He tries to get Henry Higgins to give him 5 pounds, and Higgins is so amused by Doolittle that he says "Let's give him 10".<BR/><BR/>Alfred refuses, and says something like "No, 10 pounds makes a man feel prudent-like, and goodbye to happiness. Just give me what I ask for, not a penny more, not a penny less. One good spree for me and the missus."Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16371925558254933645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554982014255874668.post-74791986801273599102007-12-20T20:29:00.000+11:002007-12-20T20:29:00.000+11:00I am feeling my destiny for cheapness and bargain ...I am feeling my destiny for cheapness and bargain tables coming on ... post-Christmas sales, anyone?Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16371925558254933645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554982014255874668.post-53085384475349438172007-12-18T19:46:00.000+11:002007-12-18T19:46:00.000+11:00And some were destined for greedness.And some were destined for greedness.JahTehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007730071564639411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554982014255874668.post-30366983988106681722007-12-18T17:59:00.000+11:002007-12-18T17:59:00.000+11:00You like greed, some want greed, others need greed...You like greed, some want greed, others need greed ...
