:53:03
I think so indeed, sir!
:53:05
Here, Governor.
:53:07
I've took a sort of a fancy to you and...
:53:13
...if you want the girl, I ain't so set
on 'avin' her home again...
:53:16
...but what I might be open to
is an arrangement.
:53:19
All I ask is my rights as a father.
:53:21
You're the last man alive to expect me
to let her go for nothing.
:53:25
I can see you're a straight sort, Governor.
:53:28
So...
:53:30
...what's a five pound note to you?
An' what's Eliza to me?
:53:34
I think you should know, Doolittle...
:53:36
...that Mr. Higgins' intentions
are entirely honorable.
:53:39
Of course they are, Governor.
If I thought they wasn't, I'd ask 50.
:53:43
You mean, you'd sell your daughter
for 50 pounds?
:53:46
Have you no morals, man?
:53:51
No, I can't afford 'em, Governor. Neither
could you if you was as poor as me.
:53:55
Not that I mean any 'arm, but...
:53:57
...if Eliza is gonna have a bit out o' this,
why not me, too?
:54:01
Why not?
:54:05
Look at it my way. What am I?
:54:09
I ask ya, what am I? I'm one
o' the undeserving poor, that's what I am.
:54:13
Think what that means to a man.
:54:15
It means he's up against
middle-class morality for all the time.
:54:19
If there's anything goin' an' I ask
for a bit of it, it's always the same story:
:54:23
"You're undeservin', so you can't have it."
:54:25
But my needs is as great as the most
deservin' widows that ever got money...
:54:29
...out of six different charities in one week
for the death o' the same 'usband.
:54:34
I don't need less than a deservin' man,
I need more.
:54:37
I don't eat less 'earty than he does
and I drink...
:54:41
...a lot more.
:54:43
I'm playin' straight with you.
:54:45
I ain't pretendin' to be deservin'.
No, I'm undeservin'...
:54:49
...and I mean to go on bein' undeservin'.
I like it an' that's the truth.
:54:53
But will you take advantage
of a man's nature...
:54:56
...do him out of the price of
his own daughter, what he's brought up...
