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!
