SIDE 1

DONKEY

Shrek! I heard a roar! Shrek! I am two seconds away from leaving you here! This place is creepy!

(Four KNIGHTS with long beards are chained to the wall. Bits of rusted armor may hang off them. They  ve been here a long time.)

KNIGHT 1

You don t know the half of it.

DONKEY

Ahhhh!

KNIGHT 1

Sorry.

KNIGHT 2

Hey, it s a new guy! We haven t had a new guy in a couple of years!

DONKEY

Shrek! Come back! There are people with beards!

KNIGHT 3

Shhh! You don t wanna wake her up.

KNIGHT 4

She gets really mad.

DONKEY

What are you talking about? Who are you people?

KNIGHT 1

We re knights. We came to rescue the princess.

KNIGHT 3

Just like you.

KNIGHT 4

None of us made it, though.

KNIGHT 2

We re the lucky ones. Everyone else she incinerated.

KNIGHT 1

She keeps us around because we sing backup.

DONKEY

What?

(DONKEY turns around and comes face to face with the DRAGON.)

Dragon!? I m outta here.
