Rhett Butler : I'm leaving you, my dear. All you need now is a divorce and your dreams of Ashley can come true.
Scarlett : Oh, no! No, you're wrong, terribly wrong! I don't want a divorce. Oh Rhett, but I knew tonight, when I... when I knew I loved you, I ran home to tell you, oh darling, darling!
Rhett Butler : 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! Melly said you did.
Rhett Butler : I believe you. What about Ashley Wilkes?
Scarlett : I... I never really loved Ashley.
Rhett Butler : You certainly gave a good imitation of it, up till this morning. No Scarlett, I tried everything. If you'd only met me half way, even when I came back from London.

Rhett Butler : And then when you were sick, it was all my fault... I hoped against hope that you'd call for me, but you didn't.

Rhett Butler : 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.
Scarlett : Oh, Rhett, Rhett please don't say that. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry for everything.
