飘 Gone with the Wind Movie Script

RHETT:

What a leading question. Let's not talk about sordid things like money. How good of you to come and see me. And how pretty you look.

SCARLETT:

Oh, Rhett, how you do run on teasing a country girl like me.

RHETT:

Thank Heaven's you're not in rags, I'm tired of seeing women in rags. Turn around. You look good enough to eat. Prosperous, too.

SCARLETT:

Thank you, I've been doing very well. Everybody's doing well at Tara, only, I got so bored, I just thought I'd treat myself with to visit to town.

RHETT:

You're a heartless creature but that's part of your charm. Though you've got more charm than the law allows.

SCARLETT:

Now I did come here to talk senseless about me, Rhett. I came because I was so miserable at the thought of you in trouble. Oh, I know I was mad at you the night you left me on the road to Tara, and I still haven't forgiven you.

RHETT:

Oh, Scarlett, don't say that.

SCARLETT:

Well, I must admit I might not be alive now. Only for you. And when I think of myself with anything I could possibly hope for, and not a care in the world, and you where here in this horrid jail. And not even a human jail, Rhett, a horse jail. But listen to me, try to make jokes when, when I really want to cry.

And in a minute I shall cry.

RHETT:

Scarlett, can it be possible that...

SCARLETT:

Can what be possible, Rhett?

RHETT:

That you've grown a woman's heart? A real woman's heart.

SCARLETT:

I have Rhett. I know I have.

RHETT:

You know it's worth being in jail just to hear you say that.It's well worth it.

(Rhett grasps Scarlett's hands. And suddenly, he reads the callous skin of her hands. This is a pair of hard-working hands.) You can drop the moonlight and 'magnolia, Scarlett.

So things have been going well at tara, have they?

SCARLETT:

Yes...

RHETT:

What have you been doing with your hands? SCARLETT It's just that, I went riding last week without my gloves...

RHETT:

These don't belong to a lady, you've been working with them like a field hand. Why did you lie to me, and what are you really up to? SCARLETT Now Rhett...

RHETT:

In another minute, I'd almost believed you'd cared something.

SCARLETT:

But I do care!

RHETT:

Suppose we get down to the truth. You want something from me and you want it badly enough to put on quite a show on your velvets. What is it, money?

SCARLETT:

I want three hundred dollars to pay the taxes on Tara. Oh Rhett, I did lie to you when I said everything was all right. Things are just as bad as they possibly could be. And you've got millions, Rhett.

RHETT:

What collateral are you offering?

SCARLETT:

My ear bobs...
