THE PRINCESS BRIDE Meme

Ganked from markbernstein, who got it from adelheid_p.

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.

I love so many of the lines by Count Rugen. (Okay, I love the entire flippin' movie. But, still.) And I think the one that breaks me up the most is:

"STOP SAYING THAT!"

I can't not mention, "I'll call the Brute Squad!" "I'm ON the Brute Squad!" "You ARE the Brute Squad!"

"You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means."

[celticmom1967.livejournal.com]

Yeppers!!! I was going to say this.

[nightmarewriter.livejournal.com]

Darn it, this is the one I was going to say.

[sarekofvulcan.livejournal.com]

This isn't the quote I was going to use, but it should have been, because I've actually used it IRL. :-)

I went with the book for my LJ entry, so I'll mention the movie here. One moment that always makes smile is a speech of Fezzik's that includes something like, " . . . there were four horses, and I thought that's one for each of us and one for the lady - hello, lady!"

[kkatowll.livejournal.com]

and I thought, there are four of us if we ever find the lady -- hello lady!

I think one of my favorites is that offhand, "I spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocaine powder."
I love it. Never explained, never mentioned again -- just, Oh, by the way, here's another little something I did with my time (besides becoming a great swordsman and, oh, a pirate captain...)

Wait, no, maybe my favorite is:
"They're terribly comfortable. I think in the future everyone will be wearing them." (another flippant comment about his mask)

Max and Valerie:

Good luck!
Have fun storming the castle!
Think they can do it?
It'd take a miracle.

[celticmom1967.livejournal.com]

And THIS was what came to mind when I saw the one above had been taken.

[jss]

Sorry. :}

[saganth.livejournal.com]

Iocaine! I'd bet my life on it!

[capplor.livejournal.com]

I'm not left-handed either.

Will you hurry it up! I'm climbing as fast as I can.

Will it hurt [nod head] I can handle it [shake head]

There's too many great lines in that movie.

[theturbonerd.livejournal.com]

My favorite (and it is a close race with about 5 other quotes) is:

"Let me 'splain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up."

Too many great quotes in that movie.

[judifilksign.livejournal.com]

That is my favorite, too.

[moonshadowed.livejournal.com]

The entire movie was sheer genius!

[peachtales.livejournal.com]

All of it! :D
Have fun storming the castle!

[his-spiffyness.livejournal.com]

I looked up the movie's memorable quotes page on IMDB. It's like they posted the whole script.

Though I have to go with

"Rodents of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist." [R.O.U.S. Attacks]

[scrummycat.livejournal.com]

"Life is pain, Highness. Anone who says differently is selling something."

[scrummycat.livejournal.com]

Er, that should be Anyone.

Vizzini: "You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous 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! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha..." [falls over dead]

[james-the-evil1.livejournal.com]

"You have an overdeveloped sense of revenge. It's going to get you in trouble one day."

[bayushisan.livejournal.com]

It's not my fault I'm the biggest and the strongest. I don't even exercise.

[seanmonster.livejournal.com]

...rest well and dream of large women.

[liddle-oldman.livejournal.com]

"I want my father, you son of a bitch."

[omimouse.livejournal.com]

Yes. That line.

I actually cried the very first time I saw the movie when he said that.

[drzarron.livejournal.com]

"No one would surrender to the Dread Pirate Westley." which we ALWAYS say when we see Cary Elwes in a movie.

"We are men of action, lies do not become us."

"Mawage"

[dan-ad-nauseam.livejournal.com]

No! To the pain!

[bryanp.livejournal.com]

SO many to choose from. I guess I'll just have to watch it again when I get home from work tonight. Oh darn.

[the-s-guy.livejournal.com]

"Good night Westley, I'll most probably kill you in the morning."

[varseth.livejournal.com]

"Have you ever considered Piracy, my friend?"

"Won't that be nice!" The responce of the aged King to Buttercup after she tells him she plans to commit suicide.

[stonegargoyle.livejournal.com]

"Is this a kissing book?"

[elvnsword.livejournal.com]

"bye bye boys, have fun raiding the castle!!!"

[ginkage.livejournal.com]

My favorite is the exchange on the boat between Inigo, Fezzik, and Vizzini. :>
"That Vizzini, he can *fuss*.
Fuss, fuss... I think he like to scream at *us*.
Probably he means no *harm*.
He's really very short on *charm*.
You have a great gift for rhyme.
Yes, yes, some of the time.
Enough of that.
Fezzik, are there rocks ahead?
If there are, we all be dead.
No more rhyming now, I mean it.
Anybody want a peanut?
DYEEAAHHHHHH."

From the book...

[dr-zrfq.livejournal.com]

...but left on the cutting room floor because someone was a twit... Humperdinck alternating with Buttercup (whom he has just met).

"I am your Prince and you will marry me."
"I am your loyal servant and I refuse."
"I am your Prince and you cannot refuse."
"I am your loyal servant and I just did."
"Refusal means death."
"Kill me then."
"I am your Prince and I'm not that bad -- how could you rather be dead than married to me?"

This scene, BTW, also shows that Buttercup did *NOT* love the Prince, nor he her, as the end of the scene shows. Buttercup first.

"I'll never love you."
"I wouldn't want it if I had it."
"Then by all means let us marry."

[violinsontv.livejournal.com]

"Humperdinck! Humperdinck! Humperdinck! Humperdinck!"

not to mention...

"a dweam within a dweam...."

[sarekofvulcan.livejournal.com]

I've got my country's five hundredth anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder, and Guilder to frame for it. I'm swamped.

"Drop. Your. Sword."

Such a moment. :)
