Twenty-seven years after The Princess Bride hit theaters, barely made a dent, then slowly achieved cult-hit status, star Cary Elwes has written a book about the famous film. As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales From the Making of The Princess Bride [1] will hit shelves this week, and fans should be pleased with the behind-the-scenes stories from the set. Elwes did an interview with NPR [2] about the book, in which he revealed some tidbits about his experience. Here's the exact moment he realized the movie was a success.

"I was in a restaurant in New York and I was ordering a hamburger. The waitress said, 'How do you want that done?' And I said, 'Medium rare.' And she said, 'As you wish.' And I looked up at her and I went, 'What did you just say?!' And she winked and walked off. And I thought, 'Oh!' And so it was a wonderful, delightful rebirth, if you will."

Whoever that waitress is, I'd like to be friends with her. What are you hoping to hear about in the book?
