How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
And Inigo's face began to bleed. Two rivers of blood poured from his forehead to his chin, one crossing each cheek. (5.375)
Yup, this ain't your preschool fairy tale. We're talking serious action with lots of blood. And you'd better get used to it, because there's more where this came from.
Quote #2
"You're killing her!" the Sicilian screamed, showing harder with the knife. A drop of blood appeared now at Buttercup's throat, red against white. (5.834)
One thing that Goldman is very good at is making us wonder what's going to happen next. For example, the general rule in a scene like this is for Buttercup not to get hurt—but now that the Sicilian's knife has broken her skin and made her bleed, we're not really sure anymore what's going to happen next.
