You forgot the very last part...you know...when he says it the final time and adds a certain phrase on the end?

Something to do with the fellow's canine mother, I do believe.

I enjoyed seeing it (I actually saw it at school about seven years ago or something) and my wife loves it as well. Andre was definitely classic - I always remember where he shouts "Clear the way!" and you see a wide path almost magically appear in the crowd. Too funny.

man, nothing, and I mean, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING should be taken seriously which comes over e-mail. If it was really that important, who in the world would use e-mail to convey it. Exceptions are things like ebay bid and outbid notices, credit card payment confirms, etc.

also, if its looks too good to be true (large sums of free money involved), then it is too good to be true.

Oh, sorry.
He's a character in The Princess Bride (click here).
Some six fingered man killed his father, and he spent the rest of his life studying swordplay and perfecting saying that line ("hello, my name is Inigo Montoya...") until he met the six fingered man again. (well this is just his part of the story, the movie mainly resolved around two other fellows)
It's a very good/funny movie, you should try and catch it. It was on HBO for a while a few month ago. I'm not sure if it's still on since I got rid of cable.
Some good quotes from the movie:
