"Enough
about my
beauty,"
Buttercup
said.
"Everybody
always
talks about
how
beautiful I
am. I've
got a mind,
Westley.
Talk about
that."

"I say you

are a
coward and
you are; I
think you
hunt only
to reassure
yourself
that you
are not
what you
are: the
weakest
thing to
ever walk
the Earth."

"Westley and
I are joined
by the bond
of love and
you cannot
track that,
not with a
thousand
bloodhounds,
and you
cannot break
it, not with a
thousand
swords."
