Segment 1

[3482|001] Silence.

Vlai [place = overwritten] dimir

[3488] What exactly should he do?

Pozzo

[3489] Well to begin with he should pull on the rope, as hard
as he likes so 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.

Vladimir

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

Estragon

[3495] And if he defends himself?

Pozzo

[3496] No no, he never defends himself.

Vladimir

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

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

[3499] He goes towards Lucky.

Vladimir

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

Estragon

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

[3504] Then let him have it.

[3505] With sudden fury Estragon starts kicking Lucky, hurling

moves away, limping and groaning. [3507] Lucky stirs.

Estragon

[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

Pozzo

[3512] What's gone wrong now?

Vladimir

[3513] My friend has hurt himself.

Pozzo

[3514] And Lucky?

Vladimir

[3515] So it is he?

Pozzo

[3516] What?

Vladimir

[3517] It is Lucky?
