Shrek quotes
Page 5 of 8Shrek!
What? It’s a compliment. Better out than in, I always say. [laughs]
Well, it’s no way to behave in front of a princess.
She’s as nasty as you are.
Well, maybe you shouldn’t judge people before you get to know them.
La liberte! Hey!
Princess!
Be still, mon cherie, for I am your savior! And I am rescuing you from this green... [kisses up her arm while Fiona pulls back in disgust] ...beast.
Hey! That’s my princess! Go find your own!
Please, monster! Can't you see I'm a little busy here?
Oh! Of course! Oh, how rude. Please let me introduce myself. Oh, Merry Men! [laughs]
Ta, dah, dah, dah, whoo.
♪ I steal from the rich and give to the needy. ♪
♪ He takes a wee percentage, ♪
♪ But I'm not greedy. I rescue pretty damsels, man, I'm good. ♪
♪ What a guy, Monsieur Hood. ♪
Break it down. ♪ I like an honest fight and a saucy little maid... ♪
♪ What he's basically saying is he likes to get-
Paid. So... ♪ When an ogre in the bush grabs a lady by the tush. ♪ That's bad.
That's bad.
♪ When a beauty's with a beast it makes me awfully mad. ♪
He's mad, he's really, really mad.
♪ I’ll take my blade and ram it through your heart, keep your eyes on me, boys, 'cause I'm about to start... ♪
Man, that was annoying!
Oh, you little...! [shoots an arrow at Fiona but she handsprings out of the way]
AAAAAAH!
[Another fight sequence begins, and Fiona gives a karate yell. She handsprings over to the arrow shooter and rapidly punches him unconscious. She elbow strikes another and swats him with her braid. There is a very interesting ‘Matrix’ moment here when Fiona pauses in mid-air to fix her hair, then takes two men down by kicking them both at the same time. With a running backflip off a tree, she punches the friar through his accordion. She knocks out another one of the Merry Men with a roundhouse kick. Finally, all of the Merry Men are down, and Fiona begins walking away.]
Uh, shall we?
Hold the phone. [drops Donkey and begins walking after Fiona] Oh! Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on now. Where did that come from?
What?
That! Back there. That was amazing! Where did you learn that?
Well... [laughs] when one lives alone, uh, one has to learn these things in case there’s a… [gasps and points] there’s an arrow in your butt!
What? [turns and looks] Oh, would you look at that? [he goes to pull it out but flinches because it’s tender]
Oh, no! This is all my fault! I’m so sorry!
Shrek’s hurt.
Shrek’s hurt? Shrek’s hurt?! Oh, no, Shrek’s gonna die!
Donkey, I’m okay.
You can’t do this to me, Shrek! I’m too young for you to die! Keep you legs elevated! Turn your head and cough! Does anyone know the Heimlich?
Donkey! Calm down. If you want to help Shrek, run into the woods and find me a blue flower with red thorns.
Blue flower, red thorns. Okay, I’m on it. Blue flower, red thorns. Don’t die Shrek. If you see a long tunnel, stay away from the light!
Donkey!
Oh, yeah. Right. Blue flower, red thorns. [runs off]
What are the flowers for?
Ah.
Now you hold still, and I’ll yank this thing out. [gives the arrow a little pull]
I’m sorry, but it has to come out.
No, it’s tender.
Now, hold on.
What do you think you’re doing is the opposite of help.
Don’t move.
Look, time out.
Would you...? [grunts as Shrek puts his hand over her face to stop her from getting at the arrow] Okay. What do you propose we do?
Wow! That was REALLY scary, and if you don't mind me saying, if that don't work, your breath will certainly get the job done, cause you definitely need some Tic Tacs or something, cause yo' breath STINKS!
ROOOOAAAR!!! [the hunters scream in terror; Shrek lowers his voice to a whisper] This is the part where you run away.
I already told you, didn't I? You're not coming home with me! I live alone! MY swamp! ME! Nobody else, nobody! Especially useless, pathetic, annoying, TALKING DONKEYS!!!
Sure, it's big enough, but look at the location!
All right, nobody move! I've got a dragon, and I'm not afraid to use it! I'm a donkey on the edge!
AND AS FOR YOU, MY WIFE! [Shrek: FIONA!] I'LL HAVE YOU LOCKED BACK IN THAT TOWER, FOR THE REST OF YOUR DAYS!! I AM KING!! [Shrek whistles for Dragon.] I WILL HAVE ORDER!!! I WILL HAVE PERFECTION!!! I WILL HAVE-- [Dragon and Donkey enter the cathedral to stop Farquaad and Dragon eats Farquaad alive.] AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!
All right, you're going the right way for a smacked bottom.
