Grandfather: The Princess Bride, by S. Morgenstern.
Grandson: Does it have any sports in it?
Grandfather:Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture,
revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, True
Love, miracles...
Grandson: Doesn't sound too bad. I'll try and stay awake.

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.

Fezzik: We face each other as God intended...sportsmanlike. No
tricks, no weapons, skill against skill alone.
Dread Pirate Roberts: You mean, you'll put down your rock and I'll put down
my sword and we'll try and kill each other like
civilized people?
______________________________________________________
Dread Pirate Roberts:
All right. Where is the poison? The battle of wits
has begun. It ends when you decide and we both
drink, and find out who is right...and who is dead.
Vizzini: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from
what I know of you: are you the sort of man who
would put the poison into his own goblet or his
enemy's?
Vizzini: You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong,
so you could've put the poison in your own goblet,
trusting on your strength to save you, so I can
clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But,
you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must
have studied, and in studying you must have learned
that man is mortal, so you would have put the poison
as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly
not choose the wine in front of me

Grandfather: "Since the invention of the kiss, there have been five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind....

One last picture for you guys to enjoy!

Fourth-wall commentary.
I figured that everybody in the contest would be doing single large scenes, and it would appear that I was right.
So I decided that I might do better if I broke the mold a little and did something totally different.
Over the course of a few days, conversation topics with my team-mates ranged from, How To Build A Rock Table, AGH! SO MUCH BLOOD!, and, How to make a Minifig Kiss (Not as easy as it sounds, trust me).
That being said, WIP shots were posted, ideas were bounced, things were rearranged, and I figured out that floor building stinks.
So I give you a Pentaptych in the style of The Princess Bride!
Enjoy!

Simply ingenious! I love the multiple-scene idea; each one is so well-executed and merges into the next perfectly! The stairs in the duel scene and the bedroom stand out the most. Wonderful work! |

Love the concept of the multiple scenes. Some nice work in each. Score of 4. |

This is a solid 3, but I am granting a bonus point for the effort and detail. Your score = 4 |

Alright, thanks for the correction Blake!
Your pronouncement of a three was a rather horrid surprise, but now that that's been fixed, I can live with a solid four any day of the week.
;)
Thanks again! |

LEGO Junkie, I clearly had other matters on my mind when judging this. I thought for sure that I had awarded you a 3, but was notified by a teammate regarding my very obvious lack of appreciation for this model. Having discussed this matter with the judges, we have decided to fix my mistake. This is not a revision, merely a correction to a mis-posted score. Let me know if you have any questions. Score: a solid 4 |

A 3? That is a total ripoff. You really managed a great chunk of story in a fairly small space and did it quite accurately; I love the bedroom!~H |

Being an avid fan of the Princess Bride, I noticed a few... eh... minor deveations. But besides a few of the minifigure part choices and some small bits in the scenes, this is quite a masterpiece! |
