Whoops!
It must be indicative of something
besides the redistribution of wealth.
Heads.
to re-examine his faith,
for nothing else at least
in the law of probability...
Heads.
Consider.
One,
probability is a factor which
operates within natural forces.
Two, probability is not
operating as a factor.
Three, we are now held within um...
sub or supernatural forces.
Discuss!
What?
Look at it this way.
If six monkeys...
If six monkeys...
The law of averages,
if I have got this right means...
that if six monkeys were thrown
up in the air long enough...
they would land on their tails
about as often as they would
land on their...
Heads, getting a bit of
a bore, isn't it?
A bore?
Well...
What about the suspense?
What suspense?
It must be the law
of diminishing returns.
I still spell about to be broken.
Well, it was an even chance.
Seventy eight in a row.
A new record, I imagine.
Is that what you imagine?
A new record?
No questions?
Not a flicker of doubt?
I could be wrong.
No fear?
Fear?
Fear!
Seventy nine.
I think I have it.
Time has stopped dead.
The single experience of one coin
being spun once has been repeated.
A hundred and fifty six times.
On the whole, doubtful.
Or, a spectacular vindication
of the principle.
That each individual
coin spun individually is...
as likely to come down
heads as tails
surprise each individual time it does.
Heads...
I've never known anything like it.
He has never known
anything like it.
But he has never known
anything to write home about.
Therefore it's just nothing
to write home about.
What's the first thing
you remember?
Oh, let's see, hm...
into my head, you mean?
No...
the first thing you remember...
No, it's not good. It's gone.
So long time ago.
You don't get my mean.
all the things you forgot?
Oh, I see.
I've forgotten the question.
Are you happy?
What?
Content? At ease?
Well I suppose so.
What are you going to do now?
I don't know.
What do you want to do?
Look...
What about it?
We have been spinning coins
together since I don't know when...
and in all that time,
if it is all that time, one hundred
consecutively have come down heads
consecutive times, and all you can do
is play with your food.
Wait a minute.
There was a messenger.
Rosencrantz... Guildenstern...
We were sent for.
Another curious scientific
phenomenon is the fact that
the fingernails grow after death
... as does the beard.
What?
Beard!
But you're not dead!
I didn't say they only started
to grow after death!
The fingernails also grow
before birth. Though not the beard.
What?
Beard! What's the matter with you?
The toenails on the other hand
never grow at all.
The toenails on the other foot
never grow at all.
Do you remember the first thing
that happened today?
Oh, I woke up, I suppose.
I've got it now...
That man, he woke us up.
A messenger.
That's it...
pale sky before dawn,
a man standing on his saddle
to bang on the shutters...
But then he called our names...
You remember, man woke us up.
We were sent for.
That's why we're here.
Traveling a matter of extreme
urgency... a royal summons,
his very words...
