[2415] (as before). [2416] I say to myself - sometimes, Clov, you must
learn to suffer better than that if you want them to
weary of punishing you - one day. [2417] I say to mu^yself - some-
times, Clov, you must be there better than that, if you
want them to let you go - one day.

[2418] But I feel too old, and
too far, to be able to form new habits. [2419] Good, it'll never
end, I'll never go. [2420] (Pause.) [2421] Then suddenly, one day, the
things ends, changes, I don't understand, the thing ^it dies,
or it's me, I don't understand, that either. [2422] I ask the
words that remain - sleep, waking, morning, evening.

[2423] They
have nothing to say. [2424] (Pay^use.) [2425] I open the door of the cell and
go. [2426] I am so bowed I only see my feet, if I open my eyes,
and between my legs a little trail of black dust. [2427] I say
to myself that the earth is extinguished, thought I never
saw it lit. [2428] (Pause.) [2429] It's easy going. [2430] (Pause.) [2431] When I
fall I'll weep for happiness.

[2432] Pause. [2433] He goes towards door.

[2440] Clov halts, without turning.

[2445] It's we who are obliged to each other. [2446] (Pause. [2447] Clov goes
to door.) [2448] One thing more. [2449] (Clov halts.) [2450] One last favour.
[2451] '⁽Exit Clov.) [2452] Cover me with the sheet. [2453] (Long pause.) [2454] No?
[2455] Good. [2456] (Pause.) [2457] Me to play. [2460] (Pause. [2461] Wearily.) [2462] Old endgame
lost of old, play and lose and have done with losing.
[2463] (Pause. [2464] More animated.) [2465] Let me see. [2466] (Pause.) [2467] Ah yes!

[2468] (He tries to moves the chair, using the gaff as n^before.
[2469] Enter Clov, dressed for the road? [2470] Panama hat, tweed coat,
raincoat over his arm, umbrella, bag. [2471] He halts by the
door and stands there, impassive and motionless, his eyes
fixed on Hamm, till the end. [2472] Hamm gives up.) [2473] Good. [2474] (Pause.)

[2475] Discard. [2476] (H^He throws away the gaff, makes to throw away
the dog, thinks better of it.) [2477] Piano piano. ^{Take it easy. Easy does it.} [2478] (Pause.) [2479] And
now? [2480] (Pause.) [2481] Take off hat. [2482] (He raises his toque.) [2483] Peace
to our...arses. [2484] (Pause.) [2485] And put on again. [2486] (He puts on his
toque.) [2487] Deuce. [2488] (Pause. [2489] He takes off his glasses.) [2490] Wiê^pe.

[2491] (He takes out his handkerchief and, without unfolding it,
wipes his glasses.) [2492] And put on again. [2493] (He puts on his
glasses, puts back in his handkerchief in his pocket.)
