*Donkey: Waffles and pancakes in the house! *eat the waffles and pancakes*
*Shrek: Donkey! I didn't say dig in yet.
*Donkey: You say "dig in", we dig in like moles.
*Shrek: Ugh, fine. Next time, we eat together as a family.
*Fiona: Come on baby. It's a family nutrition to eat together with a thanks as a honor to celebrate some morning time.

*Donkey: Uh huh. That's right. You said the line. *fist bump Puss*
*Puss in Boots: Bingo. And some leche to drink on. *drink some leche*

*Fergus: Ah ha ha. *play with a fork*
*Farkle: Aw. *feel sleepy*
*Shrek: Farkle, don't fall asleep. You just woke up. Look like I'm gonna eat this big waffle treat with cinnamon.

*Fiona: Oh brother. You're not going to eat them all, are you?
*Shrek: I am going to eat them all! What are you talking about, sweetie?
*Puss in Boots: Just eat it and take it away from here. We let you eat whatever you want.
*Donkey: He's not gonna eat the whole thing, is he?
*Shrek: Oh boy, mama papa. It is time to eat this jumbo wumbo massive treat of a breakfast dinner. *open his mouth and slurp his mouth* Come to ogre papa! *interupt as Pinocchio show up* Ugh. Can't you see I'm eating my breakfast!?
*Pinocchio: Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!
*Shrek: *slam table* What Pinocchio?! Don't you know how to knock as a guest?
*Donkey: Come on Shrek. He's no guest. He's our friend.
*Shrek: So? Friends act like guests and are suppose to knock when they come in a house.
*Pinocchio: I got breaking news. Spoiler alert, it's very bad.
*Fiona: Oh no. What happen?
*Puss in Boots: It can't be worse than leche falling off the table.
*Pinocchio: I hate to tell you this. But do you all remember Smash Mouth, the band whose songs play in the Shrek movies.
*Shrek: Um, yes? That's the bad news?
*Donkey: What kind of question is that? We know who they are.
*Pinocchio: Bad news. Steve Harwell has passed away recently.
*Shrek: *depressed* Oh no. No no no. Don't tell me it's real.
*Fiona: It is really true?
*Pinocchio: It's true. Steve Harwell has died of natural causes.
*Donkey: No! The man! Is gone!
*Puss in Boots: Our favorite amigo, the singer has passed away.
*Felicia, Fergus and Farkle: Aw... *cries*
*Shrek: No no no. Babies, don't cry. It's just bad news. Why do you tell me right now on a bad time when we're having some breakfast?
*Pinocchio: Sorry about that. It's just that Harwell struggled with alcoholism. In 2013, he was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy and Wernicke encephalopathy, which can cause heart failure and affect motor functions such as speech and memory. He was hospitalized in 2017 as a result of his cardiomyopathy, leading to the cancellation of a show. He later implied that he retired due to these problems hindering his ability to perform well. He died at his home in Boise, Idaho, on September 4, 2023, one day after he was reported to have entered hospice care for final stage liver failure. He was 56 years old. In tribute, the band's manager, Robert Hayes, said "Steve lived a 100% full-throttle life. Burning brightly across the universe before burning out."
*Shrek: *sad* You gotta be right, boy. *shred a tear* He really died after going to the hospital, and then passed the next day.
*Donkey: I thought he was going to stay in the hospital for days, and then he passed out.
*Puss in Boots: He was an all star, like a cat.
*Fiona: His songs like "All Star" and "I'm a Believer" changed all of our lives.
*Pinocchio: Steve Harwell is gone, forever. But not forgotten.
*Shrek: My idol. The goat. He's gone. Died from a sickness.
*Donkey: He was my man.
*Fiona: And our friend.
*Puss in Boots: Life will never be the same without him.
*Pinocchio: *upset* Aw, we're never gonna have a good year since 2010.
