Shrek the Halls Page #2

Fiona, wait.

I don't understand why

Shrek had to be so mean and cranky.

We were tryin' to do what you wanted!

- What're you talking about?

- What you said this morning.

You and Shrek wanted to

have a big, noisy family Christmas.

I said it was our first

Christmas together as a family.

Right. That's me and everybody else.

Then he lost his temper like that.

You know, Donkey, none of us

really asked Shrek what he wanted.

I must agree with the Princess.

And you, were no Christmas angel.

- I don't remember askin' you anything!

- Donkey.

I'm sorry, Princess. You're right.

- Still, Shrek didn't have to be so...

- What?

Pigheaded? Stubborn? Mean?

Well, maybe I am all those

things, but I'm an ogre, OK?

So here's the thing.

I'm sorry you took getting kicked out

of my house the wrong way.

No, wait. What I meant to say is

I know you're just trying to be

helpful in your irritating fashion...

- Ay, caramba!

- Some people can't help being annoying.

- Shrek!

- Look,

I shouldn't have lost my temper.

- Apology accepted. Let's eat.

- Wait a minute.

There's somethin' more to this.

Come on, what's goin' on?

Look, all I wanted was to make

this perfect for my family,

but I don't even know

what Christmas means.

The thing is,

this is my first Christmas too.

Hold up, Shrek! You mean

that you never had...

- No.

- Not even one?

- No!

- You mean no chestnuts,

no Santa, no presents,

no stockings?

- No nut cakes?!

- Donkey!

No, none of that.

Ogres don't celebrate Christmas.

Ogres don't celebrate anything.

Oh, man, now I'm all emotional.

- Come here, gimme a hug!

- All right, that's close enough.

OK, all right, I just...

guess I got... a little

excited about Christmas and

all the presents and mistletoe

and everything,

and I forgot that it's...

It's about us all bein' together,

and I'm... I'm sorry, Shrek.

I know, Donkey, and... and I'm sorry

it ended up in a great big fight.

Christmas is all about big fights.

My mama used to say, "Christmas ain't

Christmas till somebody cries."

Usually that someone's me.

There is no right way to

do Christmas. You just do it.

Ja, with schnitzel!

- And eggnog!

- And cheese!

- And family.

- Yeah. And family.

So despite the fact that you

drive me crazy at times...

Yes, Donkey, I'm lookin' at you.

...it would mean a lot to me if

you'd all come back and join us.

OK, I guess I deserved that.

Don't push your luck.

They got you good, Shrek!

That wasn't even funny!

Who did that?

Well, that's the last

of the spare blankets.

Sorry, but this is my spot. I never get

the good spots, so I specifically...

So we are pigs,

pigs in the blanket, ja?

- Ja.

- Ja.

- This is funny then, ja?
