The Player: There's a design at work in all art surely you know that? Events must play themselves out to an aesthetic, moral and logical conclusion.
Guildenstern: And what's that in this case?
The Player: It never varies. We aim for the point where everyone who is marked for death dies.
Guildenstern: Marked?

Guildenstern: Who decides?
The Player: Decides? It is written.
