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!

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?

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.

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?

Boo! Boo! Boo! Why do you do this? Because you had love in your hands, and you gave it up! But they would've killed Westley if I hadn't done it. Your true love lives, and you marry another! True love saved her in the Fire Swamp, and she treated it like garbage. And that's what she is, the Queen of Refuse! So bow down to her, if you want. Bow to her. Bow to the Queen of Slime, the Queen of Filth, the Queen of Putrescence! Boo! Boo! Rubbish! Filth! Slime! Muck! Boo! Boo! Boo!

- Yes. - All right, then. No more interruptions. "At noon, she met her subjects again, this time as their queen." My father's final words were: "Love her as I loved her, and there will be joy." I present to you your queen, Queen Buttercup.

"It was ten days till the wedding. The king still lived, but Buttercup's nightmares were growing steadily worse." See? Didn't I tell you she'd never marry that rotten Humperdinck? Yes, you're very smart. Shut up.

I know now I always will. If you tell me I must marry you in ten days, please believe I will be dead by morning.

Consider our wedding off. You, um, returned this Westley to his ship? - Yes. - Then we will simply alert him.
