Pozzo eventually tells them why Lucky hold the bags the entire time. When they ask Lucky if he wants them, he does not reply, so Estragon is given the bones. Pozzo tells him that they technically belong to Lucky. Pozzo will not tell them, so Estragon proceeds to ask if he can have the chicken bones that Pozzo has been throwing away. They ask why he never puts his bags down. Lucky stands in a stooped posture holding the bags after each command has been completed and appears to be falling asleep.Įstragon and Vladimir go to inspect Lucky who intrigues them. Pozzo then eats the chicken and throws away the bones. Pozzo has Lucky put down the stool and open the basket of food which contains chicken. Lucky is completely silent and obeys like a machine. Pozzo spends several minutes ordering Lucky around. Estragon immediately confuses Pozzo with Godot which gets Pozzo upset. Pozzo carries a whip which he uses to control Lucky. Lucky has a rope tied around his neck and is carrying a stool, a basket, a bag and a greatcoat. Vladimir soon gives Estragon a carrot to eat. He then fears that he hears something, but it turns out to be imaginary noises. Vladimir indicates that they got rid of them. In the end they decide it is safer to wait until Godot arrives.Įstragon asks Vladimir whether they still have rights. They are afraid that if one of them dies the other might be left alone. They both like the idea but cannot decide who should go first. Later it is revealed that they do not even know what they originally asked Godot for.Įstragon gets bored of waiting and suggests that they pass the time by hanging themselves from the tree. Neither of the two bums knows when Godot will appear, or even if they are at the right place. Vladimir continues with his narrative about the two thieves in order to pass the time.Įstragon wants to leave but Vladimir forces him to stay because they are both waiting for Godot to arrive. Estragon points to his tattered clothes and says he was. Estragon gives a short description of the maps of the Holy Land at which point Vladimir tells him he should have been a poet. He asks Estragon if he knows the Gospels. Vladimir mentions the two thieves who were crucified next to Christ. He then looks inside it to see if there is anything there while Vladimir does the same with his hat. With supreme effort Estragon succeeds in pulling off his boot. Vladimir enters and greets Estragon, who informs him that he has spent the night in a ditch where he was beaten. Estragon is trying to pull off his boot, but without success. The setting is in the evening on a country road with a single tree present.
