The Princess Bride (*one of the most quotable movies I know*)
Valerie:
Think it'll work?
Miracle Max: It would take a miracle.
Inigo Montoya: My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to
die.
Westley: We are men of action; lies do not become us.
Westley: Give us the gate key.
Yellin: I have no gate key.
Inigo Montoya: Fezzik, tear his arms off.
Yellin: Oh, you mean *this* gate key.
Westley: I mean, if we only had a wheelbarrow, that would be something.
Inigo Montoya: Where we did we put that wheelbarrow the albino had?
Fezzik: Over the albino, I think.
Westley: Well, why didn't you list that among our assets in the first place?
Miracle Max: Have fun stormin' da castle!
Vizzini: Probably some local fisherman, out for a pleasure cruise, at night...
in... eel-infested waters...
Inigo Montoya: I do not mean to pry, but you don't by any chance happen to
have six fingers on your right hand?
Westley: Do you always begin conversations this way?
Inigo Montoya: You seem a decent fellow, I hate to kill you.
Westley: You seem a decent fellow, I hate to die.
Vizzini: Ha-ha, you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders,
the most famous of which is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia,"
but only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian,
when death is on the line!"
Buttercup: You mocked me once. Never do it again!
Westley: There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. 'Twould be a
pity to damage yours.
Fezzik: Why do you wear a mask? Were you burned by acid, or something like
that?
Westley: Oh no. It's just they're terribly comfortable. I think everyone will
be wearing them in the future.
Minister: Mawwiage. Mawwiage is what bwings us togetha today.
Miracle Max: Whew-hoo, look who knows so much. This man is only MOSTLY dead,
see there's a difference between mostly dead, and all dead.
Westley: As you wish.
Buttercup: We'll never survive.
Westley: Nonsense, you only say that because nobody ever has.
Westley: Life is pain, Highness! Anyone who says otherwise is selling something.
Inigo Montoya: Who are you?
Westley: No one of consequence.
Inigo Montoya: I must know...
Westley: Get used to disappointment.
Fezzik: We face each other as God intended. Sportsmanlike. No tricks, no weapons,
skill against skill alone.
Man in Black: You mean, you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword,
and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?
Buttercup: We'll never succeed. We may as well die here.
Westley: No, no. We have already succeeded! I mean, what are the three terrors
of the Fire Swamp? One, the flame spurt - no problem! There's a popping sound
preceding each; we can avoid that. Two, the lightning sand, which you were
clever enough to discover what that looks like, so in the future we can avoid
that too.
Buttercup: Westley, what about the R.O.U.S.'s?
Westley: Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist.
Buttercup: You can't hurt me. Westley and I are joined by the bonds of love.
And you cannot track that, not with a thousand bloodhounds, and you cannot
break it, not with a thousand swords.
Prince Humperdinck: Tyrone, you know how much I love watching you work. But
I've got my country's 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my
wife to murder, and Guilder to frame for it. I'm swamped!
Count Rugen: Get some rest. If you haven't got your health, you haven't got
anything.
Count
Rugen: As you know, the concept of the suction pump is centuries old. And
really, that's all this is, except that instead of sucking water, I'm sucking
life. I've just sucked one year of your life away. I might one day go as high
as five, but I really don't know what that would do to you, so let's just
start with what we have. What did this do to you? Tell me. And remember, this
is for posterity, so... be honest. How do you feel?
Inigo Montoya: Do you hear that Fezzik? That is the sound of ultimate suffering.
My heart made that sound when the six-fingered man killed my father. The Man
in Black makes it now.
Inigo Montoya: Are you the Miracle Max who worked for the king all those years?
Miracle Max: The King's stinking son fired me, and thank you so much for bringing
up such a painful subject. While you're at it, why don't you give me a nice
paper cut and pour lemon juice on it? We're closed!
Miracle Max: Get back, witch!
Valerie: I'm not a witch, I'm your wife! And after what you just said, I'm
not even sure I want to be that any more!
The Grandson: Grandpa, maybe you could come over and read it again to me tomorrow?
Grandpa: As you wish.
Count Rugen: Have you been chasing me your whole life only to fail now? I
think that's the worst thing I ever heard...how marvelous.
Count Rugen: Good heavens, are you still trying to win? You've got an overdeveloped
sense of vengence, that's going to get you in trouble someday.
"My mother said... you must be O, so smart or O, so pleasent. Well, for years I was smart. I pefer pleasent. (*pause*) You may quote me."
"You've never seen me 'very upset'."
