(At the wedding Scarlett stares at Charles' best man while the priest has them repeat the vows.)
Priest- I Scarlett take thee Charles
Scarlett- I Scarlett take thee Ashley
(Melanie rolls her eyes.)
Priest-(Confused) Miss O'Hara…would you like to try that again?
Scarlett-No, not really. Charles?
Charles-My life is over. Nothing will ever happen to me anymore. It doesn't matter. Nothing matters.
(Once the ceremony is over Ashley bends to kiss his new sister-in-law on the cheek. He says good-bye since he and Charles are leaving for war.)
Scarlett-Wait! You can't leave! I have a problem…
Ashley-(Irritated) What is it?
Scarlett- I-I'm not wearing a bra….
Ashley- (Surprised) Oh! Well here take mine.
(He pulls a flashy red bra out of his pocket and gives it to her. She holds it to her chest and cries.)
Scarlett-(Sobbing) Y-you always know what to do Ashley!
Charles-Don't worry. You'll pay for this when I get back. I know my rights.
Scarlett-What rights?
Charles- A husband has the right to beat his wife with a stick as long as its not thicker than this thumb. Those rights. They don't call me Thick Thumbed Charles for nothing.
(Scarlett is shocked into silence for the probably the first time ever.)
