A scene from Shrek 2001
Guard #1

All right. This one's full. Take it away!

Dwarfs

He ho hi he, dwarf prisoners are we... He ho hi he, dwarf prisoners are we.

Guard #2

Move it along. Come on.

Captain of the Guard

[his first words]

Next! [Guard grabs her broom]

Guard #2

Give me that! Your flying days are over.

Captain of the Guard

That's 20 pieces of silver for the Witch. Next!

Guard

Come on!

Villager

20 pieces. [As the villager passes out]

Guard #1

[to Guard #2]

Sit down there!

Guard #2

[to Guard #1]

Keep quiet!

Guard #1

[to Guard #2]

You keep quiet!

Baby Bear

[sadly]

This cage is too small.

Donkey

[Donkey turns around to The Old Lady holds his rope]

Please don't turn me in. I'll never be stubborn again. I can change. Please! Give me another chance!

Old Lady

Oh, shut up.

Donkey

Oh!

Captain of the Guard

Next! [Geppetto steps forward and places Pinocchio down on the table] What have you got?

Geppetto

This little wooden puppet.

Pinocchio

I'm not a puppet, I'm a real boy!

Captain of the Guard

[The puppet's nose lengthens]

5 shillings for the possessed toy. Take him away.

Pinocchio

Father, please! Don't let them do this! Help me!

Captain of the Guard

Next! What've you got? [The Old Lady drags the stubborn Donkey up to the table]

Old Lady

Well, I've got a talking donkey.

Captain of the Guard

[looks up from his ledger]

Right. Well, that's good for ten shillings, if you can prove it.

Old Lady

[Donkey swallows hard and looks at The Old Lady. The Old Lady unties the rope on his Donkey.]

Oh, go ahead, little fella. [Donkey looks at the Old Lady, then to the Captain. The Captain looks back at Donkey and lifts an eyebrow]

Captain of the Guard

[annoyed]

Well? [Donkey looks back at the Captain and says nothing. The Old Lady starts to sweat.]

Old Lady

Oh, oh, he's just... He's just a little nervous. He's really quite a chatterbox. Talk, you boneheaded dolt...

Captain of the Guard

That's it. I've heard enough. Guards!

Old Lady

[moves Donkey's lips]

No, no, he talks! He does. I can talk. I love to talk! I'm the talkin'est dang thing you ever saw.

Captain of the Guard

[annoyed]

Get her outta my sight. [The guards advance on The Old Lady and takes her off screaming]

Old Lady

No, no! I swear! Oh! He can talk!

Donkey

[As she struggles, the Old Lady accidentally kicks the caged pixie from the boy's hand. The cage goes flying through the air. It lands on Donkey's head, exploding pixie dust all over him. Making Donkey shocked.]

Hey, I can fly!

Peter Pan

He can fly!

3 Pigs

He can fly!

Captain of the Guard

HE CAN TALK!

Donkey

Ha, ha! That's right, Idiot! Now I'm a flying, talking donkey. You might have seen a housefly, maybe even a super fly, but I bet you ain't never seen a donkey fly. Ha, ha! [The pixie dust begins to wear off] Uh-oh. [Donkey falls down on the ground]

Captain of the Guard

Seize him! After him! He's getting away!
