I can’t go all my life waiting to catch you between husbands.
— Gone with the Wind ‧ 1939
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker refuses a future spent waiting for gaps between somebody else’s marriages. Between husbands turns those gaps into a recurring condition, while the reference to an entire life gives the complaint its scale. The line draws a limit around waiting, without establishing what happens after it is spoken.
