SCARLETT:

You did, it’s true, you did! I’ll hate you till I

die! I can’t think of anything bad enough to call

you…

(Ashley leaves. Scarlett throws a vase to the wall

in anger. The crashing of the vase startles Rhett

Butler. He rises up from the couch in a dark corner

of the room.)

RHETT:

Has the war started?

SCARLETT:

Sir, you…you should have made your presence known.

RHETT:

In the middle of that beautiful love scene? That

wouldn’t have been very tactful, would it? But don’t

worry. Your secret is safe with me.

SCARLETT:

Sir, you are no gentleman.

RHETT:

And you, miss, are no lady. Don’t think that I hold

that against you. Ladies have never held any charm

for me.

SCARLETT:

First you take a low, common advantage of me, then

you insult me!

RHETT:

I meant it as a compliment. And I hope to see more of

you when you’re free of the spell of the elegant Mr.

Wilkes. He doesn’t strike me as half good enough for

a girl of your…what was it…your passion for

living?

SCARLETT:

How dare you! You aren’t fit to wipe his boot!

RHETT:

And you were going to hate him for the rest of your

life.

Since we soon may lose all non DVD versions of GWTT, my QotD is from the beginning of this magnificent movie.
