the funniest thing about the princess bride both in the book and the movie is that inigo is going off on tangents left and right, claiming that the scream they heard had to have been the man in black for no reason other than he should probably be in emotional agony right now, resurrecting him as soon as he finds the man dead, and launching a massive plot to break into the castle and kill the man who killed his father while also getting the woman he helped kidnap to not marry the prince and this whole time fezzik is just like. "well. my husband is losing it. but he's been right about everything so far so we might as well keep going idk"

Some of my favorite quotes from The Princess Bride book (so far)
Stew pt. 1 "Buttercup's mother hesitated, then put her stew spoon down. (This was after stew but so is everything. When the first man clambered from the slime and made his first home on land, what he had for supper was stew.)"
Stew pt. 2 "Buttercup's mother whirled on him. 'Did you forget to pay your taxes?' (This was after taxes. But everything is after taxes. Taxes were here even before stew.)"
After Buttercup makes her declaration of love to Westley: "He closed the door in her face."
"'Rest then,' her mother cautioned. 'Terrible things can happen when you're overtired. I was overtired the night your father proposed.'"
"'Your father is dying.' 'Drat!' said the prince. "That means I shall have to get married.'"
"...whereas now she had five full-time hairdressers who managed things for her. (This was long after hairdressers; in truth, ever since there have been women, there have been hairdressers, Adam being the first, though the King James scholars so their very best to muddy this point.)"
"'I don't like killing a girl,' the Spaniard said.
'God does it all the time; if it doesn't bother Him, don't let it bother you.'"
“'I am your Prince and you will marry me," Humperdinck said. Buttercup whispered, 'I am your servant and I refuse.'
'I am you Prince and you cannot refuse.'
'I am your loyal servant and I just did.'
'Refusal means death.'
'Kill me then.'
Then later Buttercup says to Humperdinck: "'I will never love you.'
"'I wouldn't want it if I had it.'
'Then by all means let us get married.'"
