“As you wish.” Three words that sound like a servant talking to his boss, and Buttercup knew Westley by them the instant she heard them. Why did those words get through when the line about pain didn’t?
In the second of six episodes of The Princess Bride, licensed marriage and family therapist Eddie Eccker returns to the farm, where a rude farm girl orders a farmhand around, and he answers the same way every time. The scene usually gets read as proof that love is action, not words. Eddie thinks that reading is wrong, and the real lesson is more useful.
