Peter Warne: I want to see what love looks like when it's triumphant. I haven't had a good laugh in a week.

Rhett Butler: Forgive me for startling you with the impetuosity of my sentiments, my dear Scarlett. I mean, my dear Mrs. Kennedy. But it cannot have escaped your notice that for some time past the friendship I have felt for you has ripened into a deeper feeling. A feeling more beautiful, more pure, more sacred. Dare I name it? Can it be love?
Scarlett: Get up off your knees! I don't like your common jokes!
Rhett Butler: This is an honorable proposal of marriage made at what I consider a most opportune moment. I can't go all my life waiting to catch you between husbands.


--Clark Gable (as Rhett Butler) in Gone with the Wind

Rhett Butler: Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

Rhett Butler: How fickle is woman.

Rhett Butler: I believe in Rhett Butler, he's the only cause I know.

Rhett Butler: I'm not in love with you any more than you are with me. Heaven help the man who ever really loves you.

Rhett Butler: I'm very drunk and I intend on getting still drunker before this evening's over.


--Clark Gable (as Rhett Butler) in Gone with the Wind

Rhett Butler: There's one thing I do know... and that is that I love you, Scarlett. In spite of you and me and the whole silly world going to pieces around us, I love you. Because we're alike. Bad lots, both of us. Selfish and shrewd. But able to look things in the eyes as we call them by their right names.
Scarlett: (struggles) Don't hold me like that!
Rhett Butler: (holds her tighter) Scarlett! Look at me! I've loved you more than I've ever loved any woman and I've waited for you longer than I've ever waited for any woman.
