He may not be a ___________________, Higgins.
Oh, nonsense. Of course he's a blackguard, _____________________.
Whether he is or not, I'm afraid we'll have some trouble

No, I think not. Any trouble to be had, he'll have it with

Doolittle, sir.
Professor _______________.
Here!
Where?
Oh, good morning, governor. I come about a very serious matter,
______________.
Brought up in Hounslow. Mother
Welsh, I should think. What is it you want, ____________?
I want my daughter, that's what I want. See?
Well, of course you do. You're her ____________, aren't you?
I'm glad to see you have a spark of family feeling left.
She's in there. Just
take her away at once.
What?
Take her away! You think I'm gonna keep your daughter for
you?
Ah, now, is this reasonable, governor? Is it "fairity"
to take ________________ of a man like that?
The girl belongs to me. You got her. Where do I come in?
How dare you come here and attempt to ___________________
me. You sent her here on purpose.
Ah, now, don't take a man up like that, governor.
Well, the police should take you up.This is a plant, a plot
to ______________ money by threats.
I shall telephone the police.
Have I asked you for a _______________ farthing? I leave it
to this gentleman here.
Have I said a word about money?
What else did you come for?
Well, what would a _______________ come for? Be human, governor.
Alfred, you sent her here on purpose.
So help me, governor, I never did.
Then how did you know she was here?
I'll tell you, governor, if you only let me get a word in.
I'm willing to tell you. I'm wanting to tell you. I'm waiting
to tell you.
You know, Pickering,
this chap's got a certain natural gift of rhetoric. Observe the _____________
of his native woodnotes ________. "I'm willing to tell
you. I'm _______________ to tell you.
I'm waiting to tell you." That's the Welsh strain in
him.
How did you know _______________ was here if you didn't send
her?
Well, she sent back for her luggage, and I got to hear about
it.
She said she didn't want no ___________________. What was I
to think from that, governor?
I ask you, as a ________________, what was I to think?
So you came here to rescue her from worse than death, eh?
Just so, governor. That's right.
Yes. Missus Pearce! Uh, Missus. Pearce. Eliza's ______________
has come to take her away.
Give her to him, will you?
Now wait a minute, governor. Wait a minute.
You and me is men of the ____________, ain't we?
Oh, men of the ______________, are _____?
Yes, you'd better go, Missus Pearce.
I think so indeed, sir.
Here, governor. I've, uh, I've took a sort of a ________________
to you.
And, uh, if you want the girl, well, I ain't so set on havin'
her back home again.
But what I might be open to is, uh, an arrangement.
All I ask is my rights as a father. You're the last man alive
to expect me to let her go for nothing. I can see you're, you're one of the ____________________
sort, governor.
So, uh, what's a five-pound note to you, and what's Eliza to
me?
I think you ought to know, Doolittle,
that Mister Higgins'
intentions are entirely _______________________.
Well, of course they are, governor. If I thought they wasn't,
I'd ask fifty.
You mean to say you'd sell your daughter for ______________
pounds?
Have you no _____________, man?
No. No, I can't afford them, governor. Neither could you if
you was as ______________ as me.
Not that I mean any harm, mind you. But if Eliza is gonna
have a bit out of this,
why not me too. Eh? Why not? Well, look, uh-- Look at it my
way.
What am I? I ask you, what am I? I'm one of the undeserving
poor, that's what I am.
Now think what that means to a man. it means he's up against
middle-class morality for all of time. If there's anything going and I puts in
for a bit of it, it's always the same story.
You're ________________, so you can't have it. But my needs
is as great as the most deserving widows that ever got money out of six different
charities in one week for the death of the same husband. Heh. I don't need less
than a ________________ man; I need more.
I don't eat less hearty than he does, and I drink, oh, a lot
more.
I'm playing straight with you. I ain't pretending to be deserving.
No, I'm _________________,
and I mean to go on ____________ undeserving. I like it and
hat's the truth.
But will you take advantage of a man's _____________ ...to
do him out of the _______________
of his own daughter what he's brought up, fed and ________________
... by the sweat of his brow
...'til she's growed big enough to be …interesting to you
two gentlemen?
Well, is five _______________ unreasonable, I put it to you?
And I'll leave it to you.
You know, Pickering, if we
took this man in hand for three months, he could choose between a seat in the
cabinet and a ______________ pulpit in Wales.
We'd better give him a fiver.
He'll make bad use of it, I'm afraid.
Ah, not me, governor. So help me, I won't. Just one good_________
for meself
and the missus, giving pleasure to ourselves and employment
to others.
And satisfaction to you to know it ain't been throwed away. You couldn't
____________ it better.
Oh, this is irresistible. Let's give him _________.
No. The missus wouldn't have the heart to spend ten, governor.
Ten _____________ is a lot of money. Makes a man feel prudent-like,
and then good-bye to happiness. No, you just give me what I ask, governor. Not
a penny less, not a penny more.
I rather draw the line at encouraging this sort of immorality,
________________.
Why don't you ________________ that missus of yours, eh?
After all, marriage isn't so frightening. You ___________________
Eliza's mother.
Who told you that, governor?
Well, nobody told me. I concluded, naturally.
If we listen to this man for another _______________, we
shall have no convictions left.
Five pounds, I think you said.
Thank you, governor. Thank you.
Are you sure you won't have ten?
No. No, perhaps another time.
