451
I know who you are, 452
your cruelty reveals everything. 453
You're the dread pirate Roberts.
Admit it! 454
With pride.
What can I do for you? 455
You can die slowly
cut into a thousand pieces. 456
Hardly complimentary, your Highness.
Why loose your venom on me? 457
You killed my love. 458
It's possible.
I kill a lot of people. 459
Who was this love of yours? 460
Another prince, like this one,
ugly, rich, and scabby? 461
No. A farm boy.
Poor. Poor and perfect. 462
With eyes like the sea after a storm. 463
On the high seas,
your ship attacked, 464
and the dread pirate Roberts
never takes prisoners. 465
I can't afford
to make exceptions. 466
I mean once word leaks out
that a pirate has gone soft, 467
people begin to disobey you, and then
it's nothing but work, work, work, all the time. 468
You mock my pain! 469
Life is pain, Highness. 470
Anyone who says differently
is selling something. 471
I remember this farm boy of yours,
I think. 472
This would be, what,
five years ago? 473
Does it bother you to hear? 474
Nothing you can say will upset me. 475
He died well,
that should please you. 476
No bribe attempts or blubbering. 477
He simply said:
"Please." 478
"Please, I need to live." 479
It was the "please"
that caught my memory. 480
I asked him what was
so important for him. 481
True love, he replied. 482
And then he spoke of a girl
of surpassing beauty and faithfulness. 483
I can only assume he meant you. 484
You should bless me for destroying him
before he found out what you really are. 485
And what am I? 486
Faithfulness he talked of, madam.
Your enduring faithfulness. 487
Now, tell me truly. When you found out he was gone,
did you get engaged to your prince that same hour, 488
or did you wait a whole week
out of respect for the dead? 489
You mocked me once,
never do it again! 490
I died that day! 491
You can die too,
for all I care! 492
As... you... wish... 493
Oh, my sweet Westley! 494
What have I done? 495
He disappeared.
He must have seen us closing in, 496
which might account
for his panicking in the error. 497
Unless I'm wrong,
and I am never wrong, 498
they are headed dead
into the fire swamp. 499
Can you move at all? 500
Move?!
You're alive. |
