Quotable Sunday - The Princess Bride Edition

Toni, from A Daily Dose of Toni has this great weekly ritual of posting Favorite Quotes - people come up with some great quotes, so if you haven't had a chance to check out Quotable Sunday now's your chance! ;)

I'm watching my favorite movie of all time - The Princess Bride. So today's quotes all come from that movie:

The Grandson: A book?
Grandpa: That's right. When I was your age, television was called books. And this is a special book. It was the book my father used to read to me when I was sick, and I used to read it to your father. And today I'm gonna read it to you.

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Westley: Why didn't you wait for me?
Buttercup: Well... you were dead.
Westley: Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.

Vizzini: No more rhyming now, I mean it.
Fezzik: Anybody want a peanut?

Fezzik: We face each other as God intended. Sportsmanlike. No tricks, no weapons, skill against skill alone.
Man in Black: You mean, you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword, and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?

Vizzini: You're trying to kidnap what I've rightfully stolen.

Miracle Max: Have fun stormin' da castle.
Valerie: Think it'll work?
Miracle Max: It would take a miracle.

Okay...So I could probably recite half the movie. That quote's a good one to stop on, especially since that's how my dad would say goodbye to me every morning as I would leave for school and he would leave for work.

Have a great Sunday.

I love this movie. One of my all time favorites. Wonder how many people you will inspire to watch it.

Miracle Max: He probably owes you money huh? I'll ask him.
Inigo Montoya: He's dead. He can't talk.
Miracle Max: Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.
Inigo Montoya: What's that?
Miracle Max: Go through his clothes and look for loose change.
