This webpage says it’s the movie lines from movie Gone With the Wind.

Literally, the second sentence above means “you” and “me” are not gentlemen, at least not gentlemen like them. Am I right?
 
Two things. One, yes, you are right. Two, say: "they are lines from the movie, " Gone With the Wind"."

Don't say "it's the movie lines from movie ...".

Say "They are lines from the movie Gone With The Wind" or "These lines are from [the movie] Gone With The Wind".
