Act I - 08 Act II - 42 Act III - 118 Act IV - 167 Act V - 191 PICKERING Why dont you marry that missus of yours? I rather draw the line at encouraging that sort of immorality. DOOLITTLE Tell her so, Governor: tell her so. I’m willing. It’s me that suffers by it. Ive no hold on her. I got to be agreeable to her. I got to give her presents. I got to buy her clothes something sinful. I’m a slave to that woman, Governor, just because I’m not her lawful husband. And she knows it too. Catch her marrying me! Take my advice, Governor: marry Eliza while she’s young and dont know no better. If you dont youll be sorry for it after. If you do, she’ll be sorry for it after; but better her than you, because youre a man, and she’s only a woman and dont know how to be happy anyhow. HIGGINS Pickering: if we listen to this man another minute, we shall have no convictions left. (To Doolittle) Five pounds I think you said.
