You Belong To Me

In the movie Shrek, it is very romantic when Shrek and Princess Fiona are sitting near a campfire having dinner on the last day of their journey.

Princess Fiona: Mmmm... This is good... mmm... this is really good... what is it?
Shrek: A weed rat, cooked rotisserie style!
Princess Fiona: No kidding... Oh, this is delicious!
Shrek: Well, they're also great in stews. Now I don't mean to brag, but I make a MEAN weedrat stew! [They both look over at the kingdom of Duloc]
Princess Fiona: I guess I'll be dining a little differently tomorrow night...
Shrek: Maybe you can come visit me in the swamp sometime... I'll cook all kinds of stuff for you: swamp toad soup, fish-eye tartar, you name it!
Princess Fiona: I'd like that... [he sucks up a weedrat tail, and awkwardly laughs. She smiles back at him, and their eyes meet. In the background, a love ballad, "You Belong To Me," plays]
Shrek: Um... Princess?
Princess Fiona: Yes... Shrek?
Shrek: I... um... I was wondering... are you... um... are you going to eat that? [he makes a gesture of frustration when she isn't looking. She places the weedrat in his hand, and they lean towards each other... ]

I think the person that said the one word definition of a fairy tale is SHARING is absolutely right. I would share my weedrat in a heartbeat.
