A scene from Shrek 2001
Donkey

[eyes the DANGER KEEP OUT signs surrounding Shrek's home]

I guess you don't, uh, entertain much, do you?

Shrek

I like my privacy.

Donkey

You know, I do too! That's another thing we have in common. Like, I hate it when you've got someone in your face, you try to give 'em a hint, they won't leave, and then there's that big awkward silence, you know... [silence ensues] ...Can I stay with you?

Shrek

Uh, what?

Donkey

Can I stay with you... please?

Shrek

Of course!

Donkey

Really? Should I go inside?

Shrek

No.

Donkey

Please! I don't wanna go back there! You don't know what it's like to be considered a think! [slight pauses out; Shrek gives Donkey a look] Well, maybe you do. But that's why we gotta stick together! You gotta let me stay outside! Please, please!

Shrek

Okay! Okay. Then stay outside. But one night only.

Donkey

Ah, thank you! [Shrek opens his door, Donkey charges into the hovel]

Shrek

Whoa! What are you...?? No, no, no!

Donkey

This is gonna be fun. We can stay up late, swappin' manly stories, and in the mornin', [pauses for a few seconds] I'm makin' waffles!

Shrek

Ohh!!

Donkey

Where do, uh, I sleep?

Shrek

OUTSIDE!!

Donkey

Oh... well, I guess that's cool. I mean, I don't know, and you don't know that, so I guess I need to stay outside to do my best, you know. [sniffs] Here I go. Gd'night. [sighs; Shrek shuts the door closed] I mean, I do like the outdoors. I'm a donkey. I was born outside. I'll just be sitting by myself outside, I guess, you know. Sit by myself, outside. [singing] I'm all alone; there's no one here beside me.
