Well, sir, she says you’ll be glad to see her when you know what she’s come about. She’s quite a common girl, sir. Very common indeed.
Oh, that’s all right, Mrs. Pearce. Has she an interesting accent?
Oh, something dreadful, sir, really. I don’t know how you can take an interest in it.
Let’s have her up. Show her up, Mrs. Pearce
Very well, sir. It’s for you to say.
This is the young woman, sir.
Be off with you, I don’t want you.
Don’t you be so saucy. You ain’t heard what I come for yet.
Oh, we are proud! He ain’t above giving lessons. I heard him say so. Well, I ain’t come here to ask for any compliment; and if my money’s not good enough I can go elsewhere
Nonsense, girl! what do you think a gentleman like Mr. Higgins cares what you came in?
Good enough for what?
WELL!!!
I've come to have lessons, I am. And to pay for em too: make no mistake.
Pickering: shall we ask this baggage to sit down or shall we throw her out of the window?
I won’t be called a baggage when I’ve offered to pay like any lady.
Well, if you was a gentleman, you might ask me to sit down, I think. Don’t I tell you I’m bringing you business?
How can you be such a foolish ignorant girl as to think you could afford to pay Mr. Higgins?
How much?
Why shouldn’t I? I know what lessons cost as well as you do; and I’m ready to pay.
Sit down.
Don’t mind if I do.
Now you’re talking!
Will you please keep to the point, Mr. Higgins.
what is to become of her when you’ve finished your teaching?
I want to talk like a lady.
What’s to become of her if I leave her in the gutter? Tell me that, Mrs. Pearce.
That’s her own business, not yours, Mr. Higgins.
Well, when I’ve done with her, we can throw her back into the gutter; and then it will be her own business again; so that’s all right.
