Gone with the Wind
Scarlett: What's this, Pa? Whisky?
Mr. O'Hara: Yes, daughter.Here, Katie Scarlett, that's enough.
You're not knowing spirits; you'll make yourself tipsy.
Scarlett: I hope it makes me drunk. I'd like to be drunk.
Oh, Pa… what are those papers?
Mr. O'Hara: Bonds. They're all we've saved.
All we have left. Bonds.
Scarlett: But what kind of bonds, Pa?
Mr. O'Hara: Why, Confederate bonds, of course, daughter.
Scarlett: Confederate bonds. What good are they to anybody?
Mr. O'Hara: I'll not have you talking like that, Katie Scarlett.
Scarlett: Oh, Pa, what are we going to do with no money and…
nothing to eat?
Mr. O'Hara: We must ask your mother.
That's it. We must ask Mrs. O'Hara.
Scarlett: Ask Mother?
Mr. O'Hara: Yes. Mrs. O'Hara will know what's to be done.
Now don't be bothering me. Go out for a ride. I'm busy.
Scarlett: Oh, Pa. Don't worry about anything.
It is God's hope. You needn't worry.
Mammy: Miss Scarlett?
What are we gonna do
with nothing to feed those sick folks and that child?
Scarlett: I don't know, Mammy. I don't know.
Mammy: We ain't got nothing but radishes in the garden.
Prissy: Miss Scarlett! Miss Sue Ellen and Miss Carreen,
they're fussing to be sponged off.
Scarlett: Where are the other servants Mammy?
Mammy: Miss Scarlett, there's only just me and Paul left.
The others moved off during the war and ran away.
Prissy: I can't take care of that baby and sick folks too.
I've only got two hands.
Paul: Who's going to milk that cow, Miss Scarlett?
We're house workers.
Scarlett: 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's all over,
I'll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk.
If I have to lie, steal, cheat, or kill. As God is my witness,
I'll never be hungry again!
