FIONA:

Shrek!

FARQUAAD:

This hocus-pocus alters nothing. This

marriage is binding, and that makes

me king! See? See?

FIONA:

No, let go of me! Shrek!

SHREK:

No!

FARQUAAD:

Don't just stand there, you morons.

SHREK:

Get out of my way! Fiona! Arrgh!

FARQUAAD:

I'll make you regret the day we met.

I'll see you drawn and quartered! You'll

beg for death to save you!

FIONA:

No, Shrek!

FARQUAAD:

(hold a dagger to Fiona's throat) And

as for you, my wife...

SHREK:

Fiona!

FARQUAAD:

I'll have you locked back in that tower

for the rest of your days! I'm king!

Shrek manages to get a hand free and he whistles.

FARQUAAD:

I will have order! I will have perfection!

I will have - - (Donkey and the dragon

show up and the dragon leans down and

eats Farquaad) Aaaah! Aah!

DONKEY:

All right. Nobody move. I got a dragon

here, and I'm not afraid to use it.

(The dragon roars.) I'm a donkey on

the edge!

The dragon belches and Farquaad's crown flies out of her mouth

and falls to the ground.

DONKEY:

Celebrity marriages. They never last,

do they?

The congregation cheers.

DONKEY:

Go ahead, Shrek.

SHREK:

Uh, Fiona?

FIONA:

Yes, Shrek?

SHREK:

I - - I love you.

FIONA:

Really?

SHREK:

Really, really.

FIONA:

(smiles) I love you too.

Shrek and Fiona kiss. Thelonius takes one of the cards and writes

'Awwww' on the back and then shows it to the congregation.

CONGREGATION:

Aawww!

Suddenly the magic of the spell pulls Fiona away. She's lifted

up into the air and she hovers there while the magic works around

her.

WHISPERS:

"Until you find true love's first kiss

and then take love's true form. Take

love's true form. Take love's true form."

Suddenly Fiona's eyes open wide. She's consumed by the spell

and then is slowly lowered to the ground.

SHREK:

(going over to her) Fiona? Fiona. Are

you all right?

FIONA:

(standing up, she's still an ogre) Well,

yes. But I don't understand. I'm supposed

to be beautiful.

SHREK:

But you ARE beautiful.

They smile at each other.

DONKEY:

(chuckles) I was hoping this would be

a happy ending.

Shrek and Fiona kiss...and the kiss fades into...

THE SWAMP:

...their wedding kiss. Shrek and Fiona are now married. 'I'm

a Believer' by Smashmouth is played in the background. Shrek

and Fiona break apart and run through the crowd to their awaiting

carriage. Which is made of a giant onion. Fiona tosses her bouquet

which both Cinderella and Snow White try to catch. But they end

up getting into a cat fight and so the dragon catches the bouquet

instead. The Gingerbread man has been mended somewhat and now

has one leg and walks with a candy cane cane. Shrek and Fiona

walk off as the rest of the guests party and Donkey takes over

singing the song.

GINGERBREAD MAN:

God bless us, every one.

DONKEY:

(as he's done singing and we fade to

black) Oh, that's funny. Oh. Oh. I can't

breathe. I can't breathe.
