Oh,my back's near broken. Look at my hands! Mother said you could always
tell a lady by her hands. |
| CAREN |
I guess things like hands and ladies don't matter so much anymore. You
rest, Sue. You're not well yet. I can pick cotton for both of us. |
| SUELN |
Scarlett's hateful! Making us work in the fields like... |
| SCARL |
Too bad about that! Now get back to work! I can't do everything at Tara
all by myself. |
| SUELN |
What do I care about Tara! I hate Tara! |
| SCARL |
Don't you ever dare say you hate Tara again! The same as hating Pa and
Ma! |
| GERLD |
Katie Scarlett, there's something I must speak to you about. |
| SCARL |
Yes, Pa. What is it? |
| GERLD |
I've been talking to Prissy and Mammy, and I don't like the way you're
treating them. You must be firm with inferiors, but you must be gentle
with them-especially darkies. |
| SCARL |
Yes, Pa, I know. But I'm not asking them to do anything I'm not doing myself. |
| GERLD |
Nevertheless, Katie Scarlett, I don't like it. I shall speak to Mrs. O'Hara
about it. |
| SCARL |
What are you doing out of bed, Melly? |
| MELLY |
Scalett, darling, I must talk to you. You're all working so hard. I can't
lie in bed doing nothing. |
| SCARL |
Go on back upstairs. You're as weak as a newborn colt. |
| MELLY |
Please, Scarlett, let me. |
| SCARL |
Stop being noble, Ｍelanie Wilkes. I've got enough on my hands without you
making yourself sick so you'll never be any use. |
| MELLY |
Oh, I-I didn't think of it that way. |
