Princess Bride spoilers ahead...

To the pain - Princess Bride

Hello, my name is Indigo Montoya speech - Interesting antecdote about this scene - Mandy Patinkin lost his father a few years before the filming. In a 25 year later inverview, this came up: "Despite the laughter, the story of Inigo and his father struck a nerve with Patinkin, whose own father had died a few years before filming. 'I would walk through the maze of the gardens while I was just trying to relax or while they were lighting the scene, and I was talking to my father, who had died not that many years before we made the film, and I always had it in my mind that if I could get the six fingered man, if Inigo could get the six fingered man, then my father, Mandy's father, would come back and be with me.'"
