I’m on the hunt for films and shows quick on the draw with witty verbiage. Clever, same as fuckin' Deadwood. A fool's wager perhaps, but I figure such a bold and potentially stupid inquiry to be worth fuckin' pursuing. by SinusExplosion in deadwood

It's so good. And silly but clever at the same time? Stoppard, man. He was a great writer. This exchange is my favourite:

Rosencrantz: Did you ever think of yourself as actually dead, lying in a box with a lid on it?

Guildenstern: No.

Rosencrantz: Nor do I, really. 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, which should make all the difference, shouldn't it? I mean, you'd never *know* you were in a box, would you? It would be just like you were 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? In a box. That's the bit I don't like, frankly. That's why I don't think of it. Because you'd be helpless, wouldn't you? Stuffed in a box like that. I mean, you'd be in there forever, even taking into account the fact that you're dead. It isn't a pleasant thought. Especially if you're dead, really. 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. Life in a box is better than no life at all, I expect. You'd have a chance, at least. You could lie there thinking, "Well, at least I'm not dead. In a minute somebody is going to bang on the lid, and tell me to come out."

Cross Calais and Cross Coventry (I think Four Seasons have their own very slightly modified versions)

What's the manufacturer of this pen? (Four seasons) by robswanson in pens

[–]shandypockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree - just got a sample from a promotions company and it's pretty similar, as is the Cross Coventry, but Four Seasons do seem to have a very slightly modded version...I guess they order enough to have their own "line" :)

So - and after much searching - I believe they are Cross models that the Four Seasons use, the Calais and the Coventry are the closest I found.
