SHREK. Lesson 15

It's on my to-do list

Тема. Making a to-do list (составление списка дел)

Fiona: Oh! Oh!
Shrek: Wake up!
Fiona: What?
Shrek: Are you Princess Fiona?
Fiona: I am, awaiting a knight so bold as to rescue me.
Shrek: Oh, that's nice. Now let's go!
Fiona: But wait, Sir Knight. This be-ith our first meeting. Should it not be a wonderful, romantic moment?
Shrek:Yeah, sorry, lady. There's no time.
Fiona: Hey, wait. What are you doing? You should sweep me off my feet out yonder window and down a rope onto your valiant steed.
Shrek:You've had a lot of time to plan this, haven't you?
Fiona: Mm-hmm. But we have to savor this moment! You could recite an epic poem for me. A ballad? A sonnet! A limerick? Or something!
Shrek: I don't think so.
Fiona: Can I at least know the name of my champion?
Shrek: Um, Shrek.
Fiona: Sir Shrek. I pray that you take this favor as a token of my gratitude.
Shrek: Thanks!
Fiona: You didn't slay the dragon?
Shrek: It's on my to-do list. Now come on!
Fiona: But this isn't right! You were meant to charge in, sword drawn, banner flying. That's what all the other knights did.
Shrek:Yeah, right before they burst into flame.
Fiona: That's not the point. Oh! Wait. Where are you going? The exit's over there.
Shrek: Well, I have to save my ass.
Fiona: What kind of knight are you?
Shrek: One of a kind.
Donkey: Slow down. Slow down, baby, please. I believe it's healthy to get to know someone over a long perriod of time. Just call me old-fashioned.
I don't want to rush into a physical relationship. I'm not emotionally ready for a commitment of, uh, this... Magnitude really
is the word I'm looking for. Magnitude. Hey, that is unwanted physical contact. Hey, what are you doing? Okay, okay. Let's just back up a little and take this one step at a time. We really should get to know each other first as friends or pen pals. I'm on the road a lot, but I just love receiving cards. I'd really love to stay, but... Don't do that! That's my tail! That's my personal tail. You're gonna tear it off. I don't give permission. What are you gonna do with that? Hey, now. No way. No! No! No, no! No. No, no, no. No! Oh!
