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!
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

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.

hip deep in pie
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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I saw Waiting for Godot at a University Play competition, the name of which escapes me right now. Anyway, it was a very, very long play. Which really drove home the theme of futility.
I seem to remember that Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart were in or going to be in a production.
