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.
