[0009] (Giving up again) [0010] Nothing to be done.

[0011] (Advancing with short, stiff strides, legs wide
apart) [0012] I'm beginning to come round to that opinion.
[0014] All my life I've tried to put it from me, saying,
Vladimir, be reasonable, you haven't yet tried
everything. [0015] And I resumed the struggle. [0016] (he
broods, musing on the struggle. [0017] To ESTRAGON) [0018] So
there you are. ^{[place = inline] Yes.}

[0019] Am I?

[0020] I'm glad to see you back. [0021] I thought you were gone
for ever.

[0022] Me too.

[0022|001] Together again at last! [0023] We'll have to celebrate
this. But how? [0024] (he reflects) [0025] Get up till I
embrace you.

[0027] (Irritably) [0028] Not now, not now.

[0030] (Hurt, coldly) [0031] May one enquire where his Highness
spent the night?

[0032] In a ditch.

[0033] (Admiringly) [0034] A ditch! [0035] Where?

[0036] (Without gesture) [0037] Over there.

[0038] And they didn't beat you?

[0038|001] ^{[place = supralinear] BEAT ME?} [0039] Certainly they beat me.

[0041] The same lot as usual?

[0042] The same? [0043] I don't know.

[0045] When I think of it...all these years...but for me...
where would you be... [0046] (decisively) [0047] You'd be nothing
more than a little heap of bones at the present
minute, no doubt about it. ^{[place = margin left] XAR}
