Segment 1

VLADIMIR

[3032] Yes.

ESTRAGON

[3033] Ask him.

VLADIMIR

[3034] Perhaps we should help him first.

ESTRAGON

[3035] To do what?

Segment 2

VLADIMIR

[3036] To get up.

ESTRAGON

[3037] He can't get up?

VLADIMIR

[3038] He wants to get up.

ESTRAGON

[3039] Then let him get up.

Segment 3

VLADIMIR

[3040] He can't.

ESTRAGON

[3041] Why not?

VLADIMIR

[3042] I don't know.

[3043] (POZZO writhes, groans, beats the ground
with his fists)

Segment 4

ESTRAGON

[3044] We should ask him for the bone first. [3045] Then if he
refuses we'll leave him there.

VLADIMIR

[3046] You mean we have him at our mercy?

ESTRAGON

[3047] Yes.

VLADIMIR

[3048] And that we should subordinate our good offices
to certain conditions?

X
Segment 5

ESTRAGON

[3049] Yes.

VLADIMIR

[3050] That seems intelligent all right. [3051] But there's one
thing I'm afraid of.

POZZO

[3051|001] Help!

ESTRAGON

[3052] What's that? [place = overwritten] ?

X
Segment 6

VLADIMIR

[3053] That Lucky might get going all of a sudden. [3054] Then
we'd be banjaxed.

ESTRAGON

[3055] Lucky?

VLADIMIR

[3056] He's the one that went for you yesterday.

ESTRAGON

[3057] I tell you there was ten of them.

VLADIMIR

[3058] No, before that, the one that kicked you.
