踊りながらレットはスカーレットに、'I love you!' と言ってくれることを望んだ。あの時書斎でアシュレーに言ったように。でもスカーレットから決してありえないとつれない言葉が返ってきた。
MEADE
Choose your partners for the Virginia reel!!
RHETT
We've sort of shocked the Confederacy, Scarlett.
SCARL
It's a little bit like blockade running, isn't it?
RHETT
It's worse, I expect a very fancy profit out of it.
SCARL
I don't care what you expect or what they think. I'm going to dance and
dance!
Tonight I wouldn't mind dancing with Abe Lincoln himself!
Another dance and my reputation will be lost forever.
RHETT
With enough courage, you can do without a reputation.
SCARL
Oh, you do talk scandalous!
You do waltz divinely, Captain Butler.
RHETT
Don't start flirting with me. I'm not one of your plantation beaux.
I want more than flirting from you.
SCARL
What do you want?
RHETT
I'll tell you, Scarlett O'Hara, if you'll take that Southern belle simper
off your face. Someday I want you to say to me the words I heard you say
to Ashley Wilkes. "I love you."
SCARL
That's something you'll never hear from me, Captain Butler, as long as
you live.
