Subject: Angel Mary; the moonlight and magnolia???? gen.
из фильма Gone with the wind, помогите понять:

1)You don't have to come along, Angel Mary. - "трусиха" - по компонентам есть ирония, но - может, это устойчивое?
2) You can drop the moonlight and magnolia. - Рэтт говорит (по-русски): купаешься в роскоши.

1) Это из To Kill a Mockingbird, chapter 6
When I protested, he said sweetly, "You don't have to come along, Angel May." " You don't have to go. Remember--".

Возможно, Джем имеет в виду, что она, как ангелочек, делает только то, что правильно и хорошо.

The boys show prejudice toward Scout by saying things like, "'You don't have to come along, Angel May.'" They attribute her resistance to their plan as girlish behavior, when Scout is actually more rational about the situation.

2) Moonlight and magnolia
Refers to the romanticization of the pre-civil war south. The term alludes to soft lighting and flower scents. It has evolved as a synonym for "euphemism."
Allegedly, the phrase was coined by the writers of "Gone With The Wind" to descibe the scene at Twelve Oaks when the confederates found out that war had been declared. It refers to the men's eagerness to battle and the women's eagerness to 'claim' their confederate soldier before he left.
