The Princess Bride (film)/Quotes

""'To the pain' means that the first thing you lose will be your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists, next your nose... The next thing you lose will be your left eye, followed by your right... Your ears you keep, and I'll tell you why: so that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish; every babe that weeps at your approach; every woman who cries out, 'Dear God! What is that thing?' will echo in your perfect ears. That is what 'to the pain' means; it means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery, forever.""

- Westley

""Hello. My Name Is Inigo Montoya. You Killed My Father. Prepare to Die.""

""Life is pain, Highness. Anybody who says otherwise is selling something.""

- Westley

"Inigo: I swear on my honor as a Spaniard.

Westley: No good. I've known too many Spaniards."

"Vizzini: Inconceivable!

Inigo: You Keep Using That Word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

"Inigo: (during a swordfight) You are amazing.

Westley: Thank you. I've worked hard to become so.

Inigo: I must admit that you are better than I am.

Westley: Then why are you smiling?

Inigo: Because I know something you don't know.

Westley: And what is that?

Inigo: I Am Not Left Handed!

(later in the duel)

Westley: There's something I ought to tell you ...

Inigo: What? Tell me.

Westley: I'm not left-handed either."

""As you wish.""
