THE KID:
-- well, when does it get good?
GRANDFATHER:
Keep your shirt on. Let me read.

Westley had no money for marriage.

and left the farm to seek his
fortune across the sea.

WESTLEY AND BUTTERCUP
They stand near the gate to the farm, locked in an embrace.
GRANDFATHER:
(off-screen reading)
It was a very emotional time for
Buttercup --
THE KID:
(off-screen groaning)
I don't be-leeve this.
BUTTERCUP:
I fear I'll never see you again.
WESTLEY:
Of course you will.
BUTTERCUP:
But what if something happens to
you?
WESTLEY:
Hear this now:
I will come for you.BUTTERCUP:
But how can you be sure?
WESTLEY:
This is true love. You think this
happens every day?
He smiles at her, she smiles too, throws her arms so tightly
around him. They kiss. Then as Westley walks away, Buttercup
watches him go.
GRANDFATHER:
(off-screen reading)
Westley didn't reach his
destination. His ship was attacked
by the Dread Pirate Roberts, who
never left captives alive. When
Buttercup got the news that
Westley was murdered --
THE KID:
(off-screen, perking
up a little)
-- murdered by pirates is good --
CUT TO:
CLOSE UP:
Buttercup, staring out the window of her room.---------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.
GRANDFATHER:
(off-screen)
She went into her room and shut
the door. And for days, she
neither slept nor ate.
BUTTERCUP:
(no emotion at all in
her voice)
I will never love again.
HOLD ON HER FACE, perfect and perfectly sad.
