AKA more things I wish I could say more often:
Vizzini: You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha - (Oh, I have another one. A classic Babble blunder. Hmmm, how to phrase it...how to phrase it? Och, I don't think I can. Just suffice it to say that I feel like I fell victim to another classic blunder. ;)
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. (Anyone else ever just dying to say this to someone in all earnestness?)
Prince Humperdinck: [sincerely] Tyrone, you know how much I love watching you work, but I've got my country's 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder and Guilder to frame for it; I'm swamped. (and I thought I was busy!)
Westley: Get used to disappointment.
Man in Black: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
Westley: Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something. (Hmm, I've actually said this to a client before. Although they didn't accuse me of mocking their pain first.)
Buttercup: Westley, what about the R.O.U.S.'s?
Westley: Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist.
[Immediately, an R.O.U.S. attacks him]Buttercup: You can't hurt me. Westley and I are joined by the bonds of love. And you cannot track that, not with a thousand bloodhounds, and you cannot break it, not with a thousand swords. (This one is actually quite beautiful.)
Valerie: I'm not a witch, I'm your wife. And after what you just said, I'm not even sure I want to be that any more.
Miracle Max: Have fun stormin' da castle.
Valerie: Think it'll work?
Miracle Max: It would take a miracle.
(Carol Kane and Billy Crystal...what a pair!)Inigo Montoya: Let me 'splain.
[pause]
Inigo Montoya: No, there is too much. Let me sum up. (For those who wonder why I say that.)Inigo Montoya: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. (The classic!)
Miracle Max: Sonny, true love is the greatest thing, in the world-except for a nice MLT - mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe
[smacks his lips] (anyone ever had one?)Prince Humperdinck: I don't think I'm quite familiar with that phrase.
Westley: I'll explain and I'll use small words so that you'll be sure to understand, you warthog faced buffoon. (Ya think Westley's not too fond of the prince?)Westley: DROP... YOUR... SWORD! (Everyone cheer!)
The Impressive Clergyman: Mawage. Mawage is wot bwings us togeder tooday. Mawage, that bwessed awangment, that dweam wifin a dweam... (the beginning of an actual toast at my wedding...can you tell I'm a huge fan? Tired yet?)
Dread Pirate Roberts: Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning. (is it awful that we say this to the dog at night?)
Grandpa: Yes you're very smart. Shut up. (okay.)

If you really say that to the dog at night, you probably should start putting aside some extra $ for doggie therapy. ;)
Hmmmm...I wonder if an assortment of these phrases could be used on the acknowledgements page of a dissertation. I'm thinking of anything that ends with "Prepare to die!" would be good.
You are fun people GG--Even when you are pms-ing. ;) I hope that our paths cross IRL someday. I think that we are birds of a feather!
Best,
EE

My ex used to call me every morning, and wake me up. He'd often start out with, "My name is Inigo Montoya..."
I'd never seen the movie. I had no idea what he was talking about.
And he called me Princess Buttercup, too. I just thought it went along with him calling me Princess anyway...

I'm glad others like these and the movie, too. Another of my favorites...when the King says "she kissed me" right after Buttercup thanks him for always being kind to her. My hubby and I say that when the dog gives us her version of kisses, a lick on the nose. :)

Ah, I just bought this on DVD! ; )
Geeze you have a good memory! I remember you and your T quoting from it in therapy, and I thought there's no way I'd remember lines like that, much less recognize them if someone else quoted them!
What are your other fav. movies? Did you see 50 First Dates? I loved that. And one that just came out - Failure to Launch was really funny.

One of my favorite movies of all time. I'm glad you brought it up. I've used the "truly, you have a dizzying intellect" on occasion.
Love that movie.Another line that I've used when especially depressed comes from a movie with lots of good lies too. The movie is "Real Genius" with Val Kilmer. One of his lines when asked what he was doing was "I was contemplating the words of Socrates who said "I drank what?""
Check this movie out for lines too.
