FIONA:

Now, hold on.

SHREK:

What you're doing is the opposite of

help.

FIONA:

Don't move.

SHREK:

Look, time out.

FIONA:

Would you...(grunts as Shrek puts his

hand over her face to stop her from

getting at the arrow) Okay. What do

you propose we do?

ELSEWHERE:

Donkey is still looking for the special flower.

DONKEY:

Blue flower, red thorns. Blue flower,

red thorns. Blue flower, red thorns.

This would be so much easier if I wasn't

color-blind! Blue flower, red thorns.

SHREK:

(os) Ow!

DONKEY:

Hold on, Shrek! I'm comin'! (rips a

flower off a nearby bush that just happens

to be a blue flower with red thorns)

THE FOREST PATH:

SHREK:

Ow! Not good.

FIONA:

Okay. Okay. I can nearly see the head.

(Shrek grunts as she pulls) It's just

about...

SHREK:

Ow! Ohh! (he jerks and manages to fall

over with Fiona on top of him)

DONKEY:

Ahem.

SHREK:

(throwing Fiona off of him) Nothing

happend. We were just, uh - -

DONKEY:

Look, if you wanted to be alone, all

you had to do was ask. Okay?

SHREK:

Oh, come on! That's the last thing on

my mind. The princess here was just-

- (Fiona pulls the arrow out) Ugh! (he

turns to look at Fiona who holds up

the arrow with a smile) Ow!

DONKEY:

Hey, what's that? (nervous chuckle)

That's...is that blood?

Donkey faints. Shrek walks over and picks him up as they continue

on their way.

There is a montage of scenes as the group heads back to DuLoc.

Shrek crawling up to the top of a tree to make it fall over a

small brook so that Fiona won't get wet. Shrek then gets up as

Donkey is just about to cross the tree and the tree swings back

into it's upright position and Donkey flies off. Shrek swatting

and a bunch of flies and mosquitoes. Fiona grabs a nearby spiderweb

that's on a tree branch and runs through the field swinging it

around to catch the bugs. She then hands it to Shrek who begins

eating like it's a treat. As he walks off she licks her fingers.

Shrek catching a toad and blowing it up like a balloon and presenting

it to Fiona. Fiona catching a snake, blowing it up, fashioning

it into a balloon animal and presenting it to Shrek. The group

arriving at a windmill that is near DuLoc.

WINDMILL:

SHREK:

There it is, Princess. Your future awaits

you.

FIONA:

That's DuLoc?

DONKEY:

Yeah, I know. You know, Shrek thinks

Lord Farquaad's compensating for something,

which I think means he has a really...(Shrek

steps on his hoof) Ow!

SHREK:

Um, I, uh- - I guess we better move

on.

FIONA:

Sure. But, Shrek? I'm - - I'm worried

about Donkey.

SHREK:

What?

FIONA:

I mean, look at him. He doesn't look

so good.

DONKEY:

What are you talking about? I'm fine.

FIONA:

(kneels to look him in the eyes) That's

what they always say, and then next

thing you know, you're on your back.

(pause) Dead.

SHREK:

You know, she's right. You look awful.

Do you want to sit down?

FIONA:

Uh, you know, I'll make you some tea.

DONKEY:

I didn't want to say nothin', but I

got this twinge in my neck, and when

I turn my head like this, look, (turns

his neck in a very sharp way until his

head is completely sideways) Ow! See?

SHREK:

Who's hungry? I'll find us some dinner.

FIONA:

I'll get the firewood.

DONKEY:

Hey, where you goin'? Oh, man, I can't

feel my toes! (looks down and yelps)

I don't have any toes! I think I need

a hug.

SUNSET:

Shrek has built a fire and is cooking the rest of dinner while

Fiona eats.

FIONA:

Mmm. This is good. This is really good.

What is this?

SHREK:

Uh, weed rat. Rotisserie style.
