Fiddle Dee Dee by Petra Michelle

FADE IN:

INT. PLANTATION. POST-CIVIL WAR ATLANTA, GEORGIA - DAY

SCARLETT escorts her new SUITOR to the front door.

SUITOR Don't leave me on tender hooks, Scarlett.

SCARLETT Fiddle dee dee! I'll give you my answer tomorrow.

As MAMMY appears, Scarlett offers her hand to Mr. Finnegan.

SCARLETT Good day, Mr. Finnegan.

Upon his departure, 

MAMMY Miss Marsden is waiting in the drawing room,

SCARLETT Bring in tea and biscuits, Mammy.

INT. DRAWING ROOM - SAME 

JULIE MARSDEN is admiring Ashley Wilkes' photo. When Scarlett appears, she sets it back in its rightful place.

SCARLETT (extending her hand) It's very nice to meet you, Miss Marsden.

MISS MARSDEN Please, call me Julie.

SCARLETT Are you planning on building a home here in Atlanta, Julie? I'm not ashamed to say I have the finest Georgia pine.

Mammy enters and sets the tray of tea and biscuits down.

JULIE Frankly, I have come for your advice.

SCARLETT Advice?

JULIE What is your secret?

SCARLETT (perplexed) Secret?

JULIE You were married twice. (sarcastically) Seems I'll be an old maid. 

SCARLETT Fiddle dee dee, Julie.

JULIE Fiddle dee dee is your secret?

Before Scarlett can reply, ASHLEY stumbles in.

ASHLEY There you are, Scarlett. I rushed over to tell you...

He stops abruptly as his gaze falls on Julie.

ASHLEY Hello.

JULIE (sensually) Fiddle dee dee.

ASHLEY Let me help you.

Scarlett watches on, aghast.

SCARLETT (in rapid exchange) Fiddle dee dee.

On cue, Ashley stops pouring to tend to Scarlett.

JULIE (competitively) Fiddle dee dee, Ashley.

RHETT BUTLER barges in past Mammy.

RHETT It's just no good, Scarlett. I can't go on without you.

SCARLETT Rhett!

As Ashley pats Julie's hand,

SCARLETT Ashley!

RHETT Once and for all, Scarlett, make up your mind!

SCARLETT And spoil the fun?

RHETT (frustrated, turns to Mammy) Fiddle dee dee, Mammy!

MAMMY (blushing) Lordy, Mr. Rhett, you is bad!
