    Inigo: Begin. You are using Bonetti's defense against me, uh?

    Dread Pirate Roberts: I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain.

    Inigo: Naturally, you must expect me to attack with Capo Ferro.

    Dread Pirate Roberts: Naturally, but I find that Thibault cancels Capo Ferro, don't you?

    Inigo: Unless the enemy hasn't studied his Agrippa, which I have!

    [pause]

    Inigo: You are wonderful!

    Dread Pirate Roberts: Thank you. I've worked hard to become so.

    Inigo: I admit it, you are better than I am.

    Dread Pirate Roberts: Then why are you smiling?

    Inigo: Because I know something you don't know.

    Dread Pirate Roberts: And what is that?

    Inigo: I am not left-handed.

    Dread Pirate Roberts: You're amazing!

    Inigo: I ought to be after twenty years.

    Dread Pirate Roberts: There is something I ought to tell you.

    Inigo: Tell me.

    Dread Pirate Roberts: I'm not left-handed either.

    It's the second best sword fight ever filmed (to that point). It says so in the script.

    When I fought with the SCA, I was the only one That could fight Otto {a lefty} and hold my own' When he asked me how I was able to hold my own against him, I told him, "I'm watching your weapon and body movements. It makes no never mind to me which hand that weapon is in." I trained under a left handed Knight in the goup Knights of Olde. I think that was an advantage in my training. I still have the scar on my foot where the broadsword went through the top of my left foot. But I won my Knighthood! No pain, no gain!
