- Starlet O'Hara: What brings you to Tara?
- Rat Butler: You, you vixen, you. Starlet, I love you. That-that-that gown is gorgeous!
- Starlet O'Hara: Thank you. I saw it in the window, and I just couldn't resist it.
- Starlet O'Hara: Starlet O'Hara is not gonna be trifled with! As God as my witness, these Yankees aren't gonna beat me! If I have to lie, steat, cheal and murder, I won't be defeated! And when this war is over, I'll never, never, never, never, never... I'll never go hungry again! If I gotta make tuna casserole and go without my grits! This war won't get the best of me! I ain't down yet!
- [Starlet proceeds to yell at Sissy and Melody, who made noise throughout her entire speech]
- Starlet O'Hara: Will you two shut up!
