Inconceivable! You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

You seem a decent fellow, Inigo said. I hate to kill you. You seem a decent fellow, answered the man in black. I hate to die.

Let's look on the bright side: we're having an adventure, Fezzik, and most people live and die without being as lucky as we are.
