DONKEY:

Ah! Thank you! (he runs inside the cottage)

SHREK:

What are you...? (Donkey hops up onto

a chair.) No! No!

DONKEY:

This is gonna be fun! We can stay up

late, swappin' manly stories, and in

the mornin' I'm makin' waffles.

SHREK:

Oh!

DONKEY:

Where do, uh, I sleep?

SHREK:

(irritated) Outside!

DONKEY:

Oh, well, I guess that's cool. I mean,

I don't know you, and you don't know

me, so I guess outside is best, you

know. Here I go. Good night. (Shrek

slams the door.) (sigh) 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. By

myself, outside. I'm all alone...there's

no one here beside me...

SHREK'S COTTAGE - NIGHT

Shrek is getting ready for dinner. He sits himself down and lights

a candle made out of earwax. He begins to eat when he hears a

noise. He stands up with a huff.

SHREK:

(to Donkey) I thought I told you to

stay outside.

DONKEY:

(from the window) I am outside.

There is another noise and Shrek turns to find the person that

made the noise. He sees several shadows moving. He finally turns

and spots 3 blind mice on his table.

BLIND MOUSE1

Well, gents, it's a far cry from the

farm, but what choice do we have?

BLIND MOUSE2

It's not home, but it'll do just fine.

GORDO:

(bouncing on a slug) What a lovely bed.

SHREK:

Got ya. (Grabs a mouse, but it escapes

and lands on his shoulder.)

GORDO:

I found some cheese. (bites Shrek's

ear)

SHREK:

Ow!
