Birth of Bonnie Blue

"Why that ain't nothing but my red petticoat that you done bought me Mr. Rhett." mammy says after he ask her what the rustling sound is he hears under her skirt. "Let me see!" he says. Then she pulls her skirt up a little and shows him. Then mammy says, "Mr. Rhett you is bad!" Rhett says, "Well it took you long enough to wear it!" She says, "Yes sir I know, and I'm sorry about that." Rhett ask if she still thinks they're mules and then mammy says, "Mr. Rhett, Miss Scarlett shouldn't have told you that. You ain't gonna hold that against old mammy is ye?" Then he ask her to have a drink with him to celebrate the birth of his daughter, Bonnie Blue. My favorite scene in a movie "Gone With the Wind" Hattie McDaniel as Mammy and Clark Gable as Rhett Butler *2nd place winner in Frank Herrera's contest for favorite scene in a movie.
