HEAD GUARD:

Seize him! (Donkey takes of running.)

After him!

GUARDS:

He's getting away! Get him! This way!

Turn!

Donkey keeps running and he eventually runs into Shrek. Literally.

Shrek turns around to see who bumped into him. Donkey looks scared

for a moment then he spots the guards coming up the path. He

quickly hides behind Shrek.

HEAD GUARD:

You there. Ogre!

SHREK:

Aye?

HEAD GUARD:

By the order of Lord Farquaad I am authorized

to place you both under arrest and transport

you to a designated resettlement facility.

SHREK:

Oh, really? You and what army?

He looks behind the guard and the guard turns to look as well

and we see that the other men have run off. The guard tucks tail

and runs off. Shrek laughs and goes back about his business and

begins walking back to his cottage.

DONKEY:

Can I say something to you? Listen,

you was really, really, really somethin'

back here. Incredible!

SHREK:

Are you talkin' to...(he turns around

and Donkey is gone) me? (he turns back

around and Donkey is right in front

of him.) Whoa!

DONKEY:

Yes. I was talkin' to you. Can I tell

you that you that you was great back

here? Those guards! They thought they

was all of that. Then you showed up,

and bam! They was trippin' over themselves

like babes in the woods. That really

made me feel good to see that.

SHREK:

Oh, that's great. Really.

DONKEY:

Man, it's good to be free.
