Buttercup: Farm boy, fill these with water - please. Westley: As you wish. Grandpa: That day, she was amazed to discover that when he was saying "As you wish," what he meant was, "I love you." And even more amazing was the day she realized she truly loved him back.

This famous line is spoken by Miracle Max, played by Billy Crystal, in The PrincessBride (directed by Rob Reiner, 1987).

When Vizzini thinks that Westley has made a fateful error, he quickly launches into a truly bizarre villain speech, ranting and raving about the classic blunders of combat and negotiations - leading to the great remark, "Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line!"
But perhaps the most hilarious of them all is Wallace Shawn's pint-sized Vizzini. A Sicilian crime lord, Vizzini is the first real foe that Princess Buttercup and Westley (as the Dread Pirate Roberts) are forced to contend with. After being taken captive, Princess Buttercup is forced to bear witness to the duel of words and wine between Vizzini and the Dread Pirate.
This, of course, was due in large part to Buttercup's belief that Westley had been killed.
When Inigo and Fezzik eventually switch over to the good guys' side and find themselves responsible for resurrecting the mostly dead Westley, things get messy. Inigo takes it upon himself to try and explain what's going on to the barely conscious Dread Pirate Roberts.
Fezzik's impressive stature is immediately apparent to anyone who meets him. His immense size - earning him monikers such as a "hippopotamic land mass, " courtesy of Vizzini - is also his most valuable trait, in addition to his kind heart.
One of Vizzini's most awkward, and hilarious, quirks is his need to proclaim "Inconceivable!". at almost all surprising turns of events. It happens multiple times in the film's first act, before Inigo takes it upon himself to intervene - speaking on behalf of himself, and all of the film's viewers, too.
But his partners in crime, Inigo Montoya and Fezzik, are often willing to call him out whenever he's making a fool of himself - which is, apparently, quite often.
That story is the incredible tale of sword-fighting, betrayal, manipulative princes, and so much more, but most importantly, the love between Westley and Buttercup.
When he was just "farm boy" to Buttercup, she'd ask him to do things, initially not even offering him a 'please' or 'thank you.'. His response was always 'as you wish.'.
Westley's clever and his witticisms are a welcome comedic aspect in the film. His response to Humperdinck's simple "Surrender" is priceless. Westley doesn't have it in him to surrender to anyone; he's the kind of man that will put up a Hell of a fight first.
Buttercup and Westley's love is one-of-a-kind, the truest and purest form of love. Love can make anyone feel invincible if it's felt strongly enough, and if it's as powerful and passionate and meaningful as can be.
Then again, without him, The Princess Bride wouldn't be cult classic that it has since become.
Though the quote can be perceived as depressing, the thing is, life is also full of great joy if you allow it. Life is pain, but sometimes pain leads to greater things. In Westley's case, it led him back to his true love after a long separation (with Buttercup believing he was dead), and they got to ride away on horseback to their happily ever after at the end of their story.
Vizzini used this word a lot. Inigo is right, though; it's pretty obvious that Vizzini doesn't actually knows what it means. Yet, it suits him. It's funny, how he finds a lot of things 'inconceivable', but it turns out, they're not so inconceivable after all.
Here he explains his favorite quote from the Princess Bride. I love him. “. And for me that’s the most potent line in the whole film. And that is, ‘I have been in the revenge business so long. Now that it’s over, I do not know what to do with the rest of my life.’. And I love that line. I love it for all of us.
