A country road. A tree. Two tramps, sitting on a low mound.
Estragon; Let's go!
Vladimir: We can't.
Estragon: Why not?
Vladimir: We're waiting for Godot.
Estragon: Excuse me? Did you say we're waiting for Cotto?
Vladimir: Godot! Godot!
Estragon: Because if we're waiting for Cotto, you've sent the wrong order. We wanted a Godfather, remember?
Vladimir: Don't worry, trust me, there won't be any Cotto, not today, not ever.
Estragon: How can you be sure?
Vladimir: We ordered a Godfather, and Godot will bring it.
Estragon: We ordered one yesterday. He didn't come yesterday.
Vladimir: True. Perhaps he went to pick it up. And it was covered in Cotto. So he declined to pay for it. And as a consequence of that, he had nothing to bring us, and so he didn't come.
Estragon: Well reasoned! That will be what happened. But....
Vladimir: What now?
Estragon: The same thing might happen today. And I'm hungry.
Vladimir: You're twice as hungry.
Estragon: Yes, I'm twice as hungry. I could even eat Cotto.
Vladimir: Are you sure? Do you know what it is?
Estragon: No, but I don't like the sound of it. What is it? No, don't tell me.
Vladimir: I won't.
Estragon: You don't know.
Vladimir: Nobody knows. But some people like it.
Estragon: Can we get a message to Godot? Tell him we're hungry?
Vladimir: No, we must wait till he comes.
Estragon: When is he coming? He didn't come yesterday. I'm tired of this. Shall we go?
Vladimir: Yes, let's go.
They do not move.
