Quote #4

BUTTERCUP: And when I say you are a coward, that is only because you are the slimiest weakling ever to crawl the earth.

Another example of Buttercup showing off her own bravery by cutting down someone else for having courage in short supply. She has to know Humperdinck isn't going to take that one too well, but she says it anyway. Remind us not to ask her what she thinks of our new haircut. That girl tells it like it is.

Quote #5

COUNT RUGEN: Good heavens. Are you still trying to win?

This is perhaps one of the greatest examples of courage in the entire flick. It's one thing to be brave when you're at 100% and don't have the handle of a dagger protruding from your abdomen. But Inigo finds a way to fight past the pain and draw deeply from his reserve of courage. He comes right at Rugen, even when he knows it's going to mean still more pain.
