He offers to make Lucky dance, recite, sing, or think for their entertainment. He makes a speech about night and twilight, then asks if there's anything he can do for Estragon and Vladimir, since they have been nice to him. Pozzo collects himself and looks for his pipe, which he has misplaced.
Pozzo then begins to cry, saying that he "can't bear it." Vladimir scolds Lucky for making his master cry. Estragon approaches Lucky and Lucky kicks him violently in the shin. Lucky begins to cry and Pozzo gives Estragon a handkerchief to bring to him. Pozzo says he plans to sell Lucky at a fair. He says that Lucky is trying to impress Pozzo so he won't get rid of him, because Pozzo has plenty of slaves. Pozzo says that Lucky has the right to put them down and be comfortable, so he must be carrying them because he wants to. Estragon asks why Lucky doesn't put down his bags. Pozzo tells him to stay, though, in case Godot should show up. Vladimir is outraged at Pozzo's horrible treatment of Lucky and wants to leave. Pozzo eats some chicken and Estragon begs him for the leftover bones. He jerks the rope that is around Lucky's neck and calls him "pig." Lucky brings him his stool and some food. Estragon asks if this is Godot, but then Pozzo introduces himself. Pozzo drives Lucky forward with a whip like a pack animal, with a rope tied around his neck. The two are interrupted by a loud scream off-stage. Estragon asks if they are "tied" to Godot and Vladimir says that they are. Finally, he finds a carrot and gives it to Estragon. All he can find in his pockets, though, are turnips. Estragon is hungry, and Vladimir offers him a carrot. Estragon asks what Vladimir asked Godot for and Vladimir says that he made a vague sort of prayer.
The two disagree over who should hang himself first, though, and Vladimir concludes that they should just wait for Godot. While waiting, Estragon suggests they hang themselves on the tree. Vladimir wonders what he and Estragon should do, and Estragon says they should continue to wait. Estragon starts to describe his dream, but Vladimir angrily stops him and tells him to keep his nightmares to himself. Estragon falls asleep and Vladimir immediately wakes him, saying he was lonely without him. Estragon and Vladimir debate whether they are in the right place and whether it is the right day for Godot to come. Estragon wants to leave, but Vladimir reminds him that they have to wait here for Godot. One of the gospels says that one of the thieves was saved, but Vladimir wonders if this is true. Vladimir tells Estragon about the two thieves crucified along with Jesus. Estragon says all he remembers are some colored maps of the holy land. Vladimir asks if Estragon has ever read the Bible. Vladimir and Estragon wait at the side of a road, near a tree, agreeing that there is "nothing to be done." Estragon struggles to take off one of his boots.
