[0985] I too would be happy to meet him. [0986] The more people I
meet the happier I get. [0987] From the meanest creature one
departs wiser, richer, more conscious of one's blessings.
[0988] Even you...(he looks at them ostentatiously in turn to
make it clear they are both meant)...even you, who knows,
will have added to my store.

[0989] Why d^oesn't he put down his bags?

[0990] But that would surprise me.

[0991] You're being asked a question.

[0992] (delighted). [0993] A question! [0994] Who? [0995] What? [0997] A moment ago you
were calling me Sir, in fear and trembling. [0998] Now you're
asking me questions. [0999] No good will come of this!

[1000] (to Estragon). [1001] I think he's listening.

[1002] (circling about Lucky). [1003] What?

[1004] You can ask him now. [1005] He's on the alert.

[1006] Ask him what?

[1007] Why he doesn't put down his bags.

[1008] I wonder.

[1009] Ask him, can't you?

[1010] (who has followed these exchanges with anxious
attention, fearing lest the question get lost). [1011] You
want to know why he doesn't put down his bags, as you
call them.

[1012] That's it.

[1013] (to Estragon). [1014] You are sure you agree with that?

[1016] He's puffing like a ^grampus.

[1017] The answer is this. [1018] (To Estragon.) [1019] But stay still, I beg
of you, you're making me nervous!

[1020] Come here.

[1021] What is it?

[1022] He's about to speak.
