Princess Bride meme

[kjpepper]

from _kyri of course:

When you see this, post in your own journal with your favorite quote from The Princess Bride.  Preferably not "As you wish" or the Inigo Montoya speech.


Taken out of context, the beginning bit of this sequence of lines is extremely.... suggestive.

INIGO: I'm going to do him left handed.
VIZZINI: You know what a hurry we're in!
INIGO: It's the only way I can be satisfied. If I use my right.... over too quickly.
VIZZINI: Oh, have it your way.
FEZZIK: (concerned) You be careful. People in masks cannot be trusted.

[INIGO nods reassuringly. VIZZINI, FEZZIK and BUTTERCUP leave. Inigo plays with his... sword and looks down the cliff face]

INIGO: Hello there! Slow going?
MAN IN BLACK: (exasperated) Look, I do not mean to be rude, but this isn't as easy as it looks so I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't distract me?
INIGO: Sorry.
MAN IN BLACK: Thank you.

[INIGO plays with his sword a little more but is clearly growing antsy]

INIGO: I do not suppose you could-a speed things up?
MAN IN BLACK: If you're in that much of a hurry you could lower a rope or a tree branch or find something useful to do.
INIGO: I could do that, as it happens I have a rope up here but I don't think you'd accept my help, seeing as I only waited up here to kill you.
MAN IN BLACK: ...That does put a damper on our relationship.
INIGO: But I promise I will not kill you until you reach the top.
MAN IN BLACK: That's very comforting, but you're just going to have to wait.
INIGO: I hate waiting... I could give you my word as a Spaniard?
MAN IN BLACK: No good... known too many Spaniards.
INIGO: Well, is there any way you'll trust me?
MAN IN BLACK: Nothing comes to mind.
INIGO: I swear on the soul of my father Domingo Montoya, murdered these 20 years. You will reach the top alive.
MAN IN BLACK: ...Throw me the rope.

And yes. That was COMPLETELY transcribed from memory.

Hatred of Princess..bride...uncontrollable..

[kjpepper.livejournal.com]

*farts at you*

[masteradept.livejournal.com]

You and I both man...

[kjpepper.livejournal.com]

Well, take your hatred to your own sandbox somewhere, will you two? Jeez.

[masteradept.livejournal.com]

Oh its like that!

I mean you do realize that working in a game store I had to hear non ending references to this movie right, it was just as bad as hearing about peoples characters (when I mean characters I mean how Powerful they thought their characters were, not anything about the character or their quirks).

With the caveat that I'm already annoyed today for good reasons...

[kjpepper.livejournal.com]

Sweetie pie, I love you dearly and on another day I'd duly sympathize and cluck over annoying geeks and their fandoms which I happen to share, but right this very second?

Haterade. Your own sandbox. Now.

*hands you a foolish mortal*

You can behead this one...

*reaches for another mortal*
Or eviscerate this one...

The choice is yours?

The choice is yours?

You could get with this? or you could get with that?

great, now I have to listen to that song several million times.... scuse me...

Everything can be turned to fun evil!

Re: See

[kjpepper.livejournal.com]

presenting me with foolish mortals for evisceration _usually_ placates me pretty fast. ;)

Do I look like I've seen "The Princess Bride?"

Who knew this would generate such controversy?

I myself like Miracle Max: "But, you see, he's only mostly dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead ... and all dead." I'm not sure why, but the delivery of that line and the absurd assertion cracks me up to no end.

I also like the exchange when Westley comes back to life and they list their liabilities and assets ("Now if we had a wheelbarrow, that would be something!", etc.) and the following:

WESTLEY: Give us the gate key.
GUARD: I have no gate key.
INIGO: Fezzik, tear his arms off.
GUARD: Oh, you mean this gate key.
