nagg and nell

February 11, 2013

“Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that… Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world. And we laugh, we laugh, with a will, in the beginning. But it's always the same thing. Yes, it's like the funny story we have heard too often, we still find it funny, but we don't laugh any more.” 


I've got that a.m. feeling again.
And it sounds just like this.


"HAMM: We're not beginning to... to... mean something?
CLOV: Mean something! You and I, mean something!
(Brief laugh.) Ah that's a good one!"

- Samuel Beckett
Endgame


Nagg and Nell were always my favourite part of Endgame.
They had no legs and lived in dustbins.
And it made the utmost of sense.
