“Colonel Hugh Pickering - Well, I'm dashed!”

“Professor Henry Higgins: Oh, Pickering, for God's sake stop being dashed and do something! ”

“I'm not a teacher: only a fellow traveler of whom you asked the way. I pointed ahead - ahead of myself as well as you.”

“If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.”

“Well, upon my soul! You are not ashamed to stand there and confess yourself a disgusting drunkard.”

“Oh, well, if you want original conversations, you'd better go and talk to yourself.”

“I'm one of the undeserving poor: that's what I am. Think of what that means to a man. It means that he's up agen middle class morality all the time. If there's anything going, and I put in for a bit of it, it's always the same story: "You're undeserving; so you can't have it." Buy my needs is as great as the most deserving widow's that ever got money out of six different charities in one week for the death of the same husband. I don't need less than a deserving man: I need more. I don't eat less hearty than him; and I drink a lot more. I want a bit of amusement, cause I'm a thinking man. I want cheerfulness and a song and a band when I feel low. Well, they charge me just the same for everything as they charge the deserving. What is middle class morality? Just an excuse for never giving me anything.”
