Shrek/Trailer transcripts

The DreamWorks SKG logo plays, then it crossfades to a bookshelf
:Gene McGarr: For centuries, mothers and fathers have read these stories to the delight of children everywhere. (Someone pulls a big brown book off the shelf, reading "SHREK") But there is one tale... that has yet to be told.
Cut to Shrek (Mike Myers)'s swamp, where he screams at Donkey (Eddie Murphy)
:Donkey: You definitely need some Tic Tacs or something, 'cause your breath STINKS!
:Shrek: Really?
Cut to Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow)'s castle, as Joan Jett & the Blackhearts' "Bad Reputation" begins. Shrek and Donkey look on toward the castle.
:Gene: DreamWorks Pictures presents Shrek.
:Shrek: (As he and Donkey cross the bridge) Don't look down.
:Donkey: Don't look down, don't look down. (A piece of the bridge falls off, Donkey gasps, and the song suddenly stops) Shrek, I'm lookin' down!
The song resumes as we cut to Shrek in full-body armor, screaming as he is flung toward the castle
:Gene: The story of an unlikely hero... (Shrek lands inside) who rescues a beautiful princess... (Once he finds Princess Fiona [Cameron Diaz], he starts shaking her)
:Fiona: What? (They make their escape from the castle, and then we see the dragon) You didn't slay the dragon?
:Shrek: It's on my to-do list.
The music changes, and Lord Farquaad enters his throne room
:Gene: ...from a nasty villain...
:Farquaad: (Now playing with the Gingerbread Man [Conrad Vernon]'s legs) Run, run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me; I'm the Gingerbread Man!
:Gingerbread Man: You're a monster. (He spits in Farquaad's eye, then we cut to Shrek and Donkey at the arena as "I'm on My Way" by the Proclaimers plays)
:Gene: ...with the help of his furry companion.
:Donkey: You think that Shrek is your true love?
:Fiona: Well... yes! (Shrek and Donkey look at each other, then laugh it off)
:Gene: Mike Myers. Eddie Murphy. Cameron Diaz. John Lithgow.
A montage plays, featuring Shrek spinning Donkey around, taking a sword, winning in the arena, and coming out of the bathroom; to the tune of the last clip, Smash Mouth's "I'm a Believer" plays
:Fiona: What kind of knight are you?
:Shrek: One of a kind. (Cut to him carrying Donkey and Fiona out of the castle)
:Gene: Everybody needs a little Shrek.
:Shrek: Shrek.
:Fiona: Shrek.
:Donkey: Shrek?
Pan up across Shrek's body
:Gene: They got a big one. (A romantic scene between Shrek and Fiona, then the logo is shown) Shrek.
:Donkey: I just know before this is over, I'm gonna need a whole lot of serious therapy. Look at my eye twitching.
The title "MAY 2001" is seen, and the trailer ends
