Most unusual Princess Bride reference ever?

unusualYou keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

This is very true for "deus ex machina" and "epileptic tree theory".

It could be a reference, after all it is is last words to his son. But I think it more likely just coincidence.

It's not a reference. Just because something shares a term doesn't make it a reference. This is in no possible way connected to an unrequited romance between a stable boy and a noble woman.

"As you wish" is still a standard English phrase.

Given the Star Wars references in the past though, it does remind me of episode five where Vader is giving instructions to the Bounty Hunters.

Come on, you know you heard Jeremy Bulloch's voice there.

IF Tarquin said, "I love you, Son" as he was stabbing him to death, I think it would mean something. :smalleek:

It's a valid interpretation, though. It's one I pondered late last night as I realized he said that whilst he was plunging the dagger into Nale's flesh.
