They disappeared. He must've seen us closing in, which might account for his panicking into error.

He simply said, "Please.

Please, I need to live." It was the "please" that caught my memory. I asked him what was so important for him.

Clearly this was all planned by warriors of Guilder. We must all be ready for whatever lies ahead.

Why is that, do you think? Well, I haven't fought just one person... for so long. Been specializing in groups, battling gangs for local charities. That kind of thing. Why should that make such a... difference? Well, you see, you use different moves when you're fighting... half a dozen... people... than when you only... have to be worried... about one.

See, what I told you before about saying "please" was true.

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.

Finally Roberts decided something. He said, "All right, Westley. I've never had a valet. You can try it for tonight. I'll most likely kill you in the morning."

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!

It intrigued Roberts, as did my descriptions of your beauty.
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.

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.

But first things first. - To the death. - No! To the pain. I don't think I'm quite familiar with that phrase. I'll explain. And I'll use small words, so that you'll be sure to understand, you warthog-faced buffoon. That may be the first time in my life a man has dared insult me. It won't be the last. "To the pain" means the first thing you lose will be your feet, below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists. Next, your nose. And then my tongue, I suppose. I killed you too quickly the last time, a mistake I don't mean to duplicate tonight. I wasn't finished! The next thing you lose will be your left eye, followed by your right. And then my ears. I understand. Let's get on with it. 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. I think you're bluffing. It's possible, pig. I might be bluffing. It's conceivable, you miserable, vomitous mass, that I'm only lying here because I lack the strength to stand. Then again... perhaps I have the strength after all. Drop... your... sword.

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.

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.

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