No, I don’t think I will kiss you, although you need kissing, badly. That’s what’s wrong with you. You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how.
— Gone with the Wind ‧ 1939
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker refuses a kiss while claiming to know that the other person needs one. That combination makes the refusal part of a provocative display of confidence. The judgment about what is wrong with the listener belongs to him, rather than establishing their actual wishes.
