So, you gotta go to this abandoned castle, get past a dragon and rescue a princess so Farquaad gives you back your swamp, which you only don't have because he filled it full of freaks in the first place, is that right?

Shrek Go over there and see if you can find any stairs. Donkey Stairs? I thought we was lookin' for the Princess. Shrek The Princess will be up the stairs in the highest room in the tallest tower. Donkey How do you know that? Donkey So where is this fire-breathin' pain in the neck, anyway? Shrek In the tower, waiting for us to rescue her. Donkey I was talkin' about the dragon, Shrek. Fiona You didn't slay the dragon?! Shrek It's on my to-do list. Now come on! Fiona But this isn't right! You're meant to charge in, sword drawn, banner flying... That's what all the other knights did! Shrek Yeah, right before they burst into flame!
