Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead

Do you ever think of yourself as actually dead, lying in a box with a lid on it? No. Nor do I really. Silly to be depressed by it. I mean, one thinks of it like being alive in a box, and one keeps forgetting to take into account the fact that one is dead... which should make all the difference... shouldn’t it? I mean, you’d never know you were in a box, would you? It would be just like you were asleep in a box. Not that I’d like to sleep in a box, mind you, not without any air. You’d wake up dead for a start, and then where would you be? In a box. That’s the bit I don’t like frankly. That’s why don’t think of it. Because you’d be helpless, wouldnt you? Stuffed in a box like that. I mean, you’d be in there for ever. Even taking into account the fact that you’re dead, it isn’t a pleasant thought. Especially if you’re dead, really... ask yourself, if I asked you straight off... I’m going to stuff you in this box
