[1295] (angrily). [1296] To hell with the universe! [1297] (Pause.) [1298] Think of
something.

[1299] What?

[1300] An idea, have an idea. [1301] (Pause. [1302] Angrily.) [1303] A bright idea!

[1304] Ah, good. [1305] (He starts o^pacing to and fro, his eyes fixed on
the ground, his hands behind his back. [1306] He halts.) [1307] The pain^s
in my legs! It's unbelievable.^! [1308] Soon I won't be able to
think any more.

[1309] You won't be able to leave me. [1310] (Clov resumes his pacing.)
[1311] What are you doing?

[1312] Ideating ^{Having an idea}. [1313] (He pav^ces.) [1314] Ah!

[1316] What a mind ^brain! [1317] (Pause.) [1318] Well?

[1319] Wait. [1320] (He meditates. [1321] Not very convinced.) [1322] Yes... [1323] (Pause.
[1324] More convinced.) [1325] Yes! [1326] (He raises his head.à⁾ [1327] I have it. [1328] I
set the alarm-clock.

[1330] This is perhaps not one of my good ^bright days, but frankm^ly -

[1331] You whistle me. [1332] I don't come. [1333] The alarm goes off. [1334] I'm
gone. [1335] It doesn't go off. [1336] I'm dead.

[1338] Is it working? [1339] (Pause. [1340] Impatiently.) [1341] The alarm-clock, is
it working?

[1342] Why wouldn't it be working,

[1343] Because it's been working too much.

[1344] But it's hardly been working at all.

[1345] (angrily). [1346] Then because it's been working too little!

[1347] I'll go and see. [1348] (Exit Clov. [1350] Brief ring of alarm off.
[1351] Enter c^Clovw with alarm-clock. [1352] He holds its against Hamm's
ear and releases alarm. [1353] They listen to it ringing to the
end. [1354] Pause.) [1355] Worthy of the last judgement! ^{The last trump!} [1356] Did you hear? ^it?

[1357] Vaguely.

[1358] The end is extraordinary. ^terrific.

[1359] I prefer the middle. [1360] (Pause.) [1361] Is it not time for my sedative ^painkiller?

[1362] No. [1363] (He goes to the door, turns.) [1364] L^I'll leave you.

[1365] It's time for my story. [1366] Do youw want to listen to my story?

[1367] No.

[1368] Ask my father if hew wants to listen to my story.
