Anyone else love this flick? It took on cult status on my fencing team because of this scene:
Quote possibly the best fencing scene in all of film.Inigo: You are ready?
Westley (as the Dread Pirate Roberts): Ready or not, you've been more than fair. (Draws sword with his left hand.)
Inigo (as he also draws sword with his left hand): You seem a decent fellow. I hate to kill you.
Westley: You seem a decent fellow. I'd hate to die.
Inigo: Begin.
(fencing back and forth)
Inigo: You are using Benetti's Defense against me, eh?
Westley: I thought it appropriate, considering the rocky terrain.
Inigo: You are expecting me to attack with Capo Ferro!
Westley: Naturally, although I find Thibault cancels out Capo Ferro, don't you?
Inigo: Unless the enemy has studied his Agrippa...(flip somersault)...which I have!
(more fencing back and forth)
Inigo (as he is forced backwards towards a cliff-face): You are wonderful!
Westley: Thank you; I've worked hard to become so.
Inigo: I must admit, you are better than I.
Westley: Then why are you smiling?
Inigo: Because I know something that you do not know.
Westley: And what's that?
Inigo: I am not left-handed! (switches hands and beats Westley back)
Westley: You are amazing!
Inigo: I ought to be after twenty years!
Westley: There's something I must tell you...
Inigo: Tell me!
Westley: I'm not left-handed either!
