![]() Vladimir thinks for a moment that he heard shouts and that perhaps it was Godot.Gogo and Didi figure this is the normal procedure for things. Estragon inquires further about Godot, and Vladimir explains that they asked him for a prayer, a "vague supplication." According to the men’s conversation, Godot said he had to consult pretty much everyone in his life and couldn’t make any promises.After some debate, the men decide not to hang themselves (or do anything else, for that matter), since it’s safer to do nothing. ![]() Estragon realizes a central problem with hanging themselves: Vladimir, being the heavier of the two, might break the bough instead of his neck.Vladimir counters that it would only give them an erection. After Vladimir has reentered, Estragon suggests that they hang themselves.He is so scared of the discussion, in fact, that he momentarily runs off the stage. Apparently he’s not lonely enough, because he flips out and refuses to listen when Estragon tries to discuss his nightmare.After Estragon goes to sleep, Vladimir gets lonely and wakes him up for company.(Whereas, when Gogo is absent, everything is just peachy? We doubt it.) He comments that nothing is certain when Estragon is around. But he then has to wonder, again thanks to Estragon’s questioning, whether Godot came yesterday, whether he’s sure it was today he was to wait, and whether he can be guaranteed of Godot’s arriving at any point at all.He then wonders (thanks to Estragon’s doubts) whether or not they are in the right place.Vladimir informs Gogo of the reason they cannot leave: they are waiting for Godot.He wonders why, if only one of four gospels mentions this detail, it is so commonly believed as accurate. Vladimir asks Estragon whether he’s read the Bible before and narrates the two thieves: one was saved, and one was condemned to hell.He laughs, but then stops after feeling pain (again in the groin area).Vladimir wonders if things would be different if he and Gogo repented. ![]() Vladimir takes off his hat and looks in it, tapping to see if anything will fall out. ![]()
