Go on. Well, Roberts had grown so rich he wanted to retire, so he took me to his cabin and told me his secret. "I am not the Dread Pirate Roberts," he said. "My name is Ryan. I inherited the ship from the previous Dread Pirate Roberts, just as you will inherit it from me. The man I inherited it from was not the real Dread Pirate Roberts either. His name was Cumberbund. The real Roberts has been retired 15 years and living like a king in Patagonia." Thank you. Then he explained the name was the important thing for inspiring the necessary fear. You see, no one would surrender to the Dread Pirate Westley.

We'll never succeed. We may as well die here. No. No. We have already succeeded. I mean, what are the three terrors of the Fire Swamp? One, the flame spurt. No problem. There's a popping sound preceding each. We can avoid that. Two, the lightning sand. But you were clever enough to discover what that looks like. So in the future we can avoid that too. Westley, what about the ROUS's? Rodents of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist. Westley!

This will all soon be but a happy memory because Roberts' ship, Revenge, is anchored at the far end. And I, as you know, am Roberts. But how is that possible since he's been marauding 20 years and you only left me five years ago? I, myself, am often surprised at life's little quirks.

Oh, no. No, please. What is it? What's the matter? They're kissing again. Do we have to hear the kissing part? Someday you may not mind so much. Skip on to the Fire Swamp. - That sounded good. - Oh.

So we sailed ashore, took on an entirely new crew, and he stayed aboard for a while as first mate, all the time calling me Roberts. Once the crew believed, he left the ship and I have been Roberts ever since.

Except now that we're together, I shall retire and hand the name over to someone else. Is everything clear to you?

I told you I would always come for you. Why didn't you wait for me? Well, you were dead. Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while. I will never doubt again. There will never be a need.
It's not that bad. I'm not saying I'd like to build a summer home here, but the trees are actually quite lovely.

Well, one thing I will say. Fire Swamp certainly does keep you on your toes.

We'll never survive. Nonsense. You're only saying that because no one ever has.

"The king died that very night. And before the following dawn, Buttercup and Humperdinck were married. And at noon, she met her subjects again, this time as their queen." My father's final words were... Hold it. Hold it. Grandpa. You read that wrong. She doesn't marry Humperdinck. She marries Westley. I'm just sure of it. After all that Westley did for her, if she didn't marry him, it wouldn't be fair. Well, who says life is fair? Where is that written? Life isn't always fair. I'm telling you, you're messing up the story! Now, get it right! Do you want me to go on with this?
