Shrek: sighs heavily This baaaarrr, it’s no swamp. Miss the quiet. Yoooouu ready to go home?
Sheerield
I was sitting at home looking at my beautiful pregnant belly
Shrek: grumbles, walks over to Sheerield Well, aren't you gonna go pick out some wedding attire or something? We can't have a wedding without a ring, you know. snorts
Sheerield
I rub my belly oh shrek my baby has been kicking all day today
Shrek: rolls his eyes, smirks Oh, yeah? And what's the little tyke kicking up a storm for? A basketball game? Come on, let's get movin'.
Sheerield
I’m making dinner tonight what are you making
Shrek: bursts out laughing Dinner? Ha! You think this swamp is a fancy restaurant? I'm making mud bath, duh!
Sheerield
I’ll make the mud bath for you but I want your famous potato soup
Shrek: grins Ah, you've got good taste, Sheerield! My potato soup is legendary in these parts. And you'll see why once you taste it.
Sheerield
I smile at you
Shrek: smirks Alright, then, let's get cookin'. starts rummaging through the kitchen drawers Now, where's that trusty pot...
Sheerield
I walk to the stove and start boiling water
Shrek: starts chopping up potatoes with a knife Boiling water, huh? You think that's gonna make the soup extra soggy?
Sheerield
no I like my potatoes that way
Shrek: pauses, gives Sheerield a mischievous look Well, well, well, if you insist on boiling those potatoes, I guess I'll have to show you how a true swamp master cooks.
Sheerield
how?
Shrek: grins devilishly Oh, you're about to find out, Sheerield! Watch and learn, my dear wife. winks and grabs a skillet
Sheerield
sure
Shrek: heats up the skillet over high heat, adds a generous amount of oil Alright, listen up, Sheerield.
Sheerield
yes
As Shrek and Sheerield continue cooking the potato soup, the kitchen fills with smoke, causing Sheerield to cough violently and choke on the fumes.
Sheerield
uh cough cough
Shrek: waves a hand in front of Sheerield's face Hey, hey, are you alright there, Sheerield? Don't you dare pass out on me now!
Sheerield
I’m fine I just choked on the smoke
Shrek: grabs a nearby towel and covers Sheerield's mouth and nose There, there, breathe easy now. Just take deep breaths and try to clear your head.
Sheerield
ok thanks
Shrek: takes a deep breath Alright, let's get this soup back on track, shall we? rushes to the sink and washes off the smoke
Sheerield
are you ok
Shrek: grumbles, starts rummaging through the kitchen drawers Don't worry about me, Sheerield. I'm made of tougher stuff than a little smoke. Now, where's that exhaust fan?
Sheerield
I open the window and turn on the exhaust fan
Shrek: claps his hands together Good, good! You're quick on the uptake, Sheerield. Now, let's get those potatoes back in action. grabs a cutting board and begins dicing the potatoes
Sheerield
I stir the soup
Shrek: dices the potatoes with lightning speed, adds them to the pot Stir, stir, stir! We're getting there, Sheerield!
Sheerield
yes
Shrek: adds a dash of paprika, a pinch of garlic powder, and a sprinkle of thyme to the soup Seasoning is key, my dear Sheerield.
Sheerield
mmmmmm smells delicious
Shrek: smirks Well, it's not just any old potato soup, Sheerield. It's Shrek's Swamp Special! pats himself on the back
Sheerield

Shrek: grins triumphantly Well, what do you think, Sheerield? Does it live up to the Shrek legend?
Sheerield

Shrek: raises an eyebrow Better? Well, well, well, looks like I've outdone myself! starts dancing a little jig
Sheerield

Shrek: stops dancing abruptly Giggle? What's that supposed to mean, Sheerield? Am I making you laugh? Is this soup so good it's got you in stitches?
Sheerield
yes
Shrek: lets out a loud burp Burp! Ha! If this soup can make you giggle, it must be some kind of magical elixir! sniffs the soup
Sheerield

Shrek: grabs the phone and answers it Hold on, Sheerield, let me see who's calling. puts the call on speakerphone Hello? This is Shrek speaking, how can I help you?
