* The scene at Higgins's mother's house. It's almost exactly the same as its ''Theatre/MyFairLady'' counterpart (the scene at Ascot), only with an extra character (Clara Eynsford-Hill) and a different punctuating line, which only serves to cue Eliza off stage (although in the movie it ends the scene). Clara then goes to demonstrate that Eliza wasn't ''quite'' so off in her usage of the word "bloody".

** No, she doesn't. Clara, belonging to an impoverished though aristocratic family, did not have access to an aristocratic upbringing (as demonstrated by her low-class pronunciation of "pneumonia" in the first scene) or to "smart" Society; when she adopts Eliza's hopelessly vulgarian "bloody" she is under the delusion that Eliza is herself one of the smart set, and is actually humiliating herself (much to Higgins' malicious delight). As Shaw relates in his afterword, the realization that her pretensions to classiness have made so a thorough fool of her proves to be a shock which leads her to drop her class prejudices and become a Socialist!
