"Has the war started?"

Some who know me might be surprised to learn that I fucking love Gone With the Wind. I first read it when I was very young and literally tore through multiple copies. Scarlett O'Hara is the most classic of classic characters -- I taught a workshop based on her a few years back.

This is my favorite scene in the movie: Wussy Ashley tells Scarlett to go hang, so she cracks him across the face. Then he leaves and she chucks some knick-knack against the wall, waking up Cap'n Butler, who's been passed out behind the couch.

I would so do Clark Gable. The way he calls her out and challenges her -- DAMN!
