00:14 Mr. Joyce, my name is Samuel Beckett. I have a great respect for your work

00:36 Whose forgiveness do you need the most, Suzanne?
00:41 You might name your scars after her. I might name my joys as well. You couldn't wait to get through the pleasure to the pain

01:25 It was very nice to meet you. Don't be absurd
01:28 You and I, Sam, were not made for victory. We won't survive it. There was joy
