Gone With the Wind Scarlett Never Go Hungry Again

Every bit God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again!

• Rhett Butler, revealing to Scarlett that he has eavesdropped on her unabridged desperate attempt to proceed Ashley Wilkes from marrying his cousin, and witnessed her destruction of a harmless vase: "Has the war started?" Topped a few seconds afterward, when Scarlett tells him he is no gentleman, and he responds, "And you lot, Miss, are no lady."
• Katie Scarlett O'Hara, a crying, crumpled heap in the dirt, hungry, humiliated, everything she's known cleaved, reduced to clawing dead potatoes with her fingers from the ground, begins to stand upwardly:

  "As God is my witness, as God is my witness, they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it'due south all over, I'll never be hungry once again. No, nor any of my folk. If I take to lie, steal, cheat or impale. Every bit God is my witness, I'll never exist hungry again!"

• Scarlett waltzing delicately into prison, wearing the finest dress ever seen in the South, despite being a few years out of fashion, and despite the fact that she barely has money to buy nutrient. The fabric of the apparel looks very much like the late curtains at Tara...
• Scarlett shooting the Yankee soldier right betwixt the eyes. No 1 invades Tara when Scarlett is in that location.
  • Melanie, who has risen from her sickbed and is holding a sword she can barely lift, sees the dead Yankee and says, "Y'all killed him!... I'm glad y'all killed him."
  • And so Scarlett and Melanie, 2 "delicate flowers" raised in the virtually gentle of environments (at least until the war started), calmly search through the dead Yankee's holding, then keep to cover up the testify of the murder (including getting rid of the body) by themselves, without even letting anyone in the family know what had happened. Melanie even effortlessly comes up with a plausible lie when Scarlett's begetter and sisters heard the gunshot.
• The offset fourth dimension we see Rhett in the movie. He doesn't do annihilation simply scissure his Clark Gable grin while looking upwards at Scarlett yet he looks... awesome.
• Scarlett facing off against the Yankees when they try to take Wade's sword in the volume.
• Melly running back to Tara to assist Scarlett put out the burn down started past the Yankees. Fifty-fifty Scarlett has to acknowledge that Melly is e'er there when you demand her.
• Mammy always so delicately pointing out to Scarlett that she "ain't never gonna be eighteen inches adverse."
• Awesome Music: At that place'due south a reason Max Steiner'southward score is number 2 on the list of AFI's top 25 film scores ever.
• The impromptu ruse Rhett thinks upwards to make the Yankees call back the gentlemen of Atlanta were not involved in the Shantytown raid. Especially crawly is how well Melly plays along.
  • This leads to a funny bit a piddling later when Rhett admits to Melanie that he did hide the gentlemen in Belle Watling'south "sporting house", and Melanie huffily refuses to believe it.
• Will Benteen skillfully removing the "eulogies from the neighbors" part of Gerald'south funeral in order to protect Suellen from their neighbors' wrath.
• Mammy revealing she understands that Scarlett plans on stealing Frank Kennedy from Suellen in order to get the coin for the taxes on Tara - and giving Scarlett her full support.
• "Bluntly, my dearest, I don't give a damn." Now that's a line worth waiting four hours for.
  • A chip of context: after years upon years of having her own way and essentially stepping on people, Scarlett finally gets told off. The line is Rhett cementing that, no matter what she tries, Scarlett cannot win this one.
• "All nosotros got is Cotton, Slaves, and Airs!" spoken language. Rhett manages to deflate the inflated fantasies of a roomful of Southern Gentlemen who are convinced they will defeat the Yankees by pointing out that the North accept a fully equipped Navy and Regular army along with factories that can make weapons with a great sense of at-home and nobility.
  • Ashley declares he volition fight for the Due south just it's a sad, sad thing if things aren't even attempted to be resolved peacefully while warding off any criticisms of his more than hot-blooded peers and gently telling Charles that there is no mode he'd win in a fight with Rhett when the latter was accused of cowardice.
• The ending. Equally Scarlett breaks downwards after saying goodbye to a dying Melanie and failing to finish Rhett from leaving, she remembers her begetter'due south words nigh Tara. And just as she did before, she gathers her force and swears to return to Tara and find a way to go Rhett dorsum. After all the tragedy she's been through in the past year, Scarlett refuses to be brought down by it.

  Scarlett: Tomorrow is another day!

• Melanie (this shy, intellectual woman who anybody thinks is completely spineless) stands up confronting her ain family to defend Scarlett, calling out several of Atlanta'southward most influential women (and, by extension, their ostracising, oppressive Southern culture). If anyone only Melanie had done so, they would have been made simply as much an outcast every bit Scarlett; but every bit things go, Melanie's unyielding defense of her friend sparks a miniature ceremonious war in the town. Her voice communication is almost plenty to make the reader believe that Scarlett is a good person.
• The soldier Dr. Meade is working on when Scarlett comes to beg him to assist Melanie through childbirth. Despite the hellish state of affairs he's in he manages to be in a fabulous mood, cheer the doctor on when he rants near the yankees ("Give them hell, doctor!") and even shows Scarlett sympathy for the predicament she's in.
• Big Sam rescuing Scarlett from two men that are trying to rape her. Continue in mind, at first he doesn't even know information technology's his sometime owner (who he does still concur some affection for) calling for help. All he hears is a adult female in distress and immediately jumps into action, not caring if she'south black or white. He takes out of of the men with one punch and throws the other into the creek later a struggle. In the book, he fifty-fifty offers to go back and shell them up worse if she wants him to. Scarlett, usually a cold-hearted bitch towards anyone who helps her since she thinks that means weakness in herself, realizes how lucky she was Sam heard her, and thank you him profusely.
• From the novel, Old Miss Fontaine'due south response when Scarlett tells her most of Tara's cotton fiber has been burned and the field slaves have gone.

  "'Mercy me, all our field hands are gone and in that location'southward nobody to pick it!'" mimicked Grandma and bent a satiric glance on Scarlett. "What's incorrect with your own pretty paws, Miss, and those of your sisters?"

• This film is the highest-grossing-film of all fourth dimension adjusted for inflation.
