史瑞克驚悚夜

Shrek、Fiona、Donkey和Puss在萬圣節的晚上到電影院觀看《音樂之聲》，引起了Shrek的極度不滿。為了讓Shrek找回萬圣節的感覺，Donkey即興唱了一段，卻引來一群恐怖的僵尸……

Shrek: (rushes out of the cinema) For the love of gingy! Make it stop! I cant get it out of my head!

(Donkey and Puss are singing.)

Fiona: Honey, are you okay? Ive never heard you scream like that before.

Donkey: Yeah, whats the matter with you, man? What kind of person screams when they see singing nuns?

Shrek: ①Its Halloween for petes sake. Thats not the kinda thing I want to see tonight.

史瑞克：（沖出電影院）天啊！停下來啊，我滿腦子都是！

（貧嘴驢和靴子貓在唱歌。）

菲奧娜：親愛的，你沒事吧？我從來沒聽你叫得這么慘過。

貧嘴驢：是啊，伙計，你怎么了？怎么會有人因為看到修女唱歌而慘叫？

史瑞克：今天可是萬圣節。我才不想看到那種東西。

Donkey: Okay, fine, Mr. King of Halloween. What did you want to see tonight?

Shrek: Oh, I dont know, something with 1)mummies or a man-eating plant. At least a zombie or two.

Donkey: Zombies dont know how to lay dee odl lay hee hoo.

Donkey: (sings) Nasty surprise. You hold your breath and wait for it to pass.

Shrek: Hahaha, now this is Halloween.

Donkey: ④Oh, man, man, my big mouth. I knew I shouldve stayed home tonight.

貧嘴驢：好吧，萬圣節之王，你想看什么？

史瑞克：我不知道，木乃伊怎么樣？或者食人樹，起碼要有一、兩個僵尸。

貧嘴驢：僵尸才不會跟你磨磨唧唧地唱歌。

史瑞克：問題就在這啊。

靴子貓：為什么不把兩者結合在一起？恐怖音樂劇怎么樣？

貧嘴驢：就是，我都知道可以讓誰去演。

史瑞克：你們現在又要干嘛？

貧嘴驢：（唱歌）午夜過后，街上出現一群怪人。

史瑞克：我去叫出租車。

貧嘴驢：哈哈，我找著調了。（唱歌）真是恐怖，小心臟都要被嚇得停止跳動。

史瑞克：我討厭你唱歌。

貧嘴驢：（唱歌）你緊閉雙眼，祈禱著這恐怖的氣息只是一場幻覺。

史瑞克：（對菲奧娜說）你能讓他停下來嗎？

貧嘴驢：（唱歌）活生生的恐怖。你屏住呼吸等待一切過去。

史瑞克：別犯傻。

靴子貓：遵命，老大。

菲奧娜：史瑞克。

貧嘴驢：你覺得這個不錯，你真該聽聽我唱提托的歌。

史瑞克：說過了，我不喜歡即興音樂。

靴子貓：黑暗降臨，午夜的鐘聲就要敲響。動物爬行著渴求鮮血，恐嚇你的鄰居。無論被發現的是誰，縱然驚魂未定，也要直面來自地獄的追殺，在尸體的皮囊下腐爛。即使你為生存而戰，卻止不住抖如篩糠，因為肉體凡胎永遠無法對抗來自無間的鬼怪。

史瑞克：哈哈，這下才像萬圣節嘛。

貧嘴驢：噢，天啊，都怪我的烏鴉嘴。我就說今天應該待在家里。
