Line #18 Funny/RosencrantzAndGuildensternAreDead


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.
