What this episode covers

The 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. The Grandson : Has it got any sports in it? Grandpa : Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles... The 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. - The Princess Bride, 1987
