William Goldman Quote
It appears to me as if we’re doomed, then, Buttercup said. Westley looked at her. Doomed, madam? To be together. Until one of us dies. I’ve done that already, and I haven’t the slightest intention of ever doing it again, Westley said. Buttercup looked at him. Don’t we sort of have to sometime? Not if we promise to outlive each other, and I make that promise now. Buttercup looked at him. Oh my Westley, so do I.
