on marriage

We were watching Princess Bride and Abby asked why Dread Pirate Roberts wanted to find Princess Buttercup:

M: Because he loves her and wants to find her.
A: Why does he want her though?
M: Because he wants her to be his wife, like G is my wife.
A: Well who can be my husband?
M: I don't know. Miles (Cunningham)?
A: Yes, Miles would be a good husband.
M: Grayson (Maynor)?
A: No, because he's not in the family. He lives too far away.

I'm not sure how to explain that it is a good thing to marry someone that is not in the family (yet). For a while she wanted to marry her daddy. Abby did mention later that Grayson might be a good husband because Abby would like to be called "Abby Maynor."
