Radical Dreamer wrote:[SPOILER]The whole point of his actions is to start a war with Guilder. He wants Vizzini and the others to kidnap her, but make it seem like Guilder's men kidnapped/killed her. Basically, he wants to start a war with Guilder but has no real reason for it, so he's trying to make up a fake one. Remember the line from the movie, if you've seen it:
"You know how I love to watch you work, but I've got my country's 100th anniversary to plan, my wedding to plan, my wife to murder, and Guilder to blame for it. I'm swamped!"
"Get some rest. If you haven't got your health, you haven't got anything."[/SPOILER]
Hopefully that helped, if it didn't confuse you. XD

Although for most deviations I prefer the Princess Bride book to the film, I'd actually rather have the eels from the movie than the sharks from the book.

Depending on your style of humor and how tired you are at the moment, the priest can be very, very funny in different languages. Ah, the joys of DVDs. As far as other quotes go, I'm surprised no one has mentioned the battle of wits scene yet.
