Quotes from Cary Elwes movies and TV shows - page 2 of 2

Westley: It won't be the last. To the pain means the first thing you will lose will be your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists. Next your nose.
Prince Humperdinck: And then my tongue I suppose, I killed you too quickly the last time. A mistake I don't mean to duplicate tonight.
Westley: I wasn't finished. The next thing you will lose will be your left eye followed by your right.
Prince Humperdinck: And then my ears, I understand, let's get on with it.
Westley: WRONG. Your ears you keep and I'll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, "Dear God! What is that thing," will echo in your perfect ears. That is what "to the pain means." It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.

Inigo Montoya: You know it's very strange. I've been in the revenge business for so long, now that it's over, I don't know what to do with the rest of my life.
Westley: Have you ever considered piracy? You'd make a wonderful Dread Pirate Roberts.
Inigo Montoya: [Shrugs].

Robin Hood: Bless you.
Asneeze: No, no, no, no, no. Achoo is my son. He's in England. Your country. He's an exchange student. I'd like you to look after him. He's in need of guidance. He is headstrong and cocksure. Or is it the other way around?

[Blinkin has snatched an arrow from mid-air as it's about to hit Robin.]

Robin Hood: Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent.

Robin Hood: Darling, what are you doing here?
Maid Marian: I've come to warn you. Prince John and the sheriff have hired murderers to kill you at the fair tomorrow. You mustn't go.

Maid Marian: Oh, I'm so happy. They were going to try to lure you there by having an archery contest.
Robin Hood: An archery contest?
Maid Marian: Their archer is unbeatable.
Robin Hood: Really?
Maid Marian: Robin, promise you won't go.
Robin Hood: Alright. I promise you won't go.
Maid Marian: Oh, thank you.
