More Ron




“Reviews.

When they’re bad they hurt.

When they’re good they’re not good enough.”


-Richard Burton



VLADIMIR:

Moron!

ESTRAGON:

That's the idea, let's abuse each other.

They turn, move apart, turn again and face each other.

VLADIMIR:

Moron!

ESTRAGON:

Vermin!

VLADIMIR:

Abortion!

ESTRAGON:

Morpion!

VLADIMIR:

Sewer-rat!

ESTRAGON:

Curate!

VLADIMIR:

Cretin!

ESTRAGON:

(with finality). Crritic!

VLADIMIR:

Oh!

He wilts, vanquished, and turns away.


-Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot.




“I’ve always felt about critics the way fire hydrants feel about dogs.”


-Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle
