Conservatory Flashcards
(Beginning of scene 5 act 2)
And you mean to say that after you did this wonderful thing for them without making a single mistake, they just sat there and never said a word to you? Never petted you or admired you, or told you how splendid your been?
Eliza
Not a word
That’s simply appalling. I should not have thrown the slippers at him, I should have thrown the fire irons.
Higgins
Mother! Mother!
I thought it wouldn’t be long. Stay where you are my dear.
Higgins
Mother where the devil are you?
Remember, last night you not only danced with a prince, but you behaved like a princess.
Higgins
Dont you dare try that game on me! I taught it to you! Get up and come home and dont be a fool! You’ve caused me enough trouble for one morning!
Very nicely put, indeed, Henry. no woman could resist such an invitation.
Higgins
How did this baggage get here in the first place?
Eliza came to see me, and I was delighted to have her. And if you dont promise to behave yourself, I shall have to ask you to leave.
Higgins
You mean I’m to put on my Sunday manners for this thing I created out of squashed cabbage leaves of Covent garden?
Yes ,dear, that is precisely what I mean.
Higgins
I’ll see her damned first!
How did you ever learn manners with my son around?
Eliza
(Long explanation) but I know that I shall always be a lady to colonel Pickering because he always treats me as a lady, and always will.
Henry, please dont grind your teeth
Maid
The vicar is here, madam. shall I show him into the garden?
The vicar, and the professor? Good heavens, no! I’ll see him in the library.
Eliza , if my son begins to break things, I give you full permission to have him evicted.
Henry dear, if I were you, I should stick two subjects, the weather and your health.
Higgins
Mother! Mother!
What is it henry? What has happened?
Higgins
Mother! Mother!
What is it henry? What has happened?
Higgins
She’s gone
Of course dear. What did u expect?
Higgins
What am I to do?
Do without I suppose.
Higgins
Long speech then leaves
Bravo Eliza!
