Segment 1

POZZO

[1476] for hours. [1477] Now... [1478] (he
shudders
).
[1479] So much the
worse for me.
[1480] Well, would
you like him to think
something for us?

Segment 2

ESTRAGON

[1481] I'd rather he'd dance,
it'd be more fun.

POZZO

[1482] Not necessarily.

X
Segment 3

ESTRAGON

[1483] Wouldn't it, Didi, be
more fun?

VLADIMIR

[1484] I'd like well to hear
him think.

X
Segment 4

ESTRAGON

[1485] Perhaps he could think
first and dance afterwards,

[1486] if it isn't too much to ask
him.

Segment 5

VLADIMIR

[1487] (to Pozzo) [1488] Would that be
possible?

POZZO

[1489] By all means, nothing
simpler.
[1490] It's the natural
order.

Segment 6

[1491] He laughs briefly.

VLADIMIR

[1492] Then let him dance.

[1493] Silence

POZZO

[1495] Do you hear, hog?

ESTRAGON

[1496] He never refuses?

X
Segment 7

POZZO

[1497] He refused once. [1498] (Silence.)
[1499] Dance, misery!

[1500] Lucky puts down bag and
basket, advances toward
front, turns to Pozzo.

[1502] Lucky dances. [1503] He stops.
