Guilty!
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
God, I love Robson.

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.
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.

Because books.
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.

I've never actually seen it performed. Not that I remember, anyway.
We read SO many plays in high school, most of which I've never seen performed, actually. That seems wrong.
