Inigo: Let me explain… No, there is too much. Let me sum up: Buttercup is marrying Humperdinck in little less than half an hour. So all we have to do is get in, break up the wedding, steal the princess, make our escape… after I kill Count Rugen.
Westley: That doesn’t leave much for dilly-dally.
Fezzik: You just wiggled your finger! That’s wonderful!
Westley: I’ve always been a quick healer. What are our liabilities?
Inigo: There is but one working castle gate, and it is guarded by sixty men.
Westley: And our assets?
Inigo: Your brains, Fezzik’s strength, my steel.
Westley: That’s it? Impossible. If I had a month to plan maybe I could come up with something. But this…
Fezzik: You just shook your head! That doesn’t make you happy?
Westley: My brains, his steel, and your strength against sixty men and you think a little head jiggle is supposed to make me happy? Hmm?? I mean if we only had a wheelbarrow, that would be something.

“Christ you know it ain’t easy! You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going, you’re gonna crucify me.”
