Guildenstern:
[after questioning Hamlet]
I think we can say we made some headway.
Rosencrantz:
You think so?
Guildenstern:
I think we can say that.
Rosencrantz:
I think we can say he made us look ridiculous.
Guildenstern:
We played it close to the chest, of course.
Rosencrantz:
Question and answer! Old ways are the best ways! He was scoring off us all down the line.
Guildenstern:
He caught us on the wrong foot once or twice, perhaps, but I thought we gained some ground.
Rosencrantz:
He murdered us.
Guildenstern:
He might have had the edge.
Rosencrantz:
Twenty-seven to three, and you think he might have had the edge? He *murdered* us!
Guildenstern:
What about our evasions?
Rosencrantz:
Oh, our evasions were lovely - "Were you sent for?" "My Lord, we were sent for." I didn't know where to put myself.
Guildenstern:
He had six rhetoricals.
Rosencrantz:
It was question and answer, all right. Twenty-seven questions he got out in ten minutes, and answered three! I was waiting for you to *delve.* "When is he going to start delving?" I asked myself.
