Princess Bride Quotes

[ckd]

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. (via sweetmmeblue)

Man in Black: "Why are you smiling?"
Inigo: "I know something you don't know."
Man in Black: "And what is that?"
Inigo: "I am not left-handed."

I think TPB is possibly the most quotable movie ever, in that almost every single speaking part has at least one memorable quote. (I'm not sure the mother has any really quotable lines, but she's the only exception I can think of.)

They're certainly up there for the quotability of their quotable lines, but for sheer percentage of lines which are quotable? I think TPB wins.

In other words, if you take the average quotability of lines in those three movies which are quotable AT ALL (ie, eliminate quotability < epsilon), then Casablanca probably wins. But if you take the average quotability over ALL lines in the movie, I think TPB wins.

If you just sum up all of the quotability values, then I don't know, because then length of movie becomes relevant.

Yes, I'm over-analyzing. that's what this user-icon means.
