Shrek 2

Shrek 2

The lovably ugly green ogre returns with his green bride and furry, hooved friend in Shrek 2. The newlywed Shrek and Princess Fiona are invited to Fiona's former kingdom, Far Far Away, to have the marriage blessed by Fiona's parents--which Shrek thinks is a bad, bad idea, and he's proved right: The parents are horrified by their daughter's transformation into an ogress, a fairy godmother wants her son Prince Charming to win Fiona, and a feline assassin is hired to get Shrek out of the way. The computer animation is more detailed than ever, but it's the acting that make the comedy work--in addition to the return of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz, Shrek 2 features the flexible voices of Julie Andrews (Mary Poppins), John Cleese (Monty Python's Flying Circus), Antonio Banderas (Desperado), and Jennifer Saunders (Absolutely Fabulous) as the gleefully wicked fairy godmother. --Bret Fetzer

In Summer 2004, They're Back for More.
Once Upon Another Time...
Not So Far, Far Away.

Shrek:
Fiona? Fiona? [barges into the room along with Donkey]

[The Fairy Godmother gasps at Shrek]

Donkey:
Oh, you got a puppy? All I got in my room was shampoo.

Fiona:
Oh, um, Fairy Godmother, furniture, I'd like you to meet my husband, Shrek.

Fairy Godmother:
[confused] Your husband? What did you say? When did this happen?

Fiona:
Shrek is the one who rescued me.

Fairy Godmother:
[angrily] But that can't be right!

Shrek:
Oh, great! More relatives!

Fiona:
She's just trying to help.

Shrek:
Good! She can help us pack. Get your coat, dear. We're leaving.

Fiona:
What?!

Donkey:
Leaving? I don't wanna leave.

Fiona:
When did you decide this?

Shrek:
[as he is packing] Shortly after arriving.

Fiona:
[remorsefully] Look, I'm sorry...

Fairy Godmother:
No, no, no, that's okay. I need to go anyway. But remember, dear, if you should ever need me, [whips out a "Happiness" business card] happiness is just a teardrop away.

Shrek:
[rudely snatches the "Happiness" card from the Fairy Godmother] Thanks, but we've got all the happiness we need. Happy, happy, happy...

Fairy Godmother:
So I see. [laughs in a not so good way] Let's go, Kyle. [Kyle whips the horses on the carriage and he and the Fairy Godmother leaves]

Fiona:
[sarcastically] Very nice, Shrek.

Shrek:
What? I told you that comin' here was a bad idea.

Fiona:
You could have at least tried to get along with my father.

Shrek:
You know, somehow, I don't think I was going to get daddy's blessing, even if I did want it.

Fiona:
[as a bichon Frise starts barks] Well, do you think it might be nice if somebody asked me what I wanted?

Shrek:
Sure. Do you want me to pack for you?!

Fiona:
You're unbelievable! You're behavin' like a... [sighs]

Shrek:
[to Fiona] Go on, say it!

Fiona:
Like an OGRE!

Shrek:
Well, here's a newsflash for you! Whether your parents like it or not, I AM AN OGRE! [a bichon Frise continues barks, Shrek angrily roars at it to shut up]

Donkey:
Wow. So this is ward to something smells like onions.

Shrek:
And guess what, princess. That's not about to change.

Fiona:
[sadly walks to the door] I've made changes for you, Shrek. Think about that. [leaves]

Donkey:
That's real smooth, Shrek. [mimics Shrek] "I'm an ogre! AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGHHH!!"

Puss:
[after attacking Shrek] Now, ye ogre! Pray for mercy from... [slashes "P" on the tree] Puss...in Boots!

Shrek:
[Growls in rage] I'll kill that cat!

Puss:
Ah-ha-ha! [He drops the sword, then starts heaving for a second, confusing Shrek and Donkey. Then spits out the hairball and coughs] [chuckles] Hairball.

Donkey:
Oh, that is nasty.

Shrek:
[picks up Puss by the back of the neck] What do you reckon we should do with him?

Donkey:
I say we take the sword and neuter him right here. Give him the Bob Barker treatment!

Puss:
[frightened] Oh, no! Por favor! Please! I implore you! It was nothing personal, Señor! I was doing it only for my family. My mother, she is sick. And my father lives off the garbage! The king offered me much in gold and I have a litter of brothers-

Shrek:
[covers his Puss' mouth with his Shrek's finger] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Fiona's father paid you to do this?

Puss:
The rich king? Sí. [Shrek drops Puss to the ground, Puss screeches]

Shrek:
[sighs] Well, so much for Dad's royal blessing.

Donkey:
Oh, come on, Shrek, don't feel bad. Almost everybody that meets you wants to kill you.

Shrek:
[sits on the rock] Gee, thanks. [looks down at the river reflection and sighs] Maybe Fiona would have been better off if I were some sort of Prince Charming.

Puss:
Sí, that's what the king said. [Donkey gives him a dirty look] Oh, uh...sorry. I thought that question was directed at me.

Donkey:
[walks over to Shrek] Shrek, Fiona knows you'd do anything for her.

Shrek:
Well, it's not like I wouldn't change if I could. I just...I just wish I could make her happy. [pauses out] Hold the phone... [pulls out Fairy Godmother's business card] "Happiness." [flips it over] "A tear drop away." Donkey, think of the saddest thing that's ever happened to you.

Donkey:
Oh, man, where do I begin? Well first there was the time that old farmer tried to sell me for some magic beans. I ain't never got over that. Then this fool went off and had a party and he have the guests trying to pin the tail on me. Then they got all drunk and start beatin' me with a stick going, "Piñata! Piñata!" What is a piñata, anyway?!

Shrek:
No, Donkey, I need you to cry!

Donkey:
Yeah, well don't go projecting on me! I know you're feelin' bad, but you gotta let your own- [Puss angrily stomps on his hoof] OWWWW!!!!!! [whimpers and tears] You little hairy litter-licking sack of...

[Donkey's tear sheds and Shrek lets it fall onto the card. A bubble is conjured, and Fairy Godmother appears in it]

Fairy Godmother:
["Voice Message" Bubble forms after landing] What? Is it on? Is it on? [clears her throat] This is Fairy Godmother. I'm either away from my desk or with a client, but if you come by the office, we'll be glad to give you a personal appointment. Have a Happy Ever After! [Bubble pops]

Donkey:
Ohhh.

Shrek:
Are you up for a little quest, Donkey?

Donkey:
That's more like it! Shrek and Donkey, on another whirlwind adventure! [singing] Ain't no stoppin' us now! Whoo! We're on the move!

Puss:
Stop, ogre! I have misjudged you.

Shrek:
Join the club. We've got jackets.

Puss:
On my honor, I am obliged to accompany you until I have saved your life as you have spared me mine.

Donkey:
I'm sorry, the position of annoying talking animal has already been taken. Let's go, Shrek! [sees Shrek walking to Puss] Shrek? [slight pauses out; Shrek looks down at Puss, who gives him a cute, helpless look. Shrek smiles] Shrek?!

Shrek:
Aw, come on, Donkey. Look at him in his wee little boots. You know, how many cats can wear boots? Honestly. Aw, let's keep him!

Donkey:
Say what?!?! [Puss purrs and Shrek marvels at his cuteness. Donkey groans in frustration]

Shrek:
Aw, listen. He’s purring!

Donkey:
Oh, so now it's cute!

Shrek:
Aw, come on, Donkey. Lighten up.

Donkey:
Lighten up?! Oh, I should lighten up?! Look who's telling who to lighten up!

[after escaping Fairy Godmother's potion factory]

Shrek:
[reading the potion bottle] "Happily Ever After Potion. Maximum strength. "For you and your true love. "If one of you drinks this, you both will be fine. "Happiness, comfort and beauty divine."

Donkey:
[confused] You both will be fine?

Shrek:
I guess it means it'll affect Fiona too. [opens the potion bottle]

Donkey:
Hey, man, this don't feel right. My donkey senses are tingling all over. So why don't you just drop that jug o' voodoo, and let’s get out of here.

Shrek:
It says "beauty divine". How bad can it be? [sniffs the potion and sneezes]

Donkey:
A-ha! See, You're allergic to that stuff. You'll have a reaction. And if you think that I'll be smearing Vapor Rub over your chest, think again!

Puss:
Boss, just in case there is something wrong with the potion… allow me to take the first sip. It would be an honor to lay my life on the line for you.

Donkey:
Oh, no, no. I don’t think so. If there’ll be any animal testing, I’ll do it. That’s the best friend’s job. Now give me that bottle. [Donkey snatches the potion bottle from Shrek's hands with his mouth, which starts drinking it, but Shrek snatches it back from Donkey.]

Shrek:
How do you feel?

Donkey:
I don't feel any different. Do I look any different?

Puss:
You still look like an ass to me.

Shrek:
Maybe it doesn't work on donkeys. Well, here's to us, Fiona.

Donkey:
Shrek? You drink that, there's no going back.

Shrek:
I know.

Donkey:
No more wallowing in the mud?

Shrek:
I know.

Donkey:
No more itchy butt crack?

Shrek:
I know!

Donkey:
But you love being an ogre!

Shrek:
I know! [sighs] But I love Fiona more.

[Shrek starts chugging the potion]

Donkey:
Shrek, no! Wait! [Shrek swallows the potion, then feels his stomach gurglin'. Donkey and Puss hides behind the rock, then Shrek farts.] Got to be… I think you grabbed the "Farty Ever After" potion.

Puss:
Maybe is a dud.

Shrek:
Or maybe Fiona and I were never meant to be.

[Dark storm clouds come above Shrek, Donkey and Puss]

Donkey:
Uh-oh. What did I tell you? I feel something coming on. I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die! [rain starts pouring, soaking the trio and getting them wet] Oh, sweet sister, mother of mercy!? I'm melting! I'M MELTING!!

Shrek:
It's just the rain, Donkey. [Donkey chuckles, they head to a barn for some shade. The blue ooze from Shrek's sneeze reaction on the mushroom transforms into a rose.]

Harold:
Fairy Godmother. Charming.

Fairy Godmother:
Ugh, you'd better have a good reason for dragging us down here, Harold.

Harold:
Well, I'm afraid Fiona isn't really... warming up to Prince Charming.

Charming:
Umm, FYI, not my fault.

Fairy Godmother:
No, no, of course it's not, dear.

Charming:
I mean, how charming can I be when I have to pretend I'm that dreadful ogre?

Harold:
No, no, it's nobody's fault. Perhaps it's best if we just call the whole thing off, okay?

Fairy Godmother and Charming:
[In unison, shocked] What?!

Harold:
I mean, you can't force someone to fall in love!

Fairy Godmother:
Oh I beg to differ. I do it all the time. [pulls out the Love Potion vial and hands it to Harold, and he takes it] Have Fiona drink this and she'll fall in love with the first man she kisses, which will be Charming.

Harold:
Umm, no.

Fairy Godmother:
What did you say?

Harold:
[stutters] I...I...I can't. I...I won't do it.

Fairy Godmother:
Oh, yes, you will. If you remember, I helped you with your happily ever after. And I can take it away just as easily. [sticks her wand in his face] Is that what you want? Is it?

Harold:
No.

Fairy Godmother:
[puts down her wand] Good boy. Now, we have to go. I need to do Charming's hair before the ball. He's hopeless. Y'know he's all high in the front, he can never get to the back. You always need someone to do the back of your hair.

Charming:
Oh. Thank you, mother.

Donkey:
[from outside the window, shocked] Mother?! [Fairy Godmother, Charming and Harold turn their heads fast to see Shrek, Donkey and Puss outside the window, hearing everything]

Shrek:
Um, Mary! A talkin' horse!

Fairy Godmother:
[enraged] THE OGRE! [Shrek, Donkey, and Puss ride away from the Poison Apple, she flies after them and tells the knights get them] STOP THEM!! THIEVES!! BANDITS!! STOP THEM!!!
