Favorite lines from the Shrek movies (spin-off Puss in Boots also acceptable); please include the film name and characters

1. “It talks!” “Yeah, it’s getting him to shut up that’s the problem!” --Fiona and Shrek, Shrek
2. “No, no! Dead chick off the table!” (Shrek in Shrek; The dead chick is Snow White, whom the dwarves have placed on Shrek’s table in her glass coffin)
3. “That’s right, fool! Now I’m a flying talking donkey! You might have seen a housefly, maybe even a superfly, but I bet you ain’t never seen a donkeyfly! Ha, ha!” (Donkey, Shrek)
4. “Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.” Lord Faarquad, Shrek
5. “…and tomorrow, I’m makin’ waffles!” (Donkey, Shrek)
6. Shrek: “I can’t believe I’m going to be a father. How did this happen?”  
Puss in Boots: "Allow me to explain. When a man falls in love with a woman, he is overcome with powerful urges… " (From Shrek the 3rd)
7. Our first bachelorette is a mentally abused shut-in from a kingdom far, far away. She likes sushi and hot-tubbing any time. Her hobbies include cooking and cleaning for her two evil sisters. Let’s hear it for Cinderella! - Magic Mirror, first movie
8. “I’m sorry, but the role of annoying talking animal has already been taken!” --Donkey, re: Puss in Boots, Shrek 2
9. “They say he only drinks whole milk!” - Puss, Puss in Boots
10. “From henceforth, we’re all to be known as Team Alpha Super Awesome Cool Dynamite Wolf Squadron.” - Donkey, Shrek the Third
11. “Oh, you _can’t_ tell me you’re afraid of heights.” “No, I’m just a _little_ uncomfortable about being on a rickety bridge over a boiling lake of lava!” --Shrek and Donkey, _Shrek_
