There is a line from The Princess Bride to suit every occasion. I mentioned this in last week's post, and I maintain the complete and utter truth of this statement. I quote this movie more than any other... and—this is the best part—my kids get the references. I wonder if they'd enjoy the book?
Grandpa : Nothing gave Buttercup as much pleasure as ordering Westley around.
Buttercup : Farm boy, polish my horse's saddle. I want to see my face shining in it by morning.
Westley : As you wish.
Grandpa : "As you wish" was all he ever said to her.
Buttercup : Farm boy, fill these with water - please.
Westley : As you wish.
Grandpa : That day, she was amazed to discover that when he was saying "As you wish," what he meant was, "I love you." And even more amazing was the day she realized she truly loved him back.
