1 | * A {{metafiction}}al moment, when Ros yells "FIRE" and wonders why no one's leaving their seats. |
2 | * Guildenstern waxing philosophical, only for Rosencrantz to take his musings completely literally: |
3 | -->'''Guil:''' I'm him, you see.\ |
4 | '''Ros:''' Who am I then?\ |
5 | '''Guil:''' You're yourself. |
6 | * Multiple characters looking around after hearing Guildenstern's outburst: |
7 | -->'''Guildenstern:''' You know what to do.\ |
8 | '''Rosencrantz:''' What?\ |
9 | '''Guildenstern:''' Are you stupid?\ |
10 | '''Rosencrantz:''' Pardon?\ |
11 | '''Guildenstern:''' Are you deaf?\ |
12 | '''Rosencrantz:''' Did you speak?\ |
13 | '''Guildenstern:''' ''(realizing what he's doing)'' Not now.\ |
14 | '''Rosencrantz:''' Statement.\ |
15 | '''Guildenstern:''' '''NOT NOW!''' ''(It echos and he and Rosencrantz both look around, as do all the players.)'' |
16 | * A brilliant little moment poking fun at the increasingly philosophical story: |
17 | -->'''Guildenstern:''' [[CessationOfExistence Death is the ultimate negative. Not-being.]] You can't ''not be'' on a boat.\ |
18 | '''Rosencrantz:''' I've frequently not been on boats.\ |
19 | '''Guildenstern:''' No, no, no...what you've been is not on boats. |
20 | * Rosencrantz and Guildenstern introduce themselves to the Players...or, try to, anyway. |
21 | -->'''Rosencrantz:''' My name is Guildenstern, and this is Rosencrantz. (''Guildenstern whispers in his ear'') I'm sorry -- ''his'' name's Guildenstern, and ''I'm'' Rosencrantz. |
22 | * Guildenstern's long pause before telling Rosencrantz, "...I think I'm going to kill you." |
23 | * Rosencrantz dropping a leather ball and a feather. |
24 | -->'''Rosencrantz:''' You would think ''this'' would fall faster than ''this'', wouldn't you? (''drops them'') ...And you'd be absolutely right. |
25 | * Rosencrantz finds a set of pots arranged like a Newton's Cradle. When he swings a pot back to demonstrate the effect to Guildenstern, they hit and shatter. |
26 | * Rosencrantz, wearing his sleep mask, moves to blow out the bedside candle and misses completely. |
27 | * Rosencrantz wakes up with the prow of a pirate's ship crashed through the wall. He's still groggy and mistakes the figurehead on it for a real woman. Just as he tries to kiss it, the boat pulls back and carries her/it away. |
28 | * Rosencrantz builds a paper airplane and it flies around the castle before returning to him. When he next shows it to Guildenstern, it's an origami biplane. Guildenstern crumples it. |
29 | * Rosencrantz and his giant sandwich. |
30 | * Rosencrantz's outrage coming out of the "hawk from a handsaw" scene. |
31 | -->'''Guildenstern:''' [[{{Understatement}} He might've had the edge.]]\ |
32 | '''Rosencrantz:''' 27-3, and you think he ''might'' have had the edge?! [[{{Foreshadowing}} He]] ''[[{{Foreshadowing}} murdered]]'' [[{{Foreshadowing}} us]]. |
33 | * Rosencrantz repeating Guildenstern as Guildenstern shouts at The Player that nobody can act death. |
34 | -->'''Guildenstern:''' Actors! What do you know about death? Mechanics of cheap melodrama!\ |
35 | '''Rosencrantz:''' Cheap melodrama!\ |
36 | '''Guildenstern:''' Doesn't bring death home to anyone.\ |
37 | '''Rosencrantz:''' Not a home to anyone!\ |
38 | '''Guildenstern:''' ''[to Ros]'' Shut up.\ |
39 | '''Rosencrantz:''' Shut up! |
40 | * Rosencrantz mimicking animal noises. |
41 | * Guildenstern's diapproving head shakes. |
42 | * Rosencrantz trying to introduce themselves to the English King: |
43 | -->'''English King:''' Who are you?\ |
44 | '''Rosencrantz:''' We are Guildenstern and Rosencrantz.\ |
45 | '''English King:''' Which is which?\ |
46 | '''Rosencrantz:''' Well, I'm Guildenstern and--\ |
47 | '''Guildenstern:''' He's Rosencrantz.\ |
48 | '''Rosencrantz:''' Exactly. |
49 | * This exchange, after the Player has none too subtly hinted that the traveling company of actors supplement their income with prostitution: |
50 | -->'''Rosencrantz:''' You're not ''exclusively'' players?\ |
51 | '''[[DeadpanSnarker The Player:]]''' We are ''inclusively'' players. |
