Weekly Geeks suggests: On Monday it's Valentines Day here in the US, which means love is in the air! Many of us have been talking about love all month, but I thought it would make a perfect Weekly Geek-ish type assignment to suggest a post that included anything about love that moves you.
I chose favorite couple in books, movies, TV or real life.
I am a big-time sucker for romance, so picking just one favorite romantic film or book couple is virtually impossible for me. But at the top of my favorites is Gone With the Wind.
I like both the film and book, the movie possibly more. I just always love seeing Rhett and Scarlett on screen with their drama and romance. Rhett always knows how to put a spoiled Scarlett in her place, here is one of my favorite scenes when he proposes marriage to her.
Rhett: So, you see I shall have to marry you.
Scarlett: I've never heard of such bad taste.
Rhett: Would you be more convinced if I fell to my knees?
Scarlett: Turn me loose, you varmint, and get out of here!
Rhett: Forgive me for startling you with the impetuosity of my sentiments, my dear Scarlett. I mean, my dear Mrs. Kennedy. But it cannot have escaped your notice that for some time past the friendship I have felt for you has ripened into a deeper feeling. A feeling more beautiful, more pure, more sacred. Dare I name it? Can it be love?
Scarlett: Get up off your knees! I don't like your common jokes!
Rhett: This is an honorable proposal of marriage made at what I consider a most opportune moment. I can't go all my life waiting to catch you between husbands.
Scarlett: You're coarse, and you're conceited. And I think this conversation has gone far enough.
What about you? What's a favorite movie scene/couple of yours?
