Heads.
Whoops!
It must be indicative of something
besides the redistribution of weaIth.
Heads.
to re-examine his faith,
for nothing eIse at Ieast
in the Iaw of probabiIity...
Heads.
Consider.
One,
probabiIity is a factor which
operates within naturaI forces.
Two, probabiIity is not
operating as a factor.
Three, we are now heId within um...
sub or supernaturaI forces.
Discuss!
/What?
Look at it this way.
If six monkeys...
If six monkeys...
The Iaw of averages,
if I have got this right means...
that if six monkeys were thrown
up in the air Iong enough...
they wouId Iand on their taiIs
about as often as they wouId
Iand on their...
Heads, getting a bit of
a bore, isn't it?
A bore?
/WeII...
What about the suspense?
What suspense?
It must be the Iaw
of diminishing returns.
I stiII speII about to be broken.
WeII, 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 fIicker of doubt?
I couId be wrong.
No fear?
/Fear?
Fear!
Seventy nine.
I think I have it.
Time has stopped dead.
The singIe experience of one coin
being spun once has been repeated.
A hundred and fifty six times.
On the whoIe, doubtfuI.
Or, a spectacuIar vindication
of the principIe.
That each individuaI
coin spun individuaIIy is...
as IikeIy to come down
heads as taiIs
surprise each individuaI time it does.
Heads...
I've never known anything Iike it.
He has never known
anything Iike 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, Iet's see, hm...
into my head, you mean?
No...
the first thing you remember...
No, it's not good. It's gone.
So Iong time ago.
You don't get my mean.
aII the things you forgot?
Oh, I see.
I've forgotten the question.
Are you happy?
What?
/Content? At ease?
WeII 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 aII that time,
if it is aII that time, one hundred
consecutiveIy have come down heads
consecutive times, and aII you can do
is pIay with your food.
Wait a minute.
There was a messenger.
Rosencrantz... GuiIdenstern...
We were sent for.
Another curious scientific
phenomenon is the fact that
the fingernaiIs grow after death
... as does the beard.
What?
Beard!
/But you're not dead!
I didn't say they onIy started
to grow after death!
The fingernaiIs aIso grow
before birth. Though not the beard.
What?
/Beard! What's the matter with you?
The toenaiIs on the other hand
never grow at aII.
The toenaiIs on the other foot
never grow at aII.
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...
paIe sky before dawn,
a man standing on his saddIe
to bang on the shutters...
But then he caIIed our names...
You remember, man woke us up.
We were sent for.
That's why we're here.
TraveIing a matter of extreme
urgency... a royaI summons,
his very words...
