:01:03
I think
I'll leave you two pals alone.
:01:06
- I brought you a special present.
- What is it?
:01:09
Open it up.
:01:16
A book?
:01:17
That's right. When I was your age,
television was called books.
:01:21
And this is a special book.
:01:24
It was the book my father
used to read to me when I was sick,
:01:27
and I used to read it
to your father.
:01:30
And today,
I'm gonna read it to you.
:01:33
Has it got any sports in it?
:01:34
Are you kidding?
Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Revenge.
:01:40
Giants. Monsters. Chases. Escapes.
:01:43
True love.
Miracles.
:01:46
It doesn't sound too bad.
I'll try and stay awake.
:01:50
Oh. Well, thank you very much.
Very nice of you.
:01:53
Your vote of confidence
is overwhelming. All right.

"The Princess Bride",
by S. Morgenstern.
:02:05
Chapter One.
:02:08
Buttercup was raised on a small farm
in the country of Florin.
:02:12
Her favorite pastimes were
riding her horse
:02:15
and tormenting the farm boy
that worked there.
:02:18
His name was Westley,
but she never called him that.
:02:22
Isn't that a wonderful beginning?
:02:25
Yeah. It's really good.
:02:28
Nothing gave Buttercup as much pleasure
as ordering Westley around.
:02:33
Farm boy.
Polish my horse's saddle.
:02:36
I want to see my face
shining in it by morning.
:02:39
As you wish.
:02:44
"As you wish"
was all he ever said to her.
:02:49
Farm Boy. Fill these with water...
:02:54
please.
:02:56
As you wish.
