Estragon

[0208] Well, what of it?

Vladimir

[0209] Then the two of them

Estragon

[0210] And why [not]?

that one of the two was
saved.

Segment 7

Estragon

[0212] Well? [0213] They don't agree

Segment 8

Vladimir

[0214] But all four were there.

thief being saved? [0216] Why
believe him rather than
the others?

X
Segment 9

Estragon

[0217] Who believes him?

version they know.
