Peter Leroy and Samuel Beckett on Inaction

    “Raskol,” I asked, “what’s past the bridge?”
    “Mmmm?” he asked. He had been studying the dark-haired girl. “What’s past the bridge? I don’t know.”
    “Let’s find out,” I said.
    “Sure,” he said. Some time passed before he added, “Let’s go.”
    Neither of us moved.

ESTRAGON: [(Looking down)] Well, shall we go?
VLADIMIR: [(Looking up)] Yes, let's go.
([Long silence]
They do not move.
