...MOVIES I just saw "Shrek." I thought it was very great and I loved the Eddie Murphy donkey. I thought he was very funny. I really liked "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." I saw it a couple of weeks ago at Camp David. That's where we usually see movies. We've seen some here, [at the White House] of course, but we always see them on the weekend when we're at Camp David.

They used chalk to write on the charcoal-stained walls how much they owed neighbors...
...ears swivelingly alert for false and dangerous notes. His vocal characterization is supplied by Eddie Murphy, and it is fair to say that not since Robin Williams in Aladdin has an actor so deliciously appropriated a movie. Whether he's fending off the sudden amorous attentions of Fiona's dragon, proposing an evening of man-to-man conversation with Shrek--to be followed by a waffle breakfast he's willing to whip up--or dealing with a twitching eye brought on by his many stressful adventures, no one has ever made a funnier jackass of himself than Murphy...
