## Transcript

(We see the outside of Shrek's Swamp, then it zooms closer and closer and into the door and we see Shrek and Donkey waving at us with Hollywood-style music playing in the background.)

Announcer: Coming to your live from Far, Far, Away, it's...

(The camera zooms in to the Magic Mirror and then he transforms into the Swamp Talk logo with the words "with Shrek and Donkey".)

Shrek: Swamp Talk with Shrek and Donkey! (crowd cheering noises can be heard and then it zooms back to Shrek and Donkey.)

Shrek: Hello, everybody! Welcome to our very first episode of Swamp Talk with Shrek...

Donkey ...and Donkey!

Shrek: (gets serious) Y'know, it's very rude to interrupt someone in the middle of speaking, Donkey!

Donkey: Oops, sorry, Shrek!

Shrek: Well, as i was saying Welcome to Swamp Talk with Shrek and Donkey! Today, we are going to talk about our favorite TV Shows we watched when we were wee little kids! First off, one of my favorite TV show that i watched as a kid is Billy Bunny! My favorite episode is that Billy was riding a boat and whistling the day away.

Donkey: And then he got kicked in the ears by Lord Farquaad and then he visited Dragon and the Dronkeys to play the Sorry board game.

Shrek: WHAAAAT!?! No, he did not! Plus, Farquaad, Dragon, the Dronkeys and the Dronkeys didn't exist back then! The real thing is that he got kicked out of his boat by a bigger bunny and then he wanted to get his boat back, okay, your turn, Donkey!

Donkey: Okay! One of my favorite TV shows is The Donkstones!

Shrek: Oh! I know that too!

Donkey: The Donkstones is a show about a caveman family who wouldn't bother to mess around in your swamp!

Shrek: GRRRRRR! DOOOONKEEEEEEY!!!!

Donkey: Sorry! Your swamp didn't exist back then! Oh! and another one of my favorite TV Shows i--

Shrek: Wait, that's my turn, another favorite show of mine is... The Ogrejets! It's about an ogre family from the future having a good life in their home and travel in their spaceship.

Donkey: Hey!! I know that too! My favorite episode is that one about the family going on a vacation to Donkeyland! Dragon, the Dronkehys and I will be there.

Shrek: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAuuh! DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!

Donkey: Uh oh! Here we go again! (runs away)

Shrek: (furious, chases after him) Come back here you nasty ogreload of a noble stinkin' steed!

(It zooms back to the swamp as it was from the beginning, but at nighttime.)

Announcer: This has been Swamp Talk with Shrek and Donkey! Stay tuned for more episodes! Thank you and good night!

(Two red curtains cover the screen as the cursive words "THE END" appear on the screen and a stock comedic ending tag which is the same one as "And that's all for now Game Show Closing" from the Game Show Music and Sound Effects Library by Sound Effects Library plays.)
