Re: Another strange phrase

Pygmalion a écrit :
[...]

Well, I was reading official transcript, but I hear rather "You have a
RIVAL here tonight" - RIVAL rather than LIVE ONE
Anyone with a Pygmalion (1938) in his videotheque, help.

"...a rival here tonight" is definitely what I can hear too.

Is that the transcript you are referring to? http://www.script-o-rama.com/movie_scripts/p/pygmalion-script-transcript-play-shaw.html
It's not really "official" in any sense of the word, I think.

There are some extracts of the book--the whole text is not available, unfortunately-- here:
