"Princess Bride" star Patinkin reveals his favorite line in the film

- In this "CBS This Morning" Extra, actor Mandy Patinkin, who played Inigo Montoya in "The Princess Bride," talks about the line that he loves the most from that film.
There’s 2 types of people in this world, those who love princess bride and those who haven’t seen it
Actually, I loaned my VHS tape to a family because we had been talking about Andre the Giant. They returned it saying they didn’t like it. To this day, I do not understand how.
you're fixina hate it when the sequel comes out!!! hahaha
Oddly enough I have only gotten "meh" to "I didn't like it" from the three people I heard back from, after I recommended it. I avoid them now. Granted they were young, and I think a lot of the ideology alluded to humorously in the film might have made them frown (all college aged, all very Marxist, all not fans of comedy or humor).
Meh, I've seen it a lot time ago.
Not a big fan. There's a couple hilarious and quotable moments though.
"Anybody want a peanut?"
I dunno man, I love the movie, but I can see why some wouldn't :) Never heard anyone claim it was a "terrible movie" though, that for me would be weird. But the genre and writing style surely isn't for everyone :)
"Who are you?"
"No one of consequence."
"I must know."
*"Get used to disappointment."*
'Kay.
Yea He wrecked him with that one 🤣🤣
The thing is, that is a really good life lesson!
"No one to be trifled with. That's all you ever need know" was another good one. However, my favorite was "We are men of action. Lies do not become us."
These are lines quoted among my family even now: 2023.
I love that when Mandy does the voice, it still sounds exactly as it did back then. The memories.
We all go back in time thinking as that young child or teenager remembering how we responded and only now somewhat 30 years realising how amazing the cast ensemble and how wonderfully orchestrated this movie was.
When Vizzini screams, "Move that thing...and that other thing."
As a veteran sailor, I still laugh to tears since every single line, sail, nut, bolt, and part on a vessel has a very precise name.
Did you send newbies on a hunt for “water line”?
My grandfather told me they did that to newbies in WWII.
At the airport, we sent someone on a supply run for 6 feet of flight line and a bottle of prop wash. 😂
@@rcschmidt668 I was a ramp agent for a bit and the old timers tried that with me when I started. Fortunately I was in school to be a mechanic and have pilots in the family so I knew better.

@@cameronstewart6636 Thank you.
Yesssss!!!!! This is the favorite line!! Nothing compares to this line!! I drop this line in regular conversation and just watch people faces!! 😂😂
I love the fact that he did the lines in character.
@Amy Sternheim They're great lines to be associated with. If one's ultimate popular culture legacy is to be associated with quotes like that in the definitive Hollywood fairy tale...it's not a bad fate.
There really was no other way to do it but yes I completely agree
Very much
That’s impossible to miss. Just imagine Wallace Sean doing the same interview and only once reciting the word *”INCONCEIVABLE!”*
@Amy Sternheim I've seen him twice in concert and he did it both times, not only in character, but in a fencer's stance.
This was voluntary and I think he enjoys it.
"I do not think he is using the same wind we are using." So, so underrated.
"I wonder if he is using the same wind we are using..."
@@UpRoaryus yes! Thank you. I rarely misquote movies. I am ashamed. Lol
@@garrettplunkett2215 - Don’t worry, it happens to the best us. Your heart is in the right place, and that’s all that matters!! ‘Have fun storming the castle!’
@@garrettplunkett2215 thank you for the correction. I normally wouldn’t care, but this is the Princess Bride we’re talking about. Accuracy counts!
That it does. I'm still kicking myself for the misquote. It's very unlike me.
"Sir sir we are in a terrible rush."
"Don't rush me sonny. You rush a miracle man you get rotten miracles."
He's been mostly dead all day
Is it bad that I can hear this with the characters' voices?? 🤣🤣
Even if I'd never read Disc World novels (specifically the ones featuring the Unseen University) I'd consider that a scary prospect.
My favorite is in response to "INCONCEIVABLE!!"
"You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means "
gulgul2006 That's my favorite too.
That response can you be used for a lot of things these days. It's just perfect.
gulgul2006 Keep Using Capitals At The Start Of Every Word, I Do Not Think You Use Them How You Think You Use Them.
We use it at work all the time. It never gets old. At least that’s what we think.
Mine too!! I use it occasionally!
My favorite line, and perhaps the most meaningful in these times, is: “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” - Inigo Montoya
Yes!! I just posted this line, too. 😁
Inconceivable!
My favorite line, and perhaps the most meaningful at this time is - “Does anybody want a peanut?!” - Fezzik the Giant
Me too.
Agreed. Revenge is a wasted emotion, wasted energy. How small a person must be to want to harm another.
Wesley: "Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something."
A great, and very accurate, line
You never met my family
I have actually said that line, more than once, seriously, since I first watched the movie. Minus the "highness". I also note where it came from, after saying it (there are too many good lines in that movie for it to go unwatched by anyone).
@@mikeg3439 "Life is pain, you just get used to it" -The Long Kiss Goodnight
Unfortunately, of all the lines in the movie that I love so much, this is probably the most quoted by me. Not that I'm a negative person. I'm just a bit more realistic about the motives of most of the people around me.
“He’s only mostly dead”.
Most inspirational line ever captured on film.
“Bup,bup,bup,bup,bup. Look who knows so much”
“I’m not a vitch, I’m your vife”
To blave!!!!
My favorite comes at the end.The Boy asks his grandfather to come back and read the story again
Grandfather: As you wish.
Aww👍🏻
"And by that, what he really meant was ' i love you '. "
Little boy : "Bleck !" 😝
Yeah, that was an adorable touch ;)
😭😭😭
Oh my goodness, yes and of course the little boy knows what it actually means. ❤❤
Going into the Fire Swamp:
Buttercup: "We'll never survive."
Wesley:" Nonsense; you're only saying that because no one ever has." That's my favorite line.
WendelltheSongwriter 😊

@@donaldpaluga I'm not sure about that,my friend! I think they relocated to NY! The only 🐀🦖😆
My favorite exchange in the film has always been:
"How do I know you won't cut the rope?"
"I give you my word as a Spaniard."
"No good. I've known too many Spaniards."
Always make me chuckle.
When he answered that, always thought he never knew too many real Spaniards. 😉
A Spaniard is a man of his word. If he gives it, he honors to it (specially in the XVI century); that's why I love Mandy Patinkin's role in this great movie.
The thing that follows always moves me:
Inigo swears on his dead father that Roberts will reach the top safely, Roberts looks at him and goes "Throw me the rope".
The rest of the scene is also marvelous. Two honorable men fighting a duel while paying the utmost respect towards another. It's great stuff.
@@timolaiostimolaii9727 my reflections on that line have always paralleled yours.... but then I recall that until Wesley was thrown into the midst of a band of cutthroat pirates, he'd never met a Spaniard. That unquestionably shaped his perspective.
My favorite one as well.
Then the only Spaniards he met would have been pirates, yes?
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." is my favourite.
The delivery Mandy Patinkin used is hard for me to replicate. He doesn't stress the word "you." I think his matter-of-fact delivery is why that's such a great line.
And it has so many applications to people's assumptions in all sorts of situations.
When the dread pirate roberts reaches the top of the cliff and draws his sword: "No...when you are ready." That entire exchange of mutual respect is possibly my favorite dialog between two characters in any film, ever.
Yes! And the music playing when Inigo is telling his story. That scene, the sword fight scene, and the battle of wits.
Yes, that feeling of mutual respect hits the #feelz goodly.
that fight always reminded me of captain Kirk fighting the romulan captain in Balance of Terror. the strategy, ability, mutual respect, the chance they would have been friends if on the same side.
Think that was my first life lesson in mutual respect.
Haha I scrolled up to see my comment from 3 months ago. Nice to see I still have a firm understanding of that which matters most. Good member berries!
“Do you have six fingers on your right hand?”
“...do you always begin conversations this way?”
All of the Princess Bride roles were played so beautifully. It's hard to think of them as fictional characters. Everything is so alive with the spirit of creation like a great fairy tale should be.
It's a masterpiece, no doubt, very highly underrated.
It’s absolutely inconceivable that someone would dislike this movie.
I'm a big Wallace Shawn fan
My friend turned that into the notification sound on his computer for an error. It was hilarious and bonded us forever.
One of my favorite aspects to this movie is how Fezzik is portrayed - not as a mindless, idiotic brute but as a unique character with a soul. One who starts out on the "wrong side" of the story but comes around to be a hero all the while displaying a great amount of intelligence, sympathy, compassion, dignity and honor. Fezzik's friendship with Inigo Montoya is one of the great bromances of all time.
"My way is not very sportsmanlike" 😎
He’s my favorite movie character of all time as you can probably tell.
I always looked at him as the Forrest Gump before Forrest Gump.
Much like actual Andre vs the wrestler persona
He's fantastic!
"It's not my fault I'm the biggest and the strongest. I don't even exercise"
RIP Andre

@@skeeterburke The Royal Rumble!!!
It’s so incredible that 20 years later he’s still able to recite these lines as if he did it yesterday. It truly shows how he embodied that character. What a phenomenal actor. Thank you so much for your work, Mandy.
@@username-zj9id I once saw an interview where Mandy claimed that almost every single day since 1987, someone walks up to him and asks him to say The Line. I also did see an interview with him for "60 Minutes" where that was, in fact, the first thing the interviewer asked. He followed it up by saying he loves when it happens, which is good, because if I ever have a chance to meet him, I fully intend to make the same request.
I love that the comment section on anything related to "The Princess Bride" is filled with quotes. It's the most quotable movie I know and my all-time favorite.
I love the moment when Inigo swears on his father's grave that Westley will make it to the top of the cliff alive.
That's the moment that the true depth of his character is revealed and we see he's not just a comedy sidekick.
Due in large part to Patinkin's amazing delivery of the dialogue, and the look in his eye.
Drew Lovelyhell good point! In that one moment you learn of his honor and that there is more to him than just a mercenary
I think everyone who likes the movie should read the book. You get the proper back stories not just for Inigo Montoya (some of which you do get in the film as it is needed to explain his motivation), but also for Fezzik, and it fleshes out their characters a lot.
Hakon Soreide The Morgenstern! Yes!
He's easily my favorite character in the movie.
drew-- just looking at those eyes. handsome intensity!
The whole movie is one fantastic line. Perfectly written.
the entire comment section here only serves as more evidence that nearly EVERY SINGLE LINE is significant and quotable.
The one I use on a regular basis: "Unless I'm wrong, and I'm never wrong."
My wife twist this one on me.
*Unless you’re wrong, and you’re never wrong.*
What she doesn’t realize, when she says this, she’s not wrong either. 😂
My wife's favourite. And she's not seen the film.
"Let me explain...No, there is too much. Let me sum up."
“I could give you my word as a Spaniard!”
“No good, I’ve known too many Spaniards!”
i love that one as well but than there are just so many

"Bye bye boys"

"Think it'll work?"
"It'd take a miracle"
*Keep smiling and waving*
Miracle Max.... Billy Crystal played that role well.
BYEEEEEE!
When our sons were young and going out to catch the bus for school, we sometimes called after them, “So long, boys! Have fun storming the castle!”

“Anybody wanna peanut?”

That Vizzini, he can fuss.
I think he likes to scream at us.
@@rcschmidt668 touché
Not to be picky but it's "no more rhyms now, I mean it!" 😉
I think Inigo is really the heart of the movie. Mandy's performance was just incredible
He's actually the one who has the hero's journey.
When my sons (now in their 30's) were in school, I almost always sent them out the door with the line, "Have fun storming the castle!" We now, often, do it to each other whenever one of us leaves.
That's a very common remark after church on Sundays !!! =D
I love this 😀
Our family does that too!
I always do this when my students head out to do something
My kids and I say this too each other and sometimes to unsuspecting people.
And whenever my kids tell me to go faster I say “I thought I was going faster”
You were supposed to be this colossus, this great legendary thing, and yet he gains”
Best line... Dread Pirate Roberts says to the giant, “Sleep well and dream of large women.”
Laurie Butts that line 😆 cracks me up every time
"Anybody want a peanut?"
@@Pasakoye "I do" says Captain Jack Sparrow.
That line has personal meaning for me. I am 6 foot 6 tall. About 360. I have size 4XL gloves. My shoes are a size 16.
MY FAVORITE!!! (I'm a large woman.)
"You've fallen for the second most famous blunder in the world. The first is never get involved in a land war in Asia."
The greatest thing that Indigo Montoya achieved through his quest for revenge was closure. To me, when I watched it as a 49 year old man, that I didn't catch while watching it in my 20's was the overwhelming sense of closure, after making his father proud, was such a tremendous sense of closure, that he had no other direction to turn. If he died in that moment, he would have left this world a fulfilled man. Alas, the Dread Pirate Roberts would live on through Indigo Montoya. That left a deeply profound feeling of motivation in my life as a 49 year old man.
You seem a decent fellow, I hate to kill you. You seem a decent fellow, I hate to die. That is my favorite
Honestly it's hard to choose only one between so many epic lines, but that is also one of my favorites dialogues in the movie.
I like when Roberts see's the gate guarded, and asks for the exact list of props used by the giant and swordsman earlier.
I LOVE that line! The whole movie is so quotable, but that's one of my favorites.
AGREED
It showed so much respect & contest between the two men.
"get back witch!"
"I'm not a witch, I'm ur wife!" 🤣
"But after what you just said, I'm not even sure I want to be that anymore!"

@@sarahneuren7057 "You never had it so good."
I like that part in the movie then she starts saying prince Humperdinck's name over and over and I love what miracle max is doing when she's doing that I was giggling like crazy
It's not my favourite line, but probably the one I've quoted most often, in Carol Kane's accent: "LIAAAAAR!"
I am so glad I got to hear Mandy Patinkin say "I am Inigo ...." One time in his older more gravely voice... He's right, those are his best two lines... But I've especially always loved the second one. He had a great spotlight aura in that scene... U just knew Inigo was going to have an epic life...
Oh how I've always loved both this movie & Mandy Patinkin...
"I have been in the revenge business so long, now it is over I do not know what to do with my life". A serious line ending one of the greatest movies.
_"Have you ever considered piracy? You'd make a wonderful Dread Pirate Roberts."_ Westley in that moment did something incredibly good for his new friend. _"There's not a lot of money in the revenge business, I just work for Vizzini to pay the bills."_ Westley was well aware that that Inigo was an incredibly skilled fighter and needed money, so he gave him a lucrative new direction in life that he knew he would excel at, but also gave him a new direction to sail in. _"And the sea shall bring each man new hope, as sleep brings dreams" ~ Christopher Columbus as quoted by Marko Ramius._
My favorite: "Life is pain! Anyone who says otherwise is selling something"
One slight hitch play
Dr. House?
I knew that line is TRUTH the moment a heard it.
Pain results from not living life as well as you could be. Suffering, is the result of ignoring that pain for too long.

‘Stop rhyming, I mean it!’
‘Anybody want a peanut’

YAY!! You beat me to it 🤗🤗
God bless Andre!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was really hoping this would be the line, but I guess that other thing was fine too
"Have fun storming the castle!" - love Billy Crystal's bit part.
I saw this movie in the theatre across the street from my dorm in college. The only reason my friend and watched it was because there were no other options. It was literally the only movie being played. Boy am I glad we saw it. This is a universally loved movie packed with good heart, great lines, and a bit of razzle dazzle. A must-watch classic.
I think that if we go through every favorite line listed from all the comments and put them in order we might wind up with a completed script, and doesn’t that just say everything about the power of this movie

I LOVE that line too.
I didn't have to miss...
@@Shuvvel I believe you
The line that gave me goosebumps was: "I swear on the soul of my father, Domingo Montoya, you will reach the top alive.". Then, Wesley trusted him...
I have never met Mandy Patinkin, but every anecdote I have ever heard of someone meeting him in real life is the same: that he is a wonderful, warm person and a friend to all. This video confirms that impression of him to me.
I saw him in concert a few years ago. He was amazingly warm and funny. You could tell how much he loved doing what he was doing--it came out as pure joy. Even when he messed up words, he made a joke of it (something like, fugg it, I'm old, you can't expect me to remember everything) and just went on. He even had us do the hokey pokey with him....in Yiddish.
What a great night.
@@tracyroweauthor Was he still doing show tunes? One of my most cherished childhood memories was when my mother (since deceased) and I would sing songs from Mandy Patinkin albums together.
@@davidlandry3487 oh absolutely. I think he still tours too. He also has a facebook that he will friend anyone on, and he's on tiktok and he is very funny
Creators: please please please dont remake this. Its already perfect.
Cut to the pandemic...
My favorite line from Inigo Montoya is "I want my father back, you son of a bitch."
+Brian Stuart We have to mute that line whenever I watch the movie with my young nieces. If we get to the scene and my brother doesn't already have the remote in hand they all get into a near panic, "Dad! He's about to say the bad word!". It can be almost as amusing as the movie itself, albeit not quite so quotable.
+Leroy Robertson I like that like because you can see the pain in Patinkin's face when he says it.
We know now that he (Patinkin) had just lost his father and it's amazing how he says it.
+Joseph Parrish If I were to concede that the word has no significance (which I do not), it would still be incumbent upon me to observe my brother's wishes where the rearing of his children are concerned.
+Joseph Parrish I don't think we share enough common ground to hold a constructive conversation, so I am going to refrain from further comment. You are free to troll elsewhere.
+Leroy Robertson I don't think he was trolling. I just think he his beliefs about freedom and that they clash with yours. I think it's irresponsible to imply someone is just trying to get a rise out of you, simply because they disagree. If that is not what you were implying, I am curious to know what you think trolling means.
My father committed suicide when he was 56 and I was 32, the same day my chiropractic license in my state became active. This movie has such deep meaning for me because my Dad is the one who got me to watch this film. He had the CD soundtrack to this movie loaded in his player in his home office and liked to listen to it. He loved the Story Book Hero song (main theme). I fell in love with how pure of a movie this is in every aspect from the story telling, the actors and the music. It holds the test of time and is great for all ages. It is hard to no tear up when I hear the song. I definitely have never forgotten the line "My name is Inigo Montoya......" Mandy is one of the great actors of our time because he is so genuine like an Alan Thicke. Thank you for being a part of life's memories.
Thank you for sharing your story, I hope your father is at peace 🙏
I love reading everyone’s favorite lines/scenes from this movie!
Hey Ovel. Exactly what I was thinking. What makes this comment stream such a joy, is that it's close to being the whole script, but in pick-and-mix style. Great book, and as close to film perfection as I could imagine.💙
🏴☠ T.D.P.R. Sometimes cited to great effect in T.V. series 🙂
There are 48 dislikes? Fezzik, jog their memory!
I'm sorry Inigo...I didn't mean to jog him so hard.
The dislikes are probably associated to Mandy's 'supposed' public persona in the industry. I don't know him personally, but I've liked his work.
Seriously. People need to chill. Lol
Are you kidding? fezzik, tear their arms off.
Lol
"Please understand I hold you in the highest respect"

Kids of today will never believe you ;)
Not in politics, anymore. Sadly.
When I was a kid, “as you wish,” was my favorite line. I’ll have to watch it again to see which line would be my new favorite.
Loved this man in the movie, love him more after this interview!❤️ Still one of my favorites ,and I’m 62 yrs old.
“Anybody got a peanut” you can almost feel Andre laughing as he says it.
no more rhymes now, I mean it. What a masterpiece, from front to back. Love this movie.
@John M: I thought it was, "Does anybody want a peanut?"
Stop it now, I mean it!
Glad to know that this is genuinely someone else's favorite line too 😂
I think about this ALL THE TIME and I've only seen the movie one time
I love when Inigo says "You did something right" and Fezzik says "Don't worry. I won't let it go to my head." At first listen, it might seem like a mean thing for Inigo to say. But Inigo's facial expression and tone of voice say what his words don't. The whole exchange just tells us so much about their relationship. They're brothers for life and it's so sweet.
I've thumbs-upped two of your comments already. You type nicely. Keep 'em coming!
“We are men of action. Lies do not become us.” Wesley to Count Rugen when he’s falsely told he will be returned to his ship.
I think of that line almost every day. 🤗
For me this line was really interesting because I spent so long taking care of my mom and others that I realized I didn't know who I was beyond caretaker.
Yes. Also when all the kids have left the nest.
I have loved that film ever since a friend dragged me to see it in the theatres without telling me ANYTHING at all about it besides: "Trust me. It's YOUR kind of movie."
As confused as I was when the opening scene began, thinking, "What, my kind of movie is about a kid? or baseball? Are we in the right theater - how is this called 'Princess Bride'? What the hell is going on!?"I had no idea of the journey on which I was about to embark. My pal put her feet up on the chair in front of her and munched some popcorn, smiling and silent at my raised eyebrow of bewilderment and skepticism. And then I was immediately drawn in and never looked back. I still think it is one of the greatest movies, if not THE best movie, I have ever seen. Suffice it to say, she was right. And should she ever have another film to recommend for me to enjoy, trust her, I will indeed.
I recently read some of Goldman's thoughts and reminiscings about it including that:
- it was written for his own daughters as a bedtime tale originally and
- he spent pretty much everything he had to keep the rights to it he didn't want anyone soiling that with greed and BS and whatever else the studio execs do to screw up a wonderful story,
- Mandy helped the Fezzik character come to life when he SLAPPED Andre in the face one day
- They never released a trailer for it because it was so uncategorizable and impossible to convey in a bunch of snippets without looking ludicrously bad (which explains the frustration I had with finding out what the heck movie my pal was dragging me to see because it sounded suspiciously like a mushy "kissing book" type story of ick...)
- It opened to truly horrible box office failure, but
- as other films lose audience as the weekends pass after opening huge, this one exhibited steady box office GROWTH as word of mouth began to spread, and people like my friend would go to see it again dragging their buddies in tow.
- It was the first film historically to make MORE than it did in theatres once it was released on Home Video. ( It seems everyone else, like me, couldn't wait for it to hit the bargain bin and had to have it RIGHT NOW for their own collection. It remains, to this day, the only video release I have ever paid a full retail sticker price on, and the only one I would not wait to purchase.)
After learning these things, I only love it more and think it may well never be displaced as the greatest movie of all time in my heart and mind.
Maybe it's just me, though. It's MY kind of movie... =)
I feel really identified with you.
At first I watched this film with very low expectations (due to its really misleading girly title for example) but it ended to be one of my all time favorites.
The characters, the dialogue, the humor, all is just perfect and unforgettable. Just learning those curious facts thanks to your comment makes me even appreciate it more than before. I'm glad that although it didn't do so well while it was on theaters, it got the reception it deserved when it was released as Home Video.
It is good to see that even after all those years there are young people (just like me) who is discovering the film and praising it like the masterpiece it is.
UpRoaryus I'm 31 years old and I watched the princess bride for the first time when I was a young boy, and (besides the ROUS, which really creeped me out) I fell in love with it... ...I have a personal Top 10 movie ranking and whatever may come this movie is and will always be on number 10 - if something new hits the floor which makes it into the top 10, 9 becomes 11, no matter what... ...I own about 350 original DVDs by now and I couldn't stand this one missing! :)
If you haven't gotten it already (and I'm sure you have), I highly recommend "As You Wish" by Cary Elwes for someone like you! I recommend the book-on-tape version. Cary's voice hasn't changed at all since playing the man in black and even does impressions of other characters. Much more entertaining than reading it!
Lynette McKinney ZOMG!! I did NOT know about this! THANK YOU! I'm so excited now, it's better than Christmas - Can't wait to get my hands on it... That looks AWESOME. =D
I went and acquired both a text of the book as well as an audiobook straight away after that last comment, and so far am on chapter 5 in the audio - I usually prefer to read, but this is so PERFECT, I just let it go about halfway through the first chapter... What a treat! Thanks for the heads up. I LOVE IT, it's gold.

The whole swordfight. "You are wonderful." "I ought to be after 20 years." "I would as soon destroy a stained glass window as an artist like yourself."
A friend of mine (now deceived) was in a fencing club in the 80's. He once described to me a a sword fight his club had choreographed for a public performance. It was the fight from the novel. I recognized it years later when the movie came out. Too cool. RIP my friend.
WHAT I LOVE is this video was uploaded 6 years ago, but people are still posting their favorite lines. This is one of the best movies ever! It should never be remade!
One of my all time favorite movies, the cast selection was perfect the sheer enjoyment of the banter between Wallace Shawn (Vizzini) & Cary Elwes (Westley) with the poison wine at the table and of course Andre the Giant was brilliant, and lets not forget the magnificence of Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya) the Spaniard, Bravo to all the members of the cast, Bravo
This being his favorite line is simply inconceivable!
"I'm on the brute squad"
-"you are the brute squad"
I was looking for this definitely the funniest exchange in the movie
*Inigo pounding on Max's door*
Max: "Beat it or I'll call the Brute Squad!"
Fezik: "I'm on the Brute Squad."
Max: "You ARE the Brute Squad."
“I think you’re bluffing.”
“It’s possible, pig.”
Love that line!
Emmy Gerard I honestly loved when he called him a “Warthog-faced buffoon” more!
Roger Bruinsma that’s a good one, too. So many great lines from one movie!
@@rachelsewell7026 "To the *PAIN!* " will always be my threat of violence. "It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery, forever." Thankfully I've rarely had to use it, as the warning before that is... "I have more free time than you... and you sleep at some point... probably on a regular schedule too. I do not. So, please, do not give me something to do with my free time." and generally people get the idea.
We've said that line so much now we just say, "It's possible..." and the other person says, "Did you just pig me?"
Love when actors are able to slip back into character so effortlessly regardless of time
Damn, he still does a great Inigo Montoya. My favorite line has to be Peter Falk's final "As you wish" at the end.
"I suppose you think you're very brave."
"Only compared to some."
God, I love that line. Buttercup was my first heroine and her gumption spoke volumes to me as a kid ♡
Sorry bra, she's a damsel in distress if anything.
@@sixteennumberthree5544 Exactly. The whole plot of the movie is pushed forward by her journey from from fear to faith.
@@GeoffBosco "Exactly. The whole plot of the movie is pushed forward by her journey from from fear to faith."
It is not, and that's not even a step forward. Fear to courage is a step forward. Faith to reason is a step forward. Fear to faith is some kind of sideways step, with no forward progress. You may also recall she contemplates suicide at the moment right before her rescue. She gets continually broken down over the course of the film.
And the best thing is that Princess Buttercup "grew-up" to be General Antiope (Wonder Woman).
I just love his Inigo Montoya accent
What a classic. My favorite movie of all time
He makes the Spanish accent better than I do (and I'm from Spain)
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." - Inigo Montoya
Reading through all of these comments, realize that basically every line in this movie is iconic.
The best line in the movie, "This is true love; think this happens every day?"
Yes! And the way he says it...💗💗
According to Tom Jones it does.
My favorite line is Fred Savage "Is this a kissing book?" lol
An ultimate favorite movie which will stay with me forever.
The old king, his eyes bright with glee: “She kissed me!”
Oh. . . .
That hits different as a grown-up :(
The Princess Bride was the first adult book I ever read (when I was in 6th grade). The movie is the best book adaptation I have ever seen, but it couldn't include everything.
My favorite line from the book is the Moral of the Story. The book says that Prince Humperdinck never stopped pursuing Westley and Buttercup, and they never really lived happily ever after. It's not fair, the books says, But "Life isn't fair; it's just fairer than death." A lesson every kid should learn.
Pretty sure it's not an adult book.
@@dreamer7770 pretty sure you didn't read it. Or comprehend it.
So they never really lived happily ever after? *JESUS* *GRANDPA* *WHY* *DO* *YOU* *READ* *ME* *THIS* *STUFF* ?!
🤯👍 Reminds me of “that’s life,” by Frank Sinatra. Thanks for the comment.
Speaking of books, the great misdirect is that the story is based on the classic from Morgenstern.
The screenwriter William Goldman actually discussed Morgenstern’s classic in detail in The Princess Bride 1973.
"Go away or I'll call the Brute Squad!"
"I'm on the Brute Squad."
"You are the Brute Squad."
"You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
...but yes, it's amazing how we hear spiritually uplifting tidbits when we are ready to hear them.
You just made me love PB even more, if that's even possible. Thank you
Westley: Can you move?
Buttercup: Move? You're alive! If you want I can fly!
So beautiful
Westley: sure thing! *yeets her out the window onto horse*
my personal favorite is "I want my father back, you son of a *bleep*."
hey did you know you can swear on the internet and no one cares?
@@familiarbreakfast1892 He chose not to, and I respect that
@@familiarbreakfast1892 not aymore
True story - I kinda teared up the first time I heard that line.
I have several favorite lines and this is definitely one of them.
My 2 favorite lines in the movie... Andre The Giant saying: "Hello lady" and "Anybody got a peanut?"
👍I love telling my wife Hello Lady! when she answers my phone calls!
The whole movie is quotable and is often quoted, at least in our home.
I do love this line, but my favourite will always be "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means " That line is useful in SO many situations!
Here’s my favorite line from the movie: the entire movie.
That's not a line
White Lmh -
I mean every line in the movie is my favorite line.
That's a fact, the entire movie.
Jim McCracken -
How? I was pretty clear on what I said. If you don’t understand it, then re-read my comment verrrrrrryyyyyy sloopooowwwwwlllllyyy
Anakin SkyWalker
My favorite line is:
“ I hate sand, its course, rough, irritating, and it gets everywhere.”
They are ALL my favorite lines!
“Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.” Even now as old as I am, I still believe this.
Mine is “maaaaaaaawidge is what bwinggs ussss togevah!!” He didn’t say it but I love it.
The late great Peter Cook.
Waaav. Twuuu waav.
My father married his and my moms bestfriends together in the costume from the movie snd started it with that line
Let me explain; no, there is too much; let me sum up.
"lemme 'splain" love that line i use it all the time
Forgot that one. So perfect.
Jesse Morrow He says it in Yentl too, when he's trying to convince "him" to marry his former fiancé.
This is my favorite line... the I most often find useful.
Im gonna start using this one
Awww!
He is a wholehearted, wonderfully aged and humble character!
That was beautifully told and delivered. The warmth and melancholy in his eyes in the end is deeply emotional.
Beautifully said. We need more love in the world, not more hatred.
Mine was always "theres something you should know--im not left handed either"
Or whatever it was. It's great. I need to see it again.
Grunting as he's pushed into the stone wall, "There's something I should tell you..."
"Tell me."
Shoves him off, "I'm not left-handed either." And then the big sword flourish after he switches hands.
@@bobdole4916
Yeah! That! I remember now!
....I really need to see this again...
i am left handed but never resented that this was used as a joke line...
@@scottmantooth8785 The joke wasn't that they were using the "wrong" hand, it was that they weren't using their dominant hand, and thus were taking it easy on the other guy.
If their lefts had been the dominant hand, both would have said they weren't really right handed.
it's still a funny line none the less
"Who says life is fair? Where is that written?" I say it all the time to my students.
My mom used to say "give me a second while I go get your birth certificate and you can show me where it says on it "Life will be fair to Anne Louise."
Look up the definition of Fair. And You may understand the saying that "All is fair in Love and War".
That's just a cop-out. It's not fair when someone makes it unfair. Life itself is neither fair on unfair.
That's up there with, " I didn't ask to be born!!" :'-(
Great film, great characters fantastic story and I also love that line, it is the state many of us feel when a loved child especially the last one leaves and flies the nest.
" What do I now do with the rest of my life".
Terrific to be reminded of The Princess Bride. Loved it and will watch again now! TY for the vid!...blessings...
