“A pause in Pinter is as important as a line. They are all there for a reason. Three dots is a hesitation, a pause is a fairly mundane crisis and a silence is some sort of crisis. Beckett started it and Harold took it over to express that which is inexpressible in a very original and particular way, and made them something which is his.”
Joey: I’ve been the whole hog plenty of times. Sometimes… you can be happy… and not go the whole hog. Now and again… you can be happy… without going any hog.

Nice work indeed; it’s all in the pauses.
“The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.” Mark Twain

“the spiral in the middle of nothing” – ultimately like us – humans spiralling in space
beings spiralling in the void
