Gone With The Wind~Script~*NOTICE*I have received emails stating that their are mistakes in this script. I have nothada chance to review it and fix the errors. I have uploaded another version that isonlythe dialogue with out the screen descriptions. Click HERE to view this script.IntroductionGone With the Wind, an all-time best-seller by Margaret Mitchell, is a legendary recollection of the last brilliance of the Old South. The writer's debut novel was an instant success. And the story has been bestowed an even further reaching popularity since Vivian Leigh presented a vivid translation to the screen of Katie Scarlett O'Hara, a southern belle raised in her father's white-pillared plantation Tara. A climax of Hollywood, from Director Victor Fleming for MGM, Gone with the Wind is more than a vicissitude, it is also an old, lost culture revisited. It is Old South, which today is no more than a dream remembered. People were once there, living with the high strong slaves' songs in the quarters, in security, peace and eternity. Here, Scarlett spends her young maiden years. She is well disciplined by her mother, but her blazing green eyes always betray her covert capricious self; the one who enjoys parties and the surrounding of beaus. She dreams to marry the noble Ashley Wilkes. The impending war shatters the golden peace of the South, and leaves many lives permanently changed. Plantations, treasures, and honor are ruined. Scarlett is made a most peculiar widow by the war, and then compelled into a second marriage in continuation of her struggle for the salvation of Tara. And her third marriage to Rhett Butler is also jeopardized because of her secret, stubborn ardency for Ashley. In the end of the movie, Scarlett is left only with her Tara, a plantation which symbolizes the culture of the Old South, a place where she could evergather her strength.Chapter 1 Scarlett's Jealousy(Tara is the beautiful homeland of Scarlett, who is now talking with the twins, Brent and Stew, at the doorstep.)BRENT: What do we care if we were expelled from college, Scarlett. The war is going to start any day now so we would have left college anyhow.STEW: Oh, isn't it exciting, Scarlett? You know those poor Yankees actually want a war? BRENT: We'll show'em.SCARLETT: Fiddle-dee-dee. War, war, war. This war talk is spoiling all the fun at every party this spring. I get so bored I could scream. Besides, there isn't goingto be any war.BRENT: Not going to be any war?STEW: Ah, buddy, of course there's going to be a war. SCARLETT: If either of you boys says "war" just once again, I'll go in the house and slam the door. BRENT:But Scarlett honey..STEW: Don't you want us to have a war? BRENT: Wait aminute,Scarlett...STEW: We'll talk about this... BRENT: No please, we'lldo anything you say...SCARLETT: Well-but remember I warned you. BRENT: I've got an idea. We'll talk about the barbecue the Wilkes are giving over at Twelve Oaks tomorrow.STEW: That's a good idea. You're eating barbecue withus, aren't you, Scarlett?SCARLETT: Well, I hadn't thought about that yet, I'll...I'll think about that tomorrow.STEW: And we want all your waltzes, there's first Brent, then me,then Brent, then me again, then Saul. Promise?SCARLETT: I' just love to.STEW: Yahoo!SCARLETT: If only ..if only I didn't have every one ofthem taken already.BRENT: Honey, you can't do that to us.STEW: How about if we tell you a secret?SCARLETT: Secret? Who by?BRENT: Well, you know Miss Melanie Hamilton, fromAtlanta?STEW: Ashley Wilkes' cousin? Well she's visiting theWilkes at Twelve Oaks.SCARLETT: Melanie Hamilton, that goody-goody. Who wants no secret about her. BRENT: Well, anyway weheard...STEW: That is,they say.. BRENT: Ashley Wilkes is goingto marry her.STEW: You know the Wilkes always marry their cousins.BRENT:Now do we get those waltzes?SCARLETT: Of course. BRENT: Yahoo!SCARLETT: It can't be true...Ashley loves me.STEW: Scarlett!(Scarlett couldn't accept the fact of Ashley's marriage,she rushes tofind her father. Mr. O'Hara is just back from a ride.) Mr. O'HARA: (To his horse) There's none in the countycan touchyou, and none in the state.SCARLETT: Paw? How proud of yourself you are!Mr. O'HARA: Well, it is Scarlett O'Hara. So, you've beenspying onme. And like your sister Sue Ellen, you'll be tellingyour mother onme, that I was jumping again.SCARLETT: Oh, Paw, you know I'm no 'tattle like Sue Ellen.But itdoes seem to me that after you broke your knee last yearjumping thatsame fence......Mr. O'HARA: I'll not have me own daughter telling mewhat I shalljump and not jump. It's my own neck, so it is. SCARLETT: All right Paw, you jump what you please. Howare theyall over at Twelve Oaks?Mr. O'HARA: The Wilkes? Oh, what you expect, with thebarbecuetomorrow and talking, nothing but war... SCARLETT: Oh bother the war....was there, was thereanyone elsethere?Mr. O'HARA: Oh, their cousin Melanie Hamilton fromAtlanta. Andher brother Charles.SCARLETT: Melanie Hamilton. She's a pale-facedmealy-mouthedninny and I hate her.Mr. O'HARA: Ashley Wilkes doesn't think so. SCARLETT: Ashley Wilkes couldn't like anyone like her. Mr. O'HARA: What's your interest in Ashley and MissMelanie?SCARLETT: It's...it's nothing. Let's go into the house,Paw.Mr. O'HARA: Has he been trifling with you? Has he askedyou to marry him?SCARLETT No.Mr. O'HARA: No, nor will he. I have it in strictest confidence from John Wilkes this afternoon, Ashley is going to marry Miss Melanie. It'll be announcedtomorrownight at the ball.SCARLETT: I don't believe it!Mr. O'HARA: Here, here what are you after? Scarlett! What are you about? Have you been making a spectacle of yourself running about after a man who's not in love with you? When you might have any of the bucks in thecounty?SCARLETT: I haven't been running after him, it's...it'sjust a surprise that's all.Mr. O'HARA: Now, don't be jerking your chin at me. If Ashley wanted to marry you, it would be with misgivings, I'd say yes. I want my girl to be happy. You'd not behappy with him.SCARLETT: I would, I would.Mr. O'HARA: What difference does it make whom you marry? So long as he's a Southerner and thinks like you.And when I'm gone, I leave Tara to you. SCARLETT: I don't want Tara, plantations don't meananything when...Mr. O'HARA: Do you mean to toll me Katie Scarlett O'Hara that Tara, that land doesn't mean anything to you? Why, land is the only thing in the world worth working for. Worth fighting for, worth dying for. Because it's theonly thing that lasts.SCARLETT: Oh, Paw, you talk like an Irishman.Mr. O'HARA: It's proud I am that I'm Irish. And don'tyoube forgetting, Missy, that you're half-Irish too. Andtoanyone with a drop of Irish blood in them, why the land they live on is like their mother. Oh, but there, there,now,you're just a child. It'll come to you, this love ofthe land.There's no getting away from it if you're Irish. (Next day, the O’Hara’s drive to Twelve Oaks for thebarbeque there.)Mr. O'HARA:: Well, John Wilkes. It's a grand day you'llbe having for the barbecue.JOHN WILKES: So it seems, Gerald.

Who's to stop them right fromthe state ofGeorgia to ^secede from the Union.MAN: That's right.Mr. O'HARA: The South must assert ourselves by forceof arms.After we fired on the Yankee rascals at Fort Sumter,we've got to fight.There's no other way.MAN1: Fight, that's right, fight!MAN2: Let theYankee's be the ones to ask for peace.Mr. O'HARA: The situation is very simple. The Yankeescan't fightand we can. CHORUS: You're right!MANS: That's what I'll think!They'll just turn and run every time.MAN1: One Southerner can lick twenty Yankees.

I'm saying very plainly thatthe Yankeesare better equipped than we. They've got factories, shipyards, coalmines... and a fleet tobottle upour harbors and starve us to death. All we've got iscotton,and slaves and ...arrogance.MAN: That's treacherous!CHARLES: I refuse to listen to any renegade talk! RHETT: Well, I'm sorry if the truth offends you.CHARLES: Apologies aren't enough sir. I hear you were turned out of West Point Mr. Rhett Butler.

(Ashley leaves the hall with intention ofwalking Butleraround the house. But before he can do this, Scarlett calls him into a detached room.)SCARLETT: Ashley!ASHLEY: Scarlett...who are you hiding fromhere?...What are youup to? Why aren't you upstairs resting with the other girls? What is this, Scarlett? A secret?SCARLETT: Well, Ashley, Ashley...!

Oh can't we go away and forget weever said these things?SCARLETT: But how can we do that? Don't you, don't youwant to marry me?ASHLEY: I'm going to marry Melanie.

She's part of my blood,we understand each other.SCARLETT: But you love me!ASHLEY: How could I help loving you? You have all the passion for life that I lack. But that kind of love isn't enough to make a successful marriage for two people who are as different as we are.SCARLETT: Why don't you say it, you coward? You're afraid to marry me. You'd rather live with that silly little fool who can't open her mouth except to say "yes", "no", and raise a houseful of mealy-mouthed brats justlike her!ASHLEY: You mustn't say things like that about Melanie.SCARLETT: Who are you to tell me I mustn't? You led me on, you made me believe you wanted to marry me!ASHLEY: Now Scarlett, be fair. I never at any time...SCARLETT: You did, it's true, you did! I'll hate you till I die!

That wouldn't have been very tactful, would it? But don't worry. Your secret is safe with me.SCARLETT: Sir, you are no gentleman.RHETT: And you miss are no lady. Don't think that I hold that against you. Ladies have never held any charm forme.SCARLETT: First you take a low, common advantage of me,then you insult me!RHETT: I meant it as a compliment. And I hope to see more of you when you're free of the spell of the elegant Mr. Wilkes. He doesn't strike me as half good enough for a girl of your...what was it...your passion forliving?SCARLETT How dare you! You aren't fit to wipe his boot!
