Transcript

00:00The Nobel Prize for Literature is hereby awarded to Samuel Beckett.

00:07Look at this stuff.

00:14You know this is going to be a journey through your shame.

00:19Isn't everything?

00:23Whose forgiveness do you need the most?

00:25We shall begin with mother.

00:28Did you read my story?

00:30What a waste.

00:32I'm going to Paris and I hope never to return.

00:36I'm ill with regret.

00:38You mean Suzanne?

00:40Hello, Sam.

00:42You might name your scars after her.

00:45I might name my joys as well.

00:48I will never be so happy again.

00:50Because I knew the life that was to come.

00:53Mr. Joyce, my name is Samuel Beckett.

00:56I wanted to make your acquaintance.

00:58The important thing is not what we write, but how we write.

01:03We must write dangerously, Beckett.

01:07Gestapo.

01:08Go.

01:12Even in that horrible place, they couldn't turn off the stars.

01:19Mr. Beckett?

01:21I'm Barbara Bray from the drama department.

01:25It was very nice to meet you.

01:27Don't be absurd.

01:30It has redefined modern literature.

01:34It is a masterpiece.

01:36There will always be a call for titillation.

01:41You used to tell me when you were going to her,

01:44now you're just good.

01:47You must have a great impression of yourself,

01:50that you can take the blame for 32 years and count.

02:01You and I, Sam, we are not made for victory.

02:04We won't survive it.

02:05There was joy.

02:09But then, for you, you said,

02:12dance first, think later.

02:17You couldn't wait to get through the pleasure to the pain.
