## Transcript

(WIP)

(The episode opens with a dark, snowy shot of numerous mountains. The tone is ominous and quiet - too quiet, other than the sounds of powerful gusts of wind and the snow blowing through)

(Down the mountain, a group is seen walking down, with one of them carrying a lantern to guide them through the dark, violent weather)

**Donkey:** Ah, nothing like a nice, relaxing snowy-

**Shrek:** (offscreen) DONKEY! GET OVER HERE NOW!

**Donkey:** Hey, c'mon, don't shout at me, Shrek. You did that over ten times now. (approaches him)

(Fiona is carrying the lantern. Accompanying her is Shrek, Puss in Boots, Gingy, Pinocchio and Dragon)

**Donkey:** Say, Shrek, could you tell me what we're doing here again? I could've brought a blanket and pillow and everything!

**Shrek:** Alright, because *some* people here aren't quite getting the message across, I need all of you to listen up. We have to meet up with a wizard here who promised us to take us where Fiona and I's children are. They've got something important in store for us.

**Gingy:** (raises his hand) Wait, I know! Is he gonna tell us what Victoria's Secret really is?

**Shrek:** (heaves a sigh) No he isn't, Gingy.

**Gingy:** (under his breath) Darn, I wanna know what her dark secrets could be.

**Pinocchio:** Well, how about treasure?

**Shrek:** (becoming irritated) *No.*

**Donkey:** Ooh, ooh! How 'bout...a prescription for my constant short-term memory?

(Beat as Shrek lowers himself near Donkey's ear)

**Shrek:** (everybody stops in their tracks as he kneels down) Donkey, my dear friend, ol' buddy. There's an old saying that goes around in dire times like this.

**Donkey:** What's that, Shrek? To not judge a book by its cover or somethin'?

**Shrek:** (laughs) No.

(He inhales)

**Shrek:** ***SHUT UP, DONKEY!!!!!!!!!!***

(He stands back up, and they continue walking)

**Fiona:** So, where is this place again?

**Puss in Boots:** (looking at a map) An old mining town; abandoned. I reckon it's not too far.
