Pygmalion

---

So long, ducks.

See you in Piccadilly.

So long, 'Liza.

Be good.

Why?

- They found a tarantula in

one last week. - A What-a-tula?

A tarantula.

It's like a spider.

It's got six legs,

and it stings you With its tail.

What does it do

With its mouth?

Eats the bananas, man.

- Looks like rain.

- Yeah. A bit stormy, ain't it?

What can Freddy be doing

all this time?

He really ought to have

got us a taxi by now.

Taxi!

Taxi!

Taxi!

You won't get a taxi now, what with

the rain and the theater traffic.

Oh. Oh, here he is.

There's not a taxi to be had

for love or money.

- You haven't tried at all.

- You really are helpless, Freddy.

Go again, and don't come back

until you have found one.

I shall simply get

soaked for nothing.

What about us,

you selfish pig?

Oh, very well.

I'll go, I'll go.

Sorry.

Now then, Freddy,

look where you're goin', do ya?

Oh, all my violets

trod in the mud.

What did you

do that for?

As if I haven't got

enough to do.

How do you know that

my son's name is Freddy?

Oh, he's your son,

is he?

Well, if you'd done your duty

by him as a mother should,

he'd knoWbetter than to spoil a poor

girl's floWers and run aWay Without payin'.

- Well, uh, there's a shill-

sixpence for you. - Oh.

Thank ya kindly, lady.

- NoW Will you tell me hoW you knoW the young man's name?

- I don't.

But I heard you call him Freddy.

Now don't you try and deceive me.

Who's tryin'

to deceive you?

I calls him Freddy or Charlie,

same as you might yourself...

if you Was talkin' to a stranger

and Wished to be pleasant.

Come along, Mother.

Sixpence thrown away.

Oh, cheer up, Captain.

If it's raining worse,

it's a sign it's nearly over.

Come on, buy a flower

off a poor girl.

- Sorry, I haven't any change.

- Garn, Captain. I can change half a crown.

Now don't be troublesome.

There's a good girl.

Here's a tuppence,

if that's any use to you.

- Taxi!

- Oh, thank you, Captain.

Be careful.

Give him a flower for it.

There's a bloke over there takin' down

every blessed word you're saying.

But I ain't done nothin' wrong

by speakin' to the gentleman.

- I'm a good girl, I am, so help me.

- What's she hollerin' about?

But I never spoke to him except

to ask him to buy a flower off me.

- What's the good of fussin'?

- What's the row?

What'd she do?

There's a "tec" takin' her down.

Him over there.

What you wanna take down

what I say for?

You ust show me

what you wrote.

How do I know if you

took me down right?

Why, what's that?

That ain't

proper writin'.

I can't read that.

"Cheer up, Captain,

and buy a flower off a poor girl. "

It's because

I called him "Captain. "

Oh, but I meant

no harm.

Oh, sir,

don't let him charge me.

You don't know

what it means to me.

They'll take away my character and drive me

on the streets for speakin' to a gentleman.

Charge?

I make no charge.

Really, sir, you needn't start

protecting me from molestation.

Anyone can see

the girl meant no harm.

- Just mind your own business!

- Takin' down people's words!

What harm

did she do?

Who's hurting you, you silly girl?

What do you take me for?

It's all right.

He ain't a copper.

He's a gentleman.

Look at his boots!

Gentleman? Ha!

He's a busybody, that's what he is.

- How are all your people down in Selsey?

- What?

And how do you come to be so far east?

You were born in Lisson Grove.

Oh. And what harm is in

my leaving Lisson Grove?

It wasn't fit for

a pig to live in,

and I had to pay

four and six a week.

Live where you like, but for
