01x06 - Chapter Six: The Fire Swamp

Post by bunniefuu »

I'm gonna take a step,

and I'm gonna go, whoo!

And you're gonna flip me over there.

- CHILD: Okay. Mm-hmm.

- You ready? Here we go.

[GASPS] Oh!

[WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]



[BIRD CAWING]

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]



It's not that bad.

I'm not saying I'd like to

build a summer home here, but

the trees are actually quite lovely.

[WHOOSHING]

[GASPS] Oh!

[FLAMES CRACKLING]

[GASPING]

Singed a bit, were you?

You?

WESTLEY: You see, what I said before

about saying "please" was true.

Finally, Roberts decided something.

He said, "All right,

Westley, I never had a valet.

You can try it for the night.

I'll most likely k*ll

you in the morning."

It was a fine time for me.

I learned to fence, fight,

anything anybody would teach me.

Roberts got so rich,

he wanted to retire.

So he took me to his

cabin and told me a secret.

"I am not the Dread

Pirate Roberts," he said.

"My name is Ryan.

I inherited this ship from the

previous Dread Pirate Roberts

just as you will inherit it from me."

The real Roberts had

been retired 15 years

and living like a king in Patagonia.

Thank you. Then he explained,

it was the name that was important

for inspiring the necessary fear.

You see, no one would surrender

to the Dread Pirate Westley.

So we sailed ashore, took

on an entirely new crew,

and he stayed aboard

for a while as first mate

all the time calling me Roberts.

Once the crew believed, he left the ship

and I've been Roberts ever since.

Except now that we're

together, I shall retire

and hand the name over to someone else.

Is everything clear to you?

We'll never get out of here.

We might as well die here.

[SNARLING]

No, no, no. We've already succeeded.

Come on, what do we have to fear here?

The fire? Not a problem.

The quicksand? Well, we

got out of that, didn't we?

Very, very quick.

What about the ROUS's?

The huge rodents?

I don't think we're going

to have a problem with them.

Oh sh*t!

Oh, God, oh. Oh, no.

[GROANS]

[SIGHS]

Now, was that so terrible?

[HORSE WHINNIES]

[HOOF BEATS]

Surrender!

You mean you wish to surrender to me?

Very well, I accept.

I give you full marks for bravery.

Do not make yourself a fool.

Ah, but how will you capture us?

We know the secrets of the Fire Swamp.

We can live there safely

for quite some time.

So whenever you feel like dying,

feel free to visit.

I tell you once again, surrender.

It will not happen!

For the last time, surrender!

Death first.

Will you promise not to hurt him?

- What was that?

- What was that?

If we were to surrender,

and I return with you,

will you promise not to hurt this man?

May I live a thousand

years and never hunt again.

Promise me you'll

return him to his ship.

I swear it will be done.

Once we're out of sight,

take him back to Florin and

throw him into the Pit of Despair.

I swear it will be done.

[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING]

I thought you died once

and it almost destroyed me.

I could not bear it if you died again.

Not when I could save you.

Come, sir, we must get you to your ship.

We are men of action.

Lies do not become us.

Well spoken, sir.

[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

What is it?

You have six fingers on your right hand.

Someone was looking for you.
