| 0:00.0 | Hello there, slow going? I don't need to be rude, but this is not as easy as it looks so I'd appreciate it if you |
| 0:13.2 | would distract me. Sorry I don't suppose you could have speed things out. Look if you're in |
| 0:18.7 | such a hurry you could lower a rope or a tree branch or find something useful to do. |
| 0:23.4 | Who did I? I have some rope up here. But I don't do you accept my help since I am only waiting |

| 1:14.8 | It'd be far easier to just send them further down the cliff. |
| 1:17.8 | The whole scenario is really funny there in the Princess Bride too because surely Inigo could just find some rocks or something |
| 1:24.6 | and throw him down at Wesley's head while he's trying to climb the wall but he doesn't. |
| 1:28.3 | They're having this civilized discussion and what should be a serious debate about life and death instead is really a little |
