Transcript
(Scene begins at an apartment building, police tapes wrapped on the door. Inside, Kevin Bernard takes off the sheet to reveal... a recently dead bear?)
Kevin Bernard: Victim seems to be one of the Three Bears.
Cyrus Lupo: Which one?
Kevin Bernard: I don't know. (Covers the dead bear back) The furry one! They're bears, for crying out loud! Bigger question is: what's he doin' livin' in New York City?
Cyrus Lupo: Well, LA's too glitzy, Chicago's too cold, but New York is juu--
Kevin Bernard: Okay, I get it! Better start dusting for prints.
(One slam of the door and a camera swipe later... enter Shrek and Donkey.)
Shrek: Not so fast! I believe fairy tale characters are our jurisdiction. (Donkey appears)
Cyrus Lupo: According to who? (Unholsters and aims sidearm)
Shrek: According to Rumpelstiltskin, (Holds up and opens a contract scroll with Rumplestiltskin, "The Rump" on it) who said I could have the life I always wanted.
Kevin Bernard: And you chose to be a New York detective?
Donkey: Trust me, I begged him to be a Gilmore girl.
(Scene goes black)
Announcer: In the criminal justice system, the people are protected by attorneys. The cartoon characters, however... well, let's face it: we just like this title.
(Title card: Law and Ogre)
Donkey: Hee-Haw!
(GOLDILOCKS' APARTMENT
UPPER LOWER EASTERN WEST SIDE)
Shrek: All right, Goldilocks, when was the last time you saw Papa Bear?
Goldilocks: Not since he had me arrested for breaking into his house. And who knew bears had lawyers? Seriously, he's a bear.
Shrek: Well, he's also dead!
Goldilocks: What?! Does that mean his apartment's for rent?
Shrek: Do you know anyone who'd want to hurt Papa Bear?
Goldilocks: Probably another bear, I guess. Hey, uh, you're not gonna tell anyone else about that apartment, are you?
Shrek: Are you getting all this?
Donkey: No, but check this out.
(Scene goes to Donkey's drawing of another donkey riding a skateboard down a rail, however he "Fails")
(Donkey says "Hee-Haw!" and scene suddenly goes black)
(Big Bad Wolfgangbucks
222 Easy Street St.
Tuesday, September 31)
(Scene resumes at Wolfgang Bucks)
Big Bad Wolf: Grumpy Bear? Yeah, he works in the kitchen. Blue bear, shoots rain out of his gut.
Shrek: Notice anything strange about him?
Big Bad Wolf: Other than he's a blue bear who shoots rain out of his gut? Not really, no.
Shrek: Well, he's wanted, in connection with the murder of Papa Bear.
Big Bad Wolf: Papa Bear's been murdered?! Um, that means his apartment's available?
Donkey: Shrek, look!
Shrek: (off-screen) Grumpy Bear!
Grumpy Bear: Care Bear-Stare!
(Grumpy shows his belly, which releases a sonic wave.)
Shrek: Gah!
(Grumpy runs away)
Donkey: What are you doing?
Shrek: Going deep.
(Shrek throws Donkey)
Donkey: Aah!
(Grumpy is seen running)
Donkey: Ooh, Mamma Mia's still playing! (Note to reader: They didn't make this sketch in '08.)
(Grumpy is seen running again)
Donkey: I smell pretzels!
(Donkey catches Grumpy and lands in trash can)
Shrek: That was a Slam Donkey!
(Donkey says "Hee-Haw!" and scene suddenly goes black)
(BAD JOKE!)
(Scene resumes to Shrek)
Shrek: And as soon as he saw us, he took off running.
Princess Fiona: No further questions, your honor.
Grumpy Bear: I object. This court is stacked against me!
(Gavel sounds)
Puss in Boots: What are you talking about?
Grumpy Bear: The prosecutor is his wife, you're one of his friends, and that is definitely not a jury of my peers!
Chicago Bears Player: You're going down!
Chicago Bears: Rah!
Puss in Boots: How does the jury find the defendant?
(Grumpy catches a football and the Chicago Bears tackle him.)
Chicago Bears: Raah!
Puss in Boots: Sounds like guilty to me. Case closed.
(Donkey says "Hee-Haw!" and scene suddenly goes black)
(Is This Over Yet?)
(Scene resumes to Donkey)
Donkey: Shrek, call on line one.
Shrek: (Picks up) Shrek.
???: Grumpy was right, Shrek. You got the wrong bear.
Shrek: Who is this?
???: Hee hee hee hee! I'd love to talk more, but I must go. I'm having a friend for a pic-a-nic.
Shrek: I'll find ya.
???: Ho ho! I don't think so. I'm smarter than the average bear.
(Scene backs up to reveal Yogi Bear.)
Yogi Bear: D'oh! That probably gave it away.
(Yogi Bear hangs up phone and walks to Jellystone Park... probably with Papa Bear's body in his basket.)
(Donkey appears)
Donkey: Hey, look! I drew the credits!
(Scene goes to Donkey's credits and segment officially ends.)
