A scene from Shrek 2 2004
Shrek

[After escaping Fairy Godmother's potion factory] [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 all over your chest, think again!

Puss in Boots

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. [snatches the potion bottle from Shrek's hands with his mouth and 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 in Boots

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. [starts chugging the potion]

Donkey

Shrek, no! Wait! [Shrek swallows the potion, then feels his stomach gurglin'. Donkey and Puss hide behind the rock, then... Shrek lets out a fart] Got to be... Shrek, I think you grabbed the "Farty Ever After" potion.

Puss in Boots

Maybe it's a dud.

Shrek

Or maybe Fiona and I were never meant to be.

Donkey

[Dark storm clouds appear above Shrek, Donkey and Puss.]

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 as they head to a barn for some shelter. The blue ooze from Shrek's sneeze reaction on the mushroom transforms into a rose.]
