Don’t die, Shrek. And if you see any long tunnels, stay away from the light.
— Shrek • 2001

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker first begs Shrek not to die, then adds a warning about avoiding light in a long tunnel. The second instruction turns an imagined passage toward death into something that can be navigated. The contrast between urgent concern and practical-sounding directions gives the plea its comic edge.
