A scene from The Princess Bride 1987
Miracle Max

[Inigo pounds on a door] [from inside]

Go away!

Miracle Max

[Inigo pounds again] [opening a small window in the door]

What? What?

Inigo Montoya

Are you the Miracle Max who worked for the King all those years?

Miracle Max

The King's stinking son fired me. And thank you so much for bringing up such a painful subject. While you're at it, why don't you give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice on it? We're closed! [slams the window closed]

Miracle Max

[Inigo pounds again] [opening the window again]

Beat it, or I'll call the Brute Squad!

Fezzik

I'm on the Brute Squad.

Miracle Max

[looking at Fezzik]

You are the Brute Squad!

Inigo Montoya

We need a miracle. It's very important.

Miracle Max

Look, I'm retired. And besides, why would you want someone the King's stinking son fired? I might kill whoever you wanted me to miracle.

Inigo Montoya

He's already dead.

Miracle Max

[pauses]

He is, eh? I'll take a look. Bring him in.
