Mammy: He went out and shot that poor pony, and, for a minute, I thought he was gonna shoot himself.
Scarlett: Dreams, dreams always dreams with you, never common sense.
Rhett Butler: You go into the arena alone. The lions are hungry for you.
Scarlett: I only know that I love you. Rhett Butler: That's your misfortune.
Scarlett: But you are a blockade runner. Rhett Butler: For profit, and profit only. Scarlett:Are you tryin' to tell me you don't believe in the cause? Rhett Butler: I believe in Rhett Butler, he's the only cause I know.
Rhett Butler: Take a good look my dear. It's an historic moment you can tell your grandchildren about - how you watched the Old South fall one night.
Rhett Butler:You're like the thief who isn't the least bit sorry he stole, but is terribly, terribly sorry he's going to jail.
Scarlett: Tara! Home. I'll go home. And I'll think of some way to get him back. After all... tomorrow is another day.
Scarlett: As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again.
Scarlett: Sir, you are no gentleman. Rhett Butler: And you, Miss, are no lady.
Scarlett:Rhett, if you go, where shall I go? What shall I do? Rhett Butler:Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
Scarlett: I can shoot straight, if I don't have to shoot too far.
Rhett Butler:A cat's a better mother than you.
Rhett Butler: No, I don't think I will kiss you, although you need kissing, badly. That's what's wrong with you. You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how.
Gerald O'Hara: It will come to you, this love of the land. There's no gettin' away from it if you're Irish.
Rhett Butler: Now that you've got your lumber mill and Frank's money, you won't come to me as you did to the jail, so I see I shall have to marry you. Scarlett: I never heard of such bad taste.
Scarlett: I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow.
Scarlett:Great balls of fire. Don't bother me anymore, and don't call me sugar.
Rhett Butler: I'm very drunk and I intend on getting still drunker before this evening's over.
Rhett Butler:How fickle is woman.
Rhett Butler: With enough courage, you can do without a reputation.
Rhett Butler: I can't go all my life waiting to catch you between husbands.
