    Memorable Quotes by Westley:

    “As you wish.”

    ““That’s all you needed? Easy. I love you. Okay? Want it louder? I LOVE YOU! Spell it out, should I? I ell-oh-vee-ee why-oh-you. Want it backward? You love I... I've been saying it so long to you, you just wouldn't listen. Every time you said 'Farm Boy do this' you thought I was answering 'As you wish' but that's only because you were hearing wrong. 'I love you' was what it was, but you never heard, and you never heard."”

    “"You mean you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword and we'll try to kill each other like civilized people, is that it?"”

    “"My brains, your strength and his steel against a hundred troops? And you think a little head-jiggle is supposed to make me happy?"”

    “"Wrong!" Wesley's voice rang across the room. "Your ears you keep, so that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish - every babe that weeps in fear of your approach, every woman that cries 'Dear God, what is that thing?' will reverberate forever in your perfect ears. That is what 'to the pain' means. It means that I leave you to live in anguish, in humiliation, in freakish misery until you can stand it no more; so there you have it, pig, there you know, you miserable vomitous mass, and I say this now, and live or die, it's up to you: Drop your sword!"”
