We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Skimmer!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

God, I love Robson.

Compassionately intolerant

Robson is my favorite! He's awesome at everything.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Waiting for GOT-dot

Much of the dialog in the scene where the dying merchant talks to the Hound and Arya is taken nearly verbatim from Waiting for Godot. Which I haven't seen or read in a while, so I didn't catch it.

But I'm confused by this post--are the lines they're quoting from Godot or GOT?

eta: Forgot to mention that the actor is considered one of the best Godot actors around.

Those are the lines spoken in the episode, which I guess are very much like lines in the play? I haven't read it since high school, I think, so I have no clue.

So neat that they worked that in!

That's awesome. I had no idea.

Fascinating.

I've never read or watched Godot. Is there a movie version that's good (is there more than one?)? I'm not very good at reading plays (or screenplays, which irritates).

Me neither, just pastiches. I would also love a recommendation, it feels like a hole in my cultural knowledge.
