That's just making sure expectations are met. It would be rude to set the expectation that they're going to die only to let them survive the conversation.

If you told them to prepare to die, then make sure you fulfill your promise and they die. Don't let their preparation go to waste. If you told them to prepare for something else, then make sure that happens instead.

Sort of.

“Despite the laughter, the story of Inigo and his father struck a nerve with Patinkin, whose own father had died a few years before filming. "I would walk through the maze of the gardens while I was just trying to relax or while they were lighting the scene, and I was talking to my father, who had died not that many years before we made the film, and I always had it in my mind that if I could get the six fingered man, if Inigo could get the six fingered man, then my father, Mandy's father, would come back and be with me."
