Reflection of Action

One of the men Pozzo has acquainted himself with asks for the chicken bones that my master has picked clean. I am puzzled by this request, and look to Pozzo for his command. He nods, and I give the man names Estragon the chicken bones. Pozzo snickers and tells the men that "Lucky would be better off killed than abandoned". This causes a stir in my emotions. How could Pozzo say that after sixty years? Tears well up in my eyes, and as one spills down the side of my face, Estragon approaches me to come and try to wipe it away. I am afraid and I lash out, kicking his legs. Pozzo does not give me room to escape. I must stay and receive my punishment.
