Daily Dialogue — October 25, 2010

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

 — Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin), The Princess Bride (1987), screenplay by William Goldman, based on his novel

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is callbacks suggested by @tiffanyleigh.

Trivia: Mandy Patinkin revealed that acting out Inigo’s quest to avenge his father’s murder brought back memories of losing his own father to cancer in 1972. He said that when filming the scene when Inigo kills “The Six-Fingered Man” he felt like he had just “killed” the cancer that killed his father.
