ESTRAGON |
[2922] Take it! |
|
VLADIMIR |
[2923] Come to my arms! |
|
ESTRAGON |
[2924] Your arms? |
|
VLADIMIR |
[2926] My breast! |
|
ESTRAGON |
[2927] |
[2928] (They embrace. [2928|001] They separate. [2929] Silence)
|
VLADIMIR |
[2930] How time flies when one has fun! |
[2931] (Silence)
|
ESTRAGON |
[2932] What do we do now? |
|
VLADIMIR |
[2933] While waiting. |
|
ESTRAGON |
[2934] While waiting. |
[2935] (Silence)
|
VLADIMIR |
[2936] We could do our exercises. |
|
ESTRAGON |
[2937] Our movements. |
|
VLADIMIR |
[2938] Our elevations. |
|
ESTRAGON |
[2939] Our relaxations. |
|
VLADIMIR |
[2940] Our elongations. |
|
ESTRAGON |
[2941] Our relaxations. |
|
VLADIMIR |
[2942] To warm us up. |
|
ESTRAGON |
[2943] To calm us down. |
|
VLADIMIR |
[2944] Off we go. |
[2945] (VLADIMIR hops from one foot to the other. [2946] ESTRAGON imitates him)
|
ESTRAGON |
|
VLADIMIR |
[2950] (Stopping) [2951] We're not in form. [2952] What about a little deep breathing? |
|
ESTRAGON |
[2953] I'm tired breathing. |
|
VLADIMIR |
[2954] You're right. [2955] (pause) [2956] Let's just do the tree, for our balance. |
[p. 79r]
|
ESTRAGON |
[2957] The tree? |
[2958] (VLADIMIR does the tree, staggering about on one leg)
|
VLADIMIR |
[2961] (ESTRAGON does the tree, staggers)
|
ESTRAGON |
[2962] Do you think God sees me? |
|
VLADIMIR |
[2963] You must close your eyes. |
[2964] (ESTRAGON closes his eyes, staggers worse)
|
ESTRAGON |
[2965] (Stopping, brandishing his fists, at the top of his voice) [2966] God have pity on me! |
|
VLADIMIR |
|
ESTRAGON |
[2969] (As before) [2970] On me! [2971] On me! [2972] Pity! [2973] On me! |
[2974] (Enter POZZO (now blind) and LUCKY. [2976] LUCKY burdened as before. [2977] Rope as before, but much shorter, so that Pozzo may follow more easily. [2978] LUCKY wearing a different hat. [2979] At the sight of Vladimir and Estragon he stops. [2980] POZZO, continuing on his way, bumps into him)
|
VLADIMIR |
[2980|001] Gogo! |
|
POZZO |
[2982] (Clutching on to Lucky who totters) [2983] What is it? [2984] Who is it? |
[2985] (LUCKY falls, drops everything and brings down Pozzo with him. [2986] They remain stretched out motionless among the scattered baggage)
|
ESTRAGON |
[2987] Is it Godot? |
|
VLADIMIR |
[2988] At last! [2989] ( |
|
POZZO |
[2992] Help! |
|
ESTRAGON |
[2993] Is it Godot? |
|
VLADIMIR |
[2994] We were beginning to weaken. [2995] Now we're sure to
see |
|
POZZO |
[2996] Help! |
[p. 80r]
|
ESTRAGON |
[2997] Do you hear him? |
|
VLADIMIR |
[2998] We're no longer alone, waiting for the night, waiting for Godot, waiting for...waiting. [2999] All evening we have struggled, unassisted. [3000] Now it's over. [3001] It's already to-morrow. |
|
POZZO |
[3003] Help! |
|
VLADIMIR |
[3004] Time flows again already. [3005] The sun will set, the moon will rise, and we'll away...from here. |
|
POZZO |
[3008] Pity! |
|
VLADIMIR |
[3009] Poor Pozzo! |
|
ESTRAGON |
[3010] I knew it was him. |
|
VLADIMIR |
[3011] Who? |
|
ESTRAGON |
[3012] Godot. |
|
VLADIMIR |
[3013] But it's not Godot. |
|
ESTRAGON |
[3014] It's not Godot? |
|
VLADIMIR |
[3015] It's not Godot. |
|
ESTRAGON |
[3016] Then who is it? |
|
VLADIMIR |
[3017] It's Pozzo. |
|
POZZO |
|
VLADIMIR |
[3021] He can't get up. |
|
ESTRAGON |
[3022] Let's go. |
|
VLADIMIR |
[3023] We can't. |
|
ESTRAGON |
[3024] Why not? |
|
VLADIMIR |
[3025] We're waiting for Godot. |
|
ESTRAGON |
[3026] Ah! |
|
VLADIMIR |
[3027] Perhaps he has another bone for you. |
|
ESTRAGON |
[3028] Bone? |
|
VLADIMIR |
|
ESTRAGON |
[3031] |
[p. 81r]
|
VLADIMIR |
[3032] Yes. |
|
ESTRAGON |
[3033] Ask him. |
|
VLADIMIR |
[3034] Perhaps we should help him first. |
|
ESTRAGON |
[3035] To do what? |
|
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. |
|
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)
|
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? |
|
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 |
|
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. |
