Consequences of Choices and Reputation
Rhett Butler: [''Walking up behind Bell to arrest'']
Bell, have you been drinking? Shouldn't drink and drive. People eventually find out, you have a reputation.
Officer: [''Walks up behind Belle'']
You've been doing the drugs, ma'am?
Belle Scott:
What?! No!
Bell Granger:
Brett, I know I made a big mistake right now.
Rhett Butler:
You did. You committed 14 moving violations in the last 20 minutes.
Belle Scott: [''Getting lead away'']
What?! Come on now!
Bell Granger:
Are you arresting me now?
Rhett Butler:
It's my job.
Bell Granger:
At least wait for me to get out.
Rhett Butler:
Cut the shit, you broke my heart.
Bell Granger:
I know I did Brett, but it's only for one day, and I promise it'll never happen again.
Rhett Butler:
Damn right, we're not together anymore.
Bell Granger:
I promise I will never leave you again.
Rhett Butler:
Well, I can understand why you did but what you did was childish. You can't do that to people.
Bell Granger: [''Rhett reaches in and pulls out a child's toy vending machine ring and Bell kneels down'']
I'm not moving to Atlanta, I never wanted to go to Atlanta. I'm staying here. Reach into my pocket. Come on. Rhett Butler, will you marry me?
Rhett Butler: [''Bell looks dejected''; ''Rhett face lights, he kneels down and hoists her up''; ''Bell's face lights up and Rhett reaches behind her and puts the ring on a finger of her handcuffed hands'']
Nope. Not like this Bell, will you be my wife?
Officer: [''Speaking into [[w:Radio scanner|police radio scanner]
Kathy, down on one knee, I think he just asked her to marry him. I think he just said; "yes".
Belle Scott: [''Rhett stands up'']
Oh.
Rhett Butler: [''He and Bell kiss with Belle and officers cheering and [[w:Celebratory gunfire|celebratory firing]
Give me a kiss.

City Parks and Nature's Irony
Bell Granger: [''Sitting at table across from Rhett with an open magazine'']
Can you believe that is such a beautiful park in the middle of a beautiful city?
Rhett Butler:
I guess, if you're into that sort of thing.
Bell Granger:
You're not?
Rhett Butler:
I just always thought it kind of funny to bring nature into the city. I mean, why not just live in nature?
Bell Granger:
Oh.
Rhett Butler:
Besides, I bet these ducks are just for show, not hunting. Well, am I being set up here?
Bell Granger:
What?
Rhett Butler: [''Gets up and walks to fridge''; ''grabs cash jar from fridge top and sets it on table'']
In my experience, whenever trying to catch a culprit... ...just follow the money. Are you moving to Atlanta?
Bell Granger:
It's not that simple.
Rhett Butler:
Oh, it is that simple. I overhead Belle saying today that she was moving to Atlanta.
Bell Granger:
You have to understand, we had these plans before I met you.
Rhett Butler:
You still haven't answered my question! Are you... or are you not... moving to Atlanta?
Bell Granger: [''Gets up, walks into TV room and turns to him'']
Right. I've known Belle since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. In all that time, there ain't once that she's letting me down. I can't start letting her down now.
Rhett Butler:
Don't use loyalty as an excuse. Have you had these plans before we met. You should have told me.
Bell Granger:
It all happened so fast.
Rhett Butler: [''Reaches into pocket and pulls out child's toy vending machine ball and throws it to Bell''; ''Walks away to door'']
My pay increase doesn't start till September] Is that it?
Bell Granger:
Don't go!
Rhett Butler:
Why should I stay? To help you pack?
Bell Granger:
I didn't mean for it to go this far.
Rhett Butler:
There's a part of me that wishes it hadn't.
Bell Granger:
Rhett, we can't end it like this.
Rhett Butler: [[w:Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn|frankly Bell, I just don't give a damn; ''Puts hat on and walks away'']
Well, ].

Your senior prom.
Bell Granger:
You never showed up.
Tracy Hampton:
Damn it. Well we shared some meaningful things.
Bell Granger:

Tracy Hampton: [''holds up keys'']
Like.. ...my car, or more specifically, the backseat of my car. Come on, Hampton make you feel like a princess. Don't give me that look, that's that same look your friend gives me. Well, maybe she's right, maybe you are meant for each other.
