Inigo had returned to visit Westley and Buttercup after several months' time, much the worse for wear. "What has happened to you, old friend?" Westley asked him.

"Vizzini often warned us, 'never get involved in a land war in Asia'," Inigo said. "Unfortunately, I failed to heed his warning, and I committed that classic blunder myself."

"I am confused," Buttercup said. "After Westley and I were married, you took the name of the Dread Pirate Roberts. How did a sea-faring pirate get involved in a land war in Asia?"

"Obviously," Inigo said sadly, "I was not a very good pirate."
