Inigo Montoya

Uh, Masimo Diaz is an angry floppy mop top.

And Alem Coustic looks exactly like Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride.

[laughs]

[laughs]

Now, what isn't following you into adulthood is a reputable salon that could do something with any of your hair.

[laughs]

And that mustache, Inigo Montoya.

Looks like you drew it on with mascara.

It belonged just to my brother.

And that may seem like a tiny little story, but I can't tell you how often it has come up in my grown-up life, like a mantra, almost like, "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya.

You killed my father.

Prepare to die." I mean, I can't count the times I've muttered under my breath when faced with something that seems hard, "My little brother mowed enough lawns to buy a Nintendo Entertainment System.

I was like, "What is this?" [laughs] I'm bored.

You gotta be like Inigo Montoya with, not left-handed, and really show them up at their own show.

Oh, goodness.

I, you know, I should've.

It is nearly impossible to find someone who hasn't heard the famous line, even if they only know it from the film.

Inigo Montoya, the brilliant swordsman who has spent his entire life training for one solitary moment.

And he has that one sentence prepared for the six-fingered man, Count Rugen.

Let's hear it.

Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya.

You killed my father.

Prepare to die.

Right.

You see kids walking around with elaborate costumes.

You know, my daughter, she once wore a costume of Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride.

And one time she put on a costume like a noodle dish, just like an elaborate thing that she looked like a noodle dish.

It was fantastic.

And, you know, she, she feels like she has, you know, righteousness on her side.

It's the whole, you know, "My name is In- Inigo Montoya.

You killed my father.

I am looking for the, for the seven fingered man." It's just I like that because she plays it so earnestly that even though it's goofy, I have fun with it.

Given one line to sum up the most consequential elf who ever lived, Tolkien writes, the greatest of the Eldar in arts and lore, but also the proudest and most self-willed.

I feel a bit of Inigo Montoya in Tolkien here.

Let me explain.

No, there is no time.

They win, Arwen marries Aragorn and dies as a mortal.

They lose, everything is lost anyway.

Tolkien puts the private grief of the Rivendell storyline into a single subordinate clause and then moves on because this is, as Inigo Montoya said, more of a sum up than an explanation.

Then look at what Elros gets.
