FIONA:

No kidding. Well, this is delicious.

SHREK:

Well, they're also great in stews. Now,

I don't mean to brag, but I make a mean

weed rat stew. (chuckles)

Fiona looks at DuLoc and sighs.

FIONA:

I guess I'll be dining a little differently

tomorrow night.

SHREK:

Maybe you can come visit me in the swamp

sometime. I'll cook all kind of stuff

for you. Swamp toad soup, fish eye tartare

- - you name it.

FIONA:

(smiles) I'd like that.

They smiles at each other.

SHREK:

Um, Princess?

FIONA:

Yes, Shrek?

SHREK:

I, um, I was wondering...are you...(sighs)

Are you gonna eat that?

DONKEY:

(chuckles) Man, isn't this romantic?

Just look at that sunset.

FIONA:

(jumps up) Sunset? Oh, no! I mean, it's

late. I-It's very late.

SHREK:

What?

DONKEY:

Wait a minute. I see what's goin' on

here. You're afraid of the dark, aren't

you?

FIONA:

Yes! Yes, that's it. I'm terrified.

You know, I'd better go inside.

DONKEY:

Don't feel bad, Princess. I used to

be afraid of the dark, too, until -

- Hey, no, wait. I'm still afraid of

the dark.

Shrek sighs

FIONA:

Good night.

SHREK:

Good night.

Fiona goes inside the windmill and closes the door. Donkey looks

at Shrek with a new eye.

DONKEY:

Ohh! Now I really see what's goin' on

here.

SHREK:

Oh, what are you talkin' about?

DONKEY:

I don't even wanna hear it. Look, I'm

an animal, and I got instincts. And

I know you two were diggin' on each

other. I could feel it.

SHREK:

You're crazy. I'm just bringing her

back to Farquaad.

DONKEY:

Oh, come on, Shrek. Wake up and smell

the pheromones. Just go on in and tell

her how you feel.

SHREK:

I- - There's nothing to tell. Besides,

even if I did tell her that, well, you

know - - and I'm not sayin' I do 'cause

I don't - - she's a princess, and I'm

- -

DONKEY:

An ogre?

SHREK:

Yeah. An ogre.

DONKEY:

Hey, where you goin'?

SHREK:

To get... move firewood. (sighs)

Donkey looks over at the large pile of firewood there already

is.

TIME LAPSE:

Donkey opens the door to the Windmill and walks in. Fiona is

nowhere to be seen.

DONKEY:

Princess? Princess Fiona? Princess,

where are you? Princess?

Fiona looks at Donkey from the shadows, but we can't see her.

DONKEY:

It's very spooky in here. I ain't playing

no games.

Suddenly Fiona falls from the railing. She gets up only she doesn't

look like herself. She looks like an ogre and Donkey starts freaking

out.

DONKEY:

Aah!

FIONA:

Oh, no!

DONKEY:

No, help!

FIONA:

Shh!

DONKEY:

Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!

FIONA:

No, it's okay. It's okay.

DONKEY:

What did you do with the princess?

FIONA:

Donkey, I'm the princess.

DONKEY:

Aah!

FIONA:

It's me, in this body.

DONKEY:

Oh, my God! You ate the princess. (to

her stomach) Can you hear me?

FIONA:

Donkey!

DONKEY:

(still aimed at her stomach) Listen,

keep breathing! I'll get you out of

there!

FIONA:

No!

DONKEY:

Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!

FIONA:

Shh.

DONKEY:

Shrek!
