Hee! Thanks!!! I love Ros & Guil so much! :D
I was too lazy to get up and get my copy of the play to check the original quote, though. lol
This is sad.

That is one of the very best quotes ever ever ever from one of the very best movies ever ever ever and one of the very best plays ever ever ever.

My fave still has to be either 'heads ... heads ... heads ... heads' etc or 'I don't believe in it anyway' 'in what?' 'England' 'What? Just a conspiracy of cartographers, you mean?' (not exact on those heh, I have neither my copy of the movie or play available).

I do love your writing, even if it is small. Small writing is just beautiful.

I COULDN'T AGREE MORE!!!!!

haha Oh, the conspiracy of cartographers is one of my favorites too! And the "I've frequently not been on boats". Or the "Adress me." "My dear Guildenstern!" "You've forgotten, haven't you?" "My dear Rosencrantz!"
GAH! SO MANY wonderful quotes!!!
Not to mention the part of the "life in a box" speech where he talks about the moment in childhood where we learn we don't go on forever.
I COULD QUOTE THE WHOLE THING, OMG! I LOVE IT!!!!

Awww thank you! I used to think there was something wrong with me for writing so small. Now I just think it's part of my "charm". :P lol

'Out we come, bloodied and squalling, with the knowledge that for all the points of the compass, there's only one direction, and time is its only measure.'

There really are far too many of them. I think what I love most about that speech, especially in the movie, is Guildenstern's very blase 'I think I'm going to kill you ...'

*draws little hearts around that quote*

haha Yes!!! I think the movie added a lot of incredible things to the play, like those scenes where Ros is discovering the laws of physics, but when he tries to show Guil, it never works.
"You would think that THIS would fall faster than THIS, wouldn't you? ... And you'd be absolutely right!"
