Act Five AFTERWARDS Colonel Pickering and Henry come in with Eliza after eating their supper. She is still in her beautiful clothes. They sit and Eliza gets Henry's slippers. H: What an evening! Thank God it's over. (Suddenly he sees the slippers) Oh, thank you, Eliza. CP: Were you nervous? I was, but Eliza wasn't. H: Oh, I knew she'd be all right. This project was interesting enough at first, but it became boring. CP: Oh, but the ambassador's party was extremely exciting. H: Yes, at first. But then I saw we would win easily. CP: Yes. It's been a great triumph (胜利) for you. They both leave. Eliza throws herself into a chair and sobs violently. Henry returns. H: Where did I leave my shoes? E: Here they are. Take them! She throws them at Henry. H: (amazed) What on earth ...? Is there anything wrong? E: Nothing wrong - for you. I've won your bet for you, haven't I? H: YOU won the bet! I won it! E: Oh - you selfish brute (野兽;冷酷的人)! What's to become of me? H: How should I know? E: You don't care! I'm nothing to you - worthless than those shoes. H: Are you complaining of your treatment here? E: No. H: Has anyone been unkind to you? Colonel Pickering? Mrs Pearce? Me? E: No. H: Well, perhaps you're just tired. E: I'm sorry, but I have to be careful. Are these clothes mine or Mrs Pearce's? I wouldn't like to be accused of stealing when I leave. H: Leave? You're not leaving! To think I spent all my hard-earned knowledge on you! Mrs Pearce comes in with a letter. MP: A letter for you, Eliza. E: For me? Oh! It's from Freddy. H: That silly young man! E: He's not so silly. (she reads) He loves me and wants to marry me. H: A mad idea indeed! E: That's just it, isn't it? H: What do you mean, Eliza? E: Nothing. I'm not blaming you. You see the difference between a lady and a flower girl is the way she's treated. I shall always be a flower girl to you. But to Colonel Pickering I'll always be a lady. H: What, aren't my manners the same as Pickering's? E: No. He treats a flower girl as if she were a duchess. H: And I treat a duchess as if she were a flower girl. Is that correct? E: Yes. You don't love me, so tomorrow I shall go and marry Freddy because he does. H: And you'll leave me? E: Yes, because he'll make me happy. H: Marry Freddy! What nonsense! E: (Proudly) Goodbye, Professor Higgins. I won't see you again. H: Now then, Eliza. Stop this nonsense. Tomorrow I want you to order the meat and buy me a new pair of gloves. I leave the colour to you. Eliza leaves the room, and Henry suddenly feels very upset. H: Leave me and marry Freddy? Ha, ha, ha, ha! Henry is still laughing as the play ends. |
