• Jonas Wilkerson - Field Overseer : Mrs. O'Hara, we finished plowing the creek bottom today. What do you want me to start on tomorrow?

  Ellen - His Wife : Mr. Wilkerson, I've just come from Emmie Slattery's bedside: Your child has been born.

  Jonas Wilkerson - Field Overseer : My child, ma'am? I sure I don't understand.

  Ellen - His Wife : Has been born and mercifully has died... Good night, Mr. Wilkerson.

  [she walks away inside the house for him] 

• [Scarlett O'Hara sees that Jonas Wilkerson and Emmy Slattery are entering the Tara house] 

  Scarlett : Why, it's Emmy Slattery.

  Emmy Slattery : Yes'm, it's me.

  Scarlett : [furiously]  Stop!

  Jonas Wilkerson - Field Overseer : You haven't forgotten your old overseer, have you? Huh? Well, Emmy is Mrs. Wilkerson now.

  Scarlett : Get off those steps, you trashy wench. Get off this land.

  Jonas Wilkerson - Field Overseer : You can't speak that way to my wife.

  Scarlett : Wife. High time you made her your wife. Who baptized your other brats after you killed my mother?

  Jonas Wilkerson - Field Overseer : We came out here to pay a call. A friendly call to talk a little business with some old friends.

  Scarlett : Friends. When were we ever friends with the like of you?

  Jonas Wilkerson - Field Overseer : Still high and mighty, ain't you. Well, I know about you. I know your father's turned idiot. You can't pay your taxes, and I come out here to offer a place of you to make your right good offer. Emmy's had a hankering to live here.

  Scarlett : [furiously]  Get off this place, you dirty yankee.

  Jonas Wilkerson - Field Overseer : You bog-trotting, high-flying Irish will find out who's running things around here when you get sold out for taxes. I'll buy this place, lock, stock and barrel, and I'll live in it. But, I'll wait for the sheriff's sale.

  [Scarlett sees a damp clay in her hand and turns to him, throws and hits Jonas Wilkerson's face] 

  Scarlett : That's all of Tara you'll ever get.

  Jonas Wilkerson - Field Overseer : [wiping his face]  You'll be sorry for that.
