Scarlett:
What are you doing?
Rhett:
I'm leaving you, my dear. All you need now is a divorce and your dreams of Ashley can come true.
Scarlett:
Oh, no! No, you're wrong, terribly wrong! I don't want a divorce. Oh, Rhett, but I knew tonight, when I... when I knew I loved you, I ran home to tell you, oh, darling, darling!
Rhett:
Please don't go on with this. Leave us some dignity to remember out of our marriage. Spare us this last.
Scarlett:
This last? Oh, Rhett, do listen to me, I must have loved you for years, only I was such a stupid fool, I didn't know it. Please believe me, you must care! Melly said you did.
Rhett:
I believe you. What about Ashley Wilkes?
Scarlett:
I... I never really loved Ashley.
Rhett:
You certainly gave a good imitation of it, up till this morning. No, Scarlett, I tried everything. If you'd only met me half way, even when I came back from London.
Scarlett:
I was so glad to see you. I was, Rhett, but you were so nasty.
Rhett:
And then when you were sick, it was all my fault... I hoped against hope that you'd call for me, but you didn't.
Scarlett:
I wanted you. I wanted you desperately but I didn't think you wanted me.
Rhett:
It seems we've been at cross-purposes, doesn't it? But it's no use now. As long as there was Bonnie, there was a chance that we might be happy. I liked to think that Bonnie was you, a little girl again, before the war, and poverty had done things to you. She was so like you, and I could pet her and spoil her, as I wanted to spoil you. But when she went, she took everything.
Scarlett:
Oh, Rhett, Rhett, please don't say that. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry for everything.
Rhett:
My darling, you're such a child. You think that by saying "I'm sorry," all the past can be corrected. Here, take my handkerchief. Never, at any crisis of your life, have I known you to have a handkerchief.
Scarlett:
Rhett! Rhett, where are you going?
Rhett:
I'm going to Charleston, back where I belong.
Scarlett:
Please, please take me with you!
Rhett:
No, I'm through with everything here. I want peace. I want to see if somewhere there isn't something left in life of charm and grace. Do you know what I'm talking about?
Scarlett:
No! I only know that I love you.
Rhett:
That's your misfortune. [turns to walk down the stairs]
Scarlett:
Oh, Rhett! [watches Rhett walk to the door] Rhett! [runs down the stairs after him] Rhett, Rhett! Rhett, Rhett... Rhett, if you go, where shall I go? What shall I do?
Rhett:
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. The bolded portion ranked #1 in the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 movie quotations in American cinema.
