Scarlett:
What are you doing?
Rhett Butler:
I'm leaving you, my dear. All you need now is a divorce and your dreams of Ashley can come true.
Scarlett:
Oh, no! No, you're wrong, terribly wrong! I don't want a divorce. Oh Rhett, but I knew tonight, when I... when I knew I loved you, I ran home to tell you, oh darling, darling!
Rhett Butler:
Please don't go on with this, Leave us some dignity to remember out of our marriage. Spare us this last.
Scarlett:
This last? Oh Rhett, do listen to me, I must have loved you for years, only I was such a stupid fool, I didn't know it. Please believe me, you must care! Melly said you did.
Rhett Butler:
I believe you. What about Ashley Wilkes?
Scarlett:
I... I never really loved Ashley.
Rhett Butler:
You certainly gave a good imitation of it, up till this morning. No Scarlett, I tried everything. If you'd only met me half way, even when I came back from London.
Scarlett:
I was so glad to see you. I was, Rhett, but you were so nasty.
Rhett Butler:
And then when you were sick, it was all my fault... I hoped against hope that you'd call for me, but you didn't.
Scarlett:
I wanted you. I wanted you desperately but I didn't think you wanted me.
Rhett Butler:
It seems we've been at cross purposes, doesn't it? But it's no use now. As long as there was Bonnie, there was a chance that we might be happy. I liked to think that Bonnie was you, a little girl again, before the war, and poverty had done things to you. She was so like you, and I could pet her, and spoil her, as I wanted to spoil you. But when she went, she took everything.
Scarlett:
Oh, Rhett, Rhett please don't say that. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry for everything.
Rhett Butler:
My darling, you're such a child. You think that by saying, "I'm sorry," all the past can be corrected. Here, take my handkerchief. Never, at any crisis of your life, have I known you to have a handkerchief.
Scarlett:
Rhett! Rhett, where are you going?
Rhett Butler:
I'm going back to Charleston, back where I belong.
Scarlett:
Please, please take me with you!
Rhett Butler:
No, I'm through with everything here. I want peace. I want to see if somewhere there isn't something left in life of charm and grace. Do you know what I'm talking about?
Scarlett:
No! I only know that I love you.
Rhett Butler:
That's your misfortune.
[Rhett turns to walk down the stairs]
Scarlett:
Oh, Rhett!
[Scarlett watches Rhett walk to the door]
Scarlett:
Rhett!
[runs down the stairs after Rhett]
Scarlett:
Rhett, Rhett!
[catches him as he's walking out the front door]
Scarlett:
Rhett... if you go, where shall I go, what shall I do?
Rhett Butler:
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
[Rhett walks off into the fog]
