..Your daughter Eliza...Moved in with a swell, Eliza has...this morning, I gets a message from her.She wants her things sent over to 27A Wimpole Street, care of Professor Higgins.And what things does she want?...Her birdcage, and a Chinese fan.But she says, ""Never mind about sending any clothes.""Alfred celebrates his luck by finishing up his song: "A man was made to help support his children, which is the right and proper thing to do.""Cause he""s gonna kick your face in pieces, you know that? That""s right.This guy just don""t wanna win, you know.He wants to bury you, he wants to humiliate you.He wants to prove to the whole world that you was nothing but some kind of a freak the first time out." The newspaper is being read by Gittes seated in a barber""s chair during a beautifying haircut.The barber Barney (George Justin) makes an off-hand reference to Jake""s near-star status in the center of the film industry:When you get so much publicity, you gotta getblaséabout it.A crane takes the camera up above the front porch into a dissolve through the lighted windows on the second floor, where a crooked card game is in progress." In a memorable routine (improvised by Fields himself), he asks for a glass of water.He dips in his fingers to wash them, and dries them on a paper napkin that he crumples and rolls into a ball, tosses into he air over his shoulder, and neatly kicks away with the heel of his shoe.
