He had to prepare his brain, he had to get his mind controlled and safe from their efforts, so that they could not break him. He would not let them break him.

Let me get this thing straight, Inigo--we had SCRAPS for dinner? I'M in YOUR fantasy and the best you can come up with is SCRAPS?" She turned toward the door then. "You have no chance of winning my heart.
