Daily Dialogue — August 23, 2015

“Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”

— The Princess Bride (1987), screenplay by William Goldman, book by William Goldman

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Callback.

Trivia: In a 2012 interview in New York Magazine, Mandy Patinkin said that his most famous line from The Princess Bride (1987) (“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”) gets quoted back to him by at least two or three strangers every day of his life. Patinkin told the interviewer that he loves hearing the line and he also loves the general fact that he got to be in the movie.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Perhaps one of the most memorable callbacks in movie history, uttered a total of six times, four times in the final struggle alone.
