Summary
There they sit, and for this their minute of quietude, Guildenstern allows himself to be ignorant of the strange happenings about them, and of the Prince, and of the blasphemous incest which had plunged the whole country into this tragedy of errors. He thinks only of Rosencrantz, who now leans into him and the weight of his trust in Guildenstern’s hands.
“Perhaps we ought to have sex,” Rosencrantz eventually offers.
“…What?” Guildenstern turns to him. Perplexity is a muffling sort of emotion and settles first upon the ears before the mind.
“Have sex. Y’know. Intercourse.” Rosencrantz says this shamelessly, as though he is speaking of the weather.
“We are having intercourse.”
Perhaps Rosencrantz does not know what he is saying.
“I mean biblically.”
Or perhaps he does.
