Shrek Forever After Page #3

Synopsis: Long-settled into married life and fully domesticated, Shrek (Mike Myers) begins to long for the days when he felt like a real ogre. Duped into signing a contract with devious Rumpelstiltskin, he finds himself in an alternate version of Far Far Away, where ogres are hunted, Rumpelstiltskin rules, and he and Fiona (Cameron Diaz) have never met. Shrek must find a way out of the contract to restore his world and reclaim his true love.

Fiona:
(calls out) Outhouse again!

He winced. Then, another day, we see Shrek trying to fit the shoe onto Farkle.

Shrek:
Come on.

His son then kicked him in the chin. Next, we see instances of the babies drinking and belching, and of Shrek throwing a diaper away in the pale in the Winter, on a rainy day, and in the Spring. One day, the tourist chariot returned, knocking the outhouse over while Shrek was on the john.

Tour Guide:
(through megaphone) Undies!

When it was playdate time, Shrek just stood frozen in the middle of the chaos that was the Dronkeys and ogres rough-housing, and one of the Dronkeys breathing fire. Then, he tried for the pit again, but didn't make it very far when Fiona's voice called out.

Fiona's Voice:
Outhouse!

He walked back in annoyance. We then see the babies bouncing in bed with Felicia hitting her dad softly with her toy, but Shrek was lying on the floor and did not make any motion.

Felicia:
Get up, get up!

Finally, it was the dinner/story portion of the seemingly repetitive cycle.

Puss:
And they lived…

Donkey:
Happily…

Fiona:
Ever…

Shrek:
(monotone) After.

Later, everyone was asleep, all except for Shrek, who was awake by all the same routine everyday. He rubbed his face with his hands, sighing a bit. He looked at Fiona, sound asleep, before getting up and walking to a dresser. There, he opened up a drawer with a folded up piece of paper inside. He unfolded it, revealing it to be an old Wanted poster of him back from before he met Donkey, rescued Fiona and all his other adventures happened. He looked glum, not feeling as if he was a real ogre anymore. He hung the poster up on the corner of the mirror, and then he looked at the mirror, trying to see if he had any of it inside him.

Shrek:
(softly) Roar. Roooooooaaaarr.

It was no use though, he didn't even scare himself. He hanged his head, feeling his days as an ogre were truly gone. The next day, he looked uneasy as he, his family and Donkey were riding Dragon, with Puss at the edge, playing "King of the World", and the Dronkeys were flying at her side, as the song "Isn't It Strange" by Scissor Sisters played. Shrek was carrying a back case full of baby supplies on his back. The babies whooped and laughed with excitement as Dragon soared through the clouds. The wind then pushed Puss back towards Donkey, and Felicia pulled on one Dronkey's tail, making her unintentionally shoot out flames at her brother's tail. He yelped and glared at his sister, thinking it was on purpose, before chasing her. He breathed fire at her, almost hitting her and barely blackening Shrek's snout.

The group then arrived in Far Far Away, passing the kingdom's Hollywood-like sign, and came down for a landing near the Candy Apple (formerly known as the Poison Apple until the villains reformed), and everyone was unloading their baggage and getting off the dragon.

Donkey:
Nice landing, honey.

He and his wife kiss.

Donkey:
And remember, no eating the valet.

Fiona then placed each of her babies on a Dronkey, and they were flown around for fun. As Puss carried a whole stack of presents for the triplets, since it was their birthday, Shrek was carrying down a fold-out three-in-one stroller.

Puss:
Happy Birthday, ninos! Vamos a la fiesta!

He set the three-in-one stroller down and tried unfolding them in frustration, but was having trouble. Then, to his further annoyance, some villagers ran over to him with pitchforks and torches, but not the way people used to. In fact, they were grinning.

Villagers:
Hey, Shrek! Shrek!

Villager 1:
(holds up his pitchfork's handle) Mr. Shrek, will you sign our pitchforks?

Villager 2:
(holds up his torch) And our torches?

Shrek quickly dodged the torch as it nearly touched him.

Villager 3:
Man, you used to be so fierce!

Villager 2:
Yeah, when you were a real ogre.

Shrek:
(Puzzled) A "real" ogre?

He did not like what that villager was implying.

A bit later, inside, Pinocchio was dancing on a stage in front of four animatronics.

Pinocchio:
(singing) Happy Birthday Bash! No more diaper rash! One year older, not a pain Friends still remain the same, refrain. Super duper, party pooper! Birthday, birthday, birthday bash! Birthday, birthday, birthday bash!

Then everyone else inside, minus Shrek, who was holding Felicia and Fergus, sang along.

(Crowd):
(Everyone except for Shrek) Birthday Bash! Dah-dah-dah-dah-dah!

All those who sang laughed and cheered, and Farkle imitated Pinocchio's dancing a bit. Donkey noticed Shrek not singing, laughing or cheering.

Donkey:
Come on Shrek, it’s a sing-along. You’ve got to sing along!

Shrek (Annoyed) No, thanks.

Donkey:
(Giving a sweet grin at Shrek) Please? I’ll be your best friend.

Shrek:
Since when does being your best friend entail me to do everything I don’t want to do?

As he talked, Felicia squeaked her toy right in her father's ear.

Shrek:
(Puts Felicia's toy down and talks to her Softly) Please, Felicia, not in daddy's ear.

Then a father tapped Shrek on the shoulder.

Butterpants's Father: Excuse me, Mr. Shrek? Could you do that ogre roar of yours for my son? He’s a big, big fan.

Next to him stood his son, a chubby little boy with a grumpy-looking straight face and lollipop in his fist.

Butterpants:
Do the roar.

Shrek:
You know, I’d rather not, it’s my kids’ birthday party and-

Butter Pants:
Do the roar.

Shrek then starts to frown his smile while looking at Butterpants. Fiona then came by and took Fergus off Shrek to hold him for a little bit.

Fiona:
(Picks up Felicia out of Shrek's arms and holds Her) Honey? Why don't you go check on the cake?

Shrek:
(Annoyed) Sure.

He went to go check on the birthday cake.

Fiona:
And don’t forget the candles.

Shrek sighs deeply. At the kitchen area, the Muffin Man was finishing putting some decoration on Gingy's legs.

Muffin Man:
Hold still.

Once Gingy was done, he stood up with his legs frosted, appearing to look like chaps and he even wore a cowboy hat made of frosting to boot.

Gingy:
Thanks for the pants, Muffin Man. I always wanted chaps! (prances around) Yee-haw! Giddy up!

Shrek then arrived at the counter.

Muffin Man:
(grins) Ah, Monsieur Shrek.

Gingy:
Howdy, Shrek!

The baker then got out a tray holding a frosted cake, decorated with a cutesy grinning ogre head with candy corn for teeth.

Muffin Man:
Your cake. Voila!

Shrek was appalled by the cake.

Shrek:
(Disgusted) What is that supposed to be?

Gingy:
That’s Sprinkles the Ogre!

Doris, wearing party service clothes, and picking up some plates, spoke.

Doris:
Isn’t he cute? He looks just like you.

Donkey:
Except happy. It’s a party, Shrek. You gotta cheer up!

Shrek, still feeling bitter, started carrying the cake away.

Shrek:
(Through his teeth) I’m in a great mood, actually.

Donkey:
(Excitedly) Oh, I’m gonna lick me a rainbow!

So he licked the cake.

Shrek:
Donkey!

Then Butterpants and his father appeared next to him again.
