6 DONKEY: And this is what I realized- if we escape a dragon, then we could do anything. Man, I could be a steed. Or I could work the Crusades circuit if I wanted to. I could even be one of those horses who pull those wagons full of beer! I d need some hair extensions on my ankles, but I could do it. SHREK: I m not the one with the problem, okay? It s the world who seems to have a problem with me. You saw how that princess reacted. That s how it always is. People take one look at me and it s all, Aghhh! Help! A big stupid ugly ogre! They judge me before they even know me. That s why I m better off alone. FIONA: I can t think about Shrek. Not now. I m a princess after all, and look at me! I mean really... who could ever love a beast so hideous and ugly? Princess and ugly don t go together. That s why I can t stay here with Shrek. My only chance to live happily ever after is to marry my one true love. FARQUAAD: Princess Fiona? I am Lord Farquaad. What do you think? No, You re right, too formal. Fiona? Hi, Farquaad here, but you can call me Maximus, as I ve no doubt you will! Woof! No, to smutty. I always said I d be king and now look! Oo, that reminds me, how are the wedding preparations coming?
