Eliza Dolittle Colonel Pickering visited Professor Higgins the next day and the two men sat in Higgins study and discussed the wide variety of Indian dialects.0:01
Higgins played records of different dialects on his phonograph and the two men listened with interest.0:25
There was a knock at the study door and Higgins housekeeper, Mrs. Pearce, entered the room.0:32
What is it, Mrs. Pears?0:38
Asked Professor Higgins.0:39
There's a young woman here to see you, sir.0:41
Well, she's a very common girl, sir.0:47
I tried to send her away, but she says you'll be glad to see her.0:49
Does she have an interesting accent?0:56
Oh, it's dreadful, sir, said Mrs. Pearce.0:59
Very well, said Higgins.1:02
He rushed across to the table and picked up a new cylinder to use on his phonograph.1:06
This is lucky, he said to Colonel Pickering.1:11
Now I can show you how I make records.1:14
Mrs. Pierce returned and showed in Higgins Visitor.1:17
It was the flower girl from Covent Garden.1:21
Oh, no, said Higgins.1:24
This is the girl I met last night.1:26
I've already recorded her accent, so she's no use.1:29
I don't want you here.1:34
Don't you be so rude to me, said the girl.1:35
You ain't heard why I come here yet.1:38
I'm come to have lessons, I am.1:41
And if you was a gentleman, you might ask me to sit down.1:43
The two men stared at her, amazed.1:47
Pickering, shall we ask her to sit down or shall we throw her out?1:50
Do sit down, said Colonel Pickering gently.1:55
Now tell us, what is it you want?2:00
He said he could make me one, so here I am, ready to pay him for lessons.2:06
Asked Professor Higgins.2:13
And how much do you intend to pay me for the lessons, Eliza?2:16
Well, a friend of mine gets French lessons for 18 pence an hour.2:19
I ain't paying as much to learn me own language, so I won't give you more than a shilling, take it or leave it.2:23
Hmm, murmured Higgins.2:32
Do you know, Pickering, that a shilling is about 40% of her daily income?2:35
If a millionaire paid me 40% of his daily income for a lesson, he would pay me £60.2:41
The flower girl jumped up in horror.2:48
I never said nothing about £60.2:54
She fell back into her chair and started to sob, wiping her nose on her sleeve.3:01
Oh, please be quiet, said Higgins.3:06
He handed her his handkerchief.3:10
Asked Eliza, taking the white square of material from the professor.3:13
It's to wipe your eyes and any other part of your face that feels wet, said Higgins.3:17
Remember, this is your handkerchief and that's your sleeve.3:24
Don't confuse the two if you want to become a lady.3:30
