SHREK:

Really?

DONKEY:

Really, really.

SHREK:

Oh.

DONKEY:

Man, I like you. What's you name?

SHREK:

Uh, Shrek.

DONKEY:

Shrek? Well, you know what I like about

you, Shrek? You got that kind of I-don't-care-what-nobody-thinks-of-me

thing. I like that. I respect that,

Shrek. You all right. (They come over

a hill and you can see Shrek's cottage.)

Whoa! Look at that. Who'd want to live

in place like that?

SHREK:

That would be my home.

DONKEY:

Oh! And it is lovely! Just beautiful.

You know you are quite a decorator.

It's amazing what you've done with such

a modest budget. I like that boulder.

That is a nice boulder. I guess you

don't 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 got somebody in your face. You've

trying to give them a hint, and they

won't leave. There's that awkward silence.

(awkward silence) Can I stay with you?

SHREK:

Uh, what?

DONKEY:

Can I stay with you, please?

SHREK:

(sarcastically) Of course!

DONKEY:

Really?

SHREK:

No.

DONKEY:

Please! I don't wanna go back there!

You don't know what it's like to be

considered a freak. (pause while he

looks at Shrek) Well, maybe you do.

But that's why we gotta stick together.

You gotta let me stay! Please! Please!

SHREK:

Okay! Okay! But one night only.
