Running about after a man who's not in love with you when you might have any of the bucks in the county? SCARL I haven't been running after him, it's-it's just a surprise,that'all. GERLD Now, don't be jerking your chin at me. If Ashley wanted to marry you ,it would be with misgivings I'd say "yes". I want my girl to be happy　and you would not be happy with him. SCARL I would, I would! GERLD What differnce does it make who you marry,so long as he's a Southerner and thinks like you? And when I'm gone, I'll leave Tara to you. SCARL I don't want Tara! Plantations don't mean anything when... GERLD Do you mean to tell me Katie Scarlett O'Hara that Tara-that land doesn't mean anything to you? Why, land is the only thing in the world worth working for,worth fighting for, worth dying for,because it's the only thing that lasts. SCARL Oh,Pa, you talk like an Irishman. GERLD It's proud I am that I'm Irish.And don't you be forgetting,Missy, that you're half-Irish, too. And to anyone with a drop of Irish blood in them, why, the land they live on is like their mother. Oh,but there,there now, you're just a child. It'll come to you,this love of the land. There's no getting away from it if you're Irish.
