the same for teachin' me me own language...
as what you would for French, so
I won't give you more than a shillin'.
- Take it or leave it.
- I, um-
I'll take it.
You know, Pickering,
a shilling to this girl is worth
It's handsome, enormous.
It's the biggest offer I've ever had.
- Sixty pounds? What are you talkin' about?
- Hold your tongue.
- But I ain't got 60 pounds.
- Nobody's going to touch your money.
Someone's going to touch you with a
broomstick if you don't stop snivelling.
Anyone would think
he was my father.
Higgins,
I'm interested.
- What about that boast that you could pass her off as a duchess?
- What about it?
I'd say you're the greatest
teacher alive if you make that good.
I'd bet you all the expenses
of the experiment you can't do it.
- And I'll pay for the lessons.
- Oh, you're real good.
- Come here. Sit down.
- Thank you, Captain.
This is almost
irresistible.
She's so
deliciously low,
so horribly dirty.
Oh! I ain't dirty.
I washed my face and hands
before I come, I did.
I shall make a duchess of this
draggle-tailed guttersnipe.
Oh!
In six months- in three, if she
has a good ear and a quick tongue-
I'll take her anywhere
and pass her off as anything.
We start today, this minute.
Mrs. Pearce, clean her.
Take off all her clothes
and burn them.
Order some new ones. Wrap her up
in brown paper till they come.
You're no gentleman, you ain't,
to talk of such things.
I'm a good girl, and I know
what the likes of you are.
We want none of your
slum prudery here, young woman.
You've got to learn to behave like
a duchess. Take her away, Mrs. Pearce.
- If she gives you trouble, wallop her.
- I'll call the police!
- I've no place to put her.
- Put her in the ashcan.
- You can't pick a girl up as if picking a pebble off the beach.
- Why not?
- She may be married.
- Garn!
As the girl very
properly says, "Garn!"
- By George, Eliza.
Before I'm done with you, the streets
will be strewn with the bodies of men...
shooting themselves
for your sake.
He's off his chump, he is.
I don't want no loonies teachin' me.
Oh, I'm mad, am I?
Very well, Mrs. Pearce, throw her out!
- Stop. I won't allow it. Go home to your mother.
- I ain't got no mother.
She ain't got no mother.
The girl doesn't belong to anybody.
- She's no use to anybody but me.
- What's to become of her?
Is she to be paid anything?
Do be sensible.
What on Earth would she do with money?
She'll only drink if you give her money.
It's a lie! Nobody ever saw
a sign of liquor on me.
Doesn't it occur to you that
the girl has some feelings?
Oh, I don't think so.
Have you, Eliza?
