I had just turned nine when The Princess Bride came out. I saw it twice in the theaters, and probably between 80 and 100 times since then. I wore out two VHS tapes of it and now have the DVD on standby. I read William Goldman’s novel that it was based on. I can recite not only the lines but the cuts and camera angles. It’s probably not healthy.
So yeah, I kinda enjoyed “Good Morning America’s” piece on the cast reuniting; it’s fun to see the actors reflect on the lines that get quoted the most. Of course, it’s not the ENTIRE cast. I guess Mandy Patinkin and Fred Savage were too busy with their big important TV careers to show up (Savage is an active TV director now).
Also absent: Andre the Giant and Peter Falk

PRINCESS BRIDE QUOTE THREAD. AAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNDDD GO.
Wow, I almost didn’t recognize Chris Sarandon. And no Christopher Guest?
And please, be honest, it’s for posterity.
I wonder if he’s using the same wind that we’re using.
Have fun storming the castle
“As you wish” and “Inconceivable” are for amateurs. My favorites:
“Murdered by pirates is good!” and “Yes, you’re very smart. Shut up.”
I need to read the book. I do love this movie so very much. And, to hurt my soul, my 24 year old co-worker just said that she has never seen this movie and whenever anyone mentions “Princess Bride” she thinks they mean “Princess Diaries.” *sigh*
There’s a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. T’would be a pity to damage yours.
Man, that was fantastic. Thanks for that.
They’re kissing again. Do we have to read the kissing parts?
Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?
Morons.
“Give us the gate key.”
“I have no gate key.”
“Fezzik, tear his arms off.”
“Oh, you mean THIS gate key.”
That was cool.
“I am the dread Pirate Roberts…I am here for you SOULS!”
Where was I?
Australia.
Yes, Australia!
good night Wesley, sleep well, ill most likely kill u in the morning.
Dang, I was going to do the gate key one.
+1 @stallonewolf
I wept when “they” canceled “Oswald”….
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Never get involved in a land war in Asia.
I hate waiting.
My way’s not very sportsmanlike.
“If we only had a wheelbarrow, that would be something!”
I do not envy you the headache you will have when you awake. But for now, rest well and dream of large women.
Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line
“We’ll never survive.”
“Nonsense. You’re only saying that because no one ever has.”
-Look, are you just fiddling around with me or what?
-I just want you to feel you’re doing well.
“No more rhymes! I mean it!”
“Anybody want a peanut?”
MY FATHER’S FINAL WORDS WERE…LOVE HER AS I LOVED HER AND THERE WILL BE JOY!
“Surrender.”
“You mean you wish to surrender to me? Very well, I accept.”
To this day, part of me wishes someone murdered my father, so that I could hunt him down and say:
“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”
Humperdink: *after smelling the empty iocane powder container* Iocane powder! I’d bet my life on it.
“There’s a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. T’would be a pity to damage yours.”
There will be BLOOD TONIGHT!
“Mawwiage. Mawwiage is wot bwings us togevver today. Maqqiage, that bwessed awwangement… that dweam wivvin a dweam…”
As you wish>
Dammit. Duplicate post+typo=double fail
Humperdinck: First things first, to the death.
Westley: No. To the pain.
Humperdinck: I don’t think I’m quite familiar with that phrase.
Westley: I’ll explain and I’ll use small words so that you’ll be sure to understand, you warthog-faced buffoon.
Humperdinck: That may be the first time in my life a man has dared insult me.
Westley: It won’t be the last. “To the pain” means the first thing you lose will be your feet, below the ankles, then your hands at the wrists. Next, your nose.
Humperdinck: [losing his patience] And then my tongue, I suppose. I killed you too quickly the last time, a mistake I don’t mean to duplicate tonight.
Westley: I wasn’t finished! The next thing you lose will be your left eye, followed by your right —
Humperdinck: [exasperated] And then my ears. I understand! Let’s get on with it —
Westley: WRONG! 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.
Humperdinck: I think you’re bluffing.
Westley: It’s possible, Pig, I might be bluffing. It’s conceivable, you miserable, vomitous mass, that I’m only lying here because I lack the strength to stand. But, then again… perhaps I have the strength after all. [slowly rises and points sword directly at the prince] Drop. Your. Sword.
I can’t emphasize enough how badly I want to say this to someone someday.
“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?”
“I’m going to do him left-handed…”
“You know what a hurry we’re in!”
It’s not my fault being the biggest and the strongest. I don’t even exercise.
You must be that little Spanish brat I taught a lesson to all those years ago. You’ve been chasing me your whole life only to fail now? I think that’s about the worst thing I’ve ever heard.
How marvelous.
“We are men of action – lies do not become us.”
“Well spoke.”
Argh, Smello. OK.
“Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.”
Inigo: You seem like a decent fellow, I hate to kill you.
Westley: You seem like a decent fellow, I hate to die.
“I could give you my word as a Spaniard,”
“No good. I’ve known too many Spaniards.”
I’m on the brute squad.
You are the brute squad!
Whatever, I can hum the music to the baseball game he is playing at the start of the movie.
Bum-ba-ba-bu-ba-bum….bu-bum-ba-bu-bu-bubum…*whooooooo
*that “whooooo” is the sound the ball makes as it’s being pitched.
GREATEST THREAD EVER!
You just wiggled your finger! That’s fantastic!
OMG my internet has been down all day and then I come online to read this?! I feel like someone just handed me a Matisse or a Picasso! The Internet needs to put this post/thread in a gilded frame and hang it in the Louvre.
I love this movie irrationally and use it as a barometer of if I will get along with someone or not.
I kid you not, when I get married next June my dad is doing the ceremony and he is starting it by saying “Mawwiage. Mawwiage is wut bwings us togever twoday. Dat bewessed awangement; dat dweam wiffin a dweem.” I pretty much anticipate it being the highlight of my entire life.
Move the thing! And…that other thing! Move it!
My dad and I frequently have conversations like this thread. Anecdotally, Blazing Saddles is the only movie more quotable than Princess Bride.
“Are we awake?”
Are we black?
Get used to disappointment.
My Rabbi started my wedding with Mawwaige! Mawwaige is what brings us together today… It was his defining moment. His favorite movie, as it is ours..
I was once on a Southwest flight and when the captain introduced him self over the PA he said: “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya.” I figured that was a sign we were in good hands.
Buttercup: Westley, what about the R.O.U.S.’s?
Westley: Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don’t think they exist.
[Immediately, an R.O.U.S. attacks him]
Your strength, his steel and my brains against 60 men and you think a little head jiggle is supposed to make me happy, hmmmm?
Inigo Montoya: You are sure nobody’s follow’ us?
Vizzini: As I told you, it would be absolutely, totally, and in all other ways inconceivable. No one in Guilder knows what we’ve done, and no one in Florin could have gotten here so fast. – Out of curiosity, why do you ask?
Inigo Montoya: No reason. It’s only… I just happened to look behind us and something is there.
Vizzini: What? Probably some local fisherman, out for a pleasure cruise, at night… in… eel-infested waters…
Damn, late to the party, but I see no one has touched Peter Cook:
“Mawrage. Mawrage is wot bwings us togevver, toooday”
Well, apart from that Simon fella. *growls at Simon*
and there they were four white horses and i thought there are four of us, if we find the lady. Hello, lady!
Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there’s usually only one thing you can do.
What’s that?
Go through his pockets and look for loose change
