Canon is Technically 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead', but Shakespeare is close enough.

Yes but can you sustain it? That is really the question - and the answer to which all depends upon.

For a certain definition of 'all'. And a certain definition of 'depends', too, I should imagine.

It would be easier to manage with some backup, that's all I'm saying. I won't even much complain that you seem a bit... adrift, if you catch my meaning, as to where you even intend to place me.

So long as it's not on any boats!

Un-being makes her happy? Well I suppose it might, if being has been particularly miserable.

Unless you mean she hasn't been on boats, in which case I can hardly blame her. I've begun to develop a certain aversion myself...

I think she's happy about the fact that you're here, and not so much about the boats. And being not on boats.

[gyldensterne]

So she's happy that I'm here, and that we're not on a boat. I'm not entirely convinced this isn't a boat, but given any telltale signs of rocking or planking, I suppose it mustn't be. So, given that we aren't on a boat - which isn't a given, more of an assumption, but taking it as a given - she's free to be as happy or unhappy as she pleases.

Of course if we are in fact on a boat, or a ship I suppose or even a dinghy, then those sorts of decisions are out of our hands entirely and she's only as happy as it's possible to allow for, in such confines of forward momentum.

But taking the boat out of the equation, and then we get... then we get...

we get a negative boat, that's what we get.

[formersurgeon]

...of course.
