[3445] Exactly!

[3446] The two of you slipped. [3446|001] (Pause.) [3446|002] And fell.

[3447] Go and see is he hurt.

[3448] We can't leave you.

[3449] You needn't both go.

[3450] (to Estragon) [3451] You go.

[3451|001] After what he did to me! [3451|002] Never!

[3452] Yes yes, let your friend go, [3453] he stinks so. [3453|001] (Silence.) [3479] What is he waiting for?

[3481] What are you waiting for?

[3482] I'm waiting for Godot.

[3488] What exactly should he do?

[3489] Well to begin with he shd. pull on the rope, as hard as he likes as long as he doesn't strangle him. [3490] He usually responds to that. [3491] If not he should give him a taste of his boot, in the face and the privates as far as possible.

[3492] (to Estragon) [3493] You see, you've nothing to be afraid of. [3494] It's even an opportunity to revenge yourself.

[3495] And if he defends himself himself?

[3496] No no, he never defends himself.

[3497] I'll come flying to the rescue.

[3498] Don't take your eyes off me.

[3500] Make sure he's alive before you start. [3501] No point in exerting yourself if he's dead.

[3502] (bending over Lucky.) [3503] He's breathing.

[3504] Then let him have it!

[3509] Oh the brute!

[3510] He sits down on the mound and tries to take off his boot. [3511] But he soon desists and disposes himself for sleep, his arms on his knees and his head on his arms.

[3512] What's gone wrong now?

[3513] My friend has hurt himself.

[3514] And Lucky?

[3515] So it is he?

[3516] What?

[3517] It is Lucky?

[3518] I don't understand.

[3519] And you are Pozzo?

[3520] Certainly I am Pozzo.

[3521] The same as yesterday?

[3522] Yesterday?

[3523] We met yesterday. [3524] (Silence.) [3525] Do you not remember?

[3526] I don't remember having met anyone yesterday. [3527] But to-morrow I won't remember having met anyone to-day. [3528] So don't count on me to enlighten you.

[3528|001] But -

[3529] Enough! Up pig!

[3530] You were bringing him to the fair to sell him. [3531] You spoke to us. [3532] He danced. [3533] He thought. [3534] You had your sight.

[3535] As you please. [3536] Let me go! [3537] (Vladimir moves away.) [3538] Up!

[3542] Where do you go from here?

[3542|001] On. [3545] (Lucky, laden down, takes his place before Pozzo) [3546] Whip! [3547] (Lucky puts everything down, looks for whip, finds it, puts it into Pozzo's hand, takes up everything again.) [3548] Rope!

[3550] What is there in the bag?

[3551] Sand. [3552] (He jerks the rope.) [3553] On!

[3574] Don't go yet.

[3575] I'm going.

[3576] What do you do when you fall far from help?

[3577] We wait till we can get up. [3578] Then we go on. [3578|001] On!

[3579] Before you go tell him to sing.

[3582] To sing?

[3583] Yes. [3584] Or to think. [3585] Or to recite.

[3586] But he is dumb.

[3587] Dumb!

[3588] Dumb. [3589] He can't even groan.

[3590] Dumb! [3591] Since when?

[3592] (suddenly furious). [3593] Have you done tormenting me with your accursed time! [3594] It's abominable! [3595] When! [3596] When! [3597] One day, is that not enough for you, xxx one day he went dumb, one day I went blind, one day we'll go deaf, one day we were born, one day we shall die, the same day, the same second, is that not enough for you? [3598] (calmer.) [3599] They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more. [3600] (He jerks the rope.) [3601] On!
