It would have passed in any case.

Yes, but not so rapidly.

What do we do now?

I don't know.

Let's go.

We can't.

Why not?

We're waiting for Godot.

Ah! Yes.

How they've changed!

Who?

Those two.

That's the idea, let's make

a little conversation.

-Haven't they?

-What?

Changed.

Very likely. They all change.

Only we can't.

Likely! It's certain. Didn't you

see them?

I suppose I did. But I don't

know them.

Yes you do know them.

No I don't know them.

We know them, I tell you.

You forget everything.

Unless they're not the same...

Why didn't they recognize us then?

That means nothing. I too pretended

not to recognize them.

And then nobody ever recognizes us.

Forget it.

What we need? Ow!

Ow!

Unless they're not the same...

Didi! It's the other foot!

Unless they're not the same...

Mister!

Off we go again.

Approach, my child.

Mister Albert...?

Yes.

What do you want?

Approach!

Approach when you're told, can't you?

What is it?

Mr. Godot...

Obviously...

Approach.

Will you approach!

What kept you so late?

You have a message from Mr. Godot?

Yes Sir.

Well, what is it?

What kept you so late?

Let him alone.

You let me alone.

Do you know what time it is?

It's not my fault, Sir.

And whose is it? Mine?

I was afraid, Sir.

Afraid of what?

Of us?

Answer me!

I know what it is, he was afraid of

the others.

How long have you been here?

A good while, Sir.

You were afraid of the whip?

Yes Sir.

The roars?

Yes Sir.

The two big men.

Yes Sir.

Do you know them?

No Sir.

Are you a native of these parts?

Do you belong to these parts?

Yes Sir.

That's all a pack of lies.

Tell us the truth!

But it is the truth, Sir!

Will you let him alone!

What's the matter with you?

What's the matter with you?

I'm unhappy.

Not really! Since when?

I'd forgotten.

Extraordinary the tricks that

memory plays!

Well?

Mr. Godot?

I've seen you before, haven't I?

I don't know, Sir.

You don't know me?

No Sir.

It wasn't you came yesterday?

No Sir.

This is your first time?

Yes Sir.

Words...

words...

Speak.

Mr. Godot told me to tell you

he won't come this evening

Samuel Beckett

Samuel Barclay Beckett (; 13 April 1906 – 22 December 1989) was an Irish avant-garde novelist, playwright, theatre director, poet, and literary translator who lived in Paris for most of his adult life. He wrote in both English and French. Beckett's work offers a bleak, tragicomic outlook on human existence, often coupled with black comedy and gallows humor, and became increasingly minimalist in his later career. He is considered one of the last modernist writers, and one of the key figures in what Martin Esslin called the "Theatre of the Absurd".Beckett was awarded the 1969 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his writing, which—in new forms for the novel and drama—in the destitution of modern man acquires its elevation". He was elected Saoi of Aosdána in 1984. more…
