[0956] More! [0957] There!

[0958] (He sits down, [0959] LUCKY goes back to his place)
[0960] Back where I was [place = supralinear] DONE IT! [0961] (he fills his pipe)

Segment 2

POZZO

[0963] Don't let me drive you away. [0964] Wait a little longer,
you'll never regret it.

ESTRAGON

[0965] (Scenting charity) [0966] We're in no hurry.

POZZO

[0967] (Having lit his pipe) [0968] The second is never so
sweet. (he takes the pipe out of his mouth,
contemplates it) as the first, I mean.[0969] (he puts
the pipe back in his mouth)[0970] But it's sweet just
the same.

VLADIMIR

[0971] I'm going.

Segment 3

POZZO
[0972] He can no longer endure my presence. [0973] I am perhaps
not particularly anthropoid [place = supralinear] HUMAN, but who cares? [0974] (to
Vladimir) [0975] Think twice, before you do anything
rash. [0976] Suppose you go now, while it is still day,
for there is no denying it is still day.

[0979] What happens in that case - (he takes the pipe from
his mouth, examines it) - I'm out - (he relights

Segment 6

VLADIMIR

[0981] How did you know?

POZZO

[0982] He speaks to me again! [0983] If this continues we'll
soon be old friends.

ESTRAGON

[0984] Why doesn't he put down his bags?

POZZO

[0985] I too would be happy to meet him. [0986] The more people
I meet the happier I get. [0987] From the meanest
creature one departs wiser, richer, more conscious
