Have you no morals, man?

Alfred P. Doolittle

Nah, can't afford 'em. Neither could you, if you were as poor as me.
"Why Henry, you're not even dressed properly!"
"Oh, I changed my shirt."
Higgins's mother and Higgins at the horse races.

All I want is a room somewhere, Far away from the cold night air. With one enormous chair, Aow, wouldn't it be loverly?

Eliza Doolittle, "I Could Have Da tonced All Night"

Eliza, you are to stay here for the next six months learning to speak beautifully, like a lady in a florist's shop. At the end of six months you will be taken to an embassy ball in a carriage, beautifully dressed. If the king finds out you are not a lady, you will be taken to the Tower of London, where your head will be cut off as a warning to other presumptuous flower girls! If you are not found out, you shall be given a present of... uh... seven and six to start life within a lady's shop. If you refuse this offer, you will be the most ungrateful, wicked girl, and the angels will weep for you.

Freddy Einsford-Hill, "On the Street Where You Live"
