Play in play
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern only played tricks in HAMLET, but Stoppa, who was the director, brought their brothers to the front desk gorgeously, discussing, arguing, arguing, dissolving, and waiting endlessly for Godot... The lines are really wonderful, from the drama It was changed to a movie,...

Wilde's comments on these two characters
Looking at ancient and modern dramas, I don’t know what else can reach an unparalleled level of art like Shakespeare’s portrayal of Rosenkrantz and Gildonstein, or be better in observing subtle hints. They were Hamlet's friends at school and the boy's companions. What they bring is memories of...

GO and TR play the two most common types of people in life: GO is dumb and dull and content with the status quo, and all his ingenious thoughts are used to find ways to play some flowers around, so he doesn't understand TR's mourning, and he has to poke it from time to time. Just tease him; TR is vigilant and suspicious of everything, always thinking about who I am, where I am from, and what I am doing, and always gives the nagging GO a look of disgust at the mentally retarded. But the reality is so cruel, no matter if you are confused, or if you try hard, a small person is always a small person. You can't change the plot or make any waves. You can only silently watch other people's earth-shattering events, participate in confusion without knowing it, and finally suddenly be fateful. Write to death and become a painless line in the script.

Guildenstern: Where's Hamlet?
Rosencrantz: Gone!
Guildenstern: Gone, where?
Rosencrantz: The pirates took him.
Guildenstern: But they can't! We're supposed to be... We've got a letter which says... The whole thing's pointless without him. We need Hamlet for our release!
Rosencrantz: I'll pretend to be... *You* pretend to be him, and... Right.
[pauses]
Rosencrantz: I suppose we just go on.
Guildenstern: Go where?
Rosencrantz: England?
Guildenstern: England. I don't believe it!
Rosencrantz: What, just a conspiracy of cartographers, you mean?
Guildenstern: [grabs Rosencrantz] I *mean* I don't believe it! And even if it's true, what do we say?
Rosencrantz: We say, "We've arrived!"
The Player: [as King of England] Who are you?
Rosencrantz: We are Guildenstern & Rosencrantz.
The Player: [as King] Which is which?
Rosencrantz: Well, I'm Guildenstern.
Guildenstern: And he's Rosencrantz.
Rosencrantz: Exactly.
The Player: [as King] What does this have to do with me? You turn up out of the blue with some cock-and-bull story...
Guildenstern: We have a letter.
[presents letter]
The Player: [as King] A letter?
[chuckles, takes letter]
The Player: Hm.
[reading]
The Player: As England is Denmark's faithful tributary. As love between them, like the palm might flourish, et cetera, that on the knowing of these contents, without delay of any kind, should those bearers, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern, put to sudden death.
Rosencrantz: Not that letter. Give him the other one.
Guildenstern: I haven't got another one.
The Player: [shrugs, then yells to Tragedians] They're gone! It's all over!
Guildenstern: Where we went wrong, was getting on a boat.

Rosencrantz: We were sent for. That's why we're here. Traveling a matter of extreme urgency, a royal summons, his very words, official business no questions asked, up we get and off at the gallop, fearful lest we come too late!
Guildenstern: Too late for what?
Rosencrantz: How would I know? We haven't got there yet.
