What is Diplomacy? Part II


ROSENCRANTZ: Who is the English King?
GUILDENSTERN: That depends on when we get there.
ROSENCRANTZ: What do you think [the letter] says? 
GUILDENSTERN:  Oh...greetings.  Expressions of loyalty. Asking of favours, calling in of debts. Obscure promises balanced by vague threats....Diplomacy.
- Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
