　　SCARLETT: It's me, Mellie。

　　MELANIE: Promise me. Ashley...Ashley and you..。

　　SCARLETT: What about...Ashley, Mellie?

　　MELANIE: Look after him for me. Just as you looked after me for him。

　　SCARLETT: I will, Mellie。

　　MELANIE: Look after him. But never let him know。

　　SCARLETT: Good night。

　　MELANIE: Promise?

　　SCARLETT: What else, Mellie?

　　MELANIE: Captain Butler...be kind to him...he loves you so..。

　　SCARLETT: Yes, Mellie。

　　(Melanie passes away. Scarlett comforts the heart-broken

　　Ashley, neglecting the existence of Rhett Butler, who

　　couldn't bear to see the scene, leaves. But suddenly

　　Scarlett sees the fact, she doesn't love Ashley anymore。

　　So she goes to look for Rhett everywhere。)

　　SCARLETT: Rhett, wait for me! Rhett, wait for me! Rhett!

　　Rhett!

　　(Outside the restroom。)

　　RHETT: Come in。

　　SCARLETT: Rhett!

　　RHETT: Melanie, she's...well. God rest her. She was the only completely kind person I ever knew. Great lady. A very great lady. Though she's dead. That makes it nice for you, doesn't it?

　　SCARLETT: Oh, how can you say such things. You know how I loved her really。

　　RHETT: No, I don't know that I do. But at least it's to your credit that you could appreciate her at the end。

　　SCARLETT: Of course I appreciated her. She thought of everybody except herself. Why her last words were about you。

　　RHETT: What did she say?

　　SCARLETT: She said, be kind to Captian Butler, he loves you so。

　　RHETT: Did she say anything else?

　　MELANIE: She said, she asked me to look after Ashley too。

　　RHETT It's convenient to have the first wife's permission, isn't it?

　　SCARLETT: What do you mean? What are you doing?

　　RHETT: I'm leaving you, my dear. All you need now is a divorce and your dreams of Ashley can come true。

　　SCARLETT: No! No, you're wrong! Terribly wrong! I don't want a divorce. Oh Rhett, when I knew tonight, when I knew I loved you, I ran home to tell you, oh darling, darling!

　　RHETT: Please don't go on with this. Leave us some dignity to remember out of our marriage. Spare us this last。

　　SCARLETT: This last? Oh Rhett, do listen to me. I must have loved  you for years only I was such a stupid fool I didn't know it. Please believe me.You must care!Mellie said you did!

　　RHETT: I believe you. But what about Ashley Wilkes?

　　SCARLETT: I......I never really loved Ashley。

　　RHETT: You certainly gave a good imitation of it up to this morning. Oh, Scarlett, I tried everything. If you'd only met me halfway, even when I came back from London..。

　　SCARLETT: I was so glad to see you, I was Rhett, but,but you were so nasty!

　　RHETT: And then when you were sick. And it was all my fault. I hoped and against hope that you'd call for me.But you didn't。

　　SCARLETT: I wanted you. I wanted you desperately, but I didn't think you wanted me!

　　RHETT: It seems we've been at crossed purposed, doessn't it. But it's no use now. As long as there was Bonnie there was a chance we might be happy. I like to think that

　　Bonnie was you. A little girl again. Before the war and poverty had done things to you. She was so like you. And I could pet her and spoil her as I wanted to spoil you. But

　　when she went, she took everything。

　　SCARLETT: Oh, Rhett, Rhett, please don't say that. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for everything。

　　RHETT: My darling, you're such a child. You think that by saying I'm sorry, all the past can be corrected. Here, take my handkerchief. Never in any crisis of your life have I known you to have a handkerchief。

　　SCARLETT: Rhett, Rhett where are you going?

　　RHETT: I'm going to Charleston. Back where I belong。

　　SCARLETT: Please, please take me with you。

　　RHETT: No. I'm through with everything here. I want peace. I want to see if somewhere if there is something left in life with charm and grace. Do you know what I'm talking about?

　　SCARLETT: No. I only know that I love you。

　　RHETT: That's your misfortune。

　　SCARLETT: Rhett! If you go, where shall I go? What shall I do?

　　RHETT: Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn。

　　SCARLETT: I can't let him go. I can't. There must be some way to bring him back. Oh, I can't think about that now. I'll go crazy if I do, I...I'll think about it tomorrow. I

　　must think about it. I must think about it. What is there to do? What is there that matters?

　　( The words other father and Ashley thunder in her ear。)

　　Mr. O'HARA: You mean to tell me, Katie Scarlett O'Hara, that Tara doesn't mean anything to you? That land is the only thing that matters. It's the only thing that lasts。

　　ASHLEY: Something you love better than me, though you may not know it。

　　Mr. O'HARA: Tara, it's this from where you get your strength。

　　ASHLEY: Tara, the red earth of Tara。

　　Mr. O'HARA: That land's the only thing that matters, it's the only thing that lasts。

　　ASHLEY: Something you love better than me, though you may not know it, Tara。

　　Mr. O'HARA: ...From which you get your strength..。

　　ASHLEY: ... the red earth ofTara。

　　Mr. O'HARA: Lands the only thing that matters..。

　　ASHLEY: something you love better than me..。

　　Mr. O'HARA plus ASHLEY: ...the red earth of Tara...Tara!... Tara!... Tara!

　　SCARLETT: Tara! Home. I'll go home. And I'll think of some way to get him back. After all, tomorrow is another day!
