It would be absolutely inconceivable for you not to have one. :-)

“You’ve been chasing me your entire life, only to fail now. I think that’s the worst thing I’ve ever heard; how marvelous.”
.
“I want my father back, you son of a bitch!”
.
“You mean, you’ll put down your rock and I’ll put down my sword and we’ll try and kill each other like civilized people?”
.
“Drop your sword.”

Sorry it is one of my fave films and I could not pick just one.
My favorite movie! “you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” “You ARE the brute squad.”
“I can’t afford to make exceptions. I mean once word leaks out that a pirate has gone soft, people begin to disobey you and it’s nothing but work, work, work all the time.”
“You fell victim to one of the classic blunders – The most famous of which is “never get involved in a land war in Asia” – but only slightly less well-known is this: “Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line”!”
The “never get involved in a land war in Asia” is definitely one of my favorites, as is “You ARE the brute squad!” I can’t quite decide between the two. :-)
“Tyrone, you know how much I love watching you work. But I’ve got my country’s 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder, and Guilder to frame for it. I’m swamped.”
Grandpa – “When I was your age, television was called ‘books’.”
Humperdink – “Surrender!”
Wesley – “You mean you wish to surrender to me? Very well, I accept.”
you’ve all already taken some of my favorites but how about this one:
As…yooooou…wiiiiish!!!!!
“Look, are you just fiddling aroung with me or what?”
“I just want you to feel you are doing well, I hate for people to die embarassed.”
‘I am Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”
And – “Have fun storming the castle.”
When my wife and I go our separate ways to work in the morning one of us will say: “Have fun storming the castle!”, the other answers: “Think it’ll work?”, and the first replies: “It’ll take a miracle”. Obviously we tweak the scene into an odd sort of give and take rather than the statement followed by asides that it is in the original, but it’s better than, “Have a nice day, honey.”
For my 18th birthday, a bunch of my friends chipped in and bought me a lovely sculpture of a castle on a cliff. The inscription on the card was, “Have fun storming the castle!”
I still have it.
The one where Westley tries to fight on rubber legs.
Also “Mawwidge.”
Totally agree with Jeruba on Mawwidge . . .!
@Jeruba – Is it Mawwidge? I always, saw it as Mehwidge.
@Corporate_Avenger, here’s how IMDb gives it to us. I suppose we have to allow for regional variations.
=====
The Impressive Clergyman: Mawage. Mawage is wot bwings us togeder tooday. Mawage, that bwessed awangment, that dweam wifin a dweam…
[cut to Westley, Inigo, and Fezzik]
The Impressive Clergyman: And wuv, tru wuv, will fowow you foweva…
[cut to the trio again]
The Impressive Clergyman: So tweasure your wuv.
Prince Humperdinck: Skip to the end.
The Impressive Clergyman: Have you the wing?
[cut to the trio once more]
The Impressive Clergyman: ...and do you,Pwincess Buwwercup…
Prince Humperdinck: Man and wife. Say man and wife.
The Impressive Clergyman: Man an’ wife. The Impressive Clergyman: Mawage. Mawage is wot bwings us togeder tooday. Mawage, that bwessed awangment, that dweam wifin a dweam…

@Jeruba – That scene makes me raotflwpimp. (Roll around on the floor laughing while pissing in my pants). “Have you the wing?” F’ing priceless.
Have fun storming the castle!!
* Raspy sinister voice * – “No one escapes th…”
(cough cough clears throat) – * Normal voice * – “Excuse me, ehm, No one escapes the Pit of Despair”
@Ansible1 That one always makes me laugh, too!
(kiss)“What was that for?” ” ...I am going to kill my self when we get to the bridal chamber” “Won’t that be nice?(hee hee) She kissed me!”
The Clergyman is my all time favorite, everything he said was hysterical.
This was next in line…Fezzik: I just want you to feel you’re doing well. I hate for people to die embarrassed.
No more rhymes and I mean it.
I would have if I had seen it.
I tried, but I couldn’t clean it.
