You still think you're the Belle of the county don't you? That you're the cutest little trick in shoe leather and that every man you meet is dying of love for you.
Rhett Butler
Boys aren't any use to anybody. Don't you think I'm proof of that?
Rhett Butler
I've always loved you. But you've never given me a chance to show it.
