"Maybe you'll have an accident..."

—1 second later—

"AAAHHH!!!!"

DON'T TEMPT FATE.

What annoys me about this, is that it's inaccurate to the book, where Scarlett really DIDN'T ask for Rhett, and Rhett had more incentive because of that to leave her at the end, and go to Charelston. I don't understand why they would change it.

I also have a really nit-picky issue with the lines; Rhett said "Cheer up. Maybe you'll have an accident."

In the book he said, "Cheer up. Maybe you'll have a misscariage." But that's me being annoyingly particular.

@jamocha101 it's made it so much more romantic and by accident i'm pretty sure miscarriage was implied, but i understand your frustration :P

The whole lesson is KINDNESS being stubborn in a marriage doesn't do ANYONE any justice whatsoever, very very sad. When their daughter dies I cry like a little baby.

@jamocha101 It,s not so inaccurate: in the book, Scarlett WANTS to see Rhett, but she thinks it,s to no avail- In the film..they put words to her thinkings (a common thing in movies)- And to change "accident" and "misscariage"?-well, the Code- The film was made in 1939- HOWEVER..what Rhett says: "Indeed, and who,s the happy father" is / was a very "strong" thing to say to a pregnant woman- I don,t know HOW the Code passes by-

SHE LAND'S ON THE FLOOR AND IT'S GOOD THAT'S 3 POINT'S TO SCARLET ON THE WINNING TEAM

I had to use google translator to understand what Rhett really meant and here's the translation the software gave:

I'm so sick and tired of this crazy bitch I don't know what to do! Thank goodness she fell down the staircase because it saved me from having to hire a hitman. I'm not paying child support for another baby! I've already got 32 that she doesn't know about!

This scene always drives me crazy...but I love this movie all the same! Great movie!

ohmygoodness. I don't think she was a bitch - she just had to be hard to survive. If she wasn't as hard and steely as she had to be, Melanie would most likely have died and her whole family would have been thrown out of Tara - she did what she had to do to survive.

I don't care. Scarlett was a fool and a cruel bitch. She deserves what she gets. Stop acting like Rhett is the fool for leaving.

Funniest scene in the movie. Nothing like a good abortion joke to liven up an otherwise sad film.

@jamocha 101 - I think in the book she DOES ask for Rhett but then gives up because she remembers that he doesn't want her. God, the book (and film) is so annoying - Rhett reads her and understands her for the first 900 pages of the book but not the last 100 pages...
