And now for the official Westley is cranky moment...

"Faithfulness he talked of, madam. Your enduring faithfulness. Now, tell me truly. When you found out he was gone, did you get engaged to your prince that same hour, or did you wait a whole week out of respect for the dead?"

And in my perfect, slightly feminist re-write of this Buttercup's line should be, "How about you find a local job next time, Wes."

"I wasn't nervous ... Well, maybe I was a little bit concerned. But that's not the same thing." - The Grandson

I'm sorry young man, but as a chief expert on concern/nervousness/axiety, I assure you it's the same thing.

" All right: where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right and who is dead." - Westley

"Kill the dark one and the giant, but leave the third for questioning." - Count Rugen

So is the dark one Westley because of his clothes, or Inigo because he has dark hair??? I've always been confused by this.

"Give us the gate key." - Westley
"I have no gate key." - Yellin
"Fezzik, tear his arms off. " - Inigo
"Oh, you mean this gate key." - Yellin

...this reminds me of the Star Wars line about why you let Wookies win :)

" Well, it just so happens that your friend here is only mostly dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead." - Miracle Max

...along with many of the villians in Science Fiction television shows. Tracy and I are talking about writing a book together and one of my demands is that if we kill a villain he/she has to STAY DEAD. No more Cigarette Smoking Man/Sylar/Lex Luthor syndrome thank you very much.

"You keep using that word -- I do not think it means what you think it means." -Inigo

There's some words like that in some foreign languages I barely know, for example if you doing something stupid in Spain don't say "Estoy embarazada" - it does not mean what you think it means. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embarazada.
