>Oh yes, and who are Rosencrantz & Guildernstern?

ROS: Who are they?
PLAYER: They're dead.

Seriously, though.  Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are two minor characters
in _Hamlet_.  Tom Stoppard wrote a play based around them called
_Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead_.  Your local oversize bookstore
(Borders, Barnes&Noble, Booksamillion, whatever) should have a copy.  I
highly recommend it.  (I also highly recommend the 1990 film of the same
name, directed by Stoppard and starring Gary Oldman, Tim Roth, and Richard
Dreyfuss.)  Think of it as _Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Six Characters
Waiting For Godot_.

CATHERINE: I don't know what's going on, but I think you'd better leave.
GABRIEL: You're right.  You have no idea what's going on.
