HAMM: [whistles]
-
You pollute the air!
-
Get me ready, I’m going to bed.
CLOV: I’ve just got you up.
-
HAMM: And what of it?
CLOV: I can’t be getting you up
-
and putting you to bed every
five minutes, I have things to do.
-
HAMM: Did you ever see my eyes?
CLOV: No.
-
HAMM: Did you never have the
curiosity, while I was sleeping,
-
to take off my glasses and look at my eyes?
CLOV: Pulling back the lids?
-
No.
HAMM: One of these days I’ll show them to you.
-
It seems they’ve gone all white.
-
What time is it?
CLOV: The same as usual.
-
HAMM: Have you looked?
CLOV: Yes.
-
HAMM: Well?
CLOV: Zero.
-
HAMM: It’d need to rain.
CLOV: It won’t rain.
-
HAMM: Apart from that, how do you feel?
CLOV: I don’t complain.
-
HAMM: You feel normal?
CLOV: I tell you I don’t complain!
-
HAMM: I feel a little queer.
-
Clov?
CLOV: Yes.
-
HAMM: Have you not had enough?
CLOV: Yes!
-
Of what?
-
HAMM: Of this... this... thing.
CLOV: I always had.
-
Not you?
-
HAMM: Then there’s no reason for it to change.
CLOV: It may end.
-
All life long the same questions,
the same answers.
-
HAMM: Get me ready.
-
Go and get the sheet.
-
Clov!
CLOV: Yes.
-
HAMM: I’ll give you nothing more to eat.
CLOV: Then we’ll die.
-
HAMM: I’ll give you just enough
to keep you from dying.
-
You’ll be hungry all the time.
CLOV: Then we won’t die.
-
I’ll go and get the sheet.
HAMM: No!
-
I’ll give you one biscuit per day.
-
One and a half.
-
Why do you stay with me?
CLOV: Why do you keep me?
-
HAMM: There’s no one else.
CLOV: There’s nowhere else.
-
HAMM: You’re leaving me all the same.
CLOV: I’m trying.
-
HAMM: You don’t love me.
CLOV: No.
-
HAMM: You loved me once.
CLOV: Once!
-
HAMM: I’ve made you
suffer too much.
-
Haven’t I?
CLOV: It’s not that.
-
HAMM: I haven’t made
you suffer too much?
-
CLOV: Yes!
HAMM: Ah, you gave me a fright!
-
Forgive me.
-
I said, Forgive me.
CLOV: I heard you.
-
Have you bled?
HAMM: Less.
-
Is it not time for my pain-killer?
CLOV: No.
-
HAMM: How are your eyes?
CLOV: Bad.
-
HAMM: How are your legs?
CLOV: Bad.
-
HAMM: But you can move.
CLOV: Yes.
-
HAMM: Then move!
-
[footsteps]
-
Where are you?
CLOV: There.
-
HAMM: Come back!
-
[footsteps]
-
Where are you?
CLOV: Here.
-
HAMM: Why don’t you kill me?
-
CLOV: I don’t know the
combination of the cupboard.
