Eliza's First Outing.0:01
Eliza worked with Professor Higgins for hours every day, learning to speak the English language the way a lady would speak it.0:16
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.0:24
Round your lips, dear.0:28
Higgins made Eliza repeat the same vowel sounds over and over again until she was exhausted, while he kept striding about the room restlessly.0:31
Stop and say it again.0:42
Higgins would say, roaring with anger.0:46
It was hard work, and Eliza often became frustrated and angry, shouting at Professor Higgins and refusing to speak anymore.0:52
The professor was not always kind to poor Eliza.1:00
He often insulted her and upset her even more.1:03
If it hadn't been for the reassuring and gentle Colonel, Eliza would have run back into the street.1:07
However, one day, Professor Higgins decided that it was time to test Eliza by introducing her to some upper class people.1:14
His mother often invited this sort of people to her home for afternoon tea and conversation.1:23
The professor decided that this afternoon Eliza would be one of his mother's guests, and he set off for her house.1:29
He arrived early in order to tell his mother about his plan.1:39
Mrs. Higgins was not pleased to see him.1:42
What are you doing here, Henry?1:45
You know this is the day when I invite people to tea.1:50
Yes, I know, Mother, said Higgins.1:53
I. This is why I have come.1:56
But you mustn't stay.1:57
You offend all my friends, and then they never want to visit me again.2:01
I know I'm not good at small talk, but people don't mind.2:08
Anyway, I've got a job for you.2:12
I've picked up a girl.2:14
She's coming to see you.2:16
Do you mean that you've fallen in love at last?2:21
No, Mother, said Higgins bluntly.2:25
I can't be bothered with young women who hardly resemble you.2:28
This girl is a project.2:32
She's a common flower girl.2:34
I've picked her off the street and you invited her to my at home day.2:36
Mrs. Higgins cried in despair.2:42
Don't worry, said Higgins.2:44
I've taught her to speak properly, and I've told her only to talk about the weather and everybody's health.2:46
It will be quite safe.2:51
Oh, Henry, how could you be so silly?2:53
Listen, Mother, higgins went on impatiently, I have got a bet with Pickering that I can make this girl into a lady in six months and convince everyone that she's a duchess.2:56
Her English is almost as good as your French.3:06
This is satisfactory, said Mrs. Higgins, a bit reassured.3:09
Well, it is and it isn't, said Higgins.3:14
His mother asked, becoming alarmed again.3:20
Well, said Higgins, she pronounces all her words properly.3:23
The trouble is, you have to think not only about how a girl pronounces words, but also what words she pronounces.3:28
No sooner had he finished his sentence than the maid announced that Mrs. Higgins guests had arrived.3:35
