Zoltan Karpathy:
Don't you remember me?
Professor Henry Higgins:
No. Who the devil are you?
Zoltan Karpathy:
I'm your pupil. Your first, your greatest, your best pupil. I'm Zoltan Karpathy. That marvelous boy.
Professor Henry Higgins:
[recognizing him]
Oh.
Zoltan Karpathy:
Ah. I made your name famous throughout Europe. You teach me phonetics, you cannot forget me.
Professor Henry Higgins:
Why don't you have your hair cut?
Zoltan Karpathy:
Ah, well, I don't have your imposing appearance, your figure, your brow. If I had my hair cut, nobody would notice me.
Professor Henry Higgins:
[looking at the row of medals on his lapel]
Where did you get all these old coins?
Zoltan Karpathy:
These are decorations for language. The Queen of Transylvania is here this evening. I'm indispensable to her at these official, international parties. I speak 32 languages, I know everyone in Europe. No imposter can escape my detection.
Greek Ambassador:
[passing by]
Professor Karpathy.
Zoltan Karpathy:
[bowing, then turning back to Higgins]
The Greek ambassador. Greek my foot. He pretends not to know any English, but he cannot deceive me. He's the son of a Yorkshire watchmaker. He speaks English so villainously that he cannot utter a word without betraying his origin. I help him pretend, but I make him pay through the nose. I make them all pay.
