SHREK. Lesson 18 advanced

This is one of those drop-it-and-leave-it-alone things 

Тема.  Compound adjectives (Составные прилагательные) 

Shrek: And, uh, that one, that's Throwback, the only ogre to ever spit over three wheat fields. Right. Yeah.
Donkey: Hey, can you tell my future from these stars?
Shrek: The stars don't tell the future, Donkey. They tell stories. Look, there's Bloodnut, the Flatulent. You can guess what he's famous for.
Donkey: I know you're making this up.
Shrek: No, look. There he is, and there's the group of hunters running away from his stench.
Donkey: That ain't nothin' but a bunch of little dots.
Shrek: You know, Donkey, sometimes things are more than they appear. Hmm? Forget it.
Donkey: Hey, Shrek, what we gonna do when we get our swamp, anyway?
Shrek: Our swamp?
Donkey: You know, when we're through rescuing the princess.
Shrek: We? Donkey, there's no "we". There's no "our". There's just me and my swamp. The first thing I'm gonna do is build a ten-foot wall around my land.
Donkey: You cut me deep, Shrek. You cut me real deep just now. You know what I think? I think this whole wall thing is just a way to keep somebody out.
Shrek: No, do ya think?
Donkey: Are you hidin' something?
Shrek: Never mind, Donkey.
Donkey: Oh, this is another one of those onion things, isn't it?
Shrek: No, this is one of those drop-it-and-leave-it-alone things.
Donkey: Why don't you want to talk about it?
Shrek: Why do you want to talk about it?
Donkey: Why are you blocking?
Shrek: I'm not blocking.
Donkey: Oh, yes, you are.
Shrek: Donkey, I'm warning you.
Donkey: Who you trying to keep out?
Shrek: Everyone! OK?
Donkey: Oh, now we're gettin' somewhere.
Shrek: Oh! For the love of Pete!
Donkey: What's your problem? What you got against the whole world, anyway?
Shrek: Look, I'm not the one with the problem, okay? It's the world that seems to have a problem with me. People take one look at me and go. "Aah! Help! Run! A big, stupid, ugly ogre!" They judge me before they even know me. That's why I'm better off alone.
Donkey: You know what? When we met, I didn't think you was just a big, stupid, ugly ogre.
Shrek: Yeah, I know.
Donkey: So, uh, are there any donkeys up there?
Shrek: Well, there's, um, Gabby, the Small and Annoying.
Donkey: OK, OK, I see it now. The big shiny one, right there. That one there?
Shrek: That's the moon.
Donkey: Oh, OK.

That ain't nothin' but a bunch of little dots.
Ain't – универсальный разговорный заменитель глагола to be или вспомогательного глагола. В данном случае заменен is. Nothin' = nothing. В данном предложении союз but имеет не самое распространенное значение "но", а "кроме":
Здесь нет ничего кроме кучи точек.

What we gonna do when we get our swamp, anyway?
Осел неоднократно демонстрировал пренебрежение правилами грамматики. Лучше ему не подражать и не пропускать вспомогательный глагол are после вопросительного слова.
Gonna = going to.
Наречие anyway (в любом случае, во всяком случае) может употребляться и в начале предложения.

When we're through rescuing the princess.
To be through => закончить, завершить. Вся фраза переведется так:
Когда мы закончим спасение принцессы.

This is one of those drop-it-and-leave-it-alone things.
Это что-то вроде выбрось и забудь.
Здесь мы встречаем пример образования составного прилагательного. Прилагательные с большим количеством частей характерны для разговорной речи. Злоупотреблять ими не надо.
Example.
Sorry for my I-just-slept-45-minutes-this-morning look.
