"Estragon takes Vladimir's hat. Vladimir adjusts Lucky's hat on his head. Estragon puts on Vladimir's hat in place of his own which he hands to Vladimir. Vladimir takes Estragon's hat."
Music after each "Irish Scene" (segment)? Too many.
Music as pauses? Music comes from the gravestone (circus); everytime they touch it... or come near?
Makeup -- happy, Vladimir -- sad? Double Idea -- I as Other, I and Me. Me instead of I... Fellini 8.5 and Amarcord references. Circus tricks : False mustache in his pocket (Chaplin) Socks (with holes) -- takes them off. When? Underwear -- (when he drops his pans). Belt-robe. Money (bills and change) -- Old letters, photos (?) -- does he have a wallet? Scarf -- Arab plate (?) Cross on him? Napkins -- toilet paper?
The games they play with each other: Oh, my foot! E's cry for attention.
No hero, anti-hero... accidental hero. A mortal? A soul.
"Everyman" tradition
Job?
"Little Man"

ESTRAGON All my life I've compared myself to him.
VLADIMIR But where he lived it was warm, it was dry!
ESTRAGON Yes. And they crucified quick. Silence.
ESTRAGON: You're sure it was this evening?
VLADIMIR: What?
ESTRAGON: That we were to wait.
VLADIMIR: He said Saturday. (Pause.) I think.
ESTRAGON: You think.
VLADIMIR: I must have made a note of it. (He fumbles in his pockets, bursting with miscellaneous rubbish.)
ESTRAGON: (very insidious). But what Saturday? And is it Saturday? Is it not rather Sunday? (Pause.) Or Monday? (Pause.) Or Friday?* "miscellaneous rubbish" -- what kind? list: notes from Vladidmir, electric bolb, red nose, funny glasses...
prop list: (doc) -- his prop (walking stick? Chaplin) + many neckties in his pockets, dark glasses, zorro mask (?) ...
