Have you made a spectacle of yourself running after a man who's not in love with you when you might have any man 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, it would be with misgivings I'd say "yes". I want my girl to be happy. You'd not be happy with him.

I would, I would!

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'll leave Tara to you.

I don't want Tara. Plantations don't mean anything when...

You mean to tell me, Katie Scarlett O'Hara, 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, Pa, 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 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.
