LIZA


Dont sneer at me. It’s mean to sneer at me.

HIGGINS


I have never sneered in my life. Sneering doesnt become
either the human face or the human soul. I am expressing my
righteous contempt for Commercialism. I dont and wont trade in
affection. You call me a brute because you couldnt buy a claim
on me by fetching my slippers and finding my spectacles. You
were a fool: I think a woman fetching a man’s slippers is a
disgusting sight: did I ever fetch your slippers? I think a
good deal more of you for throwing them in my face. No use
slaving for me and then saying you want to be cared for: who
cares for a slave? If you come back, come back for the sake of
good fellowship; for youll get nothing else. Youve had a
thousand times as much out of me as I have out of you; and if
you dare to set up your little dog’s tricks of fetching and
carrying slippers against my creation of a Duchess Eliza, I’ll
slam the door in your silly face.

What did you do it for if you didnt care for me?
