Daily Dialogue — February 18, 2017
Scarlett: Sir, you should have made your presence known.
Rhett Butler: In the middle of that beautiful love scene. Now that wouldn’t have been very tactful would it?
Scarlett: Oh! You, sir, are no gentlemen.
Rhett Butler: And you, Miss, are no lady. [She is shocked and hurt] Don’t think I hold that against you. Ladies have never held any appeal for me.
— Gone With the Wind (1939), screenplay by Sidney Howard, novel by Margaret Mitchell
