ Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall. All you've got to do is call. ♪ [Rumpelstiltskin and the witches hear and spot him on top of the new hanging chandelier ball] ♪ And I'll be there. Yeah, yeah, yeah! ♪
- Shrek: Donkey?
- Donkey: And Puss!
- Puss in Boots: [descends down the chandelier ball's rope, now wearing his boots, belt, hat and cape] In Boots!
- Princess Fiona: Shrek?
- Rumpelstiltskin: His day is up! His day is... [Cookie restrains Rumpel]
- Princess Fiona: Shrek.
- Shrek: It’s all right. [Donkey, Puss, and the other ogres watch sadly]
- Princess Fiona: There has to be something I can do.
- Shrek: You've already done everything for me Fiona. You gave me a home and a family.
- Princess Fiona: You have kids?
- Shrek: We have kids. Fergus, Farkle, and a little girl named Felicia.
- Princess Fiona: Felicia. I've always wanted to have a daughter named Felicia.
- Shrek: And someday... you will. You know what the best part of today was? I got the chance to fall in love with you all over again.
- Puss in Boots: Fiona, the sunrise. You're still an ogre.
- Princess Fiona: True love's form.
- Rumpelstiltskin: Impossible!
- Princess Fiona: The kiss worked.
- [Suddenly the wind began blasting and brushing by everyone, also knocking Puss's hat off his head. Everyone looked up and saw the magic golden light that brought Shrek here begin to eat away at Rumpelstiltskin's castle like mad. All bricks, shingles and other material of the castle were sucked away in a magical tornado.]
- Rumpelstiltskin: What!
- [Then, one by one, each witch and ogre began to puff away into puffs of yellow smoke. Cookie and Brogan quickly vanished, dropping Rumpelstiltskin, and he then saw Fifi vanish in a puff of smoke as well.]
- Rumpelstiltskin: Fifi!
- [Then Donkey and Puss were the next to vanish.]
- Princess Fiona: Puss!
- [Then Fiona vanished next. The horrified Rumpelstiltskin, the only one remaining, twisted in circles in place while shouting in alarm as his whole world around him was tearing away and disappearing.]
- Rumpelstiltskin: No! No, no, no, no, no! I'm not ready! No! Wait!
- [Then the floor under him, the only thing remaining, crackled away and he began falling down into an abyss of pure golden light while screaming out loud in horror, before everything went black for him.]
- [last lines]
- Princess Fiona: Shrek, are you okay?
- Shrek: [turned to see Fiona, the way she was before signing his life away. He removed the party hat and went up to hug his wife.] Oh, Fiona. I've never been better.
- [Fiona smiled warmly, and the parents then heard their kids playfully roaring.]
- Shrek: Happy Birthday, Farkle. Fergus, my little man! And Felicia, sweetheart. I believe this is yours.
- Felicia: Thank you, Daddy.
- Shrek: [hugs his children] Aww!
- Donkey: Hey, Uncle Shrek, how about give my babies an encore!
- Puss in Boots: Please, señor, let us have it!
- [The others insisted eagerly. However, instead of a roar, Shrek held his nose and blew a toot threw his ears. Then, all three of his babies held their noses and blew smaller toots through their ears. As their friends applauded and Puss waved a little yellow flag, Fiona was astounded.]
- Princess Fiona: I didn't know we can do that!
- Donkey: That’s my best friend!
- Shrek: You know, I always thought I rescued you from the Dragon's Keep.
- Princess Fiona: You did.
- Shrek: No. It was you that rescued me.
- [Fiona beams, before the two share a kiss]
