William Goldman

I am as devoted to adventure now as then, and that__ never going to stop.

I know something you do not know. I am not left-handed either.

Hello there," Inigo hollered when he could wait no more.The man in black glanced up and grunted."I've been watching you."The man in black nodded."Slow going," Inigo said."Look, I don't mean to be rude," the man in black said finally, "but I'm rather busy just now, so try not to distract me.""I'm sorry," Inigo said.The man in black grunted again."I don't suppose you could speed things up," Inigo said."If you want to speed things up so much," the man in black said, clearly quite angry now, "you could lower a rope or a tree branch or find some other helpful thing to do.

He's gaining on us," the Turk said. "That is also inconceivable," the Sicilian said. "Before I stole this boat we're in, I made many inquiries as to what was the fastest ship on all of Florin Channel and everyone agreed it was this one." "You're right," the Turk agreed, staring back. "He isn't gaining on us. He's just getting closer, that's all.

May my hands fall from my wrists before I kill an artist like yourself," said the man in black. "I would as soon destroy da Vinci. However"__nd here he clubbed Inigo's head with the butt of his sword_"since I can't have you following me either, please understand that I hold you in the highest respect.

Princess. By S. Morgenstern. It's a kids' classic. Tell him I'll quiz him on it when I'm back next week and that he doesn't have to like it or anything, but if he doesn't, tell him I'll kill myself. Give him that message exactly please; I wouldn't want to apply any extra pressure or anything.

Do I love you? My God, if your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches.

And when she at last came out, her eyes were dry. Her parents stared up from their silent breakfast at her. They both started to rise but she put a hand out, stopped them. __ can care for myself, please,_ and she set about getting some food. They watched her closely. In point of fact, she had never looked as well. She had entered her room as just an impossibly lovely girl. The woman who emerged was a trifle thinner, a great deal wiser, and an ocean sadder. This one understood the nature of pain, and beneath the glory of her features, there was character, and a sure knowledge of suffering. She was eighteen. She was the most beautiful woman in a hundred years. She didn__ seem to care. __ou__e all right?_ her mother asked. Buttercup sipped her cocoa. __ine,_ she said. __ou__e sure?_ her father wondered. __es,_ Buttercup replied. There was a very long pause. __ut I must never love again._ She never did.

I understand everything,_ he said.__ou understand nothing, but it really doesn__ matter, since what you mean is, you__e glad to see me, just as I__ glad to see you because no more loneliness.___hat__ what I mean,_ said Fezzik.

Do you love me, Westley? Is that it?_ He couldn__ believe it. __o I love you? My God, if your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches. If your love were__ __ don__ understand the first one yet,_ Buttercup interrupted. She was starting to get very excited now. __et me get this straight. Are you saying my love is the size of a grain of sand and yours is this other thing? Images just confuse me so__s this universal business of yours bigger than my sand? Help me, Westley. I have the feeling we__e on the verge of something just terribly important._ __ have stayed these years in my hovel because of you. I have taught myself languages because of you. I have made my body strong because I thought you might be pleased by a strong body. I have lived my life with only the prayer that some sudden dawn you might glance in my direction. I have not known a moment in years when the sight of you did not send my heart careening against my rib cage. I have not known a night when your visage did not accompany me to sleep. There has not been a morning when you did not flutter behind my waking eyelids_.Is any of this getting through to you, Buttercup, or do you want me to go on for a while?_ __ever stop._ __here has not been__ __f you__e teasing me, Westley, I__ just going to kill you._ __ow can you even dream I might be teasing?_ __ell, you haven__ once said you loved me._ __hat__ all you need? Easy. I love you. Okay? Want it louder? I love you. Spell it out, should I? I ell-oh-vee-ee why-oh-you. Want it backward? You love I._ __ou are teasing now; aren__ you?_ __ little maybe; I__e been saying it so long to you, you just wouldn__ listen. Every time you said __arm boy do this_ you thought I was answering __s you wish_ but that__ only because you were hearing wrong. __ love you_ was what it was, but you never heard, and you never heard.

Life is pain. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something.

Nobody knows anything...... Not one person in the entire motion picture field knows for a certainty what's going to work. Every time out it's a guess and, if you're lucky, an educated one.

Westley: This is true love _ you think this happens every day?

The hollowness was in his arms and the world was snowing.

I've been saying it so long to you, you just wouldn't listen. Every time you said 'Farm Boy do this' you thought I was answering 'As you wish' but that's only because you were hearing wrong. 'I love you' was what it was, but you never heard.

The Countess was considerably younger than her husband. All of her clothes came from Paris (this was after Paris) and she had superb taste. (This was after taste too, but only just. And since it was such a new thing, and since the Countess was the only lady in all Florin to posses it, is it any wonder she was the leading hostess in the land?)

It was only when the giant got halfway down the incline that he suddenly, happily, burst into flame and continued his trip saying, "NO SURVIVORS, NO SURVIVORS!" in a manner that could only indicate deadly sincerity.It was seeing him happily burning and advancing that startled the Brute Squad to screaming. And once that happened, why, everybody panicked and ran...
