And Roberts and I eventually became friends.
And then it happened.

:43:06
What?
Go on.

:43:09
Roberts had grown so rich,
he wanted to retire.

:43:12
So he took me to his cabin
and told me his secret.

:43:16
"I am not the dread pirate Roberts", he said,
"My name is Ryan."

:43:21
"I inherited this ship from
the previous dread pirate Roberts",

:43:24
"just as you will inherit it from me."
:43:26
"The man I inherited it from was not
the real dread pirate Roberts, either."

:43:29
"His name was Cummerbund.
The real Roberts has been
retired fifteen years"

:43:33
"and living like a king in Patagonia."
:43:36
Then he explained the name was the important
thing for inspiring the necessary fear.

:43:41
You see, no one would surrender
to the dread pirate Westley.

:43:45
So we sailed ashore,
took on an entirely new crew

:43:48
and he stayed aboard for awhile as first mate,
all the time calling me Roberts.

:43:52
Once the crew believed, he left the ship
and I have been Roberts ever since.

:43:57
Except, now that we're together, I shall retire
and hand the name over to someone else.

:44:01
Is everything clear to you?
