Robin Williams and Steve Martin in Waiting for Godot

(Steven Martin)

are you sure that

(Robin William)
do you see that?

(Steven Martin)
So far…

(Robin Williams)
No carry on.

(Audience Laughter)

(Steve Martin)
I interrupted you.

(Robin Williams)
On the contrary.

(Steve Martin)
Ceremonious ape.

(Robin Williams)
Punk choice pig.

(Steve Martin)
Finish your phrase I tell you.

(Robin Williams)
Finish your own.

(Steve Martin)
Moron.

(Robin Williams)
That’s the idea! Let’s abuse each other!

(Audience Laughter)

(Steve Martin)
Moron.

(Robin Williams)
Vermin.

(Steve Martin)
Abortion.

(Robin Williams)
Scorpion.

(Steve Martin)
Sewer rat.

(Robin Williams)
Cuent.

(Steve Martin)
Cretin.

(Robin Williams)
Critic.

(Audience laughter)

(Steve Martin)
Oh…

(Steve Martin)
When I read the play

when Mike first suggested that we might do this

and I went back and read the play,

I realized, I mean I saw it as a comedy

. I mean I thought there were great, smart, high, and low laughs, in the play

and they must be served almost first

because the language of the play takes care of itself

The structure of the play takes care of itself,

but the comedy won’t take care of itself unless it’s delivered.

(Robin Williams)
Well what do we do now?

(Steve Martin)
While waiting.

(Robin Williams)
While waiting.

(Steve Martin)
We could do our exercise.

(Robin Williams)
Our movements!

(Steve Martin)
Our elevation.

(Audience laughter)

(Steven Martin)
Our relaxation

(both)
oh oh oh ah

(Steven Martin)
Our elongation

(Steven Martin)
Our relaxation

(both)
oh oh oh ah

(Steven Martin)
we on the top

(Robin Williams)
We calm down

(Steven Martin)
Here we go

(Audience laughter)

(Robin Williams)
Ugh, that's enough of that I'm tired

(Steven Martin)
We're not in form,

what about a little deep breathing

(Robin Williams)
I'm tired of breathing

(Steven Martin)
you're right,

lets just do the Tree for the balance

The Tree

Your turn

(Robin Williams)
Dear God, feed me

(Steven Martin)
You must close your eyes

(Robin Williams)
God have pity on me

(Steven Martin)
And me

(Robin Williams)
On me, on me, pity on me

(Bill Irwin)
of course I see the play

having done the role Lucky,
I see the play from

the lucky point of view.

The speech, I'm sure is somewhere,
the whole thing is somewhere in my memory

We'll just see how much I can remember,
"Given the existence as I heard forth

in the public works of
Puncher and Whatman,

of a personal God,
cwock, cwock cwock

with a white beard
cwock, cwock cwock

outside time, without extension,
who from the heights of divine apatheia,

devine athambia, devine aphasia
loves us dearly, with some exceptions

for reasons unknown,
but time will tell,

and sufferers like the divine Miranda,
with those who for reasons unknown

but time will tell, are plunged in
torment, plunged in fire

whose fire flames if that continues,
and who can doubt it will.

fire the firmament that is to say,
blast hell to heaven,

so blue still and calm,
so calm with a calm which even

though intermittent
is better than nothing

but not so fast
and considering.
