Waiting for godot, Samuel Beckett - excerpt of the first act -
VLADIMIR:
You must be happy too, deep down, if you only knew it.
ESTRAGON:
Happy about what?
VLADIMIR:
To be back with me again.
ESTRAGON:
Would you say so?
VLADIMIR:
Say you are, even if it's not true.
ESTRAGON:
What am I to say?
VLADIMIR:
Say, I am happy.
ESTRAGON:
I am happy.
VLADIMIR:
So am I.
ESTRAGON:
So am I.
VLADIMIR:
We are happy.
ESTRAGON:
We are happy. (Silence.) What do we do now, now that
we are happy?
VLADIMIR:
Wait for Godot. (Estragon groans. Silence.)

I really love the absurd theatre.
In fact I have an original copy from the publisher Les Editions de Minuit but I've never read it. I only skimmed the Chinese version.
