INT.

FAR FAR AWAY PRISON CELL - DAY

All of the Princesses, the Queen and Fiona are locked up in

the same prison cell.

Cinderella is frantically scrubbing a spot on the floor to a

shine.

Fiona looks out the cell window towards the castle in the
distance. Behind her, Snow White paces around, complaining.

SNOW WHITE
Had we just stayed put like I
suggested, we could be sipping tea
out of little heart-shaped cups...
Shrek the Third - Final Screening Script 91.

CINDERELLA
Yeah... yeah, heart shaped cups.

SNOW WHITE
Eating crumpets smothered with
loganberries.

CINDERELLA
Yeah... loganberries.

SNOW WHITE
Shut up Cindy.

CINDERELLA
Yeah, shut up.

Cinderella looks down at her reflection in the floor.

CINDERELLA (REFLECTION)
No! You shut up!

CINDERELLA
Just stay out of this!

SNOW WHITE
Who cares who's running the kingdom
anyway?

FIONA
I care.

Fiona steps forward and challenges them.

QUEEN
And you should all care too.

Suddenly, the cell door flies open. Donkey and Puss (in each
other's bodies) are tossed in as the door is slammed behind
them.

PUSS
(in Donkey's body)
Hey, hey, hey, hey.

DONKEY
(in Puss' body)
Yeah, and I have your badge number,
"TIN CAN-"

Puss, in Donkey's body, hisses and arches his back like a

cat.

FIONA (O.S.)
Donkey?!

DONKEY
(in Puss' body)
Princess?!

FIONA
Puss?!

PUSS
(in Donkey's body)
Lo siento, Princessa, but I am
Puss, stuck here inside this
hideous body.

DONKEY
(in Puss' body)
And I'm me!

FIONA
BUT YOU'RE-

DONKEY
(in Puss' body)
I know, I know. Everything's a
little fruity in the loops right
now. But what happened is, we went
to high school, the boat crashed,
and we got "bippity-bopity-booped"
by the "Magic Man."

DORIS
You poor sweet things.

CINDERELLA
I don't get it.

SNOW WHITE
The cat turned into a little horse
 that smells like feet. What's to
get?

SLEEPING BEAUTY
(WAKING UP)
Huh? Who dat?

FIONA
Where's Shrek?
Shrek the Third - Final Screening Script 93.

DONKEY
Charming's got him, Princess. And
he plans on killing Shrek tonight
in front of the whole kingdom.

Fiona's lets out a breath.

FIONA
Alright everyone, we need to find a
way out, now.

The Princesses nod in agreement.

SNOW WHITE
You're right.
(to the other Princesses)
Ladies, assume the position!

Sleeping Beauty falls asleep standing up. Snow White quickly

assumes her position by lying down and puckering her lips.
Cinderella dusts off a spot, sits down and crosses her legs.

FIONA
What are you doing?

SLEEPING BEAUTY
Waiting to be rescued.

FIONA
You have got to be kidding me.

SNOW WHITE
Well, what do you expect us to do?
We're just four...
(NOTICES DORIS)
I mean, three, super hot
princesses, two circus freaks, a
pregnant ogre and an old lady.

The Queen smiles and then casually walks by the Princesses.

QUEEN
Hmmm. Excuse me. Old lady coming
through.
She walks right up to the brick wall, takes a deep breath and
lets out a yell.

QUEEN
Hiiiyyyiiiaaaah!

She head-butts a hole right through the brick wall. Fiona

and the Princesses are impressed.
Shrek the Third - Final Screening Script 94.

PRINCESSES/PUSS/DONKEY
Whoa.

FIONA
Mom!?

QUEEN
Well, you didn't actually think you
got your fighting skills from your
father, did you?

Fiona beams at her mother and then turns to the Princesses.

Snow White points to another wall behind them.

SNOW WHITE
Excuse me, I think there's still
one more.

The Queen turns and sees the another wall barring their way.

QUEEN
Hmmmm.

The Queen hurries to the other wall.

QUEEN
Hiiiiyah!

It crumbles, revealing the outside. The princesses wince.

Fiona approaches her mother.

The Queen turns around, this time a little woozy, singing

softly to herself.

FIONA
Why don't you just lie down?

The Queen continues to sing to herself as she walks away.

Fiona turns to the others.

FIONA
 Okay girls, from here on out, we're
gonna take care of business
ourselves.

Snow thinks for a moment and then glances at the other

Princesses. They nod.

Snow looks determined. She rips off a sleeve, revealing a

Dopey tattoo.
Shrek the Third - Final Screening Script 95.

Sleeping Beauty tears the bottom of her dress.

The Queen puts lipstick smudges under her eyes (a la a

football player).

Cinderella sharpens the heal of her glass slipper.

Doris burns her bra.

The Princesses place their hands over Fiona's. Puss and

Donkey's hands come in last.
