[1091] You've had enough of him?

[1094] In reality he carries like a pig. [1095] It's not his
job.

[1096] You want to get rid of him?

[1097] He imagines that when I see him indefatigable I'll
regret my decision. [1098] Such is his miserable machina-
tion. [1099] As though I were short of slaves!

[1100] (All three look at Lucky)

[1101] Atlas, son of Jupiter!

[1102] (Silence)

[1104] Well, that's that I think. [1105] Any more questions?
[1106]

[1107] You want to get rid of him?

[1108] Remark that I might have easily have in his shoes
and he in mine. [1109] If chance had not willed other-
wise. [1110] To each one his due.

[1111] You Waagerrim?

[1112] I beg your pardon?

[1113] You want to get rid of him?

[1114] I do. [1115] But instead of driving him away as I might
have done, I mean instead of simply kicking him
out on his , in the goodness of my heart I am
bringing him to the fair, where I hope to get ^{A GOOD
PRICE} for him. [1116] The truth is you can't drive
such creatures away. [1117] The best thing would be to
kill them.

[1119] He's crying!

[1120] Old dogs have more dignity. [1121] (he proffers his
handkerchief to Estragon) [1122] ^COMFORT him, since
you' ^PITY him. [1123] (ESTRAGON hesitates)
[1124] Come on. [1125] (ESTRAGON takes the handkerchief)
[1126] Wipe away his tears, he'll feel less forsaken.
[1128] (ESTRAGON hesitates)

[1129] Here, give it to me, I'll do it.
