What's your interest in Ashley and Miss Melanie? It's... it's nothing. Let's go into the house, Paul. Has he been trifling with you? Has he asked you to marry him? No. No, nor will he. I had it in strictest confidence from John Wilkes this afternoon. Ashley's going to marry Miss Melanie. It'll be announced tomorrow night at the ball. I don't believe it! Here! Here, where are you after? Scarlet! Scarlet! What are you about? Have you been making a spectacle of yourself running about after a man who's not in love with you? When you might have any of the bucks in the county? I haven't been running after him. It's just a surprise, that's all. Now, don't be jerking your chin at me. If Ashley wanted to marry you, could be with Miss Givings, I'd say yes. I want my girl to be happy. And you'd not be happy with him. I would, I would. But what difference does it make who you marry? So long as he's a southerner and thinks like you. And when I'm gone, I leave Tara to you. I don't want terror. Plantations don't mean anything when... Do you mean to tell me, Katie Scarlett O'Hara, that terror, that land doesn't mean anything to you? Why, land is the only thing in the world worth working for, worth fighting for, worth dying for, because it's the only thing that lasts. Oh, Paul, you talk like an Irishman. It's proud I am that I'm Irish. And don't you be forgetting, Missy, that you're half Irish too. And to anyone with a drop of Irish blood in them, why, the land they live on is like their mother. Oh, but there, there. No, you're just a child. It'll come to you, this love of the land. There's no getting away from it if you're Irish.
