Shrek the Musical Page #8

Yeah

Mm. Mm!

These s'nothers are so good.

- Didn't I tell you?

- They're delicious.

- And a little nutty, right?

- Mm-hm.

I guess I'll be dining

a little differently tomorrow night.

Maybe you can come

visit me in the swamp sometime.

I'll cook all kinds of stuff for you.

Swamp Toad Soup, Fish Eye Tartar.

You name it.

I'd like that.

Shrek, I know you

can't hear me right now.

But if you could,

I'd want to say a few things to you.

I'm in your corner, buddy.

But you have got to tell this girl

what you're really feeling deep down.

You may not get another chance.

So just go on now.

Just open your heart and...

- Uh, Princess?

- Here we go.

- Yes, Shrek?

- He's gonna tell her.

- I, uh...

- Oh, I can't take this.

- Well, I was...

- Uh-huh.

- I was wondering...

- OK.

- I was wondering...

- Spit it out!

- Are you gonna eat that?

- Uh-uh! What is wrong with you?

You got to make a move

You gotta shift into gear

You gotta buckle down

and give it a whirl

The scene is set right out of a book

With a sunset and a beautiful girl

- So you got to

- Got to

- Got to

- Got to

- Got to

- Got to, yeah

- You got to make a move

- You got to

- You got to make a move now

- Got to

- You got to make a move

- Got to

- Move, yeah

- Make a move

You got to use the sunset

- What a beautiful sunset, baby

- Sunset, baby

You got to use the sunset, baby

Whoa, whoa

Yeah, you got to reach for the ring

You got to give it a shot

Grab the bull by the horns

or get off the pot

Whoo!

And make a move

Isn't this romantic?

Out in nature, with the fireflies,

and that big old beautiful sunset!

Sunset? Oh my gosh!

Sunset!

Oh, no! I mean, um...

- It's late. It's very late.

- What?

Wait a minute.

I see what's going on here.

You're afraid of the

dark, aren't you?

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

You know what? I'd better go inside.

Don't worry, I used to be

afraid of the dark, too, until...

Oh! No, wait.

I'm still afraid of the dark!

- I'm so sorry, I have to go.

- Oh. All right.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Uh-uh.

No, sir. I'm sorry,

but I did not come this whole way,

putting up with you

and your body odor,

just so you can let her

walk away like that!

- What are you talking about?

- I'm an animal, and I got instincts.

And you two were obviously

digging on each other.

Oh, you're crazy.

I'm just bringing her back to Farquaad.

So you don't have

any feelings for her at all?

Look, even if I did and

I'm not saying I do, because I don't.

She's a princess and I'm...

- An ogre?

- Yeah.

- An ogre.

- She needs to know.

- Hey, where you going?

- To get more wood,

before your fire dies.

Princess.

Princess Fiona.

Princess, where are you?

Princess, it's very spooky in here,

I ain't playing no games... Oh!

- No! Help! Shrek!

- Oh, no, no, no! It's OK!

- What'd you do with the princess?

- Donkey, I am the princess. It's me.

- In this body.

- Oh, my God. You ate the princess!

Can you hear me? Keep breathing!

I'll get you out of there!

Donkey!

Princess?

What happened to you?

"By day one way,

by night another,

this shall be the norm, until

you find true love's first kiss

and then take love's true form. "

That's beautiful.

I didn't know you wrote poetry.

Donkey, it's a curse.

I've had it since I was girl.

- A curse?

- A witch cast a spell on me.

Now every night, when the sun

goes down I become this...

...this horrible,

ugly beast!

All right, calm down,

you're not that ugly.

OK, I'm not gonna lie,

you are ugly,

but you only look like this at night.

Shrek's ugly 24/7.

- Wait a second, that's perfect!

- Perfect? Donkey,

if Lord Farquaad finds out I look

like this, he'll never marry me!

- So?

- So, I have to kiss my true love!

The kiss is the only thing that will

break the spell and make me beautiful.

But, you know,

you're kind of an ogre, and Shrek...

Well, you got a lot in common.

- Shrek?

- Yeah, if he knew all this,

- I think maybe...

- No, wait, wait, wait, he can't know.

And you can't tell him! Not a word!

No one must ever know!

- Promise you won't tell. Promise!

- All right, all right.

I won't tell him.

But you should.

Man, I know when

this is all over,

I'm gonna need a whole lot

of serious therapy.

Princess, I...

How's it going first of all?

Good?

Good for me, too. I'm OK.

Um...

I picked this flower

Right over there is where it grew

And I don't really like it

But it made me think of you

Because it's pretty

Is what I'm trying to say

And you are also pretty

But I like you anyway

So please accept this flower

With its petals and a stem

Which represent my feelings

And tells you how...

Oh, man, I'm in trouble.

When words fail, what will I do?

When words fail

How will she know how I feel?

When words fail, will I fail, too?

Hello, fair princess

Oh, look, the moon is out tonight

You remind me of that moon

Because it's big and bright

And by big I don't mean chubby

Obviously you're not fat

But your personality is biggish

Is what I meant by that

Sony about that fat thing

I'm on the hefty side myself

I have to blame the gene pool

Which reminds me of...

Oh, where am I going with this?

When words fail, what will I do?

When words fail

How will she know how I feel?

When words fail, will I fail, too?

Do I have a snowball's chance?

Are my prospects just too grim?

I spent my life stuck in the mud

Now I'm crawling out on a limb

If words fail,

she'll know what I mean

If words fail

She'll just take my hand

She sees me like no one else has

If words fail, she'll understand

She'll understand

I can't think about Shrek.

Not now.

I'm a princess after all,

and look at me!

I mean, really, who could ever

love a beast so hideous and ugly?

Princess and ugly don't go together.

That's why I can't stay here with Shrek.

My only chance to live happily ever

after is to marry my one true love.

Good morning, dawn

Good morning, day

Good morning, mourning dove

I had a long and sleepless night

pondering true love

My fairytale I know so well

has somehow gone awry

Looks can be deceiving

But feelings cannot lie

Do I love him?

Last night I was uncertain

But this morning, this morning

This morning...

Shrek, thank goodness!

There's something I

have to tell you...

You don't have to tell me anything.

I heard enough last night.

- You heard what I said?

- Every word.

Especially, "Who could love

such a hideous, ugly beast?"

But I thought

that wouldn't matter to you.

Yeah? Well, it does!

Oh...

Right on time. Princess,

I've brought you a little something.

Fiona! Fiona, Fiona

Fiona, Fiona, Fiona

Fiona, Fiona, Fiona

Fiona, Fiona!

Whoa, plastic horse.

He's plastic. He's hollow.

- Princess Fiona...

- As promised. Now about my swamp...

Cleared out, as agreed,

the deed has been put in your name.

Now step away before

I change my mind.

Forgive me, Princess,

for startling you.

- I am Lord Farquaad.

- Lord Farquaad.
