Miracle Max: Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens
that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between
mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well,
with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.

Inigo Montoya: What's that?

Miracle Max: Go through his clothes and look for loose change.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love his comment: "Only the good die young, so I didn't go."

"So, do you think they'll make it?"

"It would take a miracle."

I hear there's a movie being made along these lines, about a guy in a coma who hears the doctors say they're going to kill him or something like that.

Sounds like something from Stephen King

Everytime I hear a story like this, which is too often, I wonder how many people have been prematurely killed by pulling the plug when the doctors say there's "no hope".
