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.

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

According to IMDB there's a filmed version starring Barry McGovern (the man in question in GoT.) [link]
I'm not sure how it would translate to film...

Maybe it made you better at reading them?
The only play I remember enjoying reading is Henry IV pt I and I've never seen it performed. But somehow the rest (Our Town, Othello (GOD I HATE WATCHING THAT), Henry V) I've all seen.
