- Frankly,my dear,I don't give a damn. \m/ (to Scarlett O'Hara) [hear,hear]
- You are like a thief,who isn't sorry that he stole but is terribly sorry he is going to jail. (to Scarlett O'Hara) [ reminds me of a lotta people]
Rhett: I am laughing because I am so sorry for you.
Scarlett: Sorry for me? Be sorry for yourself.
Rhett: Yes,hurts,doesn't it? I feel sorry for you,my pretty little fool. You can't stand either laughter or pity,can you?
[Neither can I :P]
4. But,hell,I wouldn't have grudged him your body. I know how little bodies mean-especially women's bodies. But I do grudge him your heart and your dear hard,unscrupulous,stubborn mind. He doesn't want your mind,the fool,and I don't want your body. I can buy woman cheap. But i do want your mind and your heart and I'll never have them,any more than you'll have Ashley's mind,and thats why I feel sorry for you.
You are a child crying for the moon. What would the child do with the moon if it got it? And what would you do with Ashley? Yes,I'm sorry for you-sorry to see that you are throwing away your happiness and reaching out for something that would never make you happy. We could have been happy,for I loved you and I know you,Scarlett,down to your bones,in a way Ashley could never know you. And he would despise you if he did know. But no,you must go mooning after a man you cannot understand. And I,my darling,will continue to moon after whores. And,I dare say,we'll do better than most couples. -Rhett Butler
[ Applaud. I love the guy.]
5. And money has made you very very happy,hasn't it my dear? -Rhett Butler
[ Lol. Money can't buy happiness to those who have it. And for those who don't,there is another story]
6. She is the only dream I had that did not die in the face of reality. -Ashley Wilkies about Melanie Wilkies. [ Kinda reminds me of Spike talking about Julia "She is the only woman who was truly alive to me"]
7. No. If you must see him as he really is,see him straight. He's only a gentlemen caught in a world he doesn't belong in,trying to make the best of it by rules of the world that's gone- Rhett Butler about Ashley Wilkies.
[ Wouldn't we say that for everyone?]
8. You are so cruel to those who love you,Scarlett. You take their love and hold it high above their head like whip.I couldn't tell you I love you because I knew you would use it against me- Rhett Butler to Scarlett O'Hara
[ I believe there is technical term for women like Scarlett O'Hara. I am withholding it. ^_^]
9. My darling,you are such a child. You think by saying "I'm sorry" all the errors and hurts of years past can be remedied,obliterated from mind,all poison drawn from old wounds. Scarlett,I was never the one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together and tell myself that the mended hole was as good as new. What is broken is broken-and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see broken places as long as i live. I couldn't live with you and lie to you and I certainly couldn't lie to myself. I can't even lie to you now. I wish I could care what you do and where you went,but I can't.
Frankly,my dear,I don't give a damn-Rhett Butler to Scarlett O'Hara.
[ I would have applauded for this one. I love it. And that is how I see it too]
10. With enough courage, you can do without a reputation. - Rhett Butler
[ The trouble is..does everyone have that kind of courage? The mask that we wear in society soon becomes the face itself]
11.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 be 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.
12. Heaven help the man who loves you.- Rhett Butler to Scarlett O'Hara
[Talking about yourself,aren't you,Mr Butler? ]
13. Of course, the comic figure in all this is the long-suffering Mr. Wilkes! Mr. Wilkes, who can't be mentally faithful to his wife — and won't be unfaithful to her technically. Why doesn't he make up his mind?- Rhett Butler
[ Indeed. Its a very tragi-comic scenario]
14. "The Cause!". the cause of living in the past is dying right in front of us. -Rhett Butler
[ True,Mr Butler.Very true]
