Gilligan (as Hamlet): "Hide any place... but, don't go near the water!"
After hearing the approach of her father and brother, Ophelia claims she must be not be found with Hamlet and must hide. She questions Hamlet where she should conceal herself. Hamlet's reply, in this condensed retelling, is to hide anywhere but not to go near the water. This is a clever in gag since Ophelia meets her demise in Hamlet by drowning. Edit
