The revenge business

In The Princess Bride, Mandy Patinkin gets the greatest line:  “My name is Inigo Montoya.  You killed my father.  Prepare to die.” During a visit to CIA headquarters recently, he reportedly got a lecture from the man whose role he’s now playing on TV, John Brennan, about keeping America’s relentless extremists at bay (as the New York Times put it).  The Times doesn’t say whether Patinkin used one of his trademark lines on Brennan: “I have been in the revenge business so long, now that it’s over, I don’t know what to do with the rest of my life.”
