When Jack turns him down, Pitch has a pained look on his face, then his expression changes into that of rage; he deceives Jack, breaks his staff and throws him down a crevasse.

- Shrek: In the first movie Shrek hears Fiona (who was in her ogre form due to a curse) tell Donkey that how could someone love anybody who's so ugly (she was talking about herself in her ogre form) and says that's why she can't be with Shrek. Shrek believes she was talking about him and acts very coldly towards Fiona, rebuffing her attempts to talk to him and screaming at Donkey to leave him alone. He also is shown weeping at home while sitting down to eat which mirrors Fiona crying at the castle due to her sadness at having to marry Farquaad when she loves Shrek and at Shrek's rejection of her. Fortunately, even though he was ordered not to, Donkey returns to Shrek's swamp anyway to explain what really happened and to get back at Shrek for being so mean besides.

Donkey: 'Cause that's what friends do: THEY FORGIVE EACH OTHER!
