H: It's up to you. The more you want to succeed the shorter it will take.

P: Higgins, I have to say that you have changed a lot. You are a real teacher now. And you, Eliza, you can't expect too much. You must learn step by step. It's your luck to have Higgins to be your teacher. He'll do you much good.

Sample version 2:

Act Two, Scene 3

(Professor Higgins is waiting for Eliza to come to their second lesson. He looks up and smiles as she enters the room.)

H: Ah, Eliza. Ready today for our second lesson?

E: (slowly and carefully) Ye-es...

H: It seems that you are a little uncomfortable. Do you feel nervous?

E: Oh no, I'm fine, but...

H: (a little impatient) Why so uncomfortable, Eliza? You have made great progress as we all can see. Are you planning to give up?

E: (raises her eyes) Oh no, I'm not. Let's start, Mr Higgins. What would you like to show me today?

H: (picks up a dress and throw it to Eliza) Put it on and I'll tell you how to behave in a grand party.

E: (hesitates) On a grand party? Is it too early? Oh, the dress is too large! I can't even walk!

H: What a poor girl! Of course you don't have to keep it, if you are ready to be a flower girl again. For a well-educated girl, it is important to know how to deal with different situations in a proper way. For example when someone invite you to dance, always remember to say "I'd like to! Thank you."

E: Yes!

H: Your English needs further improvement. No one will believe such a pronunciation comes from a well-educated girl.

E: Pardon?

H: OK, OK. That's enough. Dance, please.

E: (seeing Professor's funny face and can't help laughing) Ha, ha, ha...

H: (angrily) Stop! You sound so rude and nobody will enjoy it! Silly!

E: (stop laughing and act as Higgins) Like this?

P: (enters the room) Oh, I can't believe my eyes! Is it your masterpiece?

H: It's so simple.

P: What a beautiful and graceful lady! May I have the honor to dance with you?

H: (watching and smiling) What a masterpiece she will be!
