An airline passenger wearing a shirt emblazoned with a famous movie quote was asked to remove it following complaints from other travelers.
Quantas passenger Wynand Mullins, who was flying from Sydney, Australia back to his native Auckland, New Zealand, was wearing a shirt with an infamous line from 80s fantasy romance film, The Princess Bride.
The line reads: "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
Despite the film's cult status, fellow passengers on Mullins' flight did not appreciate his attire.
After receiving a few strange looks while waiting to board, Mr Mullins was approached by a stewardess who asked him if he would mind changing his shirt.
"The flight attendant said to me: ‘Are you able to remove it because some of the passengers are quite intimidated by it'," he told Kiwi website Stuff.co.nz.
"I thought it was all a bit silly. The person next to me was laughing, because they knew the movie."
Mr Mullins said he didn't have another shirt to wear and joked that maybe he could wear a pilot's shirt.
The flight attendant left in search of another T-shirt but ended up dropping the issue.
"I wouldn't be surprised if they had someone watching me the whole time," he said.
"The whole experience was a bit over the top, but also a bit comical."
A Qantas spokesman said the airline had no record of the incident, so it had probably been handled by the crew on board.
