"Salut." "Salut." "You aren't from around here, are you, stranger?" "No, I'm not Italian." "I'm French." "François?" "Français?" "Passe moi du feu, s'il vous plaît." "You speak French!" " Naturellement!" "I speak all languages, porque yo soy el Mariachi, he who sings." "He who sings la vida and sings la muerte." "So, have you traveled the world?" "Yes, my friend, I have traveled all round your world and I've seen all kinds of stuff." "Beautiful and good, bad and ugly, jailbirds, holy-mother-of-god and pimp whores." "I've seen junkies and jokers, bandits and Freemasons, saints, navigators and poets." "I've seen queers, lesbians and workers, good people, peasants and soldiers..." "and soldiers." "And I'll stop here, 'cos the list could go on and on." "And is this what you sing about?" "About this, all about this, because it is called love." "Oh yes, love..." "I'd forgotten about that." "Tu quieres que yo canteria?" "Si tu quieres yo canteria." "Si, Yo quieres." "Muy bien, yo canteria portigo." "My life is in hurry, my road is narrow, my house is a cellar, my life is in the workshop, work knocks me out and I don't make a living, to buy a t-shirt I sold my Lambretta." "But when I get my pay I spend it on ice creams." "Ice creams are good, but they cost millions." "Ice creams are good, but they cost millions." "Ice creams are good, but they cost millions." "Working depresses me and keeps me on tenterhooks." "Ouch!" "But if I go out to dinner, I get a cherry flavoured ice cream." "Ice cream is my comfort..." "Adelante Bernardo, but with juditio..." "Thanks... ice creams... that cost millions..." "that are too good!" "Ice creams are good, but they cost millions." "Very good Bernardo... very good." "Has it already gone?" "No, I don't think so." "Stop!" "Wait!" "Stop!" "Do you know the story of the two thieves?" "No." "Would you like me to tell you it?" "No." "But listen to me, my friend, it will help us kill time." "There were two thieves and they were crucified along with the Saviour..." "With whom?" "With what?" "The Saviour." "Two thieves." "They say one was saved and the other damned." "Saved from what?" "From hell." "I don't understand." "How can you not understand?" " I don't understand." "Simple, isn't it?" "Never mind." "Okay, I'll try again." "Do you know the story of the two thieves?" "No." "Would you like me to tell you it?" " No." "But listen to me, my friend, it will help us kill time." "There were two thieves and they were crucified along with the Saviour..." "With whom?" "With what?" "Okay, I'll try again." "Do you know the story of the two thieves?" "No." "Would you like me to tell you it?" " No." "But listen to me, my friend, it will help us kill time." "There were two thieves and they were crucified along with the Saviour..." "With whom?" "With what?" " The Saviour." "Two thieves." "They say that one was saved and the other damned." "Saved from what?" " From hell." "Selon toi c'est Godot qui lenvoie?" "I don't understand." "Do you think it's Godot that sends it?" "It must be him." "Then we'll need to go to him." "We must wait for him here." "Godot is behind the mountain, behind the mountain!" "This nightmare..." "has completely ruined my life." "360 degrees." "It has filled me with fear, resentment, hatred and anger." "I'm permeated by these feelings." "I'm full of superstitions and neuroses." "I suffer from heart attacks, panic attacks, anxiety, schizophrenia." "Fits of hysteria, suicidal depressions." "They have changed my brain, which I kept as a bucket on the sink." "Since you brainwashed me, you brainwashed me, it has taken away all courage to love you, to face you." "To talk to you and love you." "Brain model AB something, AB normal, abnormal..." "NEVER-NEVER-LAND" "I'm hungry!" "I'm hungry!" "I'm hungry!" "I told you that I'm hungry!" "I told you that I'm hungry!" "But Eve, how come you're hungry?" "We've never eaten in our lives, we were in Paradise!" "How come you're hungry?" "I'm hungry!" "I'm hungry!" "I'm hungry!" "I told you that I'm hungry!" "I told you that I'm hungry!" "But Eve, how come you're hungry?" "We've never eaten in our lives, we were in Paradise!" "How come you're hungry?" "I'm hungry!" "I'm hungry!" "I'm hungry!" "I told you that I'm hungry!" "I told you that I'm hungry!" "But Eve, how come you're you hungry?" "We've never eaten in our lives." "We were in Paradise!" "How come you're hungry?" "I don't know and I don't care." "All I know is that I'm hungry!" "Come on love, leave him alone." "Can't you see he's a poor wretch?" "You are indeed right." "I'm hungry too." "What a piece of shit!" "I'm cold!" "I'm cold!" "I'm cold!" "I told you that I'm cold!" "But Eve, how come you're cold?" "We've never been cold." "We were in Paradise!" "How come you're cold?" "I don't know and I don't care." "I only know that I'm cold." "Come on, leave him alone." "I already told you he's just a poor wretch." "You are indeed right." "I'm cold too." "Well go and hunt some animals then, you piece of shit!" "But I've never hunted!" "So, who gives a damn!" "Go on!" "Go, I said!" "Move it!" "Can't you see how angry she is?" "But I..." " What?" "But I..." " What?" "But I..." "I'm just a DJ!" "Well then man, if you're a DJ... make me dance!" "It would be certainly nice to find a nice nugget here." "True." "Do you think a pussy hair pulls more than an oxen pair?" "The nugget." "The nugget." "The nugget." "The nugget." "The nugget..." "Look, I've found a stripey sock!" "Really?" "That's interesting." "Let me see!" "It's nice." "I wonder where the other is." "Yeah." "Who knows?" "Found anything?" "No, not yet..." "But they say that luck comes to those who are patient." "Are you patient?" "No." "What was that?" "I don't know." "Good morning cow-boys." "What are you looking for?" "Who are you?" "Where have you come from?" " Me?" "I'm a cow-boy." "I've been away for some time, but I can't tell you where I've come from." "Don't you remember?" "That's absurd!" "Let him be. it's his own business where he's come from." "Oh no!" "I want to know!" "It's my business." "He could be a plainclothes policeman!" "Do you get that?" "I swear that you can rest assured." "I could be everything and nothing, but not a policeman." "I could be everything and nothing, but not a policeman." "I could be everything and nothing, but not a policeman." "Bravo!" " Bravo!" "I say "Bravo"!" "That was the answer you had to give us!" "But you took your time!" "What answer was that?" "I could be everything and nothing, but not a policeman." "We'd been expecting you for a while." "What news do you bring us, 06?" "Zero... six." "Zero..." "I am." "I am a zero." "A nullity, zero." "I am..." "I am a zero, a nullity, zero." "I am..." "I am a zero." "Nullity." "They told us that you were good stuff, 06, but we never thought you could go that far!" ""Zero six..." "You're a zero"..." "Nice wordplay!" "Congratulations!" "But what good thing brings you here?" "Come to the car." "I have to drive you away." "What?" "Are you deaf or what?" "Come on!" "I have to take you in the car, let's go." "I didn't understand, but that's OK." "Godot... is behind that mountain." "Well then, let's go." "In his simplicity..." "In his simplicity." "purity and harmony..." "Purity and harmony." "and... his... incessant, not even for a second..." " Listen to that!" "service." " Incessant service." "disinterested." " Disinterested." "He's a cool guy!" "He's someone who understood many things." "I've been waiting for him so long, but he hasn't arrived yet." "he is magnificent... he is magnificent." "He is a natural act..." "A natural act." "a divine act, pure, simple, harmonious..." "He asks himself whether it is divine." "Perhaps divine?" "He questions himself, you see?" "He is getting to it." "Have you ever been to India?" " No." "And to jail?" " Yes." "A few times." "That's where you plunged into reading, isn't it?" "Yes." "Fuck, I can't think straight, I can't concentrate," "I prefer looking at the pictures..." "or hearing other people's stories." "What did you do for a living before I met you?" "I was a singer in a punk-rock group." "Really?" "What was its name?" " "Stinchi di Santo"..." "And what did you sing?" "Violence!" "Songs beyond the confines of the sector niche." "And what are they?" "Sexyual pawa in the original steyt!" "Attala!" "And are they still on sale?" " Dey sell oorayt!" "There's only one shop in Italy that sells 'em!" "What a bummer!" "Yeah... it's a real bummer." "Nothing to be done." "I'm starting to think so too." "What do you offer to God every day?" "What do I offer to God every day?" " Yes." "I'll tell you." "I make a circle," "I take everything that God gives me and I throw it up into the air." "Everything that falls inside the circle belongs to God, and what falls outside is mine." "I do that on even days." "On odd days, I do the opposite." "And what you do?" "I don't do any of these things." "I make a circle, then I throw it all into the air, and I say:" "God, take whatever you want!" "Then everything that falls back to earth is mine..." "Nothing to be done." "I'm starting to think so too." "I can't remember almost anything." "Everything seems to have changed." "Where are we?" "I don't know." "Anyway, you won't remember." "You were ill." "But how long was I in a coma?" "Three months and a few days." "And how do you know that?" "You told me." "Strange, I can't remember." "What about him?" "When did he arrive?" "Soon after, I don't know exactly when." "But how many of us are there?" "Not many, only a few tribes." "Follow me!" " Who are you?" "Doesn't matter..." "I am what I am!" " Are you a man?" "Do not be fooled by my appearance." "So you're not a man?" " Adam..." "I am not a man." "So, who are you then?" "I am allowed to tell you what I am not... not what I am." "But how do you know my name?" "You are renowned, famous." "Everybody knows your name and the name of your woman, the bitch!" "In fact, I am here to help you." "Are you hungry?" "Yes, I'm very hungry." "Sadly, there isn't much to eat..." "here it is all pain and suffering." "Learn therefore, control your hunger." "Otherwise it will kill you." "How?" "How?" "Kneel!" "Kneel!" "You have sinned!" "Shame on you!" "Shame on you!" "So far, have you led many people here?" "Not as many as I would have liked to." "I think this is not the problem." "Why did they come here?" "Why?" "Probably happiness..." "Yes, yes, but..." "precisely which happiness?" "People do not like to talk about the most intimate things, Adam." "And in any case all this does not concern either you or me." "In any case, it went well for them... because in all my life I have never seen a happy person." "Nor have I, but you haven't been here long." "When they go out of that room I bring them back again." "Then we never see each other again." "Adam, desires are not fulfilled immediately." "Yes, but you Master... didn't you wish to take advantage of that room?" "Do not open certain doors." "It's best for you." "No one believes anymore." "Not even those two." "Who can I take there?" "Oh Lord, and the worst thing is that it's of no use to anyone." "Zero eight Lancelot here." "Zero eight Lancelot here." "Look who it is!" "It's zero eight Lancelot!" "Tadaa!" "Surprise!" " No!" "Zero six you're a zero!" "Did you see?" " Yeah." "Your old partner has come to see you." " What are doing there?" "Shouldn't you be at work?" "But I am at work..." "I'm working... don't worry." "I'm just having a break and I wanted to say hello to you!" "You did well to look for the frequency of old Lancelot!" "But where have you sent them?" "I've sent them on a nice trip." "The usual trip." " Yeah." "A bit of freedom does everyone good!" "It's the same old story." "So what are you up to?" " I get bored." "I kill time." "It's hard times zero eight..." "zero eight do the bassoon!" "You said it zero six!" "It was better in Brunei!" "In Brunei, Brunei, to the garden I would take you." "Come on, tell me something good!" "Has somebody arrived?" "No, no one." "Only those two." "Fuck!" "What hard times, man!" "Business is damn bad!" "They'll soon send us home too!" "You said it!" "I said it and I'll repeat it!" "I said it and I'll repeat it!" "OK, bye." "I'm gonna get those two." "I said it and I'll repeat it!" " Over and out, Lancelot." "I said it and I'll repeat it!" "I said it and I'll repeat it!" "I said it and I'll repeat it!" "I said it and I'll repeat it!" "Go to sleep, little chicken legs..." "Where's Adam?" "Must be founding out what the world it's like..." " And what does he say about us two?" " What should he say?" " Don't you ever talk about it?" " There's not much to say." "It doesn't matter." "What?" " Nothing." "I missed you." "I missed you too." "Eve!" "Eve!" "Where the hell is that slut, my woman!" "?" "Eve?" "Are you there?" "Eve?" "Where is she?" "Eve?" "She's not here either." "Eve!" "Surrender!" "Astlan blam, filimini ni butan, gali gall stuk, malin... lin..." "lingut!" "Who's Mr Freak?" " It's me." "What do you want?" "It's Mr. Godot..." "Why are you so late?" "Have you got a message from Mr. Godot?" "Yessir." "Well then tell us!" "Why are you so late?" "It's not my fault sir!" "So it must be my fault, is it?" "I was afraid, sir." "Afraid of what?" "Of us?" "Answer me!" "Those men earlier on scared him." "How long have you been here?" " For a long time, sir." "Were you afraid of the whip?" " Yessir." "And of the shouting?" " Yessir." "And of those men over there?" " Yessir." "So you know them?" " Yessir." "You aren't from here, are you?" " No sir." "These are all lies!" "Tell us the truth!" "Tell us the truth!" "Leave him alone!" "What's wrong with you?" "Let him be." "What's wrong?" "I'm unhappy." "Why's that?" "I've forgotten." "These are tricks of memory." "Well then?" "Mr. Godot told me to tell you that he won't be coming today, but he'll be here tomorrow." " Is that all?" "But first you have to go to the oracle." "Young people today!" " They aren't like they used to be!" "Stop!" "I'm fed up!" "Stop!" "I'm fed up." "Stop!" "I'm fed up!" "Stop!" "I'm fed up." "Move it!" "I told you I'm fed up!" "I won't move!" "Come on, get moving, don't be an arsehole." "No, I won't move." "Then you're a real arsehole." "Do you want to make me angry?" "You're gonna get angry?" "And then what'll happen?" "It'll happen that I get angry." " So what?" "Jajà, please!" "Don't force me to go over there, to you." "Okay?" "I told you I won't move!" "Do you understand?" "Fuck it!" "Don't make me angry!" "I told you not to make me angry!" "Fuck you!" "You and your God!" "What's God got to do with it?" "Why are you bringing God into it?" "Why are you bringing God into it?" " Leave me!" "Leave me!" "Leave me!" "We have to go!" " Leave me!" "Leave me!" "Leave me!" "Leave me alone!" "Leave me alone please!" "I don't want to go to your God." "I want to be alone." "Alone!" "What's that?" "It must be for you." "You're the one who's tired." "I tired." "I sleepy." "I hungry." "I tired." "I sleepy." "I hungry." "I tired." "I sleepy." "I hungry." "Don't think about it." "Think about something else." "Do what I do." "Is that why you're always looking inside your shoes?" "That's why I do it." " And what do you think about?" "I think that there's no way out." "Do you think the oracle will help us?" "I don't doubt it." "I'll tell you something." "I'd been with my wife for 10 years and we really wanted a son." "But I had heroin in my blood." "When he was born," "I had to choose between my family and dope." "I was unable to make that choice." "Then one day when I overdosed and that was real anguish." "Five months in hospital, I had to learn all over again." "The use of my hands, of my legs and, above all speaking." "And then the fall and perdition started." "Divorce from my wife... and the fall into alcohol, until lost my mind." "I also drank with my son and, when my wife found out, she asked the judge to take the boy from me." "Because of that I could only see my son in welfare centers, for a brief hour." "It was very hard to deal with." "I cried every day." "Goodnight." "Goodnight." "Maybe you wanted me to be more evil, more determined and more aggressive, but today I have found the right tone!" "I am good!" "I am good!" "I am good!" "Who's that?" "The oracle?" "Yes, it's him. it seems that he loves to sing." "He's a singing oracle." "There's a rumour that he stays on a column all the time, with only karaoke for company." "Yes, it's just so." "He only has karaoke." "Goodnight." "'Till tomorrow... but today I have found the right tone!" "I am good!" "I am good!" "Maybe you wanted me to be more evil, more determined and more aggressive, but today I have found the right tone!" "I am good!" "I am good!" "I am good!" "Oh my goodness!" "The oracle really likes to sing!" "Yes." "He really is a singing oracle." "I wonder whether he'll give us a concert." "Rather than a concert, that one will really make us face the music!" "Stop it, let's go!" "Sometimes I try to revolt, then I occasionally feel very tired, but today I have found the right tone." "I am good." "I am good." "Today I feel really well." "Perhaps my sufferings are over." "Always suffering is not worth it." "I am good." "I am good." "Maybe you wanted me to be more evil, more determined and more aggressive, but today I have found the right tone." "I am good." "I am good..." "Sit down, please." "Father, bless two miserable creatures like us!" "But haven't I seen you before, or am I mistaken?" "I don't know, sir." "But you know me, you know who I am?" "No sir." "Didn't you come here, yesterday?" "No sir." "So this is your first visit?" " Yes sir." "Is this all?" "Yes sir." "So you work for Mr. Godot..." " Yes sir." "And what do you do for him?" " I watch over his goats, sir." "And does he you beat you?" " No." "He doesn't beat me, sir." "And who does he beat?" " My brother." "Ah!" "You have a brother?" " Yes sir." "I have a brother." "And what does he do?" " He watches over the sheep, sir." "But why doesn't he hit you?" " I don't know, sir." "He must be fond of you." " I don't know, sir." "But does he feed you well?" "Yes, quite well, sir." "But don't you feel unhappy?" "Did you hear me?" " Yes sir." "And so?" " I don't know, sir." "You don't know if you feel unhappy?" " No, sir." "Me neither." "It's a real disaster if even he's like that." "We'll never find our man or perhaps it's not even worth it." "You're not helping things at all." "What a shitty situation!" "It just had to happen to me..." "Can't you at least ask him where we have to go?" "Sir, can you tell us where we have to go to find him?" "First of all go to the Great Mother, the mother of all mothers..." "The Great Mother will show you the way!" "And where is she?" "First straight ahead, then both right and left." "What does that mean?" "You can't understand, you're a foreigner." "I'm good!" "I'm good!" "I am good!" "Sometimes, yes, I try to revolt, then I occasionally feel very tired, but today..." "I have found the right tone." "I am good." "I am good." "Do you want to know how I ended up here?" "Yes, yes." "I'm interested." "I'm interested." "I was tired of waiting for the worms to eat me alive." "It's difficult to live all one's life in terror, you know?" "When you're twenty, they tell you: "That's it. it's over."" ""You have no tomorrow kid!" A pat on the back and a "Good luck!"" "And you start to run." "Faster than your fear." "You understand how?" "You sharpen your wits." "You become faster, you feel a lot more." "Everything is much more intense." "This fucking life is more beautiful." "You understand how it works?" "Only because you are going away." "It all becomes wonderful." "The glances of women are fantastic." "There is nothing more for you." "But I'm tired." "I don't want to be like this anymore." "I've been alone and afraid my whole life long." "I'm alone and I'm afraid." "That's all." "That's all." "Fuck it!" "Fuck all that!" "Yes." "Fuck everything!" "Yes, that's the way it is." "Born without an instruction leaflet, humans stagger, stumble, clumsy-ate, preclude, include, then exclude." "No different from them I agitate, amalgamate," "I illuminate myself with intensity in the trough of immensity, with a only one goal: to become holy, to become holy, to become holy... isolated from the world, immersed in the depths..." "Pretty one, pretty one!" "Little Pretty one!" "Pretty one!" "Tell me your name!" "What's your name?" "What do you think he's called?" "Paul, Joseph... mongrel!" "What do you care?" "I know that he's a mongrel." "But I meant his name." "He's a mongrel and he'll always be a mongrel!" "Come here, I'll tell you something, come on." "There was a man in a bar, who was eating at a table outdoors." "A mongrel dog came past, looking for some food." "The man chased him off shouting:" ""Piss off, mongrel dog!"" "The mongrel dog goes away." "Then along comes a man, also a mongrel, who wants some money." "The you know what man says to him:" ""Piss off, mongrel man!"" "And the mongrel man goes away." "Wow, what a story!" "Mongrel dog, mongrel man!" "Really nice, how do you know it?" " I know it." "I know it." "Leave me alone!" "Leave me alone I said!" "I'm fed up!" "What are you saying?" "I don't even know who you are!" "Leave me alone!" "Leave me alone!" "What's your name, anyway?" "Me, Freak, and you?" " My name's Jajà." "But what are you doing here?" "I'm waiting for Godot." "Oh, yes, it's true, I'd forgotten." "These are tricks of memory." "Where are you going?" "To the Great Mother." "Come on, get on." "I'll give you a lift." "Do you know her?" " I know her." "I know her." "Look at that beautiful beach!" "There's even a table." "Yeah." "Let's go and sit there." " Good idea." "Oh, how wonderful!" "That's just what we needed!" "A nice game of poker?" "OK... but the Great Mother?" "Aren't we gonna look for her?" "The Great Mother will wait." "Nobody will die for a minute more or less." "Yes, well said!" "Let's ask each other some questions, go on!" "Help me!" " I'm trying to." "When one tries, one feels." " It's true." "And thus one cannot find." " You said it." "One cannot think either." "One thinks all the same." "But no, it's impossible." " OK, let's contradict each other." "Yes, well said!" "Let's ask each other some questions!" "Help me!" "I'm trying to." "When one tries, one feels." "It's true." "And thus one cannot find." "You said it." "One cannot think either." "One thinks all the same." "But no, it's impossible." "OK, let's contradict each other." "Yes, well said!" "Let's ask each other some questions!" "Help me!" "I'm trying to." "When one tries, one feels." "It's true." "And thus one cannot find." "You said it." "One cannot think either." "One thinks all the same." "But no, it's impossible." "OK, let's contradict each other." "Godot does not exist!" " He exists." "He doesn't exist!" " He exists!" "No!" " Yes!" "No!" " Yes!" "Yes!" " No!" "How boring!" "You said it!" "Let's be silent!" "Godot does not exist!" "He exists." "He doesn't exist!" " He exists!" "No!" " Yes!" "No!" " Yes!" "Yes!" " No!" "How boring!" "You said it!" "Let's be silent!" "You're making me angry." "OK..." "Why not come and have a nice swim?" "Everyone has a nice swim in my waters." "If you come, I'll do everything you want." "How beautiful she is!" "Yes, she is really beautiful." "Let's go too." "I agree, but I can't swim." "Why does that matter?" "I can't either, but I'll dive in." "Alright then, let's go!" "Wait for us, we're coming!" " Come on!" "I'm waiting for you." "SOME TIME LATER" "give you the definition of the word... of the word... loser... it is the story of my life." "I could say it's a piece of my life, but... it is my entire life because it's been the same for 20 years and it will be the same story every day for the next 20 years..." " You are wise, my boy!" "Look, a lunatic believed that it was worth telling this story of a life, of a life ruined, broken..." "A life..." "For no one knows what misfortune of fate, sin, or fault of fate it cannot attain harmony." "This is what destroyed me and what has already killed me, because I am already dead:" "dead and full of anger, resentment, sadness, pain, anguish," "anger, hatred and a form of very premature ejaculation," "that just doesn't manage... so premature, that it doesn't ever manage even to penetrate the vagina, because I've already come." "In fact" "I'm still searching for the first time." "It is my obsession, my nightmare." "I'm afraid it'll never happen." "Freak!" "Wake up. it's time now." "Jajà!" "Wake up. it's time now." "We've arrived." "Guys, I have to say goodbye to you." "Good luck." "Has it already gone?" " No, I don't think so." "I think I've already seen you." "Do I know you?" "I don't think so, but you never know." "It's true." "You never know." "Do you know the story of the two thieves?" " No." "Would you like me to tell you it?" " No." "But it will help us kill time." "There were two thieves who were crucified along with the Saviour..." "With whom?" "With what?" "The Saviour." "They say that one was damned and the other saved." "Saved from what?" "I don't understand." "I don't understand." "How can you not understand?" "Never mind. it seems I have been hearing the same things for centuries." ""All of old." "Nothing else ever." "Ever tried." "Ever failed." "No matter..." "Try again." "Fail again." "Fail better."" " Samuel Beckett"
