You beat me to it, though it's not a direct quote. Vessini is enumerating
the "classic mistakes" at the time, so there's some extra text involved,
but that's certainly the gist.
My favorite exchange belongs to Max and Fezzik:
Max: "Go away or I'll call the Brute Squad!"
Fezzik: "I'm *on* the Brute Squad."
Max: <seeing Fezzik for the first time, played by Andre the Giant>"You
*are* the Brute Squad!"
A Classic, definitely. Next time you're having problems finding a SME to
answer your questions, remember Inigo; things could be worse, you know.
Have fun,
