GUIL Do it again.   (Slight pause.)   ROS We can't afford it.   GUIL Yes, one must think of the future.   ROS It's the normal thing.   GUIL To have one.   One is, after all, having it all the time&hellip now&hellip and now&hellip and now&hellip ROS It could go on for ever.   Well, not for ever, I suppose.   (Pause.)   Do you ever think of yourself as actually dead, lying in a box with a lid on it?   GUIL No.   ROS Nor do I, really&hellip It's silly to be depressed by it.   I mean one thinks of it like being alive in a box, one keeps forgetting to take into account the fact that one is dead&hellip which should make a difference&hellip shouldn't it?   I mean, you'd never know you were in a box, would you?   It would be just like being asleep in a box.     Not that I'd like to sleep in a box, mind you, not without any air -- you'd wake up dead, for a start and then where would you be?     Apart from inside a box.   That's the bit I don't like, frankly.   That's why I don't think of it&hellip (GUIL stirs restlessly, pulling his cloak around him.)   Because you'd be helpless, wouldn't you?   Stuffed in a box like that, I mean you'd be in there for ever.   Even taking into account the fact that you're dead, really&hellip ask yourself, if I asked you straight off -- I'm going to stuff you in this box now, would you rather be alive or dead?   Naturally, you'd prefer to be alive.
