No more shall the birds or the beasts seek to harm me, From the power that has held them, they will henceforth be set free And should another such attempt dare come to be The doer of the spell shall be so cursed ten-fold, plus three!

About This Quote

There is a prophecy in the movie The Princess Bride in which there is a curse in which if the spellcaster who put the love spell on Buttercup was ever taken out of the life of Inigo Montoya, he would be cursed ten-fold plus three. This curse is from Westley's father, Vizzini. In the end, Inigo kills the spellcaster and ends up with Buttercup. This is a very popular saying to use when referring to something that is going to be a terrible idea.
