The Princess Bride - Week 8
Back to Week 7 -- Go to Week 9
Minute 50
Scared for her love’s life
Buttercup pleads for safety
Prince acquiesces
Westley shall return
To the pirate ship, Revenge
Humperdinck promised
Insidious prince
Subterfuge with Count Rugen
The Pits of Despair
Magnanimous speech
Buttercup has saved his life
Yet rides off with prince
Minute 51
Under crossbow threat
Hero bound and notices
Six-fingered right hand
Rugen’s anger flares
Concussion-inducing blow
Westley unconscious
Albino descends
Stone stairs echo the despair
Ambient candles
Minute 52
Cloth softly dabs wounds
Westley regains consciousness
Queries location
Voice-altering phlegm
Once cleared, hopelessness declared
Westley shall die there
Questioning process
Informed curing to prepare
For coming torture
Minute 53
Although he survived
The dreaded Fire Swamp, no one
Survives the maching
Despondent princess
Forlornly walks castle halls
Skulking prince watches
Narrator breaks in
King has died, couple married
Grandson is upset
Minute 54
The story is wrong
Buttercup can’t marry prince
It should be Westley
Boy loses temper
And almost rest of story
Must trust his grandpa
The Queen Buttercup
Introduced to commoners
And aging heckler
Minute 55
The rabble-rouser
Spews insults at Buttercup
Queen of putrescence
Princess awakens
From terrifying nightmare
Still yet to wed prince
Minute 56
Buttercup enters
Prince’s royal office space
Claims love for Westley
She would rather die
Than marry Prince Humperdinck
Who begins to scheme
Prince plants seeds of doubt
She left Westley; pirates lie
Creates compromise
Buttercup shall write
Four copies of a letter
Carried by fast ships
