[sh-] Shrek is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop where he is feeling quite sweaty. He goes over to the bathroom 戶 door and tears it out with his ogre strength. Then he coats it with some sticky 羽 feathers that he has in his pocket to turn it into a gigantic 扇 fan. He sits on the toilet and fans himself with his 扇 fan as he goes to the bathroom.
