Text

Start: WINNIE: Go back into your hole now, Willie, you’ve exposed yourself enough. [Pause] Do as I say, Willie, don’t lie sprawling here in this hellish sun, go back into your hole.

[... … …]

End: WINNIE: [...] not to say anything I would not wish you to hear or liable to cause you pain, not to be just babbling away on trust as it is were not knowing and something gnawing at me. [Pause for breath.] Doubt.
