CUT TO:
The giant Fezzik carries Buttercup, unconscious, on board.
Vizzini rips some tiny pieces of fabric from an army jacket and tucks them along the saddle of Buttercup's horse. There is about the entire operation a sense of tremendous skill and precision.
INIGO: what is that you're ripping?
VIZZINI (not stopping or turning): It's fabric from the uniform of an Army officer of Guilder.
FEZZIK: Who's Guilder?
VIZZINI: The country across the sea. The sworn enemy of Florin. (slaps the horse's rump) Go!
(The horse takes off. They start for the boat.)
VIZZINI:Once the horse reaches the castle, the fabric will make the Prince suspect the Guilderians have abducted his love. When he finds her body dead on the Guilder frontier, his suspicions will be totally confirmed.
FEZZIK: You never said anything about killing anyone.
VIZZINI: I've hired you to help me start a war. That's a prestigious line of work with a long and glorious tradition.
FEZZIK: I just don't think it's right, killing an innocent girl.
VIZZINI: (whirling on FEZZIK) Am I going mad or did the word "think" escape your lips? You were not hired for your brains, you hippopotamic land mass.
INIGO: I agree with FEZZIK.
VIZZINI (We only thought he was in a fury -- now he's really getting mad): Oh. The sot has spoken. What happens to her is not truly your concern -- I will kill her - (To INIGO) And remember this -- never forget this -- when I found you, you were so slobbering drunk you couldn't buy brandy!
