I cannot bear it.

I will not believe she's gone from all of us,

From me.

Melanie wilkes was my only true friend.

How could she leave me now

Just when I need her most?

...And commit her body to the ground.

Earth to earth...

Ashes to ashes...

And, oh, my poor darling ashley,

Because of my life's destruction,

Now the only thing left of me of that wreckage.

Whoa.

This awful day will be over soon.

Then I can go home...

To tara.

Oh, melanie...

Don't leave me.

Please, don't leave me, melanie.

Oh, melanie. Melanie.

Ashley, stop it.

Ashley, don't.

Stop. Stop it. You mustn't.

Leave my brother alone.

Take your hands off of him.

Leave him alone.

Haven't you done enough harm?

If it's harm to have loved melanie wilkes

With all my heart

And her husband near as much-

In the name of heaven, ladies, cease.

Cease this instant.

I'm ceasing.

Ashley.

Ashley, come on.

Ashley, come along.

Come along, now.

Hail mary, full of grace,

The lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb jesus.

Excuse me, miss scarlett.

Gentleman here to see you, ma'am.

What gentleman might that be, pansy?

Mr. Hamilton, ma'am.

Now, he says you wasn't expecting him, but-

I'll say I wasn't.

Well, send him on in, then.

Evening, scarlett.

Well, here's a surprise.

Have a seat, I guess.

I just thought I'd stop by

And see how you're doing...

Mm-hmm.

After all that considerable upset this morning.

That was most unfortunate.

Was it really all that chilly out there, uncle henry,

Or was it only me feeling the cold draft

Of pompous disapproval?

There was a bit of a nip in the air.

Guess you've got a point about the other.

Seems like a fair amount of that disapproval

Was coming off you, I'd say, henry.

What brings you by, anyhow?

I thought I might be able

To offer you a little advice

That might ease your situation.

What situation is that?

The situation that brought about

That unseemly display of mutual animosity

At the cemetery, scarlett.

Now let's face the facts a bit.

Feelings are running real high against you here in atlanta.

Everybody seems determined to believe

That you had your eye and your intentions

Set on ashley wilkes

Right up to the time melanie passed on.

That's a damn scurrilous lie!

Scarlett, if I may offer my best advice,

I think it would do a world of good

For everybody concerned

If you would just remove yourself from atlanta for a while.

Give tempers time to simmer down.

Run away with my tail between my legs?

Well, I guess you'd all be real pleased

To see me take the next boat to timbuktu

On a one-way passage.

You got the tar, the feathers, and the rail

Waiting outside, have you?

I was just making a kindly suggestion.

No more, no less.

I'm making a kindly suggestion

For you to leave my house, henry hamilton.

In spite of everything, scarlett,

I want to say I was real upset

To hear about you and rhett coming to a sorrowful end.

Well, maybe it's sorrowful,

But whether it's the end or not

Remains to be seen.

Hyah! Come on! Hyah!

Hyah! Come on!

All out for jonesboro.

Scarlett! Hey, scarlett!

Will!

Oh, will.

I'm so glad to see you,

I'm practically crying for joy.

Well, I guess you've been doing enough crying

For grief, scarlett.

Joy wants his turn.

It's been such a long time,

Almost a year.

More like two, I guess.

You're exaggerating.

Don't believe I am, scarlett.

Well, we best get a move on

If we're gonna beat the dark home.

Let's beat the dark home.

Pansy, see to the luggage.

Hope you don't mind riding rough.

Figured as long as I was coming to town,

Might as well get some supplies.

I don't mind at all.

How's my dear sister taking to the idea

Of me showing up on your doorstep

Out of the clear blue sky?

I told suellen to let bygones be bygones.

I'm offering you the same advice.

I'm hoping you'll take it.

You know I'm not a person to carry a grudge.

What's happened to tara, will?

It's looking downright ramshackle.

Do the best I can keeping it up

When I'm not tending the crops.

I know you do, will.

You've always been a steady man,

The best foreman we ever had at tara.

I'll bet you've been a good husband to suellen,

Lots better that frank kennedy would have been.

Well, coming from the former mrs. Frank kennedy,

I guess I can take that as a compliment.

I thank you for it.

Whoa.

Whoa, now.

Suellen, god's nightgown, you're having another?

We're still trying for a boy.

He's trying for a boy.

I'm trying to take care of the two I got.

And speaking of which,

Let me get a look at my pretty little nieces.

My, how you've grown.

Aunt scarlett's here with delicious surprises for you.

Oh, your aunt scarlett's

Always been one for surprises.

Uh, let's-let's go in.

Lucius, see to that luggage, will you?

Yes, sir, mr. Will.

How have you been getting along?

Just fine, I guess.

You getting some good yields?

You didn't come back to tara

To inquire about our crops, scarlett.

Why are you here?

Why, to see mammy.

And where the dickens is she, anyhow?

Oh, mammy.

Old mammy is getting ready

To lay down her worldly burdens.

I love you, mammy.

No need for speaking

When I already knows.

Yes, there is a need.

I never told melanie.

And I didn't tell rhett

Until it was too late.

Wouldn't mind seeing that...

Devil's face again.

And so you will.

So you will.

Come on. Just going to say hi

To your uncle seth here.

I'd like to send this to atlanta, if you please.

Yes, ma'am.

This place could use some sprucing up.

Looks almost as bad as it did

The day the war ended.

I reckon we could buy enough whitewash

To paint the entire house

With what that fancy dress you're wearing cost.

You're not being fair, suellen, as usual.

Haven't I tried a hundred times to help out?

Hasn't will been too proud

To accept my help?

Your charity, scarlett.

It's not charity.

Tara's still partly my house, too.

It's not charity.

It's trying to make what's partly mine

A fit place to live in.

Yours and mine...

And the sisters of mercy convent.

What do you mean?

The startling fact is that our baby sister

Handed over her share of tara to the convent.

It's her dowry upon her entry

Into the service of jesus.

Careen did that?

Looks like you'll be having the catholic church

To contend with before you can make good your intentions.

What intentions?

Finding a way of throwing us out to live like crackers.

You's way over the line.

I'll say she is.

I wanted us to be a family again. Tara's our home.

I wanted us to be a family again in it.

Doesn't seem to be a chance of that

As long as you hold your grudge against me

For something that happened a hundred years ago.

Guess it wasn't all that long ago, was it?

Ladies, please?

She won't let the past be past.

You're not the one who had her beau stolen

From under her nose by her very own sister.

If you knew what kind of a husband

Frank kennedy turned out to be,

You'd be thanking me.

You stole frank to pay the taxes on tara.

You lied to him, telling him I had another beau.

You only married charles hamilton out of spite

Because ashley married melanie,

And you couldn't bear it.

I guess careen is the saint

Amongst the three o'hara sisters.

I obviously do not qualify.

Well, so much for bygones, I guess.

That's belle watling's place, isn't it?

Yes, sir. Welcome to atlanta.

Yeow!

You are a feisty little girl.

He come right back to me.

Pick a card.

Put it back.

That's amazing.

How did you do that?

Show me again, rhett.

I bet I'll figure it out.

One time per trick, honey.

Depending on the trick.

I bet I'll figure it out

If I seen it one more time.

Pick a card.

Don't let me see it, now.

You got it fixed in your mind?

Uh-huh.

Then put it back.

If I have it wrong,

You win.

If I have it right,

I win.

What do you win?

How many guesses you need, luli?

Oh, rhett.

Take her away, fellas.

Don't shortchange him, luli.

Now, can I interest any of you gentlemen

In a game of chance?

Always a pleasure doing business with you, rhett.

Evening, mr. Butler.

There's a telegram for you, sir.

Thanks.

Good to see you, rhett.

You're looking well.

Suellen.

Prosperous, I might say.

Your survival of our ignominious defeat in the war

Appears to have flourished with the passage of time.

I've had me some luck, suellen.

Hmm.

Thank you for informing me

Of mammy's dire state.

Came as soon as I could.

Me? Your telegram.

I didn't send you a telegram.

Was there another will benteen I didn't know about?

I assumed it was scarlett let you know.

Scarlett.

Hello, rhett.

Mammy, mammy, I brought you my promise.

Look.

Look who's come to see you.

Hello, old girl.

Am I still a mule in a horse harness?

Who would ever call mr. Rhett butler that?

You would, and did.

I must have been teasing.

You must have been.

You wouldn't hold it against me

If I asked you a favor, mr. Rhett?

Not a chance, mammy.

Remember that fine red silk petticoat you give me?

Yeah. I never gave a prettier to anyone.

I want you to see

That I'm laid to rest in it.

I'll make sure it goes with you, mammy.

Would I be asking too many promises

If I was to have one more?

Anything you want, mammy.

I want you to take care of miss scarlett.

She needs caring for so bad.

I will, mammy.

Always needed caring so bad,

Miss scarlett did.

Thank you, mammy.

I just can't imagine tara without mammy.

Can you?

Why did you sign will's name

To that telegraph you sent me?

It was just a little bit of a fib.

I was afraid you wouldn't come

If you knew I was here.

For mammy, I would have come.

Well, I'm glad you did.

Apart from mammy,

I just thought it would be

A perfectly natural location

For courteous and civilized conversation

Between husband and wife,

However strained relations might be between us

At the present time.

I was sorry you couldn't be at melanie's funeral.

I was traveling.

So I heard.

I laid some flowers on her grave.

And bonnie's?

Hmm...

I wonder sometimes if things might have been different

If our child hadn't died.

Do you ever wonder that?

No.

I've missed you, rhett.

I've missed you so.

I hope you don't expect me

To echo that sentiment.

Well, I thought you might be able

To express some semblance of it

After what you said upstairs to mammy.

I lied.

Don't say you lied.

I will not tolerate it.

I lied to make a dear old woman's last moments happy.

No gentleman would lie about such a matter.

No, I don't suppose a gentleman would.

You are such a child, scarlett.

You've known me all these years,

Yet when it suits, pleases, or satisfies you,

You can forget all you've learned.

Nothing's changed, scarlett. Nothing.

I offered you a divorce.

You ready to accept it yet?

I will never divorce you.

You'd be free to marry ashley.

I don't want ashley.

He was only ever some figment

Of my silly girlish dreams.

Let me make amends, rhett.

Please, please let me make amends.

Whatever amends you care to make are your concern.

I'll not be a party to them.

I hope you'll change your mind about a divorce.

I think it's the only possibility

Of some kind of peace between us.

In the meantime, I'll see to it

We're seen often enough in public

To keep the gossip down.

I'm leaving in the morning.

Good night, my dear.

The yankees should have hung you

When they had the chance!

Whoa.

I've come to see how ashley is.

You are not welcome here, scarlett.

I made a promise to melanie.

I intend to keep it.

Do you intend to step aside

And let me come in like a lady,

Or do I have to knock you over?

Ashley is in no humor to receive visitors,

Least of all unexpected ones.

Where is he?

You can either tell me, india,

Or I'm going to find him.

Get away!

Damn it!

Miss scarlett.

Dearest, I-

I didn't know you were back in atlanta.

Don't you look the dickens?

What are you doing?

Doing? Why...

Nothing.

What I hear is

You haven't been seen in public

Since the day of the funeral.

Really?

Well, I suppose that might well be.

I've rather lost track.

Maybe it's time

You found it again, ashley.

You mustn't worry about me, scarlett.

I'll be fine.

Really I will.

When are you going to start trying to be?

I just can't bring myself

To believe it, you see.

I know how that is-

Somebody you love dying.

You go to sleep every night,

And it's gone for a while,

And you wake up remembering.

There isn't a moment of a day

That I don't feel her...

Near...

And think that...

If I were merely to turn...

There she'd be...

My melanie.

Oh, scarlett...

How can I go on without her?

You're going to have to find a way, my darling,

And you will.

How?

Well, not like this,

Locking yourself away

And tormenting yourself

With what's never going to be.

You can stare at that door until you're old and gray,

And melly's never going to come through it.

Scarlett, you are harsh.

Not in my heart.

I know nobody loved melly the way you did,

But you're not the only one who did love her.

And the rest of us

Aren't going to curl up and die from it,

And neither are you.

Maybe you should be giving some thought to your son,

Melanie's son.

You're all he's got now.

Is this what you want her to see

Looking down on you from heaven-

Her boy all alone and grieving alone

Because his pa feels too sorry for himself to remember him,

To remember what he needs?

You shame me now, scarlett.

Pa used to say

Some of the best things folks have ever done

Come out of their shame

For the things they did before.

Now, do you think

Maybe I could have a cup of tea?

And we'll talk things over.

Tea.

So, now,

What's the situation with scarlett of late?

I offered her a divorce.

If I know scarlett,

She ain't taking you up on that.

Not yet.

You got more chance

Of her giving you a divorce

Than you do

Of getting into a bank on Sunday.

You going to the ball this year?

What ball?

What ball? The masked ball.

The carnival.

I expect you already received

Your fancy engraved

Personal invite.

Well, I don't know.

Probably.

You get yours?

Ha!

That'll be the day.

But you ought to go, you know.

Probably do you a world of good.

I didn't know I was in need

Of being done a world of good.

The only thing darker than your hair of late

Has been your countenance.

I been looking all that glum?

You haven't been altogether sparkly, you know.

I think a bit of your former social life

Might very well perk you up.

You want to perk me up?

Climb in here with me.

This ain't built for two.

It depends on which two.

Come on.

Aah!

Why don't you come home to pa?

That's it.

How do things stand with my store

And the warehouses and the land?

Everything is better than well.

It was a more fortunate decision

Than you may have realized

When you sold your sawmill to ashley.

Why?

Well, it's going under.

Builders always need lumber.

If they're building.

I know you're not interested

In what happens in the world

Unless it concerns you,

But you have got one of the best business heads

That I have ever met,

Despite the fact that you're a female.

You might as well know

There was a considerable financial scandal

In new york three weeks ago.

What about my money?

Are the banks safe?

The one holding your funds is.

But investments are very tight,

And that means building, too.

And if nobody's building,

Nobody needs lumber.

Are you saying ashley

Is really in serious financial difficulty?

You can't boom without bucks.

This is delicious sponge cake.

I want my cook to have this recipe.

Who's the best builder in atlanta, henry?

Well, define best.

Who can build

A reasonably respectable structure

Without stealing too much?

That's a difficult parley, scarlett.

I'm asking for advice,

Not discouraging opinions.

I suppose a person

Could do worse than big sam. Why?

Big sam. What do you mean, our big sam?

Our foreman at tara?

Formerly your big sam, scarlett.

Does the name lincoln ring a bell with you?

I got to say it, miss scarlett.

You are a sight for sore eyes.

Heh heh!

And maybe make them water a bit, too.

You could've knocked me over with a feather

When mr. Hamilton told me

About your coming back to atlanta

And your subsequent good fortune, big sam.

The north didn't suit me after a time.

But I did prosper.

I did prosper,

Enough so's I could come home

And establish my little business enterprise.

I'm glad to see you're doing so well for yourself.

I'm here to offer you the opportunity for lots better.

I'm just holding my breath, miss scarlett,

Hoping you're going to ask me

To build you a big, new, fine house.

I'm thinking more along the lines

Of maybe 25, big sam.

50 acres, sam.

I'm not utilizing all of it.

I won't require that much land

To build, what, 25 houses.

25 small houses on standard lots.

Yes, ma'am.

Who supplies your lumber, sam?

The harrison lumber works mostly.

Good quality, fair prices.

If you keep your eye on them.

You'll be getting your lumber elsewhere for this job.

How many good rafters you got over there?

25 houses?

Yes, sir, mr. Wilkes.

I've recently been contracted to build them.

I'd be mighty pleased

If your outfit could supply the lumber

To build them with.

I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.

I will say, sam,

It seems a somewhat precarious investment

For anyone in these uncertain times.

Who are the developers?

Some folks I was in business with up north

For a short spell.

Nice fellas. Highly spoken of up there.

Probably will be down here, too, in the south,

Where they're expecting to expand their business interests.

25 homes.

Even of the modest dimensions

You've suggested, sam...

It's a good deal of lumber.

I'd say so, mr. Wilkes.

Yes, indeed. We're discussing a whole lot of lumber here.

Could be a profitable discussion.

Yes, yes, I expect it could.

I want you to draw up a contract

Between samuel o'hara building company

And atlanta acres real estate incorporated.

Who in the world are they?

They are me, uncle henry.

And I'm hereby officially calling upon

The traditional confidentiality

Existing between a lawyer and his client.

What are you up to, scarlett?

I'm up to keeping a promise.

And if keeping it means losing some money

In order to keep ashley wilkes

From going belly up in the sun,

Then...I'll just have to take the loss this time.

Tomorrow's another day.

This is something I thought I'd never see

In these days of blatant opportunism.

These are quality construction.

For once, the less fortunate

Can be treated as well as the rich.

It would appear

That maybe all the old values

Haven't been entirely lost.

It does seem that way, doesn't it?

I'm honored to be part of this.

I hope there's some financial benefit to be derived

From all this honorable and uplifting endeavor.

You can't imagine, scarlett.

No, I suppose not.

I have to confess,

I have virtually no head for commerce.

My business is on the brink.

Then like a bolt from the blue,

Big sam walked into my office.

The good lord must've been looking down on me.

I just know he was.

Well, I was getting worried about you.

Well, your mother is of her own mind.

Imagine her having the nerve

To show her face here tonight.

Ah, but what a face.

You men are all the same.

Ha ha ha!

Good evening, henry, aunt pittypat.

Aren't you looking royal?

I gather you've come alone,

But it's just not done in polite society.

Well, so far I haven't found so much polite

In the society this evening.

I'll have to keep looking.

And as for being alone,

Well, I never am.

God is always with me.

I'll save a dance for you, henry.

Have you saved one for me, scarlett?

Why, ashley, you know I have.

Remember when we used to dance, ashley?

It's hard to remember sometimes.

I wonder if any of us will ever dance again

The way we used to before the war.

Our hearts were different then.

Everything was different then.

I miss it so, don't you, scarlett?

Will it ever be that way again, do you think?

I guess not.

We've got to keep dancing, don't we?

Oh, my lord.

What is it, scarlett?

I haven't trod on your toe, have I?

He's here.

He's here, ashley.

I didn't think he'd come.

I hardly dared hope.

That's the silliest looking thing

I've ever seen.

Who are you supposed to be?

Keep a civil tongue

In your pretty head, young miss.

You are addressing edward teach,

The most fearsome pirate,

Known far and wide as blackbeard.

Bluebeard would be more like it.

Did you recognize me, too?

I don't need to find the most ostentatious gown in the room

To know who was under it.

I might've known you'd say something mean.

I'd know you with a flour sack on your head.

How would you manage that?

I'm too much of a gentleman this evening to say.

I believe you've been drinking.

Did you come to see me?

No, I came to be seen, scarlett, not to see.

I'm taking the opportunity

To fulfill our obligations to the social amenities.

Keeping down the gossip,

That's all you came for.

You didn't come to see me.

That-a girl, dear scarlett.

Whisper your sweet nothings

Into my burning ears.

You're as tipsy as a termite in a beer barrel.

I assume that weapon is not loaded.

I don't think I'd chance

Being in such close proximity to you with a loaded pistol.

I suppose you'll be staying the night at the house.

Imagine the gossip tomorrow

If I were to check into the harmon hotel tonight.

I understand you made a spectacle of yourself at melanie's funeral.

I was only keeping ashley from making a spectacle of himself.

Ashley had a right to be a spectacle.

He was well within his bounds.

You were way outside of yours.

You just persist in breaking the rules.

You know that I'd hold you to account for that.

I've always found it to be one of your few agreeable aspects.

I don't care what the mucky-mucks think of me.

I never have, and I'm not going to start.

The more you natter on,

The more fortunate for you that that pistol isn't loaded.

Whoa!

Good night, mr. Rhett.

Miss scarlett.

Y'all have pleasant dreams, now.

You once carried me across this threshold.

You can rest assured that won't happen again.

Who is it?

What do you want?

It's just me, miss scarlett.

I brought you a pot of coffee.

I don't want it.

Miss scarlett, maybe it would-

Get out before I take a strap to you.

Why would you do that now that slave days is over?

You never done when slave days still was.

There were plenty of times I wanted to.

Yes'm, I could see that.

Go away.

You're doing yourself real hurt,

Miss scarlett.

It's breaking my heart

To see you breaking yours.

The only hurt there's going to be around here is me hurting you

If you don't remove yourself from my sight.

It wouldn't be you hurting me.

What's in that bottle there,

And you'd wake up weeping and moaning for the doing of it.

Spare yourself the hurt and me the weeping.

Well...

It's just something I had to say is all.

Pansy!

I want you to wash my hair.

And start packing.

We're going to charleston.

Just lots more hurtin' in charleston.

Now arriving in charleston,

The express train from columbia.

Oh, there she is. There she is.

Aunt eulalie! Aunt pauline!

Miss scarlett.

Oh, darling.

Shall we tell her now?

Tell me what?

Let's tell her now.

Tell me what?

Soon as we got your letter telling us you were coming,

We mentioned it to eleanor butler.

You told rhett's mother?

We presumed she was already cognizant to the fact,

You being her daughter-in-law.

She was just as surprised as we were.

We said you would be staying with us at our house.

She said, "why, she'll be doing no such thing."

She said, "you bring her directly to my doorstep,

Or you will never hear the end of it."

You will never hear the end of it.

Is rhett there?

Rhett's up north.

Buying back some of the family silver

The yankees stole.

Are you saying I'll be a guest of mrs. Butler's?

She's invited me to stay with her?

What could be more natural and fitting, child?

It's your husband's home, too.

Oh, my dear scarlett.

Oh.

I'm so glad you've come home.

I've been longing for you to come.

We'll go to market tomorrow.

You'll meet everyone you should know there.

It's the traditional place to learn all the news, too.

The newspapers don't print

The really interesting things.

I suppose you couldn't help being aware of

The unfortunate presence in charleston

Of so many yankee soldiers.

I know you've been rid of them

For some very long time up in atlanta.

We've been occupied for so long,

We hardly notice them anymore.

I'll never get used to them, never.

Well, then we'll just have to do our best

To distract you from their presence.

We can begin this very day.

My committee is meeting here this afternoon.

You must join us,

If only for tea.

I wouldn't want to prevail on you to participate.

In what?

We raise money with cake sales

And bazaars of handicrafts and such

For the confederate home for widows and orphans.

I'd be quite pleased to participate

In something like that.

Oh, lovely.

Every bit of help helps.

Giddyap! Come on!

Giddyap! Come on!

Giddyap!

Sally!

Watch it!

Sally.

Jehoshaphat!

We're here.

Who in the heck is that?

Sally brewton.

She can be mad as a March hare at times.

Margaret, emma,

We have arrived.

Oh, my.

Well, it's another perfectly thrilling ride, sally.

One's soul looks forward to it.

Speak for yourself.

Yoo-hoo!

Eleanor!

Ha ha ha!

Who's that with you?

The new recruit

For our disgustingly noble cause?

I had always heard that you would turn the heads

On tin soldiers.

I'm pleased to see that nobody was exaggerating.

Smoke?

No, thank you. I don't indulge.

Your husband and I go back to when he was in knee pants

And I was wondering what those two funny bumps was on my chest.

Eleanor, where has that son of yours been keeping himself?

He's in philadelphia.

What the pluperfect heck is he doing there?

Why don't you ask him yourself?

Rhett!

I believe you rang for tea, mrs. Butler.

Rhett, darling.

Is that what I think it is?

Is that my tea service?

Oh, lord, it is my tea service.

Where on earth did you find it?

Philadelphia.

The place is bursting with yankee plunder.

I brought a little bit of it home...

To its rightful place.

I think I'm going to cry.

If I ever had a son, I'd want to be just like rhett.

A husband would've been even better.

Sally! Sally!

How you been keeping, you wolf in wolf's clothing?

I proposed to you on a number of occasions.

You were about 12 years old at the time.

I wanted to get my bid in early.

Hello, rhett.

Ahem.

It is a fortunate man

Who's offered a greater surprise than he offered.

I don't believe you know our newest member

Miss anne hampton.

How do you do, miss hampton?

Charmed to finally meet you.

I've heard so much about you.

Your tender ears must be sizzling.

Welcome home, rhett, honey.

Welcome to charleston, scarlett...

Honey.

You might seriously hurt my arm, rhett butler!

What are you doing here?

I sure didn't come all this way

To lend my time and efforts

To the confederate widows and orphans sewing society.

I'm here to be with you.

I no longer love you.

Don't say that. I'm your wife. You're my husband.

An unfortunate circumstance I offered to correct.

I will never divorce you - never, never!

Your mother's overjoyed that I'm here.

What will you tell her if you throw me out?

'cause I'll tell her the truth,

And it'll break her heart.

I don't have to throw you out.

Sooner or later, you'll reveal yourself.

You think you can pass yourself off as a lady.

Charleston gentry will see through you.

I am a lady, damn you!

You couldn't fool a blind, deaf mule.

Show me your clothes.

I assume you've armed yourself with a new wardrobe

To win back my favors,

All of it in your typically awful taste.

Now show me your new frocks.

I'll see what can be salvaged, if anything.

Don't catch cold trying to be alluring, scarlett.

You're wasting your time.

I think I've been wasting my time

Since the day I first laid eyes on you.

Get rid of all this lace.

It's supposed to be a dress, not a tablecloth.

Get rid of this one altogether. It's hopeless.

Change these gold buttons for black ones

And shorten the train.

Ha ha ha. There's enough bows on this

To decorate a christmas tree.

I hope you're enjoying insulting me.

As a matter of fact, I am.

See if you can make one of these presentable enough

To be seen in this evening.

My mother was a robillard from savannah,

And the o'haras are descended from the kings of ireland.

Every irishman I've ever heard of

Seems to have been descended from a king.

Is it just the one king, scarlett, or were there several?

Ha ha ha.

I hate you.

Ha ha ha!

I hate you!

Looks like that royal irish blood, miss hampton.

Sometimes it gets them carried away.

Won't rhett be joining us, miss eleanor?

I'd hoped to have my first charleston breakfast

With the company of my husband.

Oh, but I thought you knew, my dear.

Well, there-there was a note from rhett this morning.

He left last night.

He's gone up-river to dunmore landing.

Didn't he tell you?

Well, aren't I the perfect dunce?

Certainly he told me. Completely left my mind.

What a silly willy I am- certainly, your plantation.

Yes. He spends quite a bit of his time there these days,

As you're no doubt aware.

Well...

Maybe it's just as well

I have a private moment with you, miss eleanor.

Oh?

I need you to help me, miss eleanor.

Well, of course, scarlett.

How may I? Anything.

I want to look like a lady.

Well, now, scarlett.

I know that I don't,

But I want to know what I'm doing wrong.

I am a lady.

Well, of course you are, scarlett.

Well, it may be that you have so much vitality,

I mean, all the vigor

Of the world you grew up in,

It's misleading to people here

In the old, tired, low country.

Still, you have no need of rouge on your lovely face,

And your clothes are...

Well...

Uh...

As some of your clothes are,

Ill considered.

Yes, w-we'll just have to find ways

To make you more like us.

Then you'll be more comfortable.

Heh.

And I suppose you will be, too.

Well, I would never have said so.

Fresh fish! It's over here!

Go on, now.

And, uh, baked goods, and they're so delicious.

You could gain 20 pounds just by looking.

Oh, yes, um, I want some sausage, please.

I'm afraid you're a little late, mrs. Butler.

You don't want those onions.

They're no good.

No good?

What's wrong with them?

They're not rotten or sprouting.

They've been dug up too soon.

They look fine, but they won't have any flavor.

Take my word for it.

How do you know?

When I had to run our place after the war, tara,

I planted onions.

I didn't know beans about growing things,

So I dug up some when the tops started to brown.

I figured they would rot.

They didn't have bite to them at all.

You want these. They're good onions.

Well, what can you tell me about celery?

I have an uncommon

If not downright unnatural adoration for celery.

Celery was too fancy for us.

I had a dozen mouths to feed.

Ask me about yams, though, or white potatoes, turnips,

Or cotton-

You worked the fields?

We had to eat.

Weaved grass baskets.

I'll just go have look at those baskets.

I hear charleston's famous for its basketry.

How much is that?

That's $4.00.

I just love those.

I missed out on the darn sausage.

That girl is just about altogether lacking

In anything that would pass for an education.

She's got the taste of a hottentot,

But she's got vigor and strength and brains.

She's a survivor.

We need her kind in the south, eleanor,

Even in charleston,

Maybe especially in charleston.

I'm going to sponsor her.

I tried your recipe for peach cobbler.

Scarlett, we have a rather important matter

We'd like to discuss with you.

What's that, aunt pauline?

Concerning your grandfather robillard.

Incidentally-

What about him?

It's come to our attention

That you haven't written him for years.

Why should I write him?

He's a crabby, mean old man who's never helped me.

We were hoping you might come with us to savannah...

For the celebration party.

What celebration party?

Father's birthday.

Well, I guess you'll just have to do that celebrating without me.

Regardless of your personal feelings,

You might consider the question

Of respect for one's elders.

And family loyalty.

Duty.

And good manners.

Don't you dare preach over me.

I don't care a fig for grandfather robillard.

He was horrid to mother and to me.

You know I'm right.

He treats everybody like dirt,

Including you, his own daughters.

Father's sometimes less than gracious.

Father has his shortcomings.

That cannot be gainsaid,

But he is our father nonetheless.

Nonetheless.

And nonetheless, I won't be in savannah

Watching him blow out his candles.

What I said she'd say.

It's what you say.

Can you spare a bouquet for my hall table, mr. Butler?

Take you'll pick, miss brewton.

Heh heh heh.

Ahh, flowers.

Ha ha.

You, sir, are a caution.

You and me go way back, rhett.

Tell me just what exactly is going on

Between you and that amazing girl.

What makes you think that?

Your mother told me

That scarlett was less than charitable to you

Concerning the death of your child.

If I hadn't wanted bonnie to ride that young,

She wouldn't have been on a horse.

If she hadn't been on a horse,

She wouldn't have been jumping it.

If she hadn't been jumping it,

She'd still be alive.

There were several remarks to that effect.

That was obviously grief

Turned upside down and backwards.

She's put it back together now.

Why else would she be in charleston,

Except to show you that?

She's here because she refuses to believe our marriage is over.

This marriage shouldn't have occurred at all.

She'd been married twice before.

She married me for my money.

She admitted that.

She was madly in love with ashley wilkes.

Why did you marry her?

Because she was unlike any woman I had ever known-

Passionate, infuriating.

Ahh, I fell in love with her

The moment I laid eyes on her...

Kind of disease, I suppose.

Now ashley wilkes is a free man

And would marry scarlett in an instant.

And I want to be rid of her.

That only makes her more determined to have me.

Heh heh.

I'm afraid it might all happen again.

She's...

Heartless.

She's selfish.

She's like a child who cries for a toy

And then breaks it, but...

There are moments...

There are moments that I come close to forgetting what I know.

Well, maybe she'll change.

When pigs fly, my dear.

Dunmore landing coming up now.

Isn't it perfectly stunning?

I'll give you $50,000 in gold-

I beg your pardon?

If you'll go away.

Go away?

A handsome deal, scarlett,

A fortune bigger than you'd ever hoped for,

A king's ransom.

The king being you, I guess.

It's funny you should offer me what you call a deal.

What's funny about it?

I came to offer one.

I shudder to think what your mind might concoct.

Why don't you just listen through all that shuddering?

I'm offering for you to stop acting so hateful to me,

To act nice and help me have a good time

Through the social season

Like a happy married couple.

After the season, I'll leave.

Without the money?

With the money, of course.

That's no deal.

There's nothing in it for me.

You'll take the money to leave, but you don't leave.

How do I benefit?

I don't stay forever.

I don't tell your mother what a skunk you are.

Hmm.

I think we might be able to do business.

I'm always willing to dicker.

You confide in mother

That however much you adore me,

I snore incorrigibly and unbearably,

A misfortune requiring us to sleep in separate bedrooms.

After the saint cecilia ball,

You'll express an urgent, irresistible desire

To rush back to atlanta,

Where you will immediately engage the services of a lawyer

To negotiate a legal separation.

You will never again set foot in charleston.

You'll never write or otherwise communicate with me.

Swear you'll be nice before I leave?

Word of honor.

Lacking a bible, that will have to do.

If you turn mean, you broke the deal,

And I don't have to leave.

I still get the money.

Done.

You're a right trial in the husband department,

But it's nice doing business with you.

I don't suppose you'd reconsider that aspect concerning separate bedrooms?

Girl can't have everything.

Thank you, sir.

10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,

16, 17...

18.

There you are, ma'am.

Thank you.

Hi, rhett.

Well, now, here's a happy surprise.

Ooh, darlin', I was just hoping I would run into you.

And so you have.

How have you been, luli?

Just fine and dandy, rhett.

When you coming back to atlanta?

I never know when I might run up there.

It could be I'll be here in charleston if belle wants.

You don't say. And why's that?

Business.

Yours?

Mine's the only kind of business I know, ain't it?

Exploring new frontiers of commerce, are you?

Mmm...You might say.

Belle's opening a whorehouse.

You might say that, too.

You're here just in time for the big race,

Horse race I'm running day after tomorrow.

Why the hell you runnin' a horse race?

I love horse racing. Can we go?

What horse race?

I won a fine quarter horse in a card game.

The loser suggested he'd race me for it.

If he wins, he gets his horse back.

If I win, I keep the horse

And take his other one as well.

Why?

Why don't you just settle for what you already won?

Why are you in charleston?

Touch�.

She told you. She's opening a whorehouse.

Ha ha ha!

Don't let me down now, rhett.

I bet the mortgage on you.

Don't tell the missis, jake.

Don't make me have to.

Good morning.

Hello, mr. Butler.

Who you betting on?

I'm not the betting sort.

I thought horse racing was always around and around.

No, not this kind. This kind is straight.

I thought it would be around and around.

Mother.

Yoo-hoo, rhett!

Are my eyes deceiving me,

Or is that belle watling?

Morning, belle.

Hello.

Luli.

Ladies, may I introduce miss belle watling

And miss luli harris.

My mother, belle, mrs. Butler senior.

How do?

I don't believe you've ever met my wife scarlett.

I know miss watling by reputation.

Glad to make your acquaintance, mrs. Butler.

Heard lots about you.

I don't expect you came from atlanta

To see rhett race a horse, miss watling.

I wouldn't travel 6 feet to watch that.

Actually, I'm here on, uh, business, truth be told.

Oh, I'm so fascinated

By ladies with business interests.

So very unusual, isn't it?

What business are you engaged in, miss watling,

If one may know?

You might say I arrange social get-togethers.

I see. What exactly-

Uh, uh, mother...

I believe it's time for the race to start.

Belle, real good running into you. Luli.

Wish me luck.

I bet a whole dollar on you.

Don't disappoint me.

He seldom does.

Easy on that last bend, harry.

Would you care for a mint julep, darling?

Come on.

More!

Faster.

More!

Oh!

Yes!

Whoo!

All right!

Ooh, he sure can ride, can't he?

I'll say.

Harry.

Congratulations.

Never a doubt, my friend.

Never a doubt.

Great job.

Congratulations, mr. Butler.

Congratulations.

Well, thank you so much.

I really don't believe rhett

Was in need of two more horses, though.

Didn't have a thing to do with horses.

It had to do with him winning.

Much too revealing to me.

When you going to stop all this lollygagging around, sally,

And accept my oft repeated proposals of matrimony?

Maxwell, if I've told you once,

I've told you more than twice,

Two marriages were enough for me.

It's nothing personal.

Third time lucky.

Says who?

When I mentioned

I'd recently made your acquaintance,

Daddy said you had a reputation

Of some considerable notoriety during the war.

Wonder what he could have been referring to.

Are you teasing me?

I made me some money,

And I had me some fun, miss hampton.

Did you come in my room last night?

No.

You're lying.

Why would I lie?

I must have dreamt it.

Some random nocturnal fever overcame you,

No doubt, giving rise to visions.

Did you come to my room last night?

Yes.

I expect your dance card's full.

I threw it away.

I'm not dancing with anyone but you.

We'll be hearing the crack of breaking hearts

All over the ballroom.

There's only one I want to hear breaking.

Pity.

You're a skunk.

It was by far the very best ball of the season.

And the last.

That's your way of reminding me

Our agreement has concluded,

As if I needed reminding.

I don't want to talk about that tonight.

We'll talk about it tomorrow.

Your mother mentioned your being in new orleans recently.

For a short while.

Did being there bring to mind our honeymoon?

Sure it did.

That's something, anyway.

Is your boat out there somewhere?

Mm-hmm.

Does it have a name?

Bonnie.

I suppose I might have guessed that.

I've never been sailing.

What's it like?

It's wonderful.

I'll bet it is.

I've never been.

All right.

All right, just this once.

As adam said to eve.

I've never had so much fun in my life.

Well, more or less.

Bring it about, mate.

Ha ha ha!

We don't want to tangle

With that kind of weather.

Here. Take the tiller.

This!

I'll drop the jib.

Hold your course, mate!

Start bailing!

Bail out the water!

Rhett!

Scarlett!

Scarlett!

Hold on!

Don't die on me, scarlett.

Please...

Don't die on me.

Come on.

Come on. Come back to me, scarlett.

Don't go.

Don't go, scarlett.

Don't go.

Oh, scarlett!

I thought you were gone.

I wasn't dreaming this time, was I?

Here. Take some of this.

It's just rotgut. It'll warm you.

I don't need it.

I've never been warmer in my life.

Listen to me, now.

For the rest of my life.

What happened...

Ahh, it was, um...

It was a celebration of survival.

Nothing more.

You're saying that 'cause...

That's all you want it to be,

But what happened was your true heart,

Your true heart...

You love me.

I know you do.

You love me.

Pansy?

Pansy.

Oh, miss scarlett,

You woke up.

You been sleeping the longest time.

How long?

What time is it?

How is she?

Well, she woke up just this minute.

Oh, thank goodness.

Oh, honey.

Miss eleanor...

Ohh.

How long have I been sleeping?

Oh...

Where's rhett?

Oh, you've been sleeping

Nearly 24 hours, dearest.

How do you feel?

Jehoshaphat.

24 hours?

How could anybody sleep that long?

You had quite an ordeal.

Don't you remember?

Most of it, I guess.

Where's rhett?

Pansy...

Tell mr. Rhett that sleeping beauty

Is back from the land of nod.

Well, maybe not so beauty...

If I look as bad as I feel.

Oh.

I'm feeling dreadful.

Well, I don't believe mr. Rhett here...

Right now.

Pansy, go down to the kitchen

And bring some broth up for miss scarlett.

And some tea.

The doctor's been by several times,

And he's given every assurance

About your condition.

And he says he wants you to rest

For another day or two.

Is rhett all right?

Rhett's fine.

I've got the most splitting headache.

Will he be back soon?

Go on, miss eleanor.

It's just like the poets say.

Sometimes...

Out of the darkest danger and fear

Comes the most beautiful and dazzling night.

We almost lost our lives.

And in that near losing,

We found each other at last.

Oh, scarlett.

What's the matter?

Rhett is all right, isn't he?

You're not lying to me, are you?

What's this?

From rhett?

Shall I leave you alone for a bit?

Scarlett...

There's nothing I can say about what happened yesterday,

Except that I'm profoundly ashamed

And sorry to have been the cause

Of such pain and danger for you

And regret bitterly all that occurred

After our escape.

My actions were reprehensible.

I cannot, however,

Deny now the truth of anything I said

In the aftermath of our...

Ill-advised and reckless encounter.

I must not and will not ever see you again.

Naturally I cannot remain

In the environs of charleston.

The cash settlement I promised

Will be transferred to you immediately

In care of henry hamilton in atlanta.

I ask you to accept my sincere apologies

For everything about our lives together.

It was not meant to be.

I wish you a happier future.

Miss scarlett, a messenger just came by.

Delighted as I am to hear your news, ashley,

I naturally would've preferred

It had been a visit to me that brought you to charleston

Instead of some darned business matter.

Dare I say my business here

Is more excuse for my presence than reason for it?

You're not rake enough to say such a thing to a lady, ashley.

Not and get away with it.

I sometimes so wish I were...

Rake enough.

You've heard the saying

About leopards and spots, I guess.

Alas, yes.

Alas nothing.

What you are is wonderful and fine, ashley.

You have no cause whatsoever for regret about it.

It's what I loved you for.

And made a ninny of myself for, if truth be told,

And I guess it has to be sometimes.

If rhett butler had just a smidgen

Of your character and dignity-

How's rhett? That's the first mention you've made of him.

Does a leopard change his spots

For a stripe down his back?

Are there difficulties? I thought-

He's left me, ashley.

For good and all this time, I guess.

I'm so very sorry, my dear.

A minute ago you said you brought a surprise,

As if your being here wasn't surprise enough.

I won't tolerate being kept in suspense for one minute longer.

I brought you some photographs.

I'll just go and get them.

I'll only be a moment.

Don't be silly.

Save you a trip. I'll come on up.

You really think you should?

Fiddle-dee-dee.

I've spent the past two months

Trying to do what's expected

Of a proper charlestonian nose-in-the-air lady.

What I have to conclude is they're them, I'm me,

And never the twain's gonna meet.

I hope the accommodations in this hotel are worthy of you, ashley.

I'm quite content so far.

They're perfectly wonderful, ashley.

I can hardly wait to see them real.

Of course the photographs don't quite do them justice.

They're such fine homes.

They've enhanced big sam's reputation

In the building trades.

You can be sure of that.

And how about your reputation in the lumber trades?

I've got almost more demand than I can supply.

I'm so tickled-pink for you, ashley.

Will you be coming back to atlanta, scarlett?

I haven't quite decided

On my next course of life.

I wish you'd come back to atlanta.

Do you?

Very much.

Very much.

I think maybe I've got about 10 seconds

To get myself out of this room.

Scarlett...

5...

Scarlett...

This is charleston.

And you are, ostensibly,

A lady.

A lady does not accompany a man

To his hotel room.

And certainly not in the broad light of day.

And most certainly not in charleston.

Did this person who saw me going up the stairs,

Whoever she is,

Since you refuse to divulge her identity,

Did this person observe me

Coming back down the stairs 10 minutes later?

I'd need more time than that to unlace my shoes,

Much less my corsets.

Scarlett, don't.

You're being vulgar.

I'm sorry.

But you are no longer welcome in this house.

Well, that suits me just fine.

'cause this is no longer a house

In which I care to be welcome.

Oh, my lord.

Is that me?

How can that be me?

What am I doing?

What have I done to myself?

Is that cowardly disgusting creature

Scarlett o'hara?

No, it is not.

Scarlett o'hara doesn't drown her sorrows.

Scarlett o'hara doesn't hide away

And hope for what she wants.

Scarlett o'hara goes out and gets what she wants.

You coward.

Coward!

This here for miss robillard.

Which of 'em?

Whichever.

Eulalie!

Scarlett's changed her mind!

She's going to savannah with us!

Ohh.

Oh, my lord.

Oh, lord.

Yes.

Yes.

Well, I guess life's

Just a long game of chance after all,

Isn't it, mr. Rhett butler?

That's what a gambling man like you would say,

Isn't it?

And you think you've won it

And walked away from the table

Leaving me high and dry.

Well, you'll be thinking again

One of these days, won't you?

You surely will.

Maybe you don't want me,

But I've got something now you do want...

Always wanted.

The ace is up my sleeve now,

And I'll play it when the time's right

When I'm good and ready.

You'll be willing to walk barefoot

Over hot coals to come back to me.

We were always two pieces of the one thing,

My darling rhett.

Now we're three.

God's nightgown! Who'd have thought

I'd ever set foot in savannah again?

Father will be thrilled to pieces that you have.

To pieces.

You know what pa used to say about grandfather-

Pierre robillard wouldn't give you the time of day

If your watch was broke.

Even mother laughed at that.

She couldn't deny it, not even about her own father.

I suppose father never was

Very fond of gerald o'hara, if truth be told.

At least I can see my other kin while I'm here.

What kin is that?

My o'hara kin.

Perhaps you better not make note of that intention

To your grandfather, scarlett.

Perhaps not.

Will mind your manners, won't you, scarlett?

Father is quite old and considerably frail.

Considerably.

Wouldn't do to tax his declining strength

With your sometimes- how shall I put it-

Quite forthright manner.

Will it be necessary to genuflect

When he grants me audience?

That's what I'm talking about, scarlett.

You are just being naughty on purpose.

On purpose.

Well, jerome, we're here.

We're here.

Welcome again to savannah and home, ma'am.

Thank you.

Jerome, this is our niece, mrs. Butler.

Yes, I remember miz butler.

How are you, jerome?

I'm well and fine, ma'am,

And hopin' the same for yourself.

Jerome!

Is that them come?

The mister's had his sleeping chamber relocated

To the parlor floor of the house, ma'am.

The staircase had become a considerable trial for him to manage.

Jerome!

Yes, sir, mister, coming right along now.

Doesn't sound all that frail to me.

He's asking for you now, dearest.

I'll be just a minute, aunt eulie.

He could scarcely believe that you were here.

I can scarcely believe it myself.

You will be nice now, won't you, scarlett?

I will, aunt eulie, I promise.

Oh, bless you.

I don't know why I'm caring how I look anyhow.

He's probably blind as a bat by now.

I'll try to keep my promise,

But if you hear any shooting, it'll be me.

Hello, grandfather.

Are you awake?

It's scarlett, grandfather.

I had hoped that, in time,

You would come to favor less your father and more your mother.

I see I am to be disappointed in that wish.

I guess so. I'm more o'hara than robillard, grandfather.

Always have been, if I dare say so here.

I've never known you not to say whatever you dared.

Sit.

I promised aunt eulie

I'd be on my best behavior.

You have grown older.

So have you.

But not to such advantage.

Why, grandfather,

Am I mishearing a remark

That sounded so breathtakingly close to a compliment?

To what do we owe

The dubious pleasure of your presence here in savannah?

That's more like it.

Aunt eulalie and aunt pauline invited me

To celebrate your birthday.

It seemed an appropriate opportunity for me

To attend to a few other matters here.

Other matters?

One personal, the other more like business.

As to the business-

Have you come to beg money again?

I never begged you for money, grandfather.

I only asked for a loan to feed my starving family

After the yankees passed through

Leaving nothing but ruin and death behind them.

I got along without your help.

I am now a woman of considerable means.

And I'm here to spend some of that

On what one of my sisters saw fit to give away.

I would have to wonder

What it might be

That your sister would value so little

And you so much.

Tara.

Ahh-ha ha. Fabled tara.

There's no fable to it.

It's home. At least it was

Till careen decided to give away her 1/3 share in it.

Seems she turned severely religious for some reason.

It's her intention to become a nun.

Careen always was kind of flighty.

To be a catholic, of course,

Requires in the first instance

A certain degree of mental instability.

You made mention of some personal reason for your presence here.

I'm going to search out my relatives.

Relatives?

I am the last of the robillard line in savannah.

I know that. O'haras, I mean.

Ohh! The peasants?

Maybe some of pa's brothers are still alive.

Pa would like it if he knew

I was looking up my long-lost kin.

Did you really hate pa as much as he said?

When my youngest and most cherished daughter

Wed herself to gerald o'hara,

There was no visible bottom

To the pit of disastrous folly

Into which she flung both herself

And the honorable name of robillard.

I guess pa wasn't exaggerating.

May I ask who it was

Witnessed this supposed indiscretion on scarlett's part?

Supposed? She was seen entering the drummond hotel

With a man she herself later admitted to my mother was ashley wilkes.

As for who saw them, my mother declined to say.

And did this nameless accuser

Also peek through the keyhole?

You don't have to take this too seriously, sally.

How do you know

That what went on between scarlett and wilkes

Is what you're thinking?

That's a considerably naive idea

Coming from someone of your experience.

Naive, hell. It's fair.

Since when has scarlett ever deserved fair?

The woman was forever inclined to rash behavior

When in a state of mental distress.

You sure must've put her in one.

I believe scarlett's never entirely gotten over

Her feelings for ashley wilkes

And she decided to do something about that.

It would be decent of you to hear her side.

Do you know where she's gone?

No. I'll have to find out.

You are getting her side then?

No.

I'm gonna divorce her.

I'll take one of those.

Yes, ma'am.

Hello.

Morning, ma'am. And ain't it a fine one?

It is.

I'd like to see mr. O'hara.

You're seeing him.

How might I be of service?

Actually, the mr. O'hara I'm looking for would be more elderly.

Mr. Andrew o'hara or mr. James o'hara.

Perhaps I've come to the wrong store.

You've come to the right one.

I'm their nephew, jamie o'hara at your service.

Oh, my goodness, then you're my cousin.

Am I indeed?

Certainly one not known to me.

I'm katie scarlett,

Gerald's daughter from atlanta.

No doubt you don't know it,

But my mother passed on.

That was your auntie bridget.

God rest her dear soul.

Also uncle andy's wife as well, auntie una.

Ah, took the heart out of poor uncle andy.

Followed her within a month.

Uncle james, then, is he gone, too?

He's not even thinking of going.

Fair chance he'll outlive the lot of us.

He'll be beside himself to see you, katie scarlett.

He's getting on in years,

But he's still able to pull his weight. And how.

He's living with us now,

Me and my wife maureen and kids.

There's eight of them.

At least that was the count when I left this morning.

And here's that very house, be it ever so humble.

But we've all come from a lot worse, hmm?

And no complaints now.

God rest his soul,

I always said your father was the best of the lot of us.

Have you not heard me say it, jamie?

I have.

And often.

The runt of the litter he was,

But hard as nails...

And o'hara to the smallest bone in his body.

A fine small man was gerald...

Much as meself. Ha ha ha.

I suppose you know

How he come by that grand plantation of his, eh?

Playing poker with my money, that's how.

And did I ever see a nickel of it back? I did not.

Did he ever happen to relate

How he come to leave ireland, katie scarlett?

I would guess upwards of about a hundred times.

Fled with a price on his head, he did.

One blow of his fist,

And down went that english landlord's rent agent,

Never to rise again in this world.

A father to make a woman proud, I should say.

And so I was... And am.

Here's to a dutiful and loving daughter, then.

May every man be blessed with one of her like, and five would be better.

And I'll add a welcome for cousin scarlett

To our hearts and to our homes.

May she never be out of the one,

Nor long absent from the other.

I'm more touched than I can find words to say.

Well, they're lying about someplace.

I'm sure you'll find them.

Right. Enough of the feasting.

Let's have some fiddlin'.

Oh, goodness, scarlett!

Are you all right, darlin'?

Oh, get her a drink.

Oh, my dear.

Are you all right?

You simply must let us summon a physician.

You're just being stubborn.

Stubborn.

I'm fine. I just overdid it, that's all.

I'm recovering quite nicely without the aid of a doctor.

The best thing you could do for me

Would be to stop standing there wringing your hands and just shoo.

If you feel the slightest further bit indisposed,

Call for, uh...

Pansy!

Yes, and she'd send for the doctor.

Shoo!

Shoo! Shoo!

Uh...

Uh, scarlett...

Shoo!

Uh, y-yes.

You're still looking kind of purplish, miss scarlett.

Are you sure-

I'm not ill, pansy.

I'm...

Indisposed.

It must be suppertime. Go get your supper.

Can I bring you something up?

Not right now. Maybe later.

Go and have your supper.

My beautiful,

Enchanting, magical little...Indisposition.

You're just going to have to go on being

The teeniest little bit of a fib for a while.

I know you don't mind,

Considering the good cause it's in.

The good cause being just the exact right time

To introduce you to your daddy.

I don't know when the right time will be,

But I'll just have to content myself

With imagining the expression

On the handsome visage of mr. Rhett butler

When he finds out I'm giving him another sweet life...

For the one we so tragically lost.

Oh, my darlin' little indisposition,

I pray you're a girl.

Please, please, be a girl.

Morning, boss.

Morning.

Hmm. I'd say they're an improvement

Over the last lot.

And right to say it.

There's 10 more coming from new york within the week.

And a thousand rounds.

That's all right, then.

Will I make the usual arrangements for the shipment?

You will.

From the look of them,

I'd venture your hands haven't done kitchen work

For quite some time, scarlett, if ever.

They've done far rougher things

Than shell peas in their time, maureen.

Have they?

You don't look it.

Are you rich, scarlett?

Well, I guess you could say I'm pretty well off, yes.

So I says to jamie.

Carries herself rich, I says.

Not to mention stopping at the manse

Of mr. Pierre robillard, grand mucky-muck of savannah hoi polloi.

Shall I tell you how I got rich?

I think I'd enjoy the telling.

Well...

So I took the inheritance from my second husband-

If I'm late for lunch,

I must be in time for supper.

Colum! Ye devil!

Not a word of warning.

I was hoping to catch you in the act.

Get away, you terrible man.

If I wasn't a priest,

Nothing would save you from my worldly attentions.

Blasphemer. Now here's a surprise.

I'll bet me Sunday bonnet on that.

She's the landlord's daughter come for the rent.

Nothing of the kind. She's scarlett o'hara butler,

Down from charleston to make the acquaintance of her savannah kin,

And long overdue it was.

Scarlett, say hello to father colum terence o'hara,

Here from ireland and another one of your cousins,

May god have mercy on you.

Pleasure to make your acquaintance, scarlett o'hara butler.

Well, bless me, father.

It's been a heck of a long time

Since I've been to confession.

Happy birthday, father.

Happy birthday, grandfather.

Will you open your gifts in the drawing room, father?

No.

Would you rather we brought them in here?

I would not.

Where would you like to open your presents, grandfather?

At a place of my choosing,

At a time of my choice,

And most certainly in private.

I suppose, after some considerable thought,

I might be able to imagine something sadder

Than opening birthday presents alone,

But I doubt it.

Scarlett, good heavens.

I was hoping to enjoy your seeing what I got you.

Perhaps you will.

I mean me seeing you seeing it.

I know what you mean.

See what you've done?

In absolute and certain knowledge

That scarlett will not make her own apologies,

No matter how deeply owed,

May I beg your pardon

In her stead, father?

However much pauline and I may regret

Having to return to charleston tomorrow, we can,

And certainly you may

Take some modicum of comfort in knowing

That scarlett will be returning with us.

I'll be staying.

I beg your pardon?

I'll be staying on for a bit.

What are you saying?

She says she'll be staying a while! Are you deaf?

May one ask why, scarlett?

I still haven't settled with the sisters of mercy

About buying back careen's share of tara,

And I'm not leaving savannah till I do.

Besides, I'm just getting to know my o'hara relatives here,

And I'm in no hurry to stop knowing them so quick.

Well, if you remain in savannah,

Where will you stay?

My o'hara kin would gladly have me stay with them,

But they don't have room for pansy,

And I can't get along without pansy,

Of course, I could go to a hotel.

There must be at least one decent accommodation in savannah.

Or I could just offer myself up

To the good graces of grandfather robillard

And hope he might provide shelter

For the relatively brief time I'll be remaining.

Stay if you like.

It is a matter of supreme indifference to me.

See?

I knew I'd be welcome.

Giddyup!

Whoa.

Good morning.

Rhett! Well, good morning.

How are you this fine day, my dear?

Quite fine this fine day, and yourself?

I couldn't be better.

I see you've made the purchase of a new frock.

A frock? Why, no, it's-

There you go again, teasing me, rhett butler.

How might I make amends?

I might find some forgiveness in my heart

If you would offer me a ride to the library.

If it isn't too terribly bold of me to mention it,

I was sincerely sorry to hear

Of the difficulties between you and mrs. Butler.

Thank you. As for boldness,

It happens to be a quality I admire in women.

That's very unusual.

In my experience,

Which of course has been quite limited,

I've observed that gentlemen are generally somewhat discomposed

By any show of forthrightness in a lady.

I think gentlemen generally are.

I gather you don't count yourself in that company?

In the company of gentlemen

Or the company of gentlemen

Discomposed by forthright ladies?

Are you teasing me again?

Why do you keep doing that?

I seem unable to resist it, don't I?

Maybe it's because of the charming, delightful manner

With which you respond to it.

Daddy says you're something of a gambler.

I've played a hand of cards now and again.

Mother doesn't like daddy to gamble.

She says there's too much chance of losing.

If you don't chance the losing, you can't chance the winning.

Wish I could be that way sometimes.

What way?

The way you said about gambling.

Sometimes I wish I could throw caution to the four winds,

Laugh at fate, let the chips fall where they may.

Maybe you will one day.

I can't imagine it.

Sometimes we need someone

To help our imaginations along a bit.

Do you think so?

I've often known that to be the case.

Always bearing in mind, of course,

That you risk the losing.

And chance the winning.

This is it.

What's the matter?

Maybe I best wait outside.

Why?

Being a baptist?

Silly. It's not a church. It's a convent for nuns.

Even if it was a church,

You'd be perfectly free to go in.

Besides, they'd probably be delighted to get their hands on you.

The decision, of course,

Lies in the bishop's hands.

You can't accept my offer on your own?

Out of the question.

I have to talk to the bishop now?

Certainly not.

I'll present your suggestion to him on your behalf.

I wouldn't want to put you to all that trouble.

I'd be more than happy to speak to the bishop.

That would be impossible.

When will you talk to him?

I have an appointment with bishop flynn three days hence.

Perhaps the opportunity will arise

For me to convey your wishes to him.

He's irish?

County meath, I believe.

Could you mention to him that my maiden name is o'hara?

Just as a note-

Personal curiosity on my part, if I may?

Go right ahead.

Should the bishop look favorably upon your request

And agree to exchange our interest in tara

For your generous donation to the sisters of mercy,

By my reckoning that still leaves

The 1/3 share in the property

Retained by your other sister.

Suellen.

Suellen, yes.

Which would effectively still deny you

The full ownership you so passionately desire.

Your reckoning is right, sister.

I'll just have to think about that tomorrow.

Miss scarlett.

Oh, miss scarlett, wake up.

He wants to see you right this minute, he says.

What?

Who wants me?

Him.

What's the matter, grandfather?

My breakfast is unsatisfactory.

You got me out of bed for that?

I got you out of bed to do something about it.

What have I got to do with your breakfast?

Send it back and tell them to bring what you want.

You tell them.

What am I, some kind of hired help?

Order your own breakfast.

I'm going back to bed.

The bed to which you believe you are returning, young woman,

Belongs to me.

You occupy it only by my grace and favor.

Is that a threat?

It is a pertinent observation.

Maybe I'll talk to your cook about her grits.

I wonder if you have noticed

The portrait of your grandmother robillard

In the drawing room.

I have. She was a stunningly beautiful woman.

You favor her remarkably.

Why, thank you, grandfather.

Would that you might resemble her in other respects.

What other respects?

She was a woman of consummate grace,

Of great gentleness and gentility.

I guess I wasn't in school

The day they handed those out.

Still...I suppose there might be something to be said

For...Spirit.

There's folks who think so.

I shouldn't wonder.

Grace, gentility and all that-

Those are easy things to take to.

I guess spirit takes some getting used to by some

Before they can appreciate it.

You may be right.

What precisely is wrong

With the grits?

Where is your parish?

I have no parish.

Who'd trust him with one?

Only a fool or the devil.

Are you a missionary priest?

Laboring to ease the suffering of the poor and bereft.

There's no one like him for it.

You must travel quite a bit.

Oh, wherever I'm called.

But I'm never long away from ireland.

Do you have any influence with bishop flynn

Here in savannah?

A hard man, the good bishop,

And not easily influenced.

Why do you ask?

He turned me down

About buying back careen's share of tara.

I mentioned me wanting to buy it.

Turned you down, has he?

I can hardly keep from crying

Every time I think about it.

It would have meant the world to me.

I wonder if the bishop

Might be persuaded otherwise.

By who?

Are you aware there's a cathedral

Being erected here in savannah?

No. Is there?

There is.

And the foreman of all the bricklayers

Laboring on this magnificent structure

Is a man called tommy shannon,

A good friend to yours truly

And has been these many years.

He's also the husband to my sister pidge.

Tommy could be persuaded to let it be known

In an indirect manner

That a considerable slowdown in the progress of the work might occur

Unless the bishop were to reconsider his unreasonable attitude.

That's blackmail.

Of course, if it doesn't sit well-

I didn't say it didn't sit well.

Family...

It's a grand thing.

If I were your lawyer, rhett,

This document would never have been drawn up.

Why not?

Why? It flies in the face

Of every moral tenet that we hold dear to our hearts.

My lawyer did mention

It was a somewhat unusual action for an individual to take.

Somewhat unusual?

Heavens, rhett,

It is almost unheard of!

Maybe it should be heard of more often.

Have you no respect whatsoever for the sanctity of marriage?

I guess that'd depend on the marriage, henry.

I can think of three or four right now

I'd say don't have much sanctity in them.

I'd have to add my own one to that number.

Have you informed scarlett of these intentions?

I would have if I could.

I don't know where she is.

I wish with all my heart

You would reconsider this drastic action.

It so violates everything we believe in.

I'd appreciate it if you'd forward those papers to your client

With the utmost dispatch, henry.

Oh...

Poor scarlett.

If there's one thing scarlett isn't,

It's poor.

You wanted to see me, grandfather?

First I wish to thank you

For your birthday gift to me.

You're welcome. I'm glad it fits.

I apologize for losing my temper the other day

And the result of that.

I am 94 years old.

You sure don't look it.

Don't carry your remorse

To the extent of desperate flattery.

Then I take it back.

I have no reasonable expectation of living much longer.

I have a request to make to you.

It is my wish that you remain with me here

For the duration of my life.

Remain with you?

I don't understand, grandfather.

If you will remain in this house as a chatelaine,

Attend to my comforts,

Conform with my wishes,

I am prepared to designate you

As my sole heir.

My estate, as you surely are aware,

Is not inconsiderable.

I'm a married woman, grandfather.

I expect I shall be able to tolerate your marital status.

I have responsibilities and obligations.

I can't just walk away from them.

And considering all those considerations,

I'm sure you'll understand that no matter how generous your offer

Or however much I'm sincerely touched by it,

It would be out of the question for me to accept.

As yet you do not know how generous my offer is.

My estate is presently valued

In excess of $500,000.

Half a million dollars?

And you my sole heir.

I didn't think any one person had that much money.

You were mistaken.

Half a million dollars?

I agree it is a sum that may bear certain repetition,

But we need not belabor the point, scarlett.

You'd give me all that money

If I stayed on here till you passed on?

Under the conditions of my needs and wishes.

Well, what is your answer?

No.

My answer has to be no.

You refuse my proposal?

I'm afraid I just have to.

How dare you!

How dare you turn up your papist, peasant nose

At the opportunity to become mistress

Of this great house

And attendant to its master!

Even supposing I was able to tolerate

Your intolerable manners-

Which I most definitely would not-

The fact that I can turn down your proposition

With hardly a twinge of regret

Is some indication to me

That maybe I'm just beginning to think

There might be more important things than money after all.

I hope you don't mind me saying this,

But I'm a bit confused.

I don't doubt that maureen is as well.

Here's a bill of divorcement

From the husband you've told us

Is dying for your return to his side in charleston.

There is a bit of confusion there.

I fibbed.

Oh. Then that's clarified.

Then this document's more of a shock than a surprise.

No. It's as much one as the other.

I never dreamed that-

I never imagined rhett would...

What am I going to do?

There now, love.

It's him that's committed the sin of divorce, not you.

And it's him who'll suffer the wrath of god for it.

I'm pregnant.

Glory be to god.

Is the man such a blackguard

As to divorce the woman carrying his child?

He doesn't know.

What are you saying, scarlett?

We had a silly old quarrel.

We weren't on speaking terms.

I was waiting for the right time to tell him.

That'd be about now.

Never!

Never, never, never!

Divorce me?

Divorce me, will he?

There may come a day when he finds out I've borne him another child,

But it'll be over my wizened and lifeless body.

Your mind's in too much turmoil

To be thinking clearly.

It's quite clear you won't be able to keep the truth from him

Once your baby's come.

He could hear it from someone else.

Far better if it's from you.

If I'm far away,

There'll be nobody to tell him.

What's on your mind, scarlett?

Far away where?

When I was a girl,

My pa was forever going on about ireland.

Maybe it's time I saw what he was going on about.

You're for ireland, then?

I'm for ireland.

It's the most breathtaking country I've ever laid eyes on,

Just like pa always described it.

We always thought he was gilding the truth a bit.

No need to gild it, is there?

I never thought I'd ever see a place more beautiful than georgia.

Before the war, of course.

It's like another world altogether.

It's so...So ancient.

Nothing like ancient. 200 years maybe.

Fairly new.

I adore it. I simply adore it.

Are we far from uncle daniel's house?

Not far now.

Let me just go over it.

There's grandmother, katie scarlett, whose namesake I am.

Never, never did I imagine I'd meet her face-to-face.

There's uncle daniel, your pa,

And my pa's eldest brother,

And there's my cousin- don't tell me-timothy

And his two sisters.

Jehoshaphat, how many cousins do I have?

That's kathleen and, um, brigid.

Bridie.

Bridie. Did I get them all?

That's them all beneath that roof.

Will there be room for me beneath it, too?

They'll see to that well enough.

It's your possessions I've some doubts about.

I guess I overdid it,

But I'll surely find a place of my own very soon.

My clothes and I won't be a bother to anyone, I promise.

I'm doubtful we'll be able to locate you a house

To equal what you're accustomed to, scarlett.

That's all right. This is a new life.

I've got it.

Come on, get up.

Go on. Everything out.

Don't put that with the rest.

Come on, sean, hurry up.

Stand back.

There's a bit of trouble here.

I won't be long.

Let me see.

Stay in the coach.

Don't get out of it now.

Come on, everything out.

Get the table.

Move along, paddy, move along.

You, priest.

Back in your box and get on your way.

I'll just have a word with the woman, captain.

You wouldn't deny her a bit of comfort, would you?

Don't fret. Don't fret.

Please do something.

I'll send donnelly over for your things.

We'll find a place for you.

Stand clear there.

Put your backs into it, men!

Come on, lads!

Come on, boys, you're supposed to be knocking...

Come on, harder! Harder! Move it!

And again!

Swing it!

There she goes!

Harder!

Come on!

Torch it!

Stay in the coach, miss.

Colum, what in heaven's name is happening?

They've destroyed that poor woman's house.

It's an eviction, scarlett.

She hasn't the rent money.

Why did they destroy it?

So's no one will live in it.

I don't understand.

The owner's english.

The english own ireland.

You understand that, don't you?

Sort of.

The owner doesn't want to rent it anymore.

He's doing what they call organizing his property.

First the rent is raised beyond the possibility of being paid.

Then the house is burnt down.

Then the land is set to grazing cattle.

That's where the profits are.

And that's ireland, too.

No beauty about it whatsoever.

I thought the driver's name was brendan.

I beg your pardon?

When you introduced me to the driver, you called him brendan,

But that soldier called him paddy.

We're all paddies to the english, scarlett.

It's comparable to your despicable term "nigger."

I never used that word in my life.

Pa would've flayed me raw.

I wasn't referring to you in particular.

I'm glad to hear it.

I must say, "paddy" doesn't sound all that bad,

Not as bad as that other.

You'd have to be irish.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Glory, what was that?

In far too much of a hurry to be irish.

That'd be one of them.

English?

You're getting the lay of the land.

Whoa.

Milord.

Have you brung her?

Hello, everybody.

Have you turned to stone,

Or are you going to give the girl the welcome

She came halfway around the world for?

Young katie scarlett o'hara.

You honor my house, and I bid you welcome.

You must be brigid.

Bridie.

You'll be stopping in my room.

And...Tim.

That's right.

Hello, tim.

I'll get your bags.

That's katie scarlett.

Gerald's girl, is it?

Come at last.

And I've lived to see the day.

Glory be to god.

I got your note.

Evidently.

I came as soon as I could.

Soon enough.

Did you miss me?

No doubt you've missed this.

Here.

Have a look.

That's disgusting.

Take it away.

Get undressed.

Would you like a cup of tea, scarlett?

I'd love it.

Kathleen, I got the feeling

My wardrobe might not be appropriate

For living in ireland.

Your clothes are beautiful, scarlett,

But you might be right in their lack of fitness.

Would you like the lend of something of mine?

Thank you, kathleen. That's very generous of you,

But I think I better do some shopping.

We could go into town.

I can't today. Colum's coming by.

Is he? Where are you off to, then?

He wouldn't tell me.

Adventuring, he says.

Well, come on, then.

We'll find you something more fit for adventuring than that.

Are you going to tell me where we're going

Before we get there?

I am not.

If you weren't a priest and my cousin,

I could wheedle it out of you.

Wouldn't I enjoy the wheedling

Were I not your cousin and a priest.

As for your priesthood,

I'll have to ask you to do something

Which I guess will be difficult for you.

And what might that be?

I have to tell a little fib

And ask you not to tell anybody

That's what it is.

A fib?

A little white lie that won't hurt anybody.

I'm not asking you to tell it.

I'm asking you...

I'm just asking you not to say anything.

Will I choke on these words I'm not to speak?

I don't see why.

I don't want to be a divorced woman bearing a child.

How can you not be that

If it's what you are?

I can be a widow.

I'm going to tell people

My husband recently passed on.

What'll be the point of that?

I don't want to be a divorced woman

Bearing the child of a husband that threw her over.

I simply cannot bear it.

Nor will you have to. Hush now.

You won't tell?

It'll be our secret.

Thank you, colum. Thank you.

And there'll not be a man or woman

That'll ever wheedle it out of me.

This is tara.

Tara?

The first tara,

Whose memory your father brought with him to america.

You see that row of ancient stones over there?

That's all we've left

Of the great banqueting hall

That was tara 10 centuries ago.

Here's where the o'haras sung first, scarlett.

And the monaghans, the mahoneys,

O'gormans, o'briens,

The donahues, the carmodys,

The heroes.

All the heroes.

This was tara.

I feel so...Strange, colum.

It does that to some.

What is it?

Time.

What are you up to?

Just something silly, I guess.

If only pa could know where I just stood.

He does, of course.

I wish I could believe that.

Give it time.

What's this place?

Ballyhara.

All this land round is known as ballyhara.

200 years ago, it was our people's land.

O'hara land.

That's the big house of ballyhara.

Does no one live in it?

No one lives there. No one will.

What do you mean? Why?

There's a dark history on it.

Tell me.

You've had enough folklore for one day, darlin'.

We don't want to overdo it, do we?

That's very sad.

We had no idea.

You have our deepest condolences, dear scarlett.

Thank you.

What a tragedy.

The husband passed on whose child you're carrying.

It would appear I wasn't meant for marriage.

All my husbands have died.

All?

You've been to the altar more than once?

Three times, as a matter of fact.

And lost them, every one.

Glory be to god, it's like a curse.

As like as makes no difference.

My first two husbands were nothing like rhett.

Not to speak ill of the dead,

But darling rhett...

What a man he was.

He could make a girl dizzy just thinking about him.

My other two husbands were fine and decent men,

But 10 of 'em couldn't have made 1 rhett butler.

There's bashing a tin pot,

And then there's music.

I believe being divorced by her husband

Would be one of the most devastating things

That could happen to a woman.

It depends on the woman.

As to scarlett, she can do with being devastated.

Is it unseemly of me to speak about it?

If it is, I'll-

Not a bit. Everyone else is.

Heavens, I can't bite my tongue any longer.

I just can't.

It was me.

I beg your pardon, my dear?

Who saw her.

Scarlett in the hotel.

I saw scarlett with the man I now know is ashley wilkes.

I saw them.

I was the one who told.

You don't say.

I've been driven to distraction

Thinking that's the reason you were divorcing her.

Because I told that I saw scarlett.

Scarlett and I have been at loggerheads

For some considerable time now, anne.

You don't hate me, then?

I could fully understand if you did,

Although it would break my heart.

Oh, slow down, honey.

I appreciate you mentioning it.

I've spent years with a woman

Whose concept of the truth was severely lackadaisical.

I find you a real refreshing change.

You do?

Really?

You bet.

I feel like a great big hunk of solid rock

Has been lifted off my back.

I'm quite pleased to relieve you of it.

Still and all, weren't you just perfectly furious

When you heard about scarlett?

Scarlett hasn't always played by the rules, anne,

But then, neither have I.

But she's a woman.

She certainly is.

I've thought about what you were saying this afternoon.

What did I say?

About rules. Playing by the rules.

In regard to scarlett.

Uh-huh.

Well, I got the impression-

Maybe I'm mistaken, I could be totally mistaken-

But I got the impression you were suggesting

A woman has the same sort of prerogatives to take as a man

By way of behaving.

Long as she can be sensible about it.

About what?

Whatever comes of her claiming the prerogative.

Like what you were saying about gambling

And chancing losing?

And winning.

And winning. Yes.

A woman like that's particularly attractive

To a certain kind of man.

She is?

What do you think about that?

About what?

About taking your prerogative

And the risks that come with it.

I guess I don't know how I feel about it.

I don't know that I've got a prerogative to take.

Sure, you do.

I do?

No question about you having it.

Only a question about you taking it.

Hello there.

Hello.

What are you doing?

Doing? I'm looking around.

You're not irish.

I'm american.

From the southern portion

Of that troubled land, I take it.

Georgia.

Ah. You're among the vanquished

In the recent unpleasantness between the states.

We lost the war, mister.

Nobody vanquished us.

I mean no offense, mrs...

Butler. My full name

And the one I prefer to go by is scarlett o'hara butler.

I'm getting a crick in my neck looking at you.

In america, a gentleman dismounts when addressing a lady.

He also generally introduces himself

Unless he has some nefarious reason not to do so.

Fenton.

Fenton what?

Actually, I'm the earl of fenton.

That's some magnificent piece of horseflesh

You're riding there, earl.

You know something of horses, do you?

More than something.

This isn't mine. It belongs to my uncle.

I'll be getting myself a proper horse real soon.

Yes. I should say that might be advisable.

This land once belonged to my family, the o'haras.

You don't say.

Maybe some of it will again.

And how might that come about?

It's called ballyhara.

Yes, I know.

Do you happen to know who owns it?

As a matter of fact, I do.

Why do you ask?

Just curious.

How much land goes with it?

1,200 acres.

That's a nice piece of property.

It's a wreck of a place.

Have you been inside?

I was just looking for a way in.

Follow me.

Must've been a grand house

Before it was left to go to wrack and ruin.

Do you know anything of the history of ballyhara?

I get the impression something unpleasant happened,

But I don't know what.

It was built by an englishman, of course.

The house passed from generation to generation

Until the time of the famine.

Are you familiar with the famine here in ireland?

My pa told us all about it.

The then lord of ballyhara

Was unable, it seems,

To bear the horrors of starvation and death.

He bought a ship

To provide free passage to america for his tenants,

Their families,

Anyone who cared to take advantage

Of his pity and largess.

Many did.

The exact number was never known,

Surely in the hundreds,

But they all drowned when the ship went down

In the first heavy sea encountered.

Oh, my lord.

Not long after,

The lord of ballyhara was found in the stable,

Bound hand and foot and hung from a rafter.

The act, of course,

Of a handful of demented paddies bound on revenge.

Of course, there was retribution for the murder.

Five men from the village

Were chosen at random and hanged.

Hanged? By who?

By the legal representatives

Of the british crown, of course.

That was all 30 years ago.

The house hasn't been occupied since.

The local witchery has it, inevitably,

That the house is haunted.

Well, considering that story,

If any place had a right to be haunted,

I guess it would be ballyhara.

And should we have a chance to meet again after today,

Don't you dare use the word paddy in my presence again.

Have I encountered a fenian heart

In an american breast, then?

A what?

The word's unfamiliar to you?

Fenian?

The fenian brotherhood,

A secret irish society

Dedicated to the violent and bloody overthrow

Of british rule in ireland,

Knowing full well the mayhem inherent in that hopeless wish.

I don't want anything to do with politics.

That's very wise of you.

Ghosts or no ghosts,

I'd still like to speak to the owner.

You are.

The man who was hanged was my father.

May I offer you some lunch, mrs. Butler?

We aren't far from fenton hall.

The way it looks now reminds me of our homes

After the yankees passed through,

Except the state ballyhara's in

Is the result of nothing more than neglect.

Anyone can see what a beautiful place

It must have been once.

I know how you feel about the english,

But they sure know how to build houses.

What's this I hear about it being haunted?

Has anyone actually seen a ghost at ballyhara?

Now I know what's different about supper tonight-

I'm the only one talking. What's going on?

Something happened?

Did somebody die?

Are we going to sit here like lumps

Or will we have it out?

You're known to have been consorting

With the master of fenton hall today, scarlett.

Consorting?

What's that supposed to mean, consorting?

I met him by accident at ballyhara,

And he invited me home for lunch.

How did you know about it?

Scarlett, there's nothing happens here

That the whole county doesn't know about

By the fall of dark.

Best to keep it in mind for future referral.

Now, look here.

I'm real fond of all of you,

And I have the greatest respect

For your feelings about the english.

But I have a slight objection

About being told who I can talk to.

And right she is.

Miss scarlett's got nothing to do with our troubles.

Can she be among us

And have nothing to do with 'em?

It's her decision to make.

Stop talking about me as though I were somewhere else.

But you're not somewhere else, darlin',

And that's the point of it.

I don't care about politics.

Politics! Is it politics you call it, woman?

Father!

Nothing was e'er heard any the better for shouting.

Yes, that's what I call it.

I've seen what it can do.

From fort sumter to the terrible day

General lee handed over his sword

At appomattox courthouse.

And millions dead between.

And ruination and despair.

I've had my bellyful,

And I'll have no more!

I'm sorry for shouting.

Call it politics if that's your need, scarlett,

But what we're about here is human suffering.

After the hanging and the murders,

Fenton's mother took him and his sister away

To live in England.

That's still his real home place.

But five years or so ago,

He bought fenton hall, as he came to call it.

He passes a fair bit of time there.

I get the impression he's not well liked.

No more or less than the rest of 'em,

But you shouldn't encourage an association with him.

God's nightgown! You, too?

I'm not encouraging anything with him.

All's well, then.

Home, sweet home...

Should you choose to call it that.

There's a sleeping chamber there.

It could do with a few more sticks of furniture.

Will it do, do you think?

It'll do just fine, colum.

Now, where can I buy a good horse and a trap?

Whoa.

Evening.

You're getting what?

It's my duty to marry her, belle.

Jumping jones! You're gonna tell me

You got that girl in the family way?

Of course not.

Then what do you mean, it's your duty?

I told you. I compromised her.

You didn't force yourself on her, did you?

You know better than to ask that.

I sure do, and I apologize.

Is she ragging on you

To make an honest woman of her?

Maybe she's making an honest man of me.

Oh, rhett...

Gonna be terrible for your reputation

If that ever gets around.

Terrible.

They're all just adorable, mrs. Scanlon.

This one especially.

When's the baby coming?

November.

Ladies?

Good morning, father.

Colum.

Is she buying out the shop?

Just baby stuff thus far, but I'm still hoping.

I'm only pulling your leg.

I should hope so

After what I bought for myself not two weeks ago.

No one could complain of your costume, mrs. Butler.

I can't decide. I'll take them all.

And there's the proof of it.

Come on. I need your help.

Good morning, ma'am.

How much will you take for ballyhara?

Are you quite serious?

Let's find out.

Have you heard?

Have you heard?

Heard what?

It's...

Ballyhara!

Have you heard?

The o'hara woman has just made purchase of ballyhara

And a thousand acres with it!

Have you been doing your drinking elsewhere today?

O'brien must've been talking to the little people again.

But it's the truth!

I've had it from the lips of father colum himself!

Would you call him a liar?

If you're pulling our legs,

We'll hang you from the rafters by both of yours.

May I be struck dead

If I'm not telling the truth.

I believe he is.

And there's plenty of work

For every man jack as wants it,

Putting it back to its former state.

And farms to be had

At rents that'll never rise!

That's her promise.

Well, here's to scarlett o'hara, then.

God bless her rare soul

Who's took back what was took from us

And made it irish once more!

Yay! Yay! Yay!

Now's as good a time as any.

Consider the risk in trusting her.

Where's the risk, man?

Do you supposed she'll go running to the barracks

Hollering sedition?

There's no chance of that.

She might turn us down.

What do you think, colum?

I think the risk's more hers than ours.

How do you figure that?

Were she to be discovered helping us...

She'd know that risk.

It's for her to decide.

I say now's the time.

Are you having relations with the o'hara woman?

Don't be impertinent.

I was only wondering.

You're not here to wonder.

There's some whispering it about

As to you and her.

Be quiet.

I want to go now.

Not yet.

No! Let me go!

Let me go!

Come on, move it.

We're doing it!

What are you doing?

What's going on here?

Scarlett, we're being evicted!

Evicted? What the devil for?

Where's uncle daniel and tim?

Someone's gone to get them.

I needn't inquire as to your identity.

I presume you're the american woman.

You presume right.

What are you doing to these people?

I'm executing an order

On behalf of her majesty's government

For the eviction of persons resident on this property

For their having fallen in arrears on the rent.

Now, stand aside, please, miss.

Are you in arrears, kathleen?

God help us, we are, scarlett.

How much?

I beg your pardon?

It's their pardon you should be begging.

How much in arrears are they?

Constable?

7 pounds, 8 shillings, 9 pence.

Well, do you want it, or don't you?

I don't have 9 pence. You can keep the change.

By his glory be to god,

But doesn't she just take the cake?

I'll pay you back every penny.

I swear it on my father's grave.

Why didn't you tell me you needed money?

I'd have helped you.

I'll not take charity, scarlett.

It's family, uncle daniel.

There's no charity in family.

Nevertheless, every penny.

All right, then.

Maybe we can make some kind of an arrangement.

What would that be?

Will you come farm a piece of my land?

The rent will be better,

Not only for you.

For anyone who comes as tenant at ballyhara.

Put the difference between your rent here

And the rent there toward paying me back.

It's fine land up there.

It's o'hara land.

Every penny, mind.

And a bit more.

I didn't have the exact change.

Daniel, coming up.

I got that one.

There she goes.

Ready?

Hurry up.

Want some lunch?

I just come by

To tell you I'll be away for a while.

Away? Where?

America.

Boston, philadelphia.

Don't be gone too long.

Only as long as is needed.

It's coming along.

Not fast enough.

Fast is a word

You'll find mysteriously absent

From the irish vocabulary, darlin'.

You'll be needing help running a house the size of this.

I've taken the liberty of arranging that for you.

Rosaleen fitzpatrick's her name.

Formerly head housekeeper on an estate by trim, near laracor.

I'm much obliged, colum.

I hadn't thought of that.

I'll have her drop by at your convenience.

I have other news as well.

I've had a letter from savannah from tommy shannon,

The works foreman on the new cathedral being built there.

It concerns your tara.

It's about time. What's the news?

Faced with a retarded pace of work on the cathedral,

As was hinted as a possibility by tommy,

The bishop reconsidered your proposal

To buy back your sister's share of tara

And will enter into negotiations on a fair price.

Hallelujah.

Won't all this alter your plans somewhat?

How?

You seem to be amassing

A considerable amount of property.

Colum, what we're standing on

Was here a million years ago.

How can anyone have too much of anything that lasts that long?

Never thought of it quite like that,

But I don't know of any but you who would.

You'll be needing considerable staff, of course.

I don't know about considerable.

Just someone to run the place,

And I'm assuming that'll be you, mrs. Fitzpatrick.

I'll only be using a few rooms at first.

When'll the child be coming?

I judge October or thereabouts.

That's what I'm figuring on - around late October.

They've got to finish up

Enough for me to move in before then.

Why is that?

I want my baby to be born here.

You'll be needing a steward

To manage the butler, the footmen, and the like,

And a head stableman to supervise the grooms.

How many horses have you in mind to have?

I haven't gotten around to thinking about horses yet.

I'm late in expressing my pleasure

At meeting you and being in your employ.

It would be an honor to be housekeeper for the o'hara.

Beg your pardon?

I say I'll be honored being housekeeper for the o'hara.

The o'hara? What do you mean?

Are you not aware, then?

You're called the o'hara now,

Head of the family o'hara and all its branches.

A rare grace it is, you being a woman.

Hasn't been a female borne the title

In over 100 years or more.

Ye gods! What do I have to do?

Some will come to you

With various troubles now and again.

There'll be the odd squabble amongst families

That might be needing your attention.

There may be occasional intercessions with the landlord

Asked of you.

Nothing that you're not equal to,

From what I've heard of you thus far.

Well, I'll do my best,

But what I'd be equal to right now is lunch.

Let's drop into the pub.

Well, now...

Women are rare enough in carney's, mrs. Butler,

And never unescorted.

But I'm the o'hara.

Afternoon.

Here's to ya!

God bless the o'hara!

You hurt me.

Get dressed.

Are you done with me for this evening,

Lord fenton, sir?

Get dressed.

You hurt me.

God bless all here.

Colum.

Whoa.

Colum.

You're back.

How are you?

Welcome.

I missed you so.

So how was boston?

And philadelphia, was it?

Quite civilized, I'm pleased to report.

You sure travel far afield to save souls.

If this little creature was kicking me like that from the outset,

I'd be black and blue.

Poor lamb.

How much longer?

About three weeks, I reckon.

Will you have your wish as to the birthplace?

I will. The whole house isn't finished yet,

But enough so's I'll have my baby 'neath ballyhara's roof.

Be sure to stay beneath it the night of allhallows eve.

Why? What's that?

The same as your Halloween,

Though we take it more seriously than you do.

It's coming a week Saturday.

Stay in your house with your doors shut tight.

That's when all the goblins and ghosts

And spirits from all the times come out,

Some carrying their heads beneath their arms

And all other unnatural things.

Colum.

Oh, well.

Perhaps you're not quite irish enough yet.

There's some plaster needed on the walls,

But with a good fire in the hearth and cheerful curtains,

The room will afford quite reasonable comfort.

And there's a surprise for you.

We found it in the attic.

Sweet mercy, what is it?

It's a state bed,

Probably made specially for the viceroy's visit years ago.

Who's that?

The head of the government in ireland.

I've ordered a comfy mattress.

I could sleep in this

And never hit the same spot twice.

The bed wants more than one in it.

Mrs. Fitzpatrick, whatever are you suggesting?

Ooh!

I trust there's been no signs of ghosts as yet.

Not yet.

They're probably waiting till I get settled in

Before they make their presence known.

Do you believe in ghosts?

I don't believe in them, but I'm scared of them.

Have you a preference?

I'm hoping for a girl.

It would appear you haven't long to wait before you know.

It's banging on the gates, all right.

It must be quite difficult,

Widowed and bearing a child.

I would've preferred it otherwise.

I would've been by sooner,

But I'm just back from dublin.

It's a beautiful city.

You must see it.

I have every intention of seeing it.

Perhaps I can be your guide and escort.

You might care to meet some fashionable people,

I dare say, even the viceroy.

Does it sound appealing?

I have to admit it does.

I could benefit from some relief

From all the muck I've been slogging through of late.

But there's somebody else I've got to meet first, though.

Of course.

In due time.

In due time, I just might.

I'll take your horse, father.

Throw another log on the fire.

Colum, what are you doing out on a night like this?

I was halfway here when the storm broke.

It was easier to keep coming.

Who but a priest would venture out on allhallows eve?

You're in time for supper.

I was hoping I might be.

This came in the adamstown post for you today.

I'm expecting something from my lawyer in atlanta.

This isn't it, though.

It's from an aunt in charleston.

Would you lay another place for colum?

I'll just go make myself more presentable.

Oh, god.

The baby.

Ohh!

Mrs. Fitzpatrick!

Mrs. Fitz!

It's coming!

It's coming!

I'll get the doctor.

He's too far, and there isn't the time.

Something's not natural. There's blood.

I can't vouch for myself to do it, colum.

I'll fetch someone who will.

Nobody will venture out on allhallows eve.

Perhaps I'll get someone to come under special protection.

Go on, now!

Hyah!

Whoa!

Aah! Aah!

No!

Aah!

It'll be all right, darlin', shush.

Shush, darlin'.

No!

Shush, shush, shush.

No!

It'll be all right.

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!
