SIDE 1
FARQUAAD
Oh, it s you! What a terrific surprise! And lucky you, you re here at torture time! Bring in the cookie!
(Farquaad s GUARDS bring GINGY onstage.)
GINGY
No! No! I won t speak! I won t! Oh, it s you...
FARQUAAD
Run, run, run as fast as you can, you can t catch me I m the Gingerbread Man!
GINGY
You re a monster!
FARQUAAD
I m not the monster here, you are. You and the rest of that fairy tale trash poisoning my perfect kingdom.
GINGY
It s not a kingdom! Because you re not a king!
FARQUAAD
Oh, but I will be. Just as soon as I find a princess to marry. And I hear you know of one. Tell me where she is!
GINGY
Bite me!
FARQUAAD
That s it! My patience has reached its end. Present the devices of torture!
Farquaad s GUARDS pull out torture devices a rolling pin, a giant spatula, an egg-beater, a carton of milk, etc...)
GINGY
Uh-uh, uhh, now wait a minute. Let s not go crazy. Maybe I have heard tell of a princess.
FARQUAAD
From who?
GINGY
Do you know the Muffin Man?
FARQUAAD

GINGY

FARQUAAD
Yes. I know the Muffin Man. Who lives on Drury Lane?
GINGY
Well, I heard it from the Muffin Man.
FARQUAAD
The Muffin Man?!
GINGY
The Muffin Man!
FARQUAAD
(thoughtful, to himself)
He heard it from the Muffin Man...
GINGY
Can I go now?
FARQUAAD
You haven t told me where she is!
GINGY
I can t!
FARQUAAD
You must!
GINGY

FARQUAAD

(FARQUAAD reaches for GINGY s buttons.)
GINGY
No! Not the buttons! Not my gumdrop buttons!
