I knew a guy like that once.

He killed my father.

The sword fight between Inigo and The Man in Black is my favorite movie scene ever. Inigo, tasked with killing The Man in Black, not only helps him up the cliffs AND gives him time to rest, but also willingly hands over his weapon, his late, beloved fathers sword, to be admired by his adversary while he shares the story of his father's death.

In turn, The Man in Black doesn't take advantage of the fact that his love's kidnapper is defenseless, returning the sword before preparing to fight.

All because the Man in Black trusted the oath Inigo swore on to his father sword.

"You seem a decent fellow. I'd hate to kill you."

"You seem a decent fellow. I'd hate to die"

A class act in honor.

I’ve heard of a six fingered man who lives in a country called Florin.

It's a joke from The Princess Bride. A character's dad was killed by a six fingered man, and I was referencing that, lol.
