Gone with the Wind - Scarlett's Inquiry About Rhett Butler
Scarlett:
Cathleen, who's that?
Cathleen Calvert:
Who?
Scarlett:
That man looking at us and smiling. The nasty, dark one.
Cathleen Calvert:
My dear, don't you know? That's Rhett Butler. He's from Charleston. He has the most terrible reputation.
Scarlett:
He looks as if, as if he knows what I look like without my shimmy.
Cathleen Calvert:
Scarlett! My dear, he isn't received. He's had to spend most of his time up North because his folks in Charleston won't even speak to him. He was expelled from West Point, he's so fast, and then there's that business about that girl he wouldn't marry.
Scarlett:
Tell, tell!
Cathleen Calvert: [Cathleen whispers in Scarlett's ear. Scarlett gasps, and then whispers in her ear]
Well, he took her out buggy riding in the late afternoon without a chaperone, and then ... And then he refused to marry her! No. But she was ruined just the same.
