Movie quotes

  • (..) I don't know anything about the lumber business. You know as much as you do about banking. And I'd give you half the business, Ashley. That's generous of you, Scarlett. But it isn't that. If I go to Atlanta and take help from you again... ...l'd bury forever any hope of standing alone. (..)

  • (..) This time I'm conversin' with Miss Wilkes. You might as well take my money, Miss Wilkes. It's good money, even if it is mine. I'm sure you're very generous. No, I'm not. I'm a Confederate like everybody else, that's all. Of course you are. There's some folks here wouldn't feel that way. (..)
