To visit you, my lord; no other occasion.

 

Rosencrantz

Hamlet            Act II Scene ii, Line 74

Our good friend Rosencrantz is replying to Hamlet’s question,

But in the beaten way of friendship, what make you at Elsinore?

Essentially, what are you doing here?

Just visiting you.

Ah, but is that the truth? Well, I’m not sure what brought Rosencrantz and his buddy Guildenstern to Elsinore, but I do know that the king has enlisted the two of them to try to find out what’s up with crazy Hamlet. And crazy Hamlet is on to them. These guys are old friends of Hamlet, but I think that friendship has waned a bit. Remember how this thing ends up for Mssrs. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern: they end up unwittingly going to England to have themselves executed, thanks to Hamlet. 

Well, at least Rosencrantz gets a street named after him.

Seriously? If you're talking about Rosencrans Ave in Redondo, it's Rosencrans, not Rosencrantz. And if you don't mind my saying so, Mr. Blagys, to say that their friendship has "waned a  bit" is somewhat of an understatement, don't you think? He sent them to get themselves executed? How does that even work?

Wow, Mojo, you've got this blue light aura around you; it's almost mystical looking.

 Don't try to change the subject. Ugh!
