Watched the Princess Bride with my niece and nephew – I’ve seen it before as you can tell.

Inigo:      Fezzik! Fezzik! Listen! Do you hear? That is the
            sound of ultimate suffering. My heart made that
            sound when Rugen slaughtered my father. The man in
            black makes it now.

Fezzik:     The man in black?

Inigo:      His true love is marrying another tonight, so who
            else has the cause for ultimate suffering?

The only thing wrong in fairy tales is the women. The men are courageous and smart and they have cool fights. The women just have to be pretty and faithful or at least pretty faithful.

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 for ever.
