    Chips too…HEY UNIVERSE, THANKS!

  2. Jeff Goldstein says:

    I wouldn’d mind a nice corned beef sandwich right now, Godot.  If you’re listening.

  3. SeanH says:

    Would the play just end there, Jeff or would the audience have to sit and wait for Pozzo and Lucky to just cross the stage without stopping?

  4. Jeff Goldstein says:

    What you see is the whole play, Sean.  Anything else risks being too heavy handed.

  5. SeanH says:

    That makes sense.  Heavy-handed optimism would be a bit silly.

  6. Beck says:

    How about if Tom Stoppard were an existential optimist?

    Rosencrantz: Hey Hamlet, you’re aware that your uncle’s a real rat bastard, right?

    Hamlet: Yeah, Denmark’s rotten. Let’s go party in London.

    Guildenstern: It’s Miller time!

  7. Eric J says:

    Krapp’s last tape? “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.”

  8. me says:

    Jeff G. is to Samuel Becket

    as

    Tom Stoppard is to Shakespeare

    as

  9. Michael says:

    You’ve gone too far.  Godot showing up with beer is just plain heresy.

    Vladimir: “Yeah, but it’s Iron City.”

  11. McGehee says:

    “You ever watch light theatre?”

  12. Yogimus says:

    One of the two thieves was saved… A reasonable percentage, ay, Gogo?

  13. Chrees says:

    Well, it’s better than Beckett as Hugh Hefner. “And look at the rack on his girlfriend!”

  14. Syd says:

    I believe that those of us who are the producers and purveyors of television — or video games or newspapers or any mass media — I believe that we are the servants of this nation – Fred Rogers
