Today I Learned that Scarlett O'Hara offered to prostitute herself to Rhett Butler for $300

Neanderthal Gangsta: $300 back then is anywhere from $8K to $100K in today's currency, depending on how you count it.

It happened when she went to see Rhett in her famous dress made from curtains.

Scarlett (desperately): I want $300 to pay the taxes on Tara...
Rhett: What collateral are you offering?
Scarlett: My ear bobs.
Rhett: Not interested.
Scarlett: Mortgage on Tara.
Rhett: What would I do with a farm?
Scarlett: You wouldn't live there. I'd pay you back with next year's cotton.
Rhett: Not good enough. Have you nothing better?
Scarlett: You once said you love me. If you still love me Rhett...
Rhett: You haven't forgotten. I'm not a marrying man.
Scarlett: No, I haven't forgotten.
(long pause)
Rhett: You're not worth $300.

She's so awesome.

R0CHY: Haha.. You just now realized this.

Rhett: You can come to my hanging, and I'll remember you in my will.

Lol. I adored his character.

Neanderthal Gangsta:
Red, you didn't know this either until I read my post.

R0CHY: Nah, Scarlett was a total harlot. Like when she gives the goods to her sister's rich man.
