ESTRAGON: 
They'll think it is my way. 
VLADIMIR: 
And you? 
ESTRAGON: 
I can tell you. 
VLADIMIR: 
You can't tell me? 
ESTRAGON: 
I can tell you. 
VLADIMIR: 
What do you mean? 
ESTRAGON: 
When I was there I was having my same feeling as this . 
VLADIMIR: 
Oh yes, exactly like that. 
ESTRAGON: 
Of course I noticed it, you know. 
VLADIMIR: 
Yes, very well. 
ESTRAGON: 
I see you staring. 
VLADIMIR: 
Forgive me. 
ESTRAGON: 
What? 
VLADIMIR: 
They still think we're in the same town. 
ESTRAGON: 
I hope they don't. 
VLADIMIR: 
It's not really the same town. It's not really the same town, is it? 
ESTRAGON: 
Well, that's up to them. 
VLADIMIR: 
You mean like New York? 
ESTRAGON: 
Yes. 
VLADIMIR: 
No doubt. 
ESTRAGON: 
Do it. 
VLADIMIR: 
Do it? 
ESTRAGON: 
Let's go. 
VLADIMIR: 
What do you mean by that? 
ESTRAGON: 
Well, that would be done. 
VLADIMIR: 
That would be done. 
VLADIMIR: 
We'll have a laugh. 
ESTRAGON: 
What is it? 
VLADIMIR: 
To be hanged. 
VLADIMIR: 
To hang like we are hanging today. 
ESTRAGON: 
Are you joking? 
VLADIMIR: 
We haven't a single piece of value left. 
VLADIMIR: 
How are we to get to it? 
ESTRAGON: 
How? 
VLADIMIR: 
And why don't you tell us? 
VLADIMIR: 
(trying to think of an explanation) We'll ask them. 
ESTRAGON: 
(whining) Shut up! 
VLADIMIR: 
Tell them. 
ESTRAGON: 
They'll think it is my way. 
VLADIMIR: 
And you? 
ESTRAGON: 
I can tell you. 
VLADIMIR: 
You can't tell me? 
ESTRAGON: 
I can tell you. 
VLADIMIR: 
What do you mean? 
ESTRAGON: 
When I was there I was having my same feeling as this . 
VLADIMIR: 
Oh yes, exactly like that. 
ESTRAGON: 
Of course I noticed it, you know. 
VLADIMIR: 
Yes, very well. 
ESTRAGON: 
I see you staring. 
VLADIMIR: 
Forgive me. 
ESTRAGON: 
I just stare. 
VLADIMIR: 
That's it. 
ESTRAGON: 
It's true. 
(he falls into thought, at length) Oh yes, that, the feeling. 
I forget it when I'm there. 
It's nothing. 
It's not something. 
Something that is not like this. 
It doesn't mean anything. 
How did we get to this?
