Rhett Butler: So, you see I shall have to marry you.
Scarlett: I've never heard of such bad taste.
Rhett Butler: Would you be more convinced if I fell to my knees?
Scarlett: Turn me loose, you varmint, and get out of here!
Rhett Butler: Forgive me for startling you with the impetuosity of my sentiments, my dear Scarlett. I mean, my dear Mrs. Kennedy. But it cannot have escaped your notice that for some time past the friendship I have felt for you has ripened into a deeper feeling. A feeling more beautiful, more pure, more sacred. Dare I name it? Can it be love?
Scarlett: Get up off your knees! I don't like your common jokes!
Rhett Butler: This is an honorable proposal of marriage made at what I consider a most opportune moment. I can't go all my life waiting to catch you between husbands.
Scarlett: You're coarse, and you're conceited. And I think this conversation has gone far enough.

Rhett Butler: Would you satisfy my curiosity on a point which has bothered me for some time?
Scarlett: Well, what is it? Be quick!
Rhett Butler: Tell me, Scarlett, do you never shrink from marrying men you don't love?
Scarlett: How did you ever get out of jail? Why didn't they hang you?

Scarlett : [to Ashley] Dreams, dreams always dreams with you, never common sense.

Scarlett : You'd rather live with that silly little fool who can't open her mouth except to say "yes" or "no" and raise a passel of mealy-mouthed brats just like her.
Ashley : You mustn't say unkind things about Melanie.
Scarlett : Who are you to tell me I mustn't? You led me on... you made me believe you wanted to marry me.
Ashley : Now Scarlett, be fair. I never at any time...
Scarlett: You did, it's true, you did.

Scarlett: Atlanta!
Mammy: Savannah would be better for ya. You'd just get in trouble in Atlanta.
Scarlett: What trouble are you talking about?
Mammy: You know what trouble I's talkin' 'bout. I's talking 'bout Mr. Ashley Wilkes. He'll be comin' to Atlanta when he gets his leave, and you sittin' there waitin' for him, just like a spider. He belongs to Miss Melanie...
Scarlett: You go pack my things like Mother said.

Scarlett: Great balls of fire! HICCUP! It's Rhett!


--Vivien Leigh (as Scarlett O'Hara) in Gone with the Wind

Scarlett: Great balls of fire. Don't bother me anymore, and don't call me sugar.


--Vivien Leigh (as Scarlett O'Hara) in Gone with the Wind

Scarlett: I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow.


--Vivien Leigh (as Scarlett O'Hara) in Gone with the Wind

Scarlett: Oh Ashley, Ashley, I love you.
Ashley: Scarlett...
Scarlett: I love you, I do.


--Vivien Leigh (as Scarlett O'Hara) in Gone with the Wind

Scarlett: Ooh, if I just wasn't a lady, WHAT wouldn't I tell that varmint.
