Waiting for Godot Page #2

---

He said Saturday.

I think.

You think.

I must have made a note of it.

But what Saturday? And is it Saturday?

Is it not rather Sunday? Or Monday?

Or Friday?

It's not possible!

Or Thursday?

What'll we do?

If he came yesterday and we weren't here

you may be sure he won't come again today.

But you say we were here yesterday.

I may be mistaken.

Let's stop talking for a minute,

do you mind?

All right.

Gogo!...

Gogo!...

GOGO!

I was asleep! Why will you never

let me sleep?

I felt lonely.

I had a dream.

Don't tell me!

- I dreamt that?

- DON TELL ME!

This one is enough for you?

It's not nice of you, Didi.

Who am I to tell my private nightmares

to if I can't tell them to you?

Let them remain private.

You know I can't bear that.

There are times when I wonder

if it wouldn't be better for us to part.

You wouldn't go far.

That would be too bad.

Wouldn't it, Didi, be really too bad?

When you think of the beauty

of the way.

And the goodness of the wayfarers.

Wouldn't it, Didi?

Calm yourself.

Calm...

Calm...

The English say cawm.

You know the story of the Englishman

in the brothel?

- Yes.

- Tell it to me.

Ah stop it!

An Englishman having drunk a little more

than usual proceeds to a brothel.

The bawd asks him if he wants a fair one,

a dark one or a red-haired one. Go on.

STOP IT!

You wanted to speak to me?

You had something to say to me?

Didi...

I've nothing to say to you.

You're angry?

Forgive me.

Come, Didi.

Give me your hand.

Embrace me!

Don't be stubborn!

You stink of garlic!

It's for the kidneys.

What do we do now?

Wait.

Yes, but while waiting.

What about hanging ourselves?

It'd give us an erection.

An erection!

With all that follows.

Where it falls mandrakes grow.

That's why they shriek when you

pull them up. Did you not know that?

Let's hang ourselves immediately!

From a bough?

I wouldn't trust it.

We can always try.

- Go ahead.

- No, after you.

No no, you first.

- Why me?

- You're lighter than I am.

Just so!

I don't understand.

Use your intelligence, can't you?

I remain in the dark.

This is how it is. The bough...

the bough...

Use your head, can't you?

You're my only hope.

Gogo lightbough not breakGogo dead.

Didi heavybough breakDidi alone.

Where as-

I hadn't thought of that.

If it hangs you it'll hang anything.

But am I heavier than you?

I don't know. So you tell me.

There's an even chance.

Or nearly.

Well? What do we do?

Don't let's do anything. It's safer.

Let's wait and see what he says.

- Who?

- Godot

Ah! Yes.

Let's wait till we know exactly

how we stand.

On the other hand it might be better

to strike the iron before it freezes.
