ESTRAGON

[0324] (Gesture towards

[0325] This one is
enough for you?
[0326] (Silence.)
[0327] It's not nice of you, Didi.

tell them to you?

VLADIMIR

[0329] Let them remain private.
[0330] You know I can't bear that.

[0331] (coldly) [0332] There are times
when I wonder if it wouldn't

[0336] Wouldn't it, Didi, be really
too bad.
[0337] (Pause.) [0338] When you
think of the beauty of the
way.
[0339] (Pause.) [0340] And the
goodness of the wayfarers.
[0341] (Pause. [0342] Wheedling.) [0343] Wouldn't
it, Didi?

[0350] (Pause.) [0351] You know
the story of the Englishman
in the brothel?
