Rosencrantz: “Do you think death could possibly be a boat?"
Guildenstern: "No, no, no. Death is not. Death isn't. Take my meaning? Death is the ultimate negative, not being. You can't not be on a boat."
Rosencrantz: "I've frequently not been on boats."
Guildenstern: "No, no. What you've been is not on boats."
