His job is simple: to ward off the legions of [h:商 salesmen] that all want to get into the chapel to sell their wares. One [h:商 salesman] approaches and Shrek takes out a huge [c:fins fin] from his pocket and wacks him across the face, knocking him out.

Ned Flanders repeatedly tells him that Jesus loves him and he doesnt need [h:乃 to be] a set of [c:stairs stairs] that everyone literally walks on.
