The Princess Bride Page #2
BUTTERCUP:
Farm boy. Polish my horse's
saddle. I want to see my face
shining in it by morning.
WESTLEY:
(quietly, watching her)
As you wish.
Westley is perhaps half a dozen years older than Buttercup.
And maybe as handsome as she is beautiful. He gazes at her
as she walks away.
GRANDFATHER:
(off-screen)
"As you wish" was all he ever
said to her.
DISSOLVE TO:
WESTLEY, outside, chopping wood. Buttercup drops two large
buckets near him.
BUTTERCUP:
Farm Boy. Fill these with water --
(a beat)
--please.
WESTLEY:
As you wish.
She leaves; his eyes stay on her. She stops, turns -- he
manages to look away as now her eyes stay on him.
GRANDFATHER:
(off-screen)
That day, she was amazed to
discover that when he was saying,
"As you wish," what he meant was,
"I love you."
DISSOLVE TO:

5.
BUTTERCUP IN THE KITCHEN - DUSK
Westley enters with an armload of firewood.
GRANDFATHER:
(off-screen)
And even more amazing was the day
she realized she truly loved him
back.
BUTTERCUP:
(pointing to a pitcher
Farm Boy, fetch me that pitcher.
He gets it, hands it to her; they are standing very close to
each other gazing into each other's eyes.
WESTLEY:
As you wish.
Now he turns, moves outside.
DISSOLVE TO:
WESTLEY AND BUTTERCUP, outside his tiny hovel in the red
glow of sunset. They are locked in a passionate kiss.
THE KID:
(off-screen)
-hold it, hold it-
CUT TO:
THE KID'S ROOM
THE KID:
What is this? Are you trying to
trick me? -- Where's the sports? --
Is this a kissing book?
GRANDFATHER:
-- wait, just wait --
