Gone with the Wednesday: Rhett Said It (Part 2)

Quotes from Rhett Butler, Part 2:

“Would you satisfy my curiosity on a point which has bothered me for some time?….Tell me, Scarlett, do you never shrink from marrying men you don’t love?”

“And to think you could have had my millions if you’d just waited a bit longer. How fickle is woman.”

“What a woman!”

“You’re like the thief who isn’t the least bit sorry he stole, but is terribly, terribly sorry he’s going to jail.”

“You’ve been married to a boy and an old man. Why not marry one the right age, with a way with women?”

“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? ”

“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!”

“I want you to faint. This is what you were meant for. None of the fools you’ve ever know have kissed you like this, have they? Not your Charles, or your Frank, or your stupid Ashley. ”

“I’m very drunk and I intend on getting drunker before this evening’s over.”

“You have her duds ready or I warn you…I have always thought a good lashing with a buggy whip would benefit you immensely!”

“It seems we’ve been at cross purposes, doesn’t it? But it’s no use now. As long as there was Bonnie, there was a chance that we might be happy. I liked to think that Bonnie was you, a little girl again, before the war, and poverty had done things to you. She was so like you, and I could pet her, and spoil her, as I wanted to spoil you. But when she went, she took everything.”

“Take my hankerchief. Never at any crisis in your life have I known you to have a handkerchief.”

“Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.”
