"Why is thinking
Something women never do?

1:04:04
"And why is logic never even tried?
1:04:07
"Straightening up their hair
Is all they ever do

1:04:10
"Why don't they straighten up
The mess that's inside?

1:04:13
"Why can't a woman behave like a man?
1:04:16
"If I was a woman
Who'd been to a ball

1:04:19
"Been hailed as a princess
By one and by all

1:04:23
"Would I start weeping
Like a bathtub overflowing?

1:04:26
"Or carry on as if my home were in a tree?
1:04:29
"Would I run off
And never tell me where I'm going?

1:04:32
"Why can't a woman be like me?"
1:04:38
You mean that after you'd done
this wonderful thing for them...

1:04:42
...without making a mistake...
1:04:43
...they just sat there
and never said a word?

1:04:45
Never petted you, or admired you,
or told you how splendid you'd been?

1:04:49
Not a word.
1:04:49
They just congratulated each other
on how marvelous they'd been.

1:04:53
The next moment, how glad they were
it was all over...

1:04:55
...and what a bore it had all been.
1:04:57
This is appalling. I should not
have thrown my slippers at him.

1:05:00
I should have thrown the fire irons.
1:05:02
Who's that?
1:05:04
Henry. I knew it wouldn't be too long.
1:05:08
Now, remember...
1:05:10
...you not only danced with a prince
last night, you behaved like a princess.

1:05:21
Mother, the most confounded thing...
Do you...

1:05:27
You!
1:05:28
Good afternoon, Professor Higgins.
Are you quite well?

1:05:33
Of course you are. You are never ill.
Would you care for some tea?

1:05:37
Don't you dare try that game on me.
I taught it to you.

1:05:40
Get up, come home and stop being a fool.
1:05:42
You've caused me enough trouble.
1:05:44
Very nicely put indeed, Henry.
No woman could resist such an invitation.

1:05:47
How did this baggage get here?
1:05:49
Eliza came to see me this morning
and I was delighted to have her.

1:05:52
If you don't promise to behave yourself
I'll ask you to leave.

1:05:55
I'm to put on my Sunday manners
for this...

1:05:57
...thing that I created out of the squashed
cabbage leaves of Covent Garden?
