My name is Matty Montoya ...

I am feeling a special affinity with Inigo Montoya these days. NOT because I am a revenge-driven master swordsman. I am, of course, but that's not why.

There is a scene in The Princess Bride where confronts the object of his revenge. Said object runs away and locks the door after him.

Thwarted in his attempts to break down the door, Inigo starts calling for his very large friend Fezzik. Here is how it reads in the screenplay:
Fezzik!!!!!! I need you!!!!! He's getting away from me, Fezzik!!! Please!!!
Arr!!! Fezzik!!! Aaargh!!
Arr! Arrgh!< Fezzik breaks door down > Thank you.
Every time I have to call someone for help, I think of Inigo.
