Colonel Hugh Pickering:
Higgins, if there's any mishap at the embassy tonight, if Miss Doolittle suffers any embarrassment, whatever, it'll be on your head alone.
Professor Henry Higgins:
Oh, Eliza can do anything.
Colonel Hugh Pickering:
Suppose she's discovered? Remember Ascot? Suppose she makes another ghastly mistake?
Professor Henry Higgins:
There'll be no horses at the ball, Pickering.
Colonel Hugh Pickering:
Think how agonizing it would be. Oh, if anything happened tonight, I don't know what I'd do.
Professor Henry Higgins:
Well, you could always re-join your regiment.
Colonel Hugh Pickering:
This is no time for flippancy, Higgins. The way you've driven the girl the last six weeks has exceeded all bounds of common decency. For God's sake, can you stop pacing up and down? Can't you settle somewhere?
Professor Henry Higgins:
Have some port. It'll quieten your nerves.
Colonel Hugh Pickering:
I'm not nervous. Where is it?
Professor Henry Higgins:
On the piano.
