[00:00.00] Henry Higgins: Look at her, a prisoner of the gutter,
[00:03.92] Condemned by every syllable she utters
[00:07.02] By right she should be taken out and hung,
[00:10.14] For the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue.
[00:13.90] Eliza Doolittle: Aaoooww!
[00:14.59] Henry (imitating her): Aaoooww!
[00:15.86] Heavens! What a sound!
[00:17.55] This is what the British population,
[00:20.50] Calls an elementary education.
[00:23.17] Pickering: Oh,Counsel, I think you picked a poor example.
[00:25.72] Henry: Did I?
[00:27.36] ****************************
[00:29.47] Dropping "h's" everywhere.
[00:31.34] Speaking English anyway they like.
[00:34.74] You sir, did you go to school?
[00:37.07] Man: Wadaya tike me for, a fool?
[00:38.64] Henry: No one taught him 'take' instead of 'tike!
[00:42.37] Hear a Yorkshire man, or worse, hear a Cornishman converse.
[00:46.25] I'd rather hear a choir singing flat.
[00:49.50] Chickens, cackling in a barn, just like this one (pointing to Eliza)
[00:53.50] Eliza: Gaaarn
[00:54.76] Henry (writing, imitating Eliza): Gaaarn..
[00:56.77] I ask you Sir, what sort of word is that? (to Pickering)
[01:00.00] It's "aoow" and "gaarn" that keep her in her place
[01:03.34] Not her wretched clothes and dirty face
[01:06.71] Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
[01:10.77] This verbal class distinction, by now,
[01:13.45] Should be antique. If you spoke as she does, sir,
[01:16.67] Instead of the way you do,
[01:18.77] Why, you might be selling flowers, too!
[01:21.63] Pickering: I beg your pardon!
[01:22.45] Henry: An Englishman's way of speaking absolutely classifies him,
[01:25.85] The moment he talks he makes some other
[01:27.72] Englishman despise him.
[01:29.45] One common language I'm afraid we'll never get.
[01:32.70] Oh, why can't the English learn to
[01:36.71] set a good example to people whose
[01:39.84] English is painful to your ears?
[01:42.63] The Scotch and the Irish leave you close to tears.
[01:46.15] There even are places where English completely disappears.
[01:51.24] Well, in America, they haven't used it for years!
[01:55.08] Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
[01:58.07] Norwegians learn Norwegian
[02:00.06] The Greeks have taught their Greek.
[02:01.97] In France every Frenchman knows
[02:03.80] his language from "A" to "Zed"
[02:06.43] The French never care what they do, actually,
[02:08.17] as long as they pronounce it properly.
[02:10.96] Arabians learn Arabian with the speed of summer lightning.
[02:14.59] And Hebrews learn it backwards,
[02:16.14] which is absolutely frightening.
[02:18.06] Use proper English you're regarded as a freak.
[02:21.76] Why can't the English,
[02:25.36] Why can't the English learn to speak?
[02:30.04]
