Inconceivable what?


From useless movie quotes: The Princess Bride

Inigo Montoya I admit it, you are better than I am.
Westley: Then why are you smiling?
Inigo Montoya: Because I know something you don't know.
Westley: And, what is that?
Inigo Montoya: I am not left handed.
-----
Vizzini: Inconceivable.
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means, what you think it means.

A good movie.

"As you wish". I'd say "one of the best ever" rather than merely "good". Maybe even " the greatest thing in the world-except for a nice MLT".

My post was a quote from the Miracle Worker in the Princess Bride, for whom a BLT would not have been kosher.

That's right mate, eh?

Funny how Canadians, North Queenslanders and New Zealanders add 'eh' to the end of a sentence as an honorary period or question mark, eh?

Well, at least some people (with excellent taste...) got the reference! It's one of my favorites, with some of the best movie dialogs ever, especially the poison cup bit, but much better known than another of my very favorites, LadyHawke.

For the record, there's no cloak of invisiblity in The Princess Bride. There is a holocaust cloak.

The Princess Bride is a book and film that I can readily quote from memory...Pretty much the whole thing.
