OK Jon...we are going to make everyone crazy with Princess Bride quotes....

"My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

(Folks...indulge Jon and me...you have to watch the movie to know why that line is funny)

When I watched Mandy Patinkin on Homeland, that line just kept going through the back of my mind. I will forever see him as Montoya! It is also the first time I saw Robin Wright in anything.

I am so glad you reminded me of Princess bride...I have to find it somewhere and watch it yet again.

I can't resist jumping in the Princess Bride theme...

"Dear God, what IS that thing!"

Did anyone else feel the ending where she jumps out the window and her gown is billowing evoked the final scene of Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast?

I never picked up on that, however since this started (peripheral neuropathy being this) I smirk thinking of how often I blave when not wanting to talk about it. It especially comes up with weight loss. Oh how I wish it indicated I was feeling well, alas Fat Jon was like Fat Elvis, pretty happy by some accounts.

I also feel a lot like Wesley in the Humperdink stand off near the end, posturing at fine, ready to take a seat though.

It would take a miracle, indeed.
