Inigo: You seem like a decent fellow. I hate to kill you.  
MiB: You seem like a decent fellow. I hate to die.

but only slightly less famous is this…

I’m not a witch, I’m your wife (OK I use this one a lot!)

My favorite line is the albino telling Westley where he is:  
::hisses::“In the Pit of DESSSSPAAAAIR. Don’t even try” (cough, cough, hack) ::normal voice:: “Don’t even try to escape…”

Cracks me up every time.

I found a .wav somewhere, and now whenever I close down my computer I hear it … “INCONCEIVABLE!” I get the giggles every day, imagining Wallace Shaw inside my computer, outraged that I’ve shut down Windows.

I love when Fezzig finds Inigo in the forest, inebriated, and lifts his head. The music swells and he says, “it’s you.”

Several people have mentioned that they thought Peter Falk was Westley when he tells the grandson “as you wish” at the end. That reminds of of the first time I saw Fried Green Tomatoes (the movie). At the end, I thought Jessica Tandy was Idgie.
