Segment 1

ESTRAGON

[2048] Pale for weariness.

VLADIMIR

[2048|001] Eh?

ESTRAGON

[2048|002] Of climbing heaven
and gazing on the likes
of us.

Segment 2

VLADIMIR

[2049] Your boots, what are
you doing with your
boots?

Segment 3

ESTRAGON

[2049|001] (turning to look at the
boots). [2050] I'm leaving
them there. [2051] (Pause.)

Segment 4

[2052] Another will come,
just as... as... as me,
but with smaller feet,
and they'll make him
happy.

Segment 5

VLADIMIR

[2053] But you can't go barefoot.

ESTRAGON

[2054] Christ did.

Segment 6

VLADIMIR

[2055] Christ! [2056] What has
Christ to do with it?
[2057] You're not going to
compare yourself to
Christ!

Segment 7

ESTRAGON

[2058] All my life I've compared
myself to him.

VLADIMIR

[2059] But where he lived it
was warm, [2060] it was dry!

ESTRAGON

[2061] Yes. [2062] And they crucified
quick.
