Post by bunniefuu »

- Are you ready?

- CHILD: Action.

[GRUNTING]

[WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]



[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

VIZZINI: We're safe.

Only Fezzik is strong

enough to go up our way.

He'll have to sail around for

hours till he finds a harbor!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]



He's climbing the rope.

And he's gaining on us.

Inconceivable!



Faster!

I thought I was going faster.

You were supposed to be this Colossus.

This great legendary

thing and yet, he gains!

Well, I'm carrying two people,

and he's got only himself.

VIZZINI: Now, I don't accept excuses.

I'm just gonna have to find

a new giant, that's all.

[HUFFS]

Don't say that, Vizzini, please.

VIZZINI: Did I make it clear

that your job is at stake?



[GROANS]

He has very good arms.

He didn't fall? Inconceivable!

You keep using that word.

I do not think it means

what you think it means.

My God, he's climbing!

Whoever he is, he's obviously

seen us with the princess

and must, therefore, die!

You carry her!

We'll head straight for

the Guilder frontier.

Catch up when he's

dead. If he falls, fine.

If not the sword.

- I want to do him left-handed.

- You know what a hurry we're in.

Well, it's the only

way I can be satisfied.

If I use my right?

Pfft! Over too quickly.

Fine! Have it your way.

You be careful.

People in masks cannot be trusted.

I'm waiting!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]



[GRUNTS]

Hello, there!

Slow going?

Look, I don't mean to be rude,

but this is not as

easy as it looks, so

I'd appreciate it if

you wouldn't distract me.

- Sorry.

- Thank you.

[GRUNTING]

I do not suppose you

could speed things up?

If you're in such a hurry,

you could lower a rope or a tree branch

or find something useful to do?

I could do that. In fact, I, uh

I've got some rope here.

But I don't think you

would accept my help,

since I am just waiting

around to k*ll you.

That does put a damper

on our relationship.

I promise you will reach the top alive.

That's very comforting.

But I'm afraid you'll just have to wait.

I hate waiting.

I could give you my word as a Spaniard.

[GRUNTING] No good! I've

known too many Spaniards.

So you cannot find

another way to trust me?

Nothing comes to mind.

I swear on the soul of my

father, Domingo Montoya

you will reach the top alive.

Throw me the rope.

[GRUNTS]



[GRUNTS, GROANS]

[PANTING] Okay. Thank you.

We'll wait until you're ready.

Once again, thank you.

[GROANS]

I don't mean to pry, but

I guess you wouldn't have six fingers

on that right hand of yours, do you?

Do you always begin

conversations this way?

My father was slaughtered

by a six-fingered man.

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

He was a sword maker, my father.

A great one.

And one day, a six-fingered man arrived,

and asked for a very special sword.

My father took the job.

He slaved for one year

until he was done.



[LIGHTSABER IGNITES]

[WARBLING AND HUMMING]

- I've never seen its equal.

- [LIGHTSABER POWERS DOWN]

The six-fingered man returned

and demanded it.

But he offered one-tenth

of his promised price.

My father refused and

without a word

the six-fingered man slashed

him through the heart.

Obviously, I challenged

his m*rder*r with a duel.

But I failed.

[SCOFFS]

The six-fingered man left me alive

with the special sword.

And this and this.

How old were you?

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY] I was 11 years old.

But when I got strong enough,

I dedicated my life to

the study of fencing.

So the next time we meet,

I will not fail.

I will go up to the

six-fingered man and say

"Hello.

My name is Inigo Montoya.

You k*lled my father.

Prepare to die."

You've done nothing but study swordplay?

Well, more pursuit than study.

[CHUCKLES]

It's been 20 years now.

I'm starting to lose my confidence.

[SIGHS]

There is not a lot of

money in revenge, you know?

[CHUCKLES] That's why I work

with Vizzini to pay the bills.

Well, I certainly hope

you find him some day.

[EXHALES FORCEFULLY] Are you ready?

Whether I am or not,

you've been more than fair.

You seem a decent fellow.

I hate to k*ll you.

You seem a decent fellow.

I hate to die.

Begin.
