Shrek the Third2007

Shrek:
[confronts Charming in the dressing room] Break a leg. On second thought, let me break it for you.

Charming:
Thank goodness. I was afraid you wouldn't get back in time. [presses a button as Shrek grabs him]

Shrek:
Where's Fiona?

Charming:
Don't worry. She and the others are safe...for now. [grins evilly]

[The guards burst in and holds Artie hostage. Shrek puts him down]

Charming:
[Walking up to Artie] Let me guess. Arthur.

Artie:
[Facing him] It's "Artie", actually.

Charming:
This boy is supposed to be the new King of Far Far Away? [laughs and held the dagger to Artie's throat] How pathetic. Stand still so I won't make a mess.

Shrek:
Charming, stop! I'm here now. You got what you wanted. This isn't about him.

Artie:
Then who's this about? I'm supposed to be king, right?

Shrek:
You weren't really next in line for the throne, I was!

Artie:
But you said the king asked for me personally.

Shrek:
Not exactly.

Artie:
What does that mean?

Shrek:
I said whatever I had to say, alright? I wasn't right for the job, I just needed some fool to replace me, and you fit the bill, so just go!

Artie:
[hurt and angry] You were playing me the whole time.

Shrek:
You catch on real fast, kid. Maybe you're not as big of a loser as I thought.

[Donkey tries to reason with Artie, but Puss stops him]

Artie:
You know, for a minute...I actually thought.

Charming:
What, that he cared about you? He's an ogre. What did you expect? [Artie breaks free from the guards and looks at Shrek before storming out the dressing room in anger. Shrek feels guilty] You really do have a way with children, Shrek.

[The guards forced Shrek out of the room]
