[2122] Next day.
[2123] Same time.
[2124] Same place.

[2125] Estragon's boots front centre, heels together, toes splayed,[2126] Lucky's hat at same place.[2127] The tree has four or five leaves.[2128] Enter Vladimir agitatedly. [2129] He halts and looks long at the tree, [2130] then suddenly begins to move feverishly about the stage. [2131] He halts before the boots, picks one up, examines it, sniffs it, manifests disgust, puts it back carefully. [2132] Comes and goes. [2133] Halts extreme right and gazes into distance off, shading his eyes with his hand. [2134] Comes and goes. [2135] Halts extreme left. As before. [2136] Comes and goes.

[2137] Halts suddenly and begins to sing loudly



VLADIMIR

[2138] A dog came in -

[2139] Having begun too high he stops, clears his throat, resumes.

[2140] A dog came in the kitchen
And stole a crust of bread.

[2141] Then cook up with a ladle
And beat him till he was dead.

[2142] Then all the dogs came running
And dug the dog a tomb -

[2143] He stops, broods, resumes.

[2144] Then all the dogs came running
And dug the dog a tomb
And wrote upon the tombstone
For the eyes of dogs to come:

[2145] A dog came in the kitchen
and stole a crust of bread.

[2146] Then cook up with a ladle
And beat him till he was dead.

[2147] Then all the dogs came running
And dug the dog a tomb -

[2148] He stops, [2149] broods, resumes.
