[00:24.79]Shrek Voiceover:
[00:27.05]Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek,
[00:31.26]who lived with his parents in a bog by a tree.
[00:34.25]It was a pretty nasty place,
[00:36.17]but he was happy because ogres like nasty places.
[00:40.05]On his birthday,
[00:41.29]the little ogre's parents sat him down to talk,
[00:44.03]just as all ogre's parents had for hundreds of years before.
[00:48.57]
[00:49.64]Mama Ogre:
[00:49.81]Listen son, you're growing up so quickly,
[00:57.22]Growing up, bigger by the day.
[01:04.89]Papa Ogre:
[01:05.30]Although we want you here,
[01:06.89]The rules are very clear--
[01:08.95]Mama Ogre:
[01:09.17]Now you're seven...
[01:11.03]Papa Ogre:
[01:11.48]Now you're seven...
[01:12.62]Both:
[01:12.86]So it's time to go away.
[01:20.81]Papa Ogre:
[01:20.98]Your Mama packed a sandwich for your trip.
[01:24.65]Mama Ogre:
[01:25.15]Your Papa packed your boots in case of snow.
[01:28.48]Both:
[01:28.65]You're gonna make us proud.
[01:30.52]No backing up allowed.
[01:32.54]Mama Ogre:
[01:32.92]Just keep walking...
[01:34.67]Papa Ogre:
[01:34.98]Just keep walking...
[01:36.75]Both:
[01:36.91]and you'll find somewhere to go.
[01:43.77]
[01:43.96]It's a big bright beautiful world,
[01:48.06]with happiness all around.
[01:51.88]It's peaches and cream
[01:53.79]and every dream comes true...
[02:00.18]But not for you.
[02:04.66]
[02:05.20]It's a big, bright, beautiful world,
[02:08.60]with possibilities everywhere.
[02:12.71]And just around the bend,
[02:14.99]there's a friend or two...
[02:19.24]But not for you.
[02:21.48]
[02:22.95]Mama Ogre:
[02:23.11]You're ugly son,
[02:24.80]which means that life is harder.
[02:30.09]People hate the things they cannot understand.
[02:37.95]Papa Ogre:
[02:38.26]And when they look at us,
[02:40.07]they tend to make a fuss.
[02:42.25]Mama Ogre:
[02:42.65]Burn our houses down.
[02:45.45]Papa Ogre:
[02:45.61]and chase us...
[02:48.66]Both:
[02:48.90]Off our land.
[02:52.03]Papa Ogre:
[02:52.43]It's important that you find a cozy cesspit.
[02:55.78]Mama Ogre:
[02:56.12]A place no one would ever dare to tread.
[02:59.61]Both:
[02:59.76]And if they happen by,
[03:01.53]make sure you terrify them.
[03:03.81]Mama Ogre:
[03:03.96]If you don't, son...
[03:05.59]Papa Ogre:
[03:05.76]If you don't, son...
[03:07.20]Both:
[03:07.56]Then you'll surely wind up dead.
[03:14.83]
[03:14.74]Mama Ogre:
[03:14.91]Good-bye!
[03:16.13]Papa Ogre:
[03:16.42]Good-bye!
[03:18.03]Mama Ogre:
[03:18.22]Watch out for men with pitch-forks!
[03:22.43]
[03:23.64]Shrek Voiceover:
[03:23.69]And so the little ogre went off
[03:25.89]and found a muddy patch of swampland,
[03:28.54]far, far away from the world that despised him.
[03:32.76]And there he stayed for many years.
[03:34.79]Tucked away, and all alone...
[03:37.48]which was just the was he liked it.
[03:40.71]
[03:51.97]Shrek:
[03:52.15]Keep your big bright beautiful world.
[03:55.93]I'm happy where I am, all alone.
[04:00.19]I got all I need,
[04:01.97]so read the stinkin' sign!
[04:05.31]
[04:07.59]Keep your big bright beautiful world.
[04:11.91]I party on my own anyway.
[04:16.05]Doin' what I can
[04:17.34]with a one-man conga line.
[04:21.65]
[04:22.49]Yeah, your big bright beautiful world
[04:25.31]is all teddy bears and unicorns.
[04:27.99]Take your fluffy fun,
[04:29.62]and shove it where the sun don't shine!
[04:34.11]
[04:35.78]I prefer a life like this--
[04:38.09]it's not that complicated.
[04:43.02]Sure, I'm fated to be lonely,
[04:45.06]and I'm destined to be hated.
[04:47.23]If you read the books, they say
[04:49.33]it's why I was created.
[04:51.13]But I don't care,
[04:55.08]'cause being liked
[04:58.02]is grossly overrated.
[05:04.59]
[05:04.76]Who needs a big bright beautiful world?
[05:08.50]I got my own little patch of the world!
[05:12.33]It's not a big bright beautiful world,
[05:18.34]but it's mine!
[05:23.59]Alone!
[05:24.28]It's mine!
[05:26.01]And it's mine!
[05:33.47]All mine!
