飘 Gone with the Wind Movie Script

RHETT:

You heard nothing of the kind. You wouldn't have come down if you thought I was here. You must need a drink badly.

SCARLETT:

I do not.

RHETT:

Take it. Don't get yourself airs. I know you drink on the quiet and I know how much you drink. You think I care if you like your brandy?

SCARLETT:

You're drunk and I'm going to bed.

RHETT:

I'm very drunk and I intend getting still drunker before the evening's over. But you're not going to bed. Not yet. Sit down. So she stood by you, did she?

How does it feel to have the woman you've wronged cloak your sins for you? You're wondering if she knows all about you and Ashley. You're wondering if she did it just to save her face. You're thinking that she's a fool for doing it even if it did save your hide but...

SCARLETT:

I will not listen.

RHETT:

Yes, you'll listen. Miss Melanie's a fool, but not the kind you think. It's just that's there's too much honor at her to ever conceive of dishonor in anyone she loves. And she loves you. Though just why she does, I'm sure I don't know.

SCARLETT:

If you weren't so drunk and insulting, I could explain everything. As it is though...

RHETT:

If you get out of that chair once more... of course, the comic figure in all of 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?

SCARLETT:

Rhett you...

RHETT:

Observe my hands, my dear. I could tear you to pieces with them. And I'd do it if it'd take Ashley out of your mind forever. But it wouldn't. So I'll remove him from your mind forever this way. I'll put my hand so. One on each side of your head. And I'll smash your skull between them like a walnut. That'll block him out.

SCARLETT:

Take your hands off me, you drunken fool.

RHETT:

You know, I've always admired your spirit, my dear.

Never more than now when you're cornered.

SCARLETT:

I'm not cornered. You'll never corner me, Rhett Butler, or frighten me. You've lived in dirt so long you can't understand anything else. And you're jealous of something you can't understand. Good night.

RHETT:

Jealous am I? Yes, I suppose I am. Even though I know you've been faithful to me all along. How do I know?

Because I know Ashley Wilkes and his honorable breed.

They're gentlemen. That's more than I can say for you and for me. We're not gentlemen. And we have no honor, have we?

Chapter 11 Losing of the Children (The next morning, Scarlett wakes up, quite delighted.)

SCARLETT:

(Sing) ...Oh, she went with delight when he gave her a smile, and trembled with yet his frown...

RHETT:

Hello. I, I'd like to extend my apology for my conduct of last night.

SCARLETT:

Oh, but Rhett...

RHETT:

I was very drunk and quite swept off my feet by your charms.

SCARLETT:

You needn't bother to apologize, nothing you ever do surprises me.
