Daily Dialogue — July 22, 2010

The King: [after a tender kiss from Buttercup] What was that for? 
 Buttercup: Because you’ve always been so kind to me, and I’ll never see you again, because I’m killing myself as soon as we reach the Bridal Suite. 
 The King: Won’t that be nice? 
[Pointing] 
 The King: She kissed me! Ha!

 — Buttercup (Robin Wright), The King (Willoughby Gray), The Princess Bride (1987), screenplay by William Goldman, based on his book

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is kings, queens, princes, and princesses.

Trivia: Mark Knopfler agreed to write the music for this movie on the condition that Rob Reiner put the hat that he wore in This Is Spinal Tap (1984) in the movie. The hat appears in The Grandson’s bedroom.
