Pygmalion
First, a sky over chimney pots and church towers, with masses of thundercloud and a black cloud moving toward the sun.
Cut to:
adilly Circus, London. Flower sellers (women in shawls with baskets) seated round the base of the Eros monument. Among them Liza Doolittle, the only young one. The rest are elderly or middle aged. All, including Liza, are too poorly clad and dirty to be attractive. Liza is a pathetic draggle tailed creature. She offers bunches of violets to the passers-by, like the rest; but there is no business, as the sky is darkening, and people are looking up anxiously at the clouds, loosening the bands of their umbrellas, and hurrying on. The flower sellers are still offering their wares; but no words can be distinguished through the traffic noises.
Cut to:
Liza and her next neighbor, an elderly woman. The audience now has a better look at Liza; but her good looks are not yet discoverable: she is dirty and her bed hair is dirty. Her shawl and skirt are old and ugly. Her boots are deplorable, her hat, an old black straw with a band of violets, indescribable. The older woman, though also dirty with London grime, and no better dressed, is slightly more disciplined by experience. She is busy packing her basket and covering it. Liza is listless, discouraged, and miserable.
OLD WOMAN. Now then, Liza: wake up. It抯 going to rain something chronic. You going to sit there and get soaked?
LIZA. O Gawd, I avnt sold a bloody thing since five o抍lock, I avnt. Whats the good of doing anything in this weather?
OLD WOMAN. Come now: talking like that wont elp. Better get home dry than wet.
The old woman takes up her basket and hurries off.
Thunder, much nearer, after a flash.
Liza looks up, and hastily stirs herself to pack her basket. She finishes by putting her hat into the basket and drawing her shawl over her head. Then she rushes off.
View of adilly Circus again; but it is now raining with the first heavy drops of a summer shower.
