Gone with the Wind Page #5
(Rhett Butler leaves the hall.)
MAN:
Well, that's just about what you could expect from
somebody like Rhett Butler.
Mr. O'HARA
You did everything but call him out.
CHARLES:
He refused to fight.
ASHLEY:
Not quite that Charles. He just refused to take
advantage of you.
CHARLES:
Take advantage of me?
ASHLEY:
Yes, he's one of the best shots the country, he's
proved a number of times, against steadier hands and
cooler heads than yours.
CHARLES:
Well, I'll show him.
ASHLEY:
No, no, no, please, don't go tweaking his nose
anymore. You may be needed for more important
fighting, Charles. Now if you'll excuse me, Mr.
Butler's our guest... I think I'll just show him
around.
(Ashley leaves the hall with intention of walking
Butler around the house. But before he can do this,
Scarlett calls him into a detached room.)
SCARLETT:
Ashley!
ASHLEY:
Scarlett...who are you hiding from here?...What are
you up to? Why aren't you upstairs resting with the
other girls? What is this, Scarlett? A secret?
SCARLETT:
Well, Ashley, Ashley...! love you.
ASHLEY:
Scarlett...
SCARLETT:
I love you, I do.
ASHLEY:
Well, isn't it enough that you gathered every other
man's heart today? You always had mine. You cut your
teeth on it.
SCARLETT:
Oh, don't tease me now. Have I your heart my darling?
I love you, I love you...
ASHLEY:
You mustn't say such things. You'll hate me for
hearing them.
SCARLETT:
Oh, I could never hate you and, and I know you must
care about me. Oh, you do care, don't you?
ASHLEY:
Yes, I care. Oh can't we go away and forget we ever
said these things?
SCARLETT:
But how can we do that? Don't you, don't you want to
marry me? ASHLEY
SCARLETT:
But you can't, not if you care for me.
ASHLEY:
Oh my dear, why must you make me say things that will
hurt you? How can I make you understand? You're so
young and I'm thinking, you don't know what marriage
means.
SCARLETT:
I know I love you and I want to be your wife. You
don't love Melanie.
ASHLEY:
She's like me, Scarlett. She's part of my blood, we
understand each other.
SCARLETT:
But you love me!
ASHLEY:
How could I help loving you? You have all the passion
for life that I lack. But that kind of love isn't
enough to make a successful marriage for two people
who are as different as we are.
SCARLETT:
Why don't you say it, you coward? You're afraid to
marry me. You'd rather live with that silly little
fool who can't open her mouth except to say "yes",
no and raise a houseful of mealy-mouthed brats just
like her!
ASHLEY:
