Quote #7

"I love Westley. I always have. It seems I always will." (6.121)

Buttercup finally admits to Humperdinck that she loves Westley with all her heart. At this point, she still thinks that Humperdinck's a reasonable guy and that he'll step aside to let her and Westley be together. Fat chance, though. Humperdinck is way more interested in killing both of them.

Quote #8

At this point in the story, my wife wants it known that she feels violently cheated, not being allowed the scene of reconciliation on the ravine floor between the lovers. (5.1045)

Here, S. Morgenstern jumps into his own story and admits that his wife is mad at him for not giving the reader more of a reunion scene between the lovers Westley and Buttercup. But hey, the guy likes to keep his story moving, and at this point he feels like we've heard enough about how Buttercup and Westley feel about one another.

Quote #9

"Oh, my sweet Westley," Buttercup said. "What have I done to you now?" (5.983)

Buttercup eventually finds out that the man in black is actually Westley, but not before she shoves him down into a huge ravine. To her credit, though, she totally dives in after him once she realizes who he really is. That's not just love, folks—that's ravine-diving love.
