1. Scarlett O'Hara: 一个猫一样的女人。有着猫一样的目光,猫一样的微笑,猫一样的步伐和猫一样的敏捷。在困难的时候敢于承担责任,虽然也有动摇,但最后仍然承担责任。她敢于去爱、无怨无悔,
她的整个青春都在爱着阿希礼,没有回报但她仍没有放弃努力,直到能力的极限为止。斯佳丽原本是一个弱女子,任性而年轻,第一次结婚是一时的冲动报复,嫁给了不爱的男孩,让自己成为了年轻的寡妇。第二次结婚是为了一家人的生存,抢走了妹妹的心上人,肯尼迪。最终为了斯佳丽差点遭受的侮辱去报复穷白人而被人击毙,不幸枉死。于是斯佳丽再次成为寡妇。为了答应过艾希礼照顾梅兰妮的一句承诺,在北军就要攻占亚特兰大的时候,斯佳丽又果断地替玫兰妮接生,并找到瑞特冲破重重阻碍和关卡,回到了乡下老家--塔拉庄园。在又饥又饿之时,她又遭受了母亲病亡、父亲痴呆、家里被劫,一穷二白的多重打击,她不屈不挠,带头种田干活,喝令妹妹下床摘棉花,并照顾梅兰妮和小波,支撑一家人的生计。
2. (1)Rhett Butler: 瑞特第一次见到斯佳丽是在十二像树园的烧烤会上。他注视斯佳丽并洞悉他与阿希礼的感情纠葛。斯佳丽因查尔斯病亡到亚特兰大散心,瑞特看出了正在服丧的她,内心里对无拘无束 自由生活的向往和憧憬的心思,并出重金替她撬开了那个压抑而沉闷的社会道德囚笼,使她走上了和别的南方女人最不相同的命运之路。战争打响,瑞特不遗余力帮助斯佳丽重返故里,并在即将要到达的时候,决定上战场,为保卫家园尽一份力。经过重重磨难,终于与斯嘉丽结成连理,在经历了丧女之痛和斯佳丽在精神上的背叛后,面对玫兰妮的死,对一切都灰心失望至极,回家收拾行李,返回自己的故乡,查尔斯顿。当愚蠢的斯佳丽最后发现自己已深爱瑞特时,才发现已最终失去了自己最心爱的人。瑞特最后走得十分干脆,让斯佳丽深感懊悔。
3. (1)Melanie Hamilton:她善良,仁慈又不乏勇气,具备南方的一切美德,有知识,有文化,有思想,有修养。斯佳丽摘棉花时,她想帮忙,斯佳丽杀人时她也帮忙,除了瑞特,她是斯佳丽的另一个支持者。
并且一直给予她帮助,也许她没有斯佳丽那种表面上的坚硬,但她处处展示着个性中的外柔内刚和纯真,不朽的执着。她的性格和斯嘉丽截然相反,也因此被斯嘉丽厌恶,然而她却无意中成了斯嘉丽的精神支柱,是她的温和沉稳支撑着斯嘉丽走过许多患难,也是她一反柔弱的秉性在斯嘉丽成为众矢之的的时候站出来为她说话。她对她爱的人给予毫无保留的信任和忠诚,也总是乐于帮助落难的陌生人——她家的地下室里住满了无家可归的流浪者;她总是毫无保留地救助从战场上回来的伤员;她永远把别人家的孩子当成自己的一般疼爱。
(2)Mammy: 斯佳丽的奶妈,温暖,可靠,安全。像母亲一样时刻保护她的孩子斯佳丽。理智,聪明,现实而且冷静,带一些黑人的狡猾。她懂斯佳丽,支持她,爱她,虽然没有多说什么,但是她
一直是斯佳丽的靠山,坚强有力。忠诚,固执,可爱。对自己的宝贝,那是不顾一切的去保护;虽然只是一个家奴,但她有自己所要维护的处事原则。
(3)Bonnie 凯特琳,5岁,女主和男主的女儿
(4)Voiceover
4.(1)Ashley Wilkes: 学识渊博,温文尔雅,具有贵族特有的骑士精神和荣誉感。他英俊的相貌和深邃的思想令斯嘉丽一见钟情。为了荣誉,他参加了一场他并不热衷的战争;战败,他放弃了逃跑的机会;
拒绝在战后用非法的手段发家致富,用翻惯了书页、抚惯了琴弦的手去劈木头。这就是艾希礼,他是那么从容、沉稳,可是他也是脆弱的。
(2)Frank: 女主的第二个老公
(3)Wilkenson: 想要乘机从女主手里低价购买女主家地的人
(4)NPC:
Chapter 7 Ashley Back Home
Voiceover:(Home from their lost adventure came the lattered Cavaliers. Grimly they came hobbling back to the desolation that had once been a land of grace and plenty.And with them came another invader, more cruel andvicious than any they had fought, the Carpetbagger.)
NPC: Katie Scarlett! It's over! It's over! It's all over,the war! We surrendered!
Mammy: It's not possible.
Mammy: Why did we ever fight?
Melanie: Ashely will be coming home.
Scarlett: Yes, Ashely will be coming home.We'll plantmore cotton.Cotton ought to go sky-high next year.
Melanie: Scarlett, what seems to be the trouble with Mr. Kennedy?
Scarlett: More trouble than he guesses. He's finallyasked for Sue Ellen's hand.
Melanie: Oh, I'm so glad.
Scarlett: It's a pity he can't marry her now. At leastbe one less mouth to feed.
(Scarlett, Melanie and Mammy stand in front of the door.A figure appears in the distance.)
Scarlett: Oh another one. I hope this one isn't hungry.
Mammy: Oh, he'll be hungry.
Scarlett: I'll tell Prissy to get an extra plate.
(It's Ashley! Melanie opens her arms, running to him.)
Melanie: Ashley! Ashley!
Mammy: Miss Scarlett! Don't spoil it. Miss Scarlett.
Scarlett: Turn me loose, you fool, turn me loose! It'sAshley.
Mammy: He's her husband, Auntie.
(Several days passed. One day, a Mammy comes to Scarlett.)
Mammy: Miss Scarlett Ma'am...
Scarlett: High time you got back. Did you get the horseshod?
Mammy: Yes'm, he shod all right. Miss Scarlett Ma'am.
Scarlett: Fine thing when a horse can get shoes andhumans can't. Here stir the soup.
Mammy: Miss Scarlett Ma'am, I've got to know howmuch money have you got left? In gold.
Scarlett: Ten dollars. Why?
Mammy: That won't be enough.
Scarlett: What in Heaven's name are you talkingabout?
Mammy: Well, Miss Scarlett, I see that old no-accountwhite trash, Wilkenson, that used to be Mister Jerry'soverseer here. He's a regular Yankee now, and he wasmaking a brag, that his carpet bagger friends done runthe taxes way up sky-high on Tara.
Scarlett: How much more do we gotta pay?
Mammy: I heard the tax man say three hundred dollars.
Scarlett: Three hundred... Oh, my, just as well be threemillion. Well, we gotta raise it, that's all.
Mammy: Yes'm. How?
Scarlett: I'll go ask Mr. Ashley.
Mammy: Oh, he ain't got no three hundred dollars. Miss Scarlett.
Scarlett: Well, I can ask him if I want to, can't I?
Mammy: Asking ain't getting.
(The Farm. Ashley is chopping wood.)
Scarlett: Ashely...
Ashley: They say Abe Lincoln got his start splitting rails.Just think what heights I may climb to once I get the knack.
Scarlett: Ashely. The Yankees want three hundred dollars more in taxes. What shall we do? Ashley, what's to become of us?
Ashley: What do you think becomes of people when their civilization breaks up? Those who have brains and courage come through all right. Those who haven't are winnowed out.
Scarlett: For Heaven's sake Ashley Wilkes. Don't stand there talking nonsense at me when it's us who are being winnowed out.
Ashley: You're right, Scarlett. Here I am talking tummy-rot about civilization, when your Tara's in danger.You come to me for help and I have no help to give you.Oh, Scarlett, I'm a coward.
Scarlett: You, Ashley, a coward? What are you afraid of?
Ashley: Oh, mostly of life becoming too real for me, Isuppose. Not that I mind splitting rails. But I do mind very much losing the beauty of that, that life I loved. If the war hadn't come, I'd have spent my life happily buried at Twelve Oaks. But the war did come. I saw my boyhood friends blown to bits. I saw men crumple3 up in agony when I shot them. And now I find myself in a world which for me is worse than death. A world in which there is no place for me. Oh, I can never make you understand, because you don't know the meaning of fear. You never mind facing realities. And you never want to escape from them as I do.
Scarlett: Escape? Oh, Ashley you're wrong. I do want to escape, too. I'm so very tired of it all. I've struggled for food and for money and I've weeded and hoed and picked cotton until I can't stand it another minute. I tell you, Ashley, the South is dead, it's dead. The Yankees and the carpet baggers have got it and there's nothing left for us. Oh, Ashley, let's run away. We'd go to Mexico. They want officers in the Mexican army, we could be so happy there. Ashley I'd work for you, I'd do anything for you. You know you don't love Melanie, you told me you loved me that day at Twelve Oaks, and anyway, Melanie can't...Dr. Meade told me she couldn't ever have any more children. And I could give you...
Ashley: Can't we ever forget that day at Twelve Oaks?
Scarlett: Just think I could ever forget it, have you forgotten it? Can you honestly say you don't love me?
Ashley: No, I ...I don't love you.
Scarlett: It's a lie.
Ashley: Even if it is a lie, do you think that I could go off and leave Melanie and the baby? Break Melanie's heart? Scarlett,are you mad? You couldn't leave your father and the girls.
Scarlett: I could leave them, I'm sick of them, I'm tired of them...
Ashley: Yes, you sick and tired, that's why you're talking this way. You've carried the load for all of us. But from now on, I'm going to be more help to you, I promise.
Scarlett: There's only one way you can help me. Take me away. There's nothing to keep us here.
Ashley: Nothing...nothing except honor. Please Scarlett, please dear, you mustn't cry. Please, my brave dear, you mustn't...
Scarlett: You do love me, you do love me...
Ashley: No, don't, don't!
Scarlett: You love me!
Ashley: We won't do this, I tell you, we won't do it. It won't happen again, I'm going to take Melanie and the baby and go.
Scarlett: Just say that you love me.
Ashley: All right, I'll say it. I love your courage and your stubbornness. I love them so much that a moment ago I could have forgotten the best wife a man ever had. But Scarlett, I'm not going to forget her.

Chapter 8 Raising of the Tax
Voiceover:(Wilkenson, Mr. O'Hara's exoverseer, comes to Tara with his newly married wife. They intend to buy Tara, for they know the "turbulence Tara now is in.)
Scarlett: Stop!
Wilkenson: You haven't forgotten your old overseer, have you? Huh? Well, Emmy is Mrs. Wilkenson now...
Scarlett: Get off those steps, you trashy wench. Get off this land!
Wilkenson: You can't speak that way to my wife.
Scarlett: Why? High time you made her your wife. Who baptized your other brats after you killed my mother?
Wilkenson: We came out here to pay a call. A friendly call, and talk a little business with old friends.
Scarlett: Friends. When were we ever friends with the likes of you?
Wilkenson: Still high and mighty ain't you? Well, I know all about you. I know your father's turned idiot. You can't pay your taxes. And I come out to offer to buy the place from you. To make you a right good offer. Emmy's got a hankering to live here.
Scarlett: Get off this place, you dirty Yankee!
Wilkenson: You bumtrucking,highflying Irish will find out who's running things around here when you get sold out for taxes. I'll buy this place, lock, stock and barrel and I'll live in it. But I'll wait for the sheriff's sale.
Scarlett: That's all of Tara you'll ever get.
(Scarlett throws the ball to Wilkenson's face. of soil which Ashyley put in her hand.)
Wilkenson: You'll be sorry for that. We'll be back!
Voiceover:(Mr. O'Hara mounts his horse. In a fame of anger, he tries to cut the way and catch the Wilkensons.Mr. O'Hara falls down to the ground. He never rises again.Days after...)
Scarlett: Oh, Mammy, Mammy.
Mammy: You've been brave so long, Miss Scarlett. You just got to go on being brave. Think about your Paw, like he used to be.
Scarlett: I can't think about Paw. I can't think of anything but that three hundred dollars.
Mammy: Ain't no good thinking about that. Miss Scarlett. Ain't nobody got that much money. Nobody but that Yankee's and the scallow-wags got that much money now.
Scarlett: Rhett!
Mammy: Who that? A Yankee?
Scarlett: Oh, Mammy, I'm so thin and pale and...I haven't any clothes. Mammy,go and get down Ma's old box of dress patterns.
Mammy: What are you up to in Miss Ellen's fortier?
Scarlett: You're going to make me a new dress!
Mammy: Not with Miss Ellen's fortier, not while I got breath in my body!
Scarlett: Great balls of fire, they're my fortiers now. I'm going to Atlanta for that three hundred dollars, and I've got to go looking like a queen.
Mammy: Who's going to Atlanta with you?
Scarlett: I'm going alone.
Mammy: That's what you think. I'm going to Atlanta with you, with you and that new dress.
Scarlett: Now Mammy darling...
Mammy: No use to try and sweet talk me Miss Scarlett, I knows you ever since I put the first pair of diapers on you. I says I was going to Atlanta with you, and going I is!
(Atlanta prison. Rhett Butler and the prison Major are playing cards at a table.)
NPC: Sir, there's a lady to see Captain Butler. Says she's your sister.
NPC: Another sister? This is a jail, not a "'harem, Captain Butler.
NPC:No, Major, she ain't one of those. This one's got her Mammy with her.
Rhett: She has? I'd like to see this one, Major, without her Mammy.
NPC: Hmm...
Rhett: Let's see, my losses for the afternoon come to what? Hmm...three hundred and fourty. My debts do mount up, don't they, Major?
NPC: All right, Corporal. Show Captain Butler's sister to his cell.
Rhett: Thank you, Major...excuse me, gentlemen.
NPC: It's hard to be strict with a man who loses money so pleasantly.
(In the jail. Scarlett appears, dressing in beautiful green velvet.)
Scarlett: Rhett!
Rhett: Scarlett! My dear little sister. (to Corporal) It's all right Corporal, my sister has brought me now files or saws. Can I really kiss you now?
Scarlett: On the forehead like a good brother.
Rhett: No thanks, I'll wait and hope for better things.
Scarlett: Oh, Rhett, I was so distressed when I heard you were in jail. I simply couldn't sleep for thinking. It's not true they're going to hang you.
Rhett: Would you be sorry?
Scarlett: Oh, Rhett...
Rhett: Well, don't worry. Yeah, The Yankees have trumped up some charge against me but what they're really after is my money. They seem to think I made off with a Confederate treasury.
Scarlett: Well, did you?
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.
Voiceover:(Rhett grasps Scarlett's hands. And suddenly, he reads the callous skin of her hands. This is a pair of hard-working hands.)
Rhett: 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...
Rhett: Not interested.
Scarlett: Mortgage on Tara...
Rhett: What would I do with a farm?
Scarlett: You wouldn't lose, I'd pay you back after next year's cotton.
Rhett: Not good enough. Have you nothing better?
Scarlett: You once said you loved me. If you still love me, Rhett...
Rhett: You haven't forgotten that I'm not a marrying man.
Scarlett: No. I haven't forgotten.
Rhett: You're not worth three hundred dollars. You'll never mean anything but misery to any man.
Scarlett: Go on, insult me, I don't care what you say, only give me the money! I won't let Tara go, I can't let it go while there's a breath left in my body. Oh, Rhett, won't you please give me the money?
Rhett: I couldn't give you the money if I wanted to. My funds are in Liverpool, not in Atlanta. If I tried drawing a draft, the Yankees would be on me like a duck on a junebug. So you see my dear, you've abased yourself to no purpose. Stop it! You want the Yankees to see like this?
Scarlett: Take your hands off me, you dunk! You know what I am going to say before I started. You knew you wouldn't lend me the money and yet, and yet, you let me go on.
Rhett: I enjoyed hearing what you had to say. Cheer up, you can come to my hanging and I'll remember you in my will.
Scarlett: I'll come to your hanging. The only thing I'm afraid of is they won't hang you in time to pay the taxes on Tara.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 9 Scarlett's Second Marriage
Voiceover:(Scarlett leaves the jail in burning anger. But the visit of Scarlett and her new dress to Atlanta is not a complete futility. She meets Frank Kennedy, Sue Ellen's beau.)
Frank: Surely it can't be Miss Scarlett!
Scarlett: Why, Frank Kennedy!
Frank: And Mammy...
Mammy: It sure is good to see home folks.
Frank: I didn't know you were in Atlanta.
Scarlett: I didn't know you were.
Frank: Didn't Miss Sue Ellen tell you about my store?
Scarlett: Did she, I don't remember. Have you a store? This?
Frank: Won't you come in, look around a bit? (Into the store) I don't suppose it looks like much to a lady, but I can't help being proud of it.
Scarlett: You're not making money?
Frank: Well, I can't complain. In fact I'm mighty encouraged. Folks tell me I'm just a born merchant. It won't be long now before Miss Sue Ellen and I can marry.
Scarlett: Well , you're doing as well as all that?
Frank: Yes, I am. Miss Scarlett. I'm no millionaire yet, but I have cleared a thousand dollars already.
Scarlett: And lumber too.
Frank: Well, that's only a sideline.
Scarlett: A sideline, Frank? With all the good Georgia pine around Atlanta, and all this building going on?
Frank: Well, all that takes money, Miss Scarlett, and, I got to be thinking about buying a home.
Scarlett: What would you want a home for?
Frank: For Miss Sue Ellen and me to set up housekeeping.
Scarlett: Here in Atlanta. You'd want to bring her to Atlanta, wouldn't you? There wouldn't be much help in that for Tara.
Frank: I don't rightly know what you mean, Miss Scarlett.
Scarlett: I don't mean a thing. Frank, how'd you like to drive me out to my Aunt Pitty's?
Frank: Oh, nothing could give me more pleasure, Miss Scarlett.
Scarlett: I think you'd better stay for supper, too. I'm sure Aunt Pitty would be agreeable and I know I'd like a good long visit with you.
Frank: Oh, you act on me just like a tonic, Miss Scarlett. And will you tell me all the news, all the news of Miss Sue Ellen? What's the matter, Miss Scarlett? Miss Sue Ellen's not ill, is she?
Scarlett: Oh, no, no. I thought surely she had written you. I guess she was ashamed to write to you. She should be ashamed. Oh how awful to have such a mean sister.
Frank: You must tell me, Miss Scarlett. Don't leave me on the tenderhooks.
Scarlett: Well, she's going to marry one of the county boys next month. She just got tired of waiting and was afraid she'd be an old maid and...Oh, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you. Oh, it's cold, and I left my muff at home. Would you mind if I put my hand in your pocket?
Voiceover:(Scarlett returns to Tara as Mrs. Kennedy, with 300 dollars, to face Sue Ellen's broken heart and the astonishment of the other people.)
(In the living room.)
Ashley: It's all my fault. I should have commited highway robbery to get that tax money for you.
Scarlett: I couldn't let you do anything like that, and anyway, it's done now.
Ashley: Yes, it's done now. You wouldn't let me do anything dishonorable yet you'd sell yourslef in marraige to a man you didn't love. Well, at least you won't have to worry about my helplessness anymore.
Scarlett: What do you mean?
Ashley: I'm going to New York..I've arranged to get a position in a bank there.
Scarlett: But you can't do that! I've counted on you to help me start a lumber business Ashley and, I counted on you.
Ashley: Scareltt, I wouldn't be any good to you, I don't know anything about the lumber business.
Scarlett: You know as much as you do about banking, and I'd give you half the business Ashley.
Ashley: That's generous of you Scarlett. But it isn't that. If I go to Atlanta and take help from you again, I'd bury forever any hope of standing alone.
Scarlett: Oh, is that all? Well, you could gradually buy the business, and then it would be your own, and then...
Ashley: No Scarlett.
Scarlett: Oh,Ashley! Ashley!
(Melanie walkes in.)
Melanie: Scarlett. Scarlett, what is it?
Scarlett: Ashely is so mean and hateful.
Melanie: (to Ashley )What have you done?
Ashley: She, she wanted me to go to Atlanta.
Scarlett: To help me start me my lumber business, and he won't lift a finger to help me.
Melanie: Why how unchivalrous of you. Why think, Ashley, think. If it hadn't of been for Scarlett, I'd have died in Atlanta, and maybe we wouldn't have had little Beau, and, when I think of picking cotton and plowing just to keep food in our mouths, I could just, oh, my darling!
Ashley: All right, Melanie. I'll go to Atlanta. I can't fight you both.
Voiceover:(Months passed. The lumber business is a great success. But good times don't last long. Frank Kennedy died in a fight against some tramps, for their insult on Scarlett.Scarlett is very sad.)
Mammy: Miss Scarlett. Captain Butler here to see you.I told him you was prostrate with grief.
Scarlett: Tell him, tell him I'll be right down, Mammy.
(Downstairs.)
Mammy: She says she's coming. I don't know why she's coming, but she's a-coming.
Rhett: You don't like me Mammy. Now don't you argue with me, you don't, you really don't like me.
(Scarlett comes down, and shows Rhett into the living room.)
Rhett: It's no good, Scarlett.
Scarlett: what?
Rhett: The cologne.
Scarlett: I'm sure I don't know what you mean.
Rhett: I mean you've been drinking. Brandy. Quite a lot.
Scarlett: Well, what if I had? Is that any of your affair?
Rhett: Don't drink alone, Scarlett. People always find out. And it ruins reputation. What is it? This is more than losing old Frank.
Scarlett: Oh, Rhett. I am so afraid.
Rhett: I don't believe it. You've never been afraid in your life.
Scarlett: I'm afraid now. I'm afraid of dying, of going to Hell.
Rhett: You look pretty healthy. And maybe there isn't any Hell.
Scarlett: Oh, there is. I know there is. I was raised on it.
Rhett: Well, far be it for me to question the teachings of childhood. Tell me what you've done that Hell yawns before you.
Scarlett: I ought never to have married Frank to begin with. He was Sue Ellen's beau and he loved her not me.And I made him miserable. And I killed him. Yes, I did, I'd killed him. Oh, Rhett. For the first time, I'm finding out what it is to feel sorry for something I've done.
Rhett: Here, dry your eyes. If you had it to do all over again, you'd do it no differently. You're like the thief who isn't the least bit sorry he stole but he's terribly, terribly sorry he's going to jail.
Scarlett: I'm glad ma is dead. I'm glad she's dead so she can't see me. I always wanted to be like her, calm and kind and...and suddenly I've turned out disappointing.
Rhett: You know what, Scarlett? I think you're on the verge of a crying jag. So I'll change the subject and say what I came to say.
Scarlett: Say it, then get out! What is it?
Rhett: That I can't go on any longer without you.
Scarlett: Oh, you really are the most ill-bred man to come here at a time like this...
Rhett: I made up my mind you were the only woman for me, Scarlett, the first day I saw you at Twelve Oaks. Now that you've got your lumber mill and Frank's money, you won't come to me as you did at the jail. So I see I shall have to marry you.
Scarlett: I never heard of such bad taste.
Rhett: Would you be more convinced if I fell to my knees?
Scarlett: Turn me loose, you varlet and get out of here.
Rhett: 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: This is an honorable proposal of marraige, made in 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's gone far enough. Besides, I shall never marry again.
Rhett: Oh yes, you will. And you'll marry me.
Scarlett: You...you? I don't love you. And I don't like being married.
Rhett: Did you ever think of marrying just for fun?
Rhett: Oh yes, you will. And you'll marry me.
Scarlett: You...you? I don't love you. And I don't like being married.
Rhett: Did you ever think of marrying just for fun?
Scarlett: Marriage, fun? Fiddle-dee- dee. Fun for men you mean. Hush, do you want them to hear you outside?
Rhett: You've been married to a boy and an old man. Why not try a husband at the right age? With a way with women?
Scarlett: You're a fool, Rhett Butler. When you know I shall always love another man.
Rhett: Stop it. You hear me Scarlett, stop it. No more of that talk.
Scarlett: Rhett don't, I shall faint.
Rhett: And I want you to faint. This is what you were meant for. None of the fools you've ever known have kissed you like this, have they? Your Charles or your Frank or your stupid Ashley. Say you're going to marry me. Say yes. Say yes.
Scarlett: Yes.
Rhett: Are you sure you meant it? You don't want to take it back?
Scarlett: No.

Rhett: She's a beautiful baby The most beautiful baby ever...yes... do you know that this is your birthday? That you're a week old today? Yes...I'm going to buy her a pony the likes of which this town has never seen. Yes, I'm going to send you to the best schools in Charleston...yes, and I'll be received by the best families in the South. And when it comes time for her to marry, well, she'll be a little princess.
Scarlett: Certainly you are making a fool of yourself.
Rhett: Why shouldn't I? She's the first person who's ever completely belonged to me.
Scarlett: Great balls of fire. I had the baby, didn't I?
(Knock at the door.)
Melanie: It's Melanie, may I come in?
Scarlett: Come in, Mellie.
Rhett: Yes, come in and look at my daughter's beautiful blue eyes.
Melanie: But Captain Butler, most babies have blue eyes when they're born.
Scarlett: Don't try and tell him anything, Mellie, he knows everything about babies.
Rhett: Nevertheless, her eyes are blue and they're going to stay blue.
Melanie: As blue as the Bonnie blue flag.
Rhett: That's it. That's what we'll call her. Bonnie Blue Butler.
(In the bedroom, Scarlett is having Mammy measure her waist.)
Scarlett: Try again Mammy.
Mammy: Twenty inches.
Scarlett: Twenty inches? I've grown as big as Aunt Pitty. You've simply got to make it eighteen and a half again, Mammy.
Mammy: You done had a baby, Miss Scarlett. And you ain't never going to be no eighteen and a half inches again. Never. And there ain't nothing to do about it.
Scarlett: There is something to do about it. I'm just not going to get old and fat before my time. I just won't have any more babies.
Mammy: I heard Mr. Rhett said that he'd be wanting to have a son next year.
Scarlett: Go tell Captain Butler I decided not to go out after all. I'll have supper in my room.
Voiceover:(Scarlett sits motionless in the chair, fixing her eyes on a picture. It is a picture ofAshley. Then Rhett comes in. Scarlett hurrily turns the picture upside down.)
Rhett: I got your message. I'll have them bring my supper up here too. No objections to that, I hope.
Scarlett: No...yes, I...I mean I don't care where you have your supper. Rhett?
Rhett: Yes?
Scarlett: You see...well, I've decided-well, I hope I don't have any more children.
(Rhett notices the picture ofAshley.)
Rhett: My pet, as I told you before Bonnie was born. It is immaterial to me whether you have one child or twenty.
Scarlett: I know, but do you know what I...do you know what I mean?
Rhett: I do. And do you know I can divorce you for this?
Scarlett: You're just low enough to think of something like that. If you had any chivalry in you, you'd be nice, like...well look at Ashley Wilkes. Melanie can't have anymore children and he...he...
Rhett: You've been to the lumber office this afternoon, haven't you?
Scarlett: What does that got to do with it?
Rhett: Quite the little gentlemen,Ashley Pray, go on, Mrs. Butler.
Scarlett: It's no use. You wouldn't understand.
Rhett: You know, I'm sorry for you, Scarlett.
Scarlett: Sorry for me?
Rhett: Yes, sorry for you because you're throwing away happiness with both hands. And reaching out for something that will never make you happy.
Scarlett: I don't know what you're talking about.
Rhett: If you were free and Miss Mellie were dead, and you had your precious, honorable Ashley, do you think you'd be happy with him? You'd never know him. Never even understand his mind. Any more than you understand anything. Except money.
Scarlett: Never mind about that. What I want to know is...
Rhett: You may keep your sanctity Scarlett. It'll work no hardship on me.
Scarlett: Do you mean to say you don't care?
Rhett: The world is full of many things and many people. And I'm not a shant bit lonely... I'll find comfort elsewhere.
Scarlett: Well, that's fine. But I warn you just in case you change your mind... I intend to lock my door.
Rhett: Why bother. If I wanted to come in no lock could keep me out.
(In the lumber mill, Scarlett comes to see Ashley.)
Ashley: Why Scarlett. What are you doing downtown this time of day?
Scarlett: Why Ashely, I just...
Ashley: Why aren't you helping Mellie get ready for my surprise birthday party?
Scarlett: Why Ashley Wilkes. You aren't supposed to know anything about that. Melanie'd be so disappointed you weren't surprised.
Ashley: I won't let her down. I'll be the most suprised man in Atlanta. Well as long as you're here, let me show you the books. So you can see just how bad a businessman I really am.
Scarlett: Oh, don't let's fool with any books today. When I'm wearing a new bonnet, all the figures I ever knew go right slab out of my head.
Ashley: The figures are well lost when the bonnet's as pretty as that one. Scariett, you know you get prettier all the time.You haven't changed a bit since the day of our last barbecue at Twelve Oaks. When you sat under a tree surrounded by dozens ofbeaus.
Scarlett: That girl doesn't exist any more. Nothing's turned out as I expected. Ashley, nothing.
Ashley: Yes, we've travelled a long road since the old days, haven't we, Scariett? All the lazy days...and the warm, still, country twilight...the high soft Negro laughter from the quarters...the golden warmth, and security of those days.
Scarlett: Don't look back, Ashley Don't look back. It drags at your heart till...till you can't do anything but look back.
Ashley: I didn't mean to make you sad my dear. I never want you to be anything but completely happy.
Voiceover:(Ashley hugs sad Scariett. Mrs.Meade and India happen to enter the room. Seeing this, they leave, wordless and disgusted. Scariett is now back at home, lying in the bed.)
Scarlett: Oh, Ashely…Who is it?
Rhett: Only your husband.
Scarlett: Come in.
Rhett: Am I actually being invited into the sanctuary? You're not ready for Melanie's party?
Scarlett: I've got a headache, Rhett. You go without me and make my excuses to Melanie.
Rhett: What a wheg-livered little coward you are. Get up. You're going to that party and you'll have to hurry.
Scarlett: Has India...
Rhett: Yes, my dear, India has, every woman in town knows the story and every man, too.
Scarlett: You should have killed them for spreading lies.
Rhett: I have a strange way of not killing people who tell the truth. No time to argue, now get up.
Scarlett: I won't go! I can't go until this misunderstanding is cleared up.
Rhett: You're not going to cheat Miss Melanie out of the satisfaction of publicly ordering you out of her house.
Scarlett: There was nothing wrong. India hates me, so I can't go, Rhett. I couldn't face her.
Rhett: If you don't show your face tonight, you'll never be able to show it in this town as long as you live. And while that wouldn't bother me, you're not going to ruin Bonnie's chances. You're going to that party if only for her sake. Now get dressed. Now wear that. Nothing modest or matronly will do for this occasion. And put on plenty of rouge. I want you to look your part tonight.
(At the door of the Wilkes'.)
Rhett: Good night, Scarlett.
Scarlett: But Rhett, you can't...
Rhett: You go into the area alone. The lions are hungry for you.
Scarlett: Oh, Rhett, don't leave me, don't!
Rhett: You're not afraid.
Voiceover:(Ashley's birthday party is going on. As Scarlett shows at the door, people in the room stop singing. Melanie pretends to notice nothing and goes to greet Scarlett calmly.)
Melanie: What a lovely dress, Scarlett darling! India wasn't able to come tonight. Will you be an angel? I do need you to help me receive my guests. Mrs. Meade, here's our darling Scarlett.
NPC: Good evening.
Scarlett: Good evening.
NPC: Why, Scarlett, good evening.
Ashley: Good evening, Miss Scarlett.
Melanie: Ashely, aren't you going to get our Scarlett a glass of punch?
(Scarlett in her room.)
Mammy: Did you have a good time tonight at Miss Mellie's party child?
Scarlett: Yes, yes. Now Mammy be sure and leave word. If Captian Butler asks for me when he comes back, I'm asleep.
Melanie: Yes'm.
Voiceover:(Scarlett can not fall asleep, so many things happen, she sneaks downstairs and wants to have a drink. And she finds Rhett is already there, half-drunk.)
Rhett: Come here. Sit down. There's no reason why you shouldn't have your '"nightcap even if I am here.
Scarlett: I didn't want to drink. I heard a noise and...
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 conceire 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'tunderstand. 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 ll 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.
Rhett: Scarlett, I've been thinking things over and I really believe it'd be better for both of us, if we admitted we made a mistake and got a divorce.
Scarlett: A divorce?
Rhett: Yes. There's no point in our holding onto each other, is there? I've provided for you amply. You've plenty of grounds. Just give me Bonnie and you can say what you please and I won't contest it.
Scarlett: Thank you very much, but I wouldn't dream of disgracing the family with a divorce.
Rhett: You'd disgrace it quick enough if Ashley were free. It makes my head spin to think of how quickly you'd divorce me. Wouldn't you, Scarlett? Well answer me.Wouldn't you?
Scarlett: Will you please go now and leave me alone.
Rhett: Yes, I'm going, that's what I came to tell you. I am going on a very extended trip to London, and I'm leaving today.
Scarlett: Oh...
Rhett: And I'm taking Bonnie with me. So you'll please get her little duds packed right away.
Scarlett: You'll never take my child out of this house.
Rhett: She's my child, too, Scarlett. And you're making a mistake if you think I'm leaving her here with a mother who hasn't the decency to consider her own reputation.
Scarlett: You're a fine one to talk. You think I let that child get out of this house when you'll probably have her around with people like, like that Belle?
Rhett: If you were a man, I'd break your neck for that.As it is. I'll thank you to shut your stupid mouth. And as for you giving yourself pious airs about your motherhood,why a cat's a better mother than you are. You have her things packed packed ready for me in an hour, or I warn you, I've always thought a good lashing with a buggy whip would benefit you immensely.
(One month later, Rhett Bulter is back from London after a long departure.)
Mammy: Miss Scarlett! Captain Butler! Miss Scarlett! Honey child!
Bonnie: Come on Mammy! Mammy!
Mammy: Miss Scarlett, she's back. She's back, Miss Scarlett!
Scarlett: Bonnie! Bonnie! Bonnie..Bonnie baby...darling baby...you glad to be home?
Bonnie: Daddy gave me a kitten! Oh, London's a horrible place. Where's my pony? I want to go out and see my pony.
Scarlett: You go out and see your pony.
Rhett: Mrs. Butler, I believe.
Scarlett: Mammy said you'd come back.
Rhett: But only to bring Bonnie. Apparently any mother, even a bad one is better than a child with none.
Scarlett: You mean you're going away again?
Rhett: What perception Mrs. Butler. Right away In fact, I left my bags at the station. You're looking pale. Is there a shortage of rouge? Or can this wonders mean you've been missing me?
Scarlett: If I'm pale, it's your fault. Not because I've been missing you, but because...
Rhett: Pray continue, Mrs. Butler.
Scarlett: It's because I'm going to have a baby.
Rhett: Indeed? And who's the happy father?
Scarlett: You know it's yours. I don't want it any more than you do. No woman would want the child of a cad like you. I wish it were, I wish it were anybody's child but yours!
Rhett: Well, cheer up. Maybe you'll have an accident.
Voiceover:(In great anger, Scarlett throws herself to Rhett. But she loses her balance on the slippery floor and falls all the way down the stairs. Days later, newly recovered from the unexpected accident and a resulting miscarriage, Scarlett sits in a chair on a balcony. Rhett comes.)
Mammy: Miss Scarlett's feeling a heap better today, Mr.Rhett.
Rhett: Thank you. I've come to ask your forgiveness. In the hope that we can give our life together another chance.
Scarlett: Our life together? When did we ever have a life together?
Rhett: I guess you're right. But I'm sure if we could only try again,we could be happy.
Scarlett: What is there to make us happy now?
Rhett: Well there's, there's Bonnie and, and I love you, Scarlett.
Scarlett: When did you discover that?
Rhett: I've always loved you. But you've never given me a chance to show it.
Scarlett: Well, then just what do you want me to do ?
Rhett: To begin with, give up the mill, Scarlett. We'll go away. We'll take Bonnie with us and we'll have another honeymoon.
Scarlett: Give up the mill? Well why should I, it's making more money than it ever did.
Rhett: Yes, I know, but we don't need it. Sell it. Or better still, give it to Ashley. Melanie has been such a friend to both of us.
Scarlett: Melanie, always Melanie. If you'd only think a little more about me.
Rhett: I am thinking of you. And I'm thinking that, well, that maybe it's the mill that's taking you away from me.And from Bonnie.
Scarlett: I know what you're thinking. And don't try and bring Bonnie into this. You're the one who's taking her away from me.
Rhett: But she loves you.
Scarlett: You've done everything possible to make her love you and not me. Why, she's so spoiled now, that...
Bonnie: Mommy, Daddy, watch me!
Scarlett: We're watching, darling! You're mighty pretty precious.
Bonnie: : So are you! I'm going to jump. Watch me,Daddy.
Rhett: I don't think you ought to do much jumping yet,Bonnie. Rememeber you just learned to ride side-saddle.
Bonnie: I will so jump. I can jump better than ever, cuz I've grown, and I've moved the bar higher...
Scarlett: Don't let her do it, Rhett...
Rhett: No, Bonnie, you can't... Well if you fall off, don't cry and blame me!
Scarlett: Rhett, stop her.
Rhett: Bonnie! Bonnie!
Scarlett: Just like Paw… Just like Paw!
Rhett: Bonnie! Bonnie! Bonnie!
Voiceover:(Bonnie died. Like her grandfather, she falls over from the horse to the ground. With her, she takes many things......)
-------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 12 Tara, Land of Hope
Voiceover:(Melanie is seriously sick. She knows there is not much time left for her, and begs to see Scarlett.)
Scarlett: It's me, Mellie.
Melanie: Promise me. Ashley...Ashley and you...
Scarlett: What about...Ashley, Mellie?
Melanie: Look after him for me. Just as you looked after me for him.
Scarlett: I will, Mellie.
Melanie: Look after him. But never let him know.
Scarlett: Good night.
Melanie: Promise?
Scarlett: What else, Mellie?
Melanie: Captain Butler...be kind to him...he loves you so...
Scarlett: Yes, Mellie.
Voiceover:(Melanie passes away. Scarlett comforts the heart-broken Ashley, neglecting the existence of Rhett Butler, who couldn't bear to see the scene, leaves. But suddenly Scarlett sees the fact, she doesn't love Ashley anymore.So she goes to look for Rhett everywhere.)
Scarlett: Rhett, wait for me! Rhett, wait for me! Rhett! Rhett!
(Outside the restroom.)
Rhett: Come in.
Scarlett: Rhett!
Rhett: Melanie, she's...well. God rest her. She was the only completely kind person I ever knew. Great lady. A very great lady. Though she's dead. That makes it nice for you, doesn't it?
Scarlett: Oh, how can you say such things. You know how I loved her really.
Rhett: No, I don't know that I do. But at least it's to your credit that you could appreciate her at the end.
Scarlett: Of course I appreciated her. She thought of everybody except herself. Why her last words were about you.
Rhett: What did she say?
Scarlett: She said, be kind to Captian Butler, he loves you so.
Rhett: Did she say anything else?
Scarlett: She said, she asked me to look after Ashley too.
Rhett:It's convenient to have the first wife's permission, isn't it?
Scarlett: What do you mean? What are you doing?
Rhett: I'm leaving you, my dear. All you need now is a divorce and your dreams of Ashley can come true.
Scarlett: No! No, you're wrong! Terribly wrong! I don't want a divorce. Oh Rhett, when I knew tonight, when I knew I loved you, I ran home to tell you, oh darling, darling!
Rhett: Please don't go on with this. Leave us some dignity to remember out of our marriage. Spare us this last.
Scarlett: This last? Oh Rhett, do listen to me. I must have loved you for years only I was such a stupid fool I didn't know it. Please believe me.You must care! Mellie said you did!
Rhett: I believe you. But what about Ashley Wilkes?
Scarlett: I......I never really loved Ashley.
Rhett: You certainly gave a good imitation of it up to this morning. Oh, Scarlett, I tried everything. If you'd only met me halfway, even when I came back from London...
Scarlett: I was so glad to see you, I was Rhett, but, but you were so nasty!
Rhett: And then when you were sick. And it was all my fault. I hoped and against hope that you'd call for me.But you didn't.
Scarlett: I wanted you. I wanted you desperately, but I didn't think you wanted me!
Rhett: It seems we've been at crossed purposed, doessn't it. But it's no use now. As long as there was Bonnie there was a chance we might be happy. I like 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.
Scarlett: Oh, Rhett, Rhett, please don't say that. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for everything.
Rhett: My darling, you're such a child. You think that by saying I'm sorry, all the past can be corrected. Here, take my handkerchief. Never in any crisis of your life have I known you to have a handkerchief.
Scarlett: Rhett, Rhett where are you going?
Rhett: I'm going to Charleston. Back where I belong.
Scarlett: Please, please take me with you.
Rhett: No. I'm through with everything here. I want peace. I want to see if somewhere if there is something left in life with charm and grace. Do you know what I'm talking about?
Scarlett: No. I only know that I love you.
Rhett: That's your misfortune.
Scarlett: Rhett! If you go, where shall I go? What shall I do?
Rhett: Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.
Scarlett: I can't let him go. I can't. There must be some way to bring him back. Oh, I can't think about that now. I'll go crazy if I do, I...I'll think about it tomorrow. I must think about it. I must think about it. What is there to do? What is there that matters?
( The words other father and Ashley thunder in her ear.)
Mr. O'HARA:(混响) You mean to tell me, Katie Scarlett O'Hara, that Tara doesn't mean anything to you? That land is the only thing that matters. It's the only thing that lasts.
Ashley:(混响) Something you love better than me, though you may not know it.
Ashley: (混响) Tara, it's this from where you get your strength.
Mr. O'HARA:(混响) That land's the only thing that matters, it's the only thing that lasts.
Ashley:(混响) Something you love better than me, though you may not know it, Tara.Tara, the red earth of Tara.
Ashley: ...From which you get your strength...
Mr. O'HARA:(混响) Lands the only thing that matters...
Ashley: something you love better than me...
Mr. O'HARA plus Ashley: ...the red earth of Tara...Tara!... Tara!... Tara!
Scarlett: Tara! Home. I'll go home. And I'll think of some way to get him back. After all, tomorrow is another day!
