Shrek 2 Script
[man's voice] 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. [horse whinnies]
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.
[crows caw]
For he was the bravest,
and most handsome...
in all the land.
And it was destiny that his kiss
would break the dreaded curse.
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... [gasps]
What?
- Princess... Fiona?
- No!
[sighs relief] Oh, thank heavens.
Where is she?
- She's on her honeymoon.
- Honeymoon? With whom?
- She's on her honeymoon.
- Honeymoon? With whom?
[ Counting Crows: Accidentally In Love] So she said
what's the problem, baby?
What's the problem?
I don't know
Well, maybe I'm in love
Think about it
every time I think 'bout it
Can't stop thinking 'bout it
How much longer
will it take to cure this?
Just to cure it,
'cause I can't ignore it
If it's love, love
Makes me wanna turn around
and face me
But I don't know nothing
'bout love
Oh, come on, come on
- [screams]
- Turn a little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
Everybody's after love
So I said
I'm a snowball running
Running down into this spring
that's coming all this love
Melting under blue skies
belting out sunlight
Shimmering love
Well, baby, I surrender
To the strawberry ice cream
Never ever end of all this love
Well, I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love
These lines of lightning
mean we're never alone
Never alone, no, no
Come on, come on
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once upon a time in love Hyah!
We're accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally
I'm in love, I'm in love,
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
Accidentally in love
I'm in love
I'm in love
It's so good to be home!
- [distant singing]
- [giggling]
Just you and me and...
[Donkey sings]
- Two can be as bad as one...
- Donkey?
Shrek! Fiona! Aren't you two
a sight for sore eyes!
Give us a hug, Shrek,
you old love machine.
[chuckles]
And look at you, Mrs. Shrek.
How 'bout a side of sugar for the steed? Donkey, what are you doing here? Taking care of your love nest for you. Oh, you mean like... sorting the mail and watering the plants?
- Yeah, and feeding the fish!
- I don't have any fish.
You do now. I call that one Shrek
and the other Fiona.
That Shrek is a rascally devil.
Get your...
Look at the time.
I guess you'd better be going.
Don't you want to tell me about your trip? Or how about a game of Parcheesi? Actually, Donkey? Shouldn't you be getting home to Dragon?
Oh, yeah, that.
I don't know.
She's been all moody and stuff lately.
I thought I'd move in with you.
You know we're always happy
to see you, Donkey.
But Fiona and I are married now.
We need a little time, you know,
to be together.
Just with each other.
Alone.
Say no more.
You don't have to worry about a thing.
I will always be here to make sure nobody bothers you.
- Donkey!
- Yes, roomie?
You're bothering me.
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.
He'll be fine.
Now, where were we?
[giggles] Oh.
I think I remember.
- Donkey!
- [Fiona yelps]
I know, I know! Alone!
I'm going! I'm going.
What do you want me
to tell these other guys?
[fanfare]
[ theme to Hawaii Five-O]
Enough, Reggie.
[clears throat] "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."
Mom and Dad?
- Prince Charming?
- Royal ball? Can I come?
- We're not going.
- [both] What?
I mean, don't you think
they might be a bit...
shocked to see you like this? [chuckles] 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.
Yeah, right.
Somehow I don't think I'll be welcome at the country club.
Stop it.
They're not like that.
How do you explain Sergeant Pompous and the Fancy Pants Club Band?
Oh, come on! You could at least
give them a chance.
To do what?
Sharpen their pitchforks?
No! They just want
to give you their blessing.
Oh, great.
Now I need their blessing?
If you want to be a part
of this family, yes!
Who says I want
to be part of this family?
You did!
When you married me!
Well, there's some fine print for you! [exasperated sigh]
So that's it. You won't come?
Trust me. It's a bad idea.
We are not going! And that's final! Come on!
We don't want to hit traffic!
[Gingy] Don't worry!
We'll take care of everything.
[all cheer]
- Hey, wait for me. Oof!
- [glass breaks]
[sighs]
[ Chic: Le Freak]
Hit it! Move 'em on! Head 'em up! Head 'em up, move 'em on! Head 'em up!
Rawhide! Move 'em on!
Head 'em up!
Move 'em on! Move 'em on!
Head 'em up! Rawhide!
Ride 'em up! Move 'em on!
Head 'em up! Move 'em on! Rawhide!
Knock 'em out! Pound 'em dead! Make 'em tea! Buy 'em drinks!
Meet their mamas!
Milk 'em hard!
Rawhide!
Yee-haw!

- Finally!
This is taking forever, Shrek.
There's no in-flight movie or nothing! The Kingdom of Far, Far Away, Donkey. That's where we're going.
Far, far...
[softly] away!
All right, all right, I get it.
I'm just so darn bored.
Well, find a way
to entertain yourself.
[sighs]
[deep sigh]
[clicks tongue]
[popping]
- [popping]
- [exasperated sigh]
For five minutes...
Could you not be yourself... [shouts]... for five minutes!
- [popping]
- [shrieks]
Are we there yet?
- [chuckles] Yes!
- Oh, finally!
[fanfare]
[ Lipps, Inc: Funkytown]
Wow!
It's going to be champagne wishes
and caviar dreams from now on. Hey, good-looking!
We'll be back to pick you up later!
Gotta make a move
to a town that's right for me
We are definitely not
in the swamp anymore.
[whistle] Halt!
Well, I talk about it, talk about it, talk about it, talk about it
Hey, everyone, look.
Talk about, talk about movin'... Hey, ladies! Nice day for a parade, huh? You working that hat.
[Donkey] Swimming pools!
Movie stars!
[cheering]
[applause]
[fanfare]
Announcing the long-awaited return
of the beautiful Princess Fiona
and her new husband.
Well, this is it.
- This is it.
- This is it.
This is it.
[fanfare]
[fanfare and cheering stop] [gasps]
[tweeting]
[baby wails]
Uh... why don't you guys go ahead?
I'll park the car.
[chuckles] So...
you still think
this was a good idea?
Of course! Look.
Mom and Dad look happy to see us.
- [softly] Who on earth are they?
- [softly] I think that's our little girl. That's not little!
That's a really big problem.
Wasn't she supposed to kiss
Prince Charming and break the spell? Well, he's no Prince Charming,
but they do look...
[softly] Happy now?
We came. We saw them.
Now let's go before
they light the torches.
- They're my parents.
- Hello? They locked you in a tower. That was for my own...
Good! Here's our chance. Let's go
back inside and pretend we're not home. Harold, we have to be...
- [Donkey] Are we there yet?
- [Shrek] No.
- [Donkey] Are we there yet?
- [Fiona] Not yet.

Quick! While they're not looking
we can make a run for it.
Shrek, stop it!
Everything's gonna be...
A disaster! There is no way...
- You can do this.
- I really...
- Really...
- don't... want... to... be...
Here!
Mom... Dad...
I'd like you to meet my husband... Shrek.
Well, um...
It's easy to see where Fiona
gets her good looks from.
[chuckles nervously]
[gulps]
[belches]
- Excuse me.
- [Shrek & Fiona laugh]
Better out than in,
I always say, eh, Fiona?
[both giggle]
[Shrek] That's good.
I guess not.
What do you mean, "not on the list"? Don't tell me you don't know who I am. What do you mean, "not on the list"? Don't tell me you don't know who I am. What's happening, everybody?
Thanks for waiting.
- I had the hardest time finding this place. - No! No! Bad donkey! Bad! Down! No, Dad! It's all right.
It's all right. He's with us.
- He helped rescue me from the dragon. - That's me: the noble steed.
Waiter!
How 'bout a bowl for the steed?
Oh, boy.
[slurps]
- Um, Shrek?
- Yeah?
Oh, sorry!
Great soup, Mrs Q.
Mmm!
No, no. Darling.
[chuckles nervously] Oh!
So, Fiona, tell us
about where you live.
Well...
Shrek owns his own land.
- Don't you, honey?
- Oh, yes!
It's in an enchanted forest
abundant in squirrels
and cute little duckies and... [laughing] What?
I know you ain't
talking about the swamp.
An ogre from a swamp.
Oh! How original.
I suppose that would be a fine place
to raise the children.
- [splutters]
- [chokes]
It's a bit early to be
thinking about that, isn't it?
- Indeed. I just started eating.
- Harold!
- What's that supposed to mean?
- Dad. It's great, OK?
- For his type, yes.
- My type?
I got to go to the bathroom.
- Dinner is served!
- Never mind. I can hold it.
Bon appetit!
Oh, Mexican food!
My favorite.
Let's not sit here with our tummies rumbling. Everybody dig in.
Don't mind if I do, Lillian.
I suppose any grandchildren
I could expect from you would be... Ogres, yes!
Not that there's anything wrong with that. Right, Harold?
Oh, no! No! Of course, not!
That is, assuming you don't
eat your own young!
Dad!
No, we usually prefer the ones
who've been locked away in a tower!
- Shrek, please!
- I only did that because I love her.
Aye, day care
or dragon-guarded castle.
You wouldn't understand.
You're not her father!
It's so nice to have the family
together for dinner.
- Harold!
- Shrek!
- Fiona!
- Fiona!
- Mom!
- Harold...
Donkey!
[glissando]
Your fallen tears have called to me
So, here comes my sweet remedy
I know what every princess needs
For her to live life happily...
[both gasp]

[dog barks]
Oh! You got a puppy?
All I got in my room was shampoo.
Oh, uh...
Fairy Godmother, furniture...
[giggles]
I'd like you to meet my husband, Shrek. Your husband? What? What did you say? When did this happen?
Shrek is the one who rescued me.
- But that can't be right.
- Oh, great, more relatives!
She's just trying to help.
Good! She can help us pack.
Get your coat, dear. We're leaving.
- What?
- I don't want to leave.
When did you decide this?
- Shortly after arriving.
- Look, I'm sorry...
No, that's all right.
I need to go, anyway.
But remember, dear.
If you should ever need me... happiness...
is just a teardrop away.
Thanks, but we've got all
the happiness we need.
Happy, happy, happy...
[laughs] So I see.
Let's go, Kyle.
- Very nice, Shrek.
- What?
I told you coming here was a bad idea. You could've at least tried
to get along with my father.
I don't think I was going to get
Daddy's blessing,
even if I did want it.
Do you think it might be nice
if somebody asked me what I wanted? Sure. Do you want me
to pack for you?
You're unbelievable!
You're behaving like a...
- Go on! Say it!
- Like an ogre!
Here's a news flash for you!
Whether your parents like it or not...
I am an ogre!
