Intro lines NARRATOR: Once upon a time in a kingdom far, far away, the king and queen were blessed with a beautiful baby girl. And throughout the land, everyone was happy, until the sun went down and they saw that their daughter was cursed with a frightful enchantment that took hold each and every night. Desperate, they sought the help of a Fairy Godmother who had them lock the young princess away in a tower, there to await the kiss of the handsome Prince Charming. It was he who would chance the perilous journey through blistering cold and scorching desert traveling for many days and nights, risking life and limb to reach the Dragon's keep.

PRINCE CHARMING: In all the land. And it was destiny that his kiss would break the dreaded curse. NARRATOR: He alone would climb to the highest room of the tallest tower to enter the princess's chambers, cross the room to her sleeping silhouette, pull back the gossamer curtains to find her.
WOLF: What?
PRINCE CHARMING: Princess Fiona?
WOLF: No!
PRINCE CHARMING: Oh, thank heavens. Where is she?
WOLF: She's on her honeymoon.
PRINCE CHARMING: Honeymoon? With whom?
SHREK: It's so good to be home! Just you and me and.
DONKEY: Two can be as bad as one.
SHREK: Donkey?
DONKEY: Shrek! Fiona! Aren't you two a sight for sore eyes! Give us a hug, Shrek, you old love machine. And look at you, Mrs. Shrek. How 'bout a side of sugar for the steed?
SHREK: Donkey, what are you doing here?
DONKEY: Taking care of your love nest for you.
SHREK: Oh, you mean like sorting the mail and watering the plants?
DONKEY: Yeah, and feeding the fish!
SHREK: I don't have any fish.
DONKEY: You do now. I call that one Shrek and the other Fiona. That Shrek is a rascally devil. Get your.
SHREK: Look at the time. I guess you'd better be going.
DONKEY: Don't you want to tell me about your trip? Or how about a game of Parcheesi?
FIONA: Actually, Donkey? Shouldn't you be getting home to Dragon?
DONKEY: Oh, yeah, that. I don't know. She's been all moody and stuff lately. I thought I'd move in with you.
FIONA: You know we're always happy to see you, Donkey.
SHREK: But Fiona and I are married now. We need a little time, you know, to be together. Just with each other. Alone.
DONKEY: Say no more. You don't have to worry about a thing. I will always be here to make sure nobody bothers you.
SHREK: Donkey!
DONKEY: Yes, roomie?
SHREK: You're bothering me.
DONKEY: Oh, OK. All right, cool. I guess. Me and Pinocchio was going to catch a tournament, anyway, so. Maybe I'll see y'all Sunday for a barbecue or something.
SHREK: He'll be fine. Now, where were we? Oh. I think I remember. Donkey!
DONKEY: I know, I know! Alone! I'm going! I'm going. What do you want me to tell these other guys?
HERALD: Enough, Reggie. Dearest Princess Fiona. You are hereby summoned to the Kingdom of Far, Far Away for a royal ball in celebration of your marriage at which time the King will bestow his royal blessing upon you and your, uh! Prince Charming.
Love, the King and Queen of Far, Far Away. Aka Mom and Dad.
FIONA: Mom and Dad?
SHREK: Prince Charming?
DONKEY: Royal ball? Can I come?
SHREK: We're not going.
FIONA: What?
SHREK: I mean, don't you think they might be a bit shocked to see you like this?
FIONA: Well, they might be a bit surprised. But they're my parents, Shrek. They love me.And don't worry. They'll love you, too.
SHREK: Yeah, right. Somehow I don't think I'll be welcome at the country club.
FIONA: Stop it. They're not like that.
SHREK: How do you explain Sergeant Pompous and the Fancy Pants Club Band?
FIONA: Oh, come on! You could at least give them a chance.
SHREK: To do what? Sharpen their pitchforks?
FIONA: No! They just want to give you their blessing.
SHREK: Oh, great. Now I need their blessing?
FIONA: If you want to be a part of this family, yes!
SHREK: Who says I want to be part of this family?
FIONA: You did! When you married me!
SHREK: Well, there's some fine print for you!
FIONA: So that's it. You won't come?
SHREK: Trust me. It's a bad idea. We are not going! And that's final!
DONKEY: Come on! We don't want to hit traffic!
GINGERBREAD MAN: Don't worry! We'll take care of everything.
