601 The only way in is secret. 602 And only the prince, the count and I know how to get in and out. 603 - Then I'm here till I die? - Till they kill you, yeah. 604 Then why bother curing me? 605 The prince and the count always insist on everyone being healthy before they're broken. 606 So it's to be torture. 607 I can cope with torture. 608 You don't believe me? 609 You survived the fire swamp. You must be very brave... 610 but nobody withstands... the machine. 611 She's been like that ever since the fire swamp. 612 It's my father's failing health that's upsetting her. 613 Of course. 614 The king died that very night, 615 and before the following dawn, Buttercup and Humperdinck were married. 616 And at noon, she met her subjects again. 617 This time as their queen. 618 My father's final words were... 619 Hold it. Hold it, Grandpa. You read that wrong. 620 She doesn't marry Humperdinck, she marries Westley. 621 I'm just sure of it. After all that Westley did for her, 622 if she does not marry him, it wouldn't be fair. 623 Well, who says life is fair? Where is that written? 624 Life isn't always fair. 625 I'm telling you you're messing up the story, now get it right! 626 Do you want me to go on with this? 627 - Yes. - All right, then. No more interruptions. 628 At noon, she met her subjects again. 629 This time as their queen. 630 My father's final words were: 631 "Love her as I loved her, and there will be joy." 632 I present to you your queen: Queen Buttercup. 633 Why do you do this? 634 Because you had love in your hands, and you gave it up. 635 But they would have killed Westley if I hadn't done it. 636 Your true love lives and you marry another. 637 True love saved her in the fire swamp, and she treated it like garbage. 638 And that's what she is, the queen of refuse! 639 So, bow down to her if you want. 640 Bow to her. Bow to the queen of slime, 641 the queen of filth, the queen of putrescence. 642 Boo! Boo! Rubbish! Filth! Slime! Muck! Boo! Boo! 643 It was ten days till the wedding. 644 The king still lived, but Buttercup's nightmares were growing steadily worse. 645 See? Didn't I tell you she'd never marry that rotten Humperdinck? 646 Yes, you're very smart. Shut-Up. 647 It comes to this: I love Westley. 648 I always have. I know now I always will. 649 If you tell me I must marry you in ten days, 650 please believe I will be dead by morning. |
