drunk...and I intend getting still drunker

RHETT: I'm very drunk and I intend getting still drunker
before the evening's over. But you're not going to bed. Not
yet. Sit down. So she stood by you, did she? How does it
feel to have the woman you've wronged "cloak your sins
for you? You're wondering if she knows all about you and
Ashley. You're wondering if she did it just to save her face.
You're thinking that she's a fool for doing it even if it did
save your hide but...

SCARLETT: I will not listen.

RHETT: Yes, you'll listen. Miss Melanie's a fool, but not
the kind you think. It's just that's there's too much honor
at her to ever conceive of dishonor in anyone she loves.
And she loves you. Though just why she does, I'm sure I
don't know.
