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.
