The Princess Bride1987

Grandson:
A book?

Grandpa:
That's right. When I was your age, television was called books. And this is a special book. It was the book my father used to read to me when I was sick, and I used to read it to your father. And today I'm gonna read it to you.

Grandson:
Has it got any sports in it?

Grandpa:
Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles...

Grandson:
Doesn't sound too bad. I'll try to stay awake.

Grandpa:
Oh, well, thank you very much, very nice of you. Your vote of confidence is overwhelming.
