--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.
WESTLEY AND BUTTERCUP They stand near the gate to the farm, locked in an embrace.
GRANDFATHER: (off-screen reading) It was a very emotional time for Buttercup --
THE KID:
(off-screen groaning) I don't be-leeve this.
BUTTERCUP:
I fear I'll never see you again.
WESTLEY:
Of course you will.
BUTTERCUP: But what if something happens to you?
WESTLEY:
Hear this now: I will come for you.
BUTTERCUP: But how can you be sure?
WESTLEY:
This is true love. You think this happens every day?
He smiles at her, she smiles too, throws her arms so tightly around him. They kiss. Then as Westley walks away, Buttercup watches him go.
GRANDFATHER: (off-screen reading) Westley didn't reach his destination. His ship was attacked by the Dread Pirate Roberts, who never left captives alive. When Buttercup got the news that Westley was murdered --
THE KID:
(off-screen, perking up a little) -- murdered by pirates is good --
CUT TO:
CLOSE UP:
Buttercup, staring out the window of her room.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7.
GRANDFATHER: (off-screen) She went into her room and shut the door. And for days, she neither slept nor ate.
BUTTERCUP: (no emotion at all in her voice) I will never love again.
HOLD ON HER FACE, perfect and perfectly sad.
DISSOLVE TO: FLORIN CASTLE - DAY The main courtyard of Florin replete with townspeople, livestock, and a bustling marketplace.
GRANDFATHER: (off-screen reading) Five years later, the main square of Florin City was filled as never before to hear the announcement of the great Prince Humperdinck's bride-to be.
CUT TO:
PRINCE HUMPERDINCK, a man of incredible power and bearing, standing in his royal robes on a castle balcony. Three others standing behind him: an OLD COUPLE with crowns, the aging KING AND QUEEN, and a dark bearded man who seems the Prince's match in strength: this is COUNT RUGEN.
HUMPERDINCK: (raises his hands, starts to speak) My people ... a month from now, our country will have its 500th anniversary. On that sundown, I shall marry a lady who was once a commoner like yourselves -- (pause) -- but perhaps you will not find her common now. Would you like to meet her?
