A man with no Morals Professor Higgins and Colonel Pickering were sitting by the fire when Mrs. Pearce returned to the room.0:01
Is the girl clean yet?0:23
Yes, sir, replied Mrs. Pears.0:26
But I'm afraid we have another problem now.0:28
There's a Mr. Alfred Doolittle here to see you.0:31
He says you have his daughter.0:34
Send the man in, said Higgins resolutely.0:37
Mrs. Pearce left the room and when she returned, she was followed by an elderly man in extremely dirty clothes.0:41
Alfred Dolittle was a dustman, but he did not seem to feel uncomfortable in a rich man's home.0:48
He looked at the two gentlemen as he entered the room.0:55
Alfred sat in a large armchair as if he was used to such comfort.1:03
I come about a very serious matter, he said.1:08
Of course you do, said Higgins.1:13
You're her father, aren't you?1:16
And I don't imagine anyone else wants her.1:18
Take her away at once.1:23
This was not the reaction Alfred had expected.1:24
He stood up, startled.1:27
Well, I'm not going to keep your daughter for you, said Higgins.1:31
How dare you come here and try to blackmail me.1:36
What are you talking about?1:41
You sent her here on purpose, said Higgins.1:44
I shall call the police.1:48
He moved towards the telephone and Alfred put out a hand to stop him.1:50
I never said nothing about money.1:56
Well, what else have you come here for?1:59
How did you know she was here?2:02
I'll tell you, if you'll only let me get a word in, said Alfred.2:05
Im willing to tell you.2:09
I'm wanting to tell you.2:11
I'm waiting to tell you.2:13
Listen, Pickering, higgins said, turning to the Colonel, this man has a natural gift for public speaking.2:15
Alfred, do go on with your story.2:23
Well, continued Alfred, eliza sent a boy for her things and I met him on the street.2:26
He told me where she was, so I come here to find out what was going on.2:32
Well, you can take her away now.2:40
No, hold on, said Alfred.2:42
I like you and I can see that you're a gentleman.2:45
I'm sure we can come to an arrangement.2:49
After all, what's five pounds to you?2:51
And what's Eliza to me?2:54
You mean you would sell your daughter to us?2:56
I can't afford morals, said Alfred.3:05
Nor could you if you was as poor as me.3:08
Morals are for the rich.3:11
Professor Higgins walked to the desk and picked up his wallet.3:13
We shall give the man five pounds, Pickering.3:17
And we shall write to Professor Won a fellow, the famous professor of morality.3:20
We shall tell him that if he ever wants a man to lecture on morality amongst the poorer classes he should send for Mr. Alfred Doolittle.3:25
