Dixie Carter: Julia Sugarbaker

Quotes 

• Julia Sugarbaker : All right, that's it! This is not a whorehouse. This is *my* house, and I have had all I'm going to take of you. You don't care about history; you just want to sell it. You don't even sell it honestly. You just want to sell the myth, the Myth of the Old South! You all know that myth, don't'cha? Happy darkies singin' in the fields, while Miss Scarlett primps around throwing hissy fits! Well, that's an insult. It isn't the South. It's an insult to all the people who lived and died here not so very long ago. Years we Southerners have had to endure many things, but one thing we Southerners do not have to endure is a bunch of bored housewives turning historical homes into theme parks. Not to mention ill-mannered tourists with their Big Gulps, Slurpees, Misties and Frosties, their dirty feet, overflowing rubber thongs, and babies who sneeze Fudgesicle juice! OUT! OUT OF MY HOUSE! As God is my witness, I will burn it down myself before I let you in again!
