About 37 mins into the movie there is a scene where Eliza is seen walking home with a man.
He keeps saying he can't. What was the conversation about? Who was that man and why does she spit at him?
I do understand that he says something mean about her children but I do not get what the context is? What did he promise her?
It's been a while since I saw it, so I may be completely wrong, but the only scene I can recall that kind of fits is when Eliza is clearly having trouble keeping her children fed, and she decides to earn some money 'on her back'. I guess the gent was her first client, but he backs out at the last minute getting cold feet possibly because he's a family man with children.
Cheers
I am not a native English speaker but from the context I believe by 'on her back' you mean she decided to earn some money by prostituting? It all makes sense to me now. Thanks.
