origins.

Shrek: For your information, there's a lot more to ogres than people think. 
Donkey: Example? 
Shrek: Example... uh... ogres are like onions! 

[holds up an onion, which Donkey sniffs] 

Donkey: They stink? 
Shrek: Yes... No! 
Donkey: Oh, they make you cry? 
Shrek: No! 
Donkey: Oh, you leave 'em out in the sun, they get all brown, start sproutin' little white hairs... 
Shrek: [peels an onion] NO! Layers. Onions have layers. Ogres have layers. Onions have layers. You get it? We both have layers. 
Donkey: Oh, you both have LAYERS. Oh. You know, not everybody like onions. What about cake? Everybody loves cake! 
Shrek: I don't care what everyone else likes! Ogres are not like cakes. 
Donkey: You know what ELSE everybody likes? Parfaits! Have you ever met a person, you say, "Let's get some parfait," they say, "Hell no, I don't like no parfait"? Parfaits are delicious! 
Shrek: NO! You dense, irritating, miniature beast of burden! Ogres are like onions! End of story! Bye-bye! See ya later.
