12. Idella, want a pickle with lunch?Copy !req
13. Not me.Copy !req
14. I'm putting up a jar for
you to take home to William.Copy !req
15. You backed the car into
the Pollack's yard.Copy !req
16. You should have let me keep my Lasalle.
It wouldn't have behaved this way.Copy !req
17. Mama, cars don't behave.
They are behaved upon.Copy !req
18. You demolished that
Chrysler by yourself.Copy !req
19. Think what you want.
I know the truth.Copy !req
20. The truth is you just cost
the insurance company $2,700.Copy !req
21. You are a terrible risk.Copy !req
22. Nobody will issue you a policy now.Copy !req
23. You're just saying that to be hateful.Copy !req
24. Okay. Yes, I am!
I am making it all up.Copy !req
25. Look out on the driveway!Copy !req
26. Every insurance company in
America is out there...Copy !req

38. How do you know I'll be here?Copy !req
39. I'm not dependent on you for company.Copy !req
40. Fine, I'll call first.Copy !req
41. But you know, we have got some
real serious talking to do.Copy !req
42. No!Copy !req
43. I need you now. I have to be at
the beauty shop in half an hour.Copy !req
44. No, I most certainly did not know you
had to call a minimum of 2 hours ahead.Copy !req
45. Why call yourself a taxicab company
if you can't provide taxicabs?Copy !req
46. Why don't you call your son?
He'd send someone to carry you.Copy !req
47. That won't be necessary.Copy !req
48. I'll cancel the appointment
and fix my own hair.Copy !req

65. The Millers are giving a hay ride.Copy !req

Doesn't your baby look cute?Copy !req
67. Well, it's not exactly
the word I'd pick.Copy !req

I been wanting to read that.Copy !req
69. Sorry, but it's due back
at the library tomorrow.Copy !req
70. - Want me to return it for you?
- No, thank you.Copy !req
71. I'll go to the library on the streetcar.Copy !req
72. Damn it, Mama! Quit being so stubborn.
You know perfectly well...Copy !req
73. Go on! Don't keep the horses waiting.Copy !req
74. Bye!Copy !req
75. Is that door making contact?Copy !req
76. Oscar?Copy !req
77. I'm here.Copy !req
78. - Are you all right?
- No, sir, I'm stuck.Copy !req
79. I know. Fiddle with the lever.Copy !req
80. It fiddled out. I done all I know how.Copy !req
81. Call Bell Elevator.Copy !req
82. I already did. They're
backed up until around 1:00.Copy !req
83. Did you tell them it's an emergency!Copy !req
84. You don't have to holler, Mr. Werthan.Copy !req
85. I did not break the elevator.Copy !req
86. Got that stuff for Davis & Paxon?Copy !req
87. Wrapped and ready to go!Copy !req
88. I promised it for today.
Call Bell again.Copy !req
89. I hear you.Copy !req
90. Look up where the gate is supposed
to close. See a do-hickey?Copy !req
91. Wait a minute.Copy !req
92. Right here!Copy !req
93. Reach up and mash it
up until it catches.Copy !req
94. I done it. Now what?Copy !req
95. Operate the lever.Copy !req
96. Do you work here?Copy !req
97. No, sir. This here Hoke.Copy !req
98. Hoke Colburn, sir.Copy !req
99. How'd you know about the elevator?Copy !req
100. I used to drive for a dairy, sir.Copy !req
101. Their elevator was
worse than this one.Copy !req
102. Hoke the one I told you about.Copy !req
103. Of course.Copy !req
104. Excuse me, sir.Copy !req
105. Y'all people's Jewish, ain't you?Copy !req
106. Yeah, we are. Why?Copy !req
107. I'd rather work for Jews.Copy !req
108. I know folks say they stingy and cheap.Copy !req
109. But don't say none of that around me!Copy !req
110. Good to know you feel that way.Copy !req
111. What was your last job?Copy !req
112. I worked for Judge Harold
Stone, a Jewish gentleman.Copy !req
113. You worked for Judge Stone?Copy !req
114. Seven years. I'd still be
there if he didn't up and die.Copy !req
115. Mrs. Stone asked me to move
to Savannah with her.Copy !req
116. Of course, my wife was dead by then.Copy !req
117. But I said, "No, thank you, ma'am."Copy !req
118. I didn't want to be too
far from my grandbabies.Copy !req
119. Judge Stone was my father's friend.Copy !req
120. You don't say?Copy !req
121. Sit.Copy !req
122. Later, Miss McClatchey.Copy !req
123. Oscar said you needed somebody
to drive for your family.Copy !req
124. Will I be taking your
children to school...Copy !req
125. and your wife to the beauty parlor?Copy !req
126. I don't have any children.
What I need...Copy !req
127. You're still a young man.
Don't worry too much.Copy !req
128. Thank you. I won't.Copy !req
129. Hoke, I need somebody
to drive my mother around.Copy !req
130. Yes. Well, if you don't
mind my asking, sir...Copy !req
131. why ain't she hiring for herself?Copy !req
132. It's a difficult situation.Copy !req
133. She done gone around the bend a little.Copy !req
134. That will happen as they get on.Copy !req
135. No, she's all there!Copy !req
136. Too much there is the problem!Copy !req
137. I want you to understand something.Copy !req
138. My mother is a little high strung.Copy !req
139. The fact is, you would
be working for me.Copy !req
140. She can say anything she likes...Copy !req
141. but she can't fire you. Understand?Copy !req
142. Yes, sir.Copy !req
143. Yes, sir, I sure do.Copy !req
144. Don't worry, Mr. Werthan.Copy !req
145. I'll hold on no matter
which way she run me.Copy !req
146. I was a little boy back on the farm
above Macon where I come from.Copy !req
147. I wrestled hogs to the
ground during killing time.Copy !req
148. Well, sir, there ain't a
hog got away from me yet!Copy !req
149. How are you, Idella?Copy !req
150. Living.Copy !req
151. - Where's the new vacuum cleaner?
- In the closet.Copy !req
152. She won't touch it.Copy !req
153. It gives me a shock
every time I'm near it.Copy !req
154. It works for me.Copy !req
155. Good! Then you clean and I'll
go down and run your office.Copy !req
156. Where's Mama?Copy !req
157. Up yonder.Copy !req
158. I guess you know who this is.Copy !req
159. I'll be right back.Copy !req
160. I wouldn't be in your shoes...Copy !req
161. if the sweet Lord Jesus came
down and asked me Himself.Copy !req
162. Good morning, Mama.Copy !req
163. Just come down and say hello.Copy !req
164. You listen here.Copy !req
165. Unless they rewrote the Constitution
and didn't tell me, I still have rights!Copy !req
166. Of course.Copy !req
167. What I do not want, and absolutely
will not have, is...Copy !req
168. some chauffeur sitting in my kitchen,
gobbling my food, using my phone.Copy !req
169. I hate that in my house.Copy !req
170. You have Idella.Copy !req
171. Idella's different!
She's been coming to me for years.Copy !req
172. We stay out of each other's way.Copy !req
173. Even so, there are chips
in my wedding china.Copy !req
174. You think Idella has a vendetta
against your wedding china?Copy !req
175. Don't be sassy.Copy !req
176. When we couldn't afford them,
we did for ourselves.Copy !req
177. That's still the best way.Copy !req
178. "Them?"Afford them?"
You sound like Governor Talmadge.Copy !req
179. What a thing to say!
I'm not prejudiced!Copy !req
180. Aren't you ashamed?Copy !req
181. You might as well make the best of it.Copy !req
182. I knew a Miss Idella once.
Back down in Macon.Copy !req
183. You don't say?Copy !req
184. She sang!Copy !req
185. What are you talking about?Copy !req
186. I'm talking about this
woman had some lungs!Copy !req
187. She'd be a whole church
choir by herself!Copy !req
188. I declare!Copy !req
189. Fat, too!Copy !req
190. She was as big as that stove!Copy !req
191. Don't talk to Idella!
She has work to do.Copy !req
192. What are you doing?Copy !req
193. Dusting the bulbs, Miss Daisy.Copy !req
194. That's the silliest thing I ever saw.Copy !req
195. Who cares if lamp bulbs are dusty?Copy !req
196. Get down from there!Copy !req
197. Put that ladder away
before somebody trips.Copy !req
198. I'm gone, Miss Daisy.Copy !req
199. All right, Idella. See you tomorrow.Copy !req
200. - I'm going too, Miss Daisy.
- Good.Copy !req
201. Good morning, Miss Daisy.
Thought I'd see after your zinnias.Copy !req
202. Leave me flower bed alone.Copy !req
203. You got a nice piece of ground behind
the garage that ain't doing nothing.Copy !req
204. I could put in tomatoes...Copy !req
205. If I want a vegetable garden,
I'll plant it myself.Copy !req
206. What are you doing?Copy !req
207. I just love a house with
pictures, Miss Daisy.Copy !req
208. It do make a home.Copy !req
209. I don't want you nosing
through my things.Copy !req
210. Good morning, Miss Daisy.Copy !req
211. It was right cold in the night.Copy !req
212. I wouldn't know. I was asleep.Copy !req
213. Idella says we're
running short on coffee...Copy !req
214. and Dutch cleanser.Copy !req
215. We are?Copy !req
216. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
217. We're low on silver polish, too.Copy !req
218. I know.Copy !req
219. I'm fixing to go to the
Piggly Wiggly on the trolley.Copy !req
220. On the trolley!
Why don't you let me carry you?Copy !req
221. No, thank you.Copy !req
222. Ain't that why Mr. Werthan hired me?Copy !req
223. That's his problem.Copy !req
224. All right. But I'm going to
find something to do here.Copy !req
225. You leave my things alone!Copy !req
226. I'm gone to the market, Idella.Copy !req
227. Miss Daisy, it's a shame.Copy !req
228. You have this fine Hudson
automobile out there in the garage.Copy !req
229. It hasn't moved an inch from
when Mr. Werthan drove it here.Copy !req
230. That insurance company gave you
a brand new car for nothing.Copy !req
231. That's your opinion.Copy !req
232. My other opinion is that a fine rich,
Jewish lady like yourself...Copy !req
233. has no business dragging herself
onto a trolley carrying grocery bags.Copy !req
234. I'll carry them for you.Copy !req
235. I don't need you!Copy !req
236. I don't want you!
And don't say I'm rich!Copy !req
237. - I won't say it no more.
- Is that what you and Idella talk about?Copy !req
238. I hate being discussed behind
my back in my own house!Copy !req
239. I was born on Forsyth Street.Copy !req
240. Believe me. I know
the value of a penny!Copy !req
241. My brother brought
home a white cat once.Copy !req
242. We couldn't keep it because
we couldn't afford to feed it!Copy !req
243. My sister saved up money...Copy !req
244. so I could become a teacher!
We had nothing!Copy !req
245. But you're doing all right now!Copy !req
246. What are you doing?Copy !req
247. I'm trying to drive you to the store!Copy !req
248. Where are you off to this
morning, Miss Werthan?Copy !req
249. Just a little shopping.Copy !req
250. Go away! I've ridden the trolley
with the groceries plenty of times!Copy !req
251. But I can't keep taking
Mr. Werthan's money for doing nothing.Copy !req
252. How much he pay you?Copy !req
253. Miss Daisy, that's between him and me.Copy !req
254. Anything over $7 a week
is highway robbery!Copy !req
255. You sure are right about that!Copy !req
256. Especially since I don't do nothing...Copy !req
257. but sit on a stool all day.Copy !req
258. All right!Copy !req
259. Piggly Wiggly.Copy !req
260. Then home. Nowhere else.Copy !req
261. Oh, I just love the smell of a new car.Copy !req
262. Don't you, Miss Daisy?Copy !req
263. I am nobody's fool, Hoke.Copy !req
264. I know!Copy !req
265. My husband taught me to run a car.Copy !req
266. I remember everything he said.Copy !req
267. So don't think even for a second you...Copy !req
268. Wait. You're speeding.Copy !req
269. I can see it!Copy !req
270. We only going 19 miles an hour.Copy !req
271. I like to go under the speed limit.Copy !req
272. But the speed limit is 35 here.Copy !req
273. The slower you go the more gas you save.Copy !req
274. My husband taught me that!Copy !req
275. Ain't hardly moving.
Might as well walk...Copy !req
276. to Piggly Wiggly.Copy !req
277. Is this your car?Copy !req
278. No.Copy !req
279. Do you pay for the gas?Copy !req
280. - No.
- All right, then!Copy !req
281. My son thinks I'm losing my abilities...Copy !req
282. but I am still in control
of what goes on in my car!Copy !req
283. Where are you going?Copy !req
284. To the store, like you said.Copy !req
285. Why didn't you turn on Highland?Copy !req
286. Piggly Wiggly ain't on Highland.Copy !req
287. I know where it is!
Now take Highland Avenue.Copy !req
288. - That's 3 blocks out of the way.
- Go back this minute!Copy !req
289. - I can't turn now.
- I've been driving to Piggly Wiggly...Copy !req
290. since it opened for business.
This isn't the way!Copy !req
291. Go back this minute!Copy !req
292. Miss Daisy, look. Yonder
is the Piggly Wiggly. See?Copy !req
293. Get ready to turn.Copy !req
294. Careful. There's a little girl.Copy !req
295. Yes, I see her.Copy !req
296. Pull in here.Copy !req
297. Wait.Copy !req
298. Give me the keys.Copy !req
299. Stay right here by the car.Copy !req
300. And don't tell everyone my business.Copy !req
301. Mr. Werthan?Copy !req
302. Yes, sir, it's me! Guess where I'm at.Copy !req
303. I just drove your mama to the store!Copy !req
304. You know, she flapped around some,
but she's all right. She's in the store.Copy !req
305. Oh, Lord, she just looked
out the window and seen me.Copy !req
306. She'll probably throw a fit right
there at the check-out counter.Copy !req
307. Yes, sir. You are right about that.
It only took me 6 days.Copy !req
308. Same time it took the
Lord to make the world.Copy !req
309. Yes, sir. All right. 'Bye.Copy !req
310. Hey Oscar, Junior. How you
old boys doing today?Copy !req
311. How the lady been treating you?Copy !req
312. I'll tell you one thing;
she knows how to throw a fit.Copy !req
313. What's so funny?Copy !req
314. Nothing, Miss Daisy.
We just carrying on.Copy !req
315. Oscar and Junior been doing cleaning
here for 15 years. Never carried on before!Copy !req
316. Leave them alone.Copy !req
317. Put your coat on.
We're late.Copy !req
318. Idella, I'm gone now.Copy !req
319. I'm right behind her.Copy !req
320. Hear, oh Israel, the Lord
our God, the Lord is one.Copy !req
321. Such a nice man. And such a good,
short sermon, wasn't it?Copy !req
322. I can get it myself!Copy !req
323. Hurry out of here!Copy !req
324. Is something wrong, Miss Daisy?Copy !req
325. Something I done?Copy !req
326. Yes.Copy !req
327. I haven't done anything.Copy !req
328. You parked the car right in front of the
temple, like I was the Queen of Romania.Copy !req
329. Everybody saw you!Copy !req
330. I said to wait for me in back.Copy !req
331. Yes, Ma'am, but I was just trying to...Copy !req
332. There were two chauffeurs
right behind me.Copy !req
333. You made me look like a fool.
A g.d. fool!Copy !req
334. Oh, Miss Daisy, Lord
knows you ain't no fool!Copy !req
335. Slow down!Copy !req
336. Miriam and Beulah, I could see what
they were thinking when we came out.Copy !req
337. What's that?Copy !req
338. That I was pretending to be rich!Copy !req
339. - You is rich.
- No, I'm not!Copy !req
340. Nobody can say I put on airs.Copy !req
341. On Forsyth Street we made many
meals of grits and gravy.Copy !req
342. I have done without plenty of times.Copy !req
343. Miss Daisy, if I was to ever
get my hands on what you got...Copy !req
344. shoot, I'd shake it around
for everyone in the world to see.Copy !req
345. That's vulgar! Don't talk to me!Copy !req
346. Never understand some white folks.Copy !req
347. What was that? I heard that!Copy !req
348. Now, Miss Daisy...
you needs a chauffeur...Copy !req
349. and Lord knows I need a job.Copy !req
350. So why don't we just leave it at that?Copy !req
351. Good morning, Mama.
What's the matter?Copy !req
352. No, I don't always think
something's wrong when you call.Copy !req
353. Just when you call so early.Copy !req
354. What?Copy !req
355. All right. I'll be there
as soon as I can.Copy !req
356. I better get on over there.Copy !req
357. 'Bye.Copy !req
358. Come on.Copy !req
359. It's not healthy to rush like this.Copy !req
360. I eat too much, anyway.Copy !req
361. Besides, it sounds like she needs me.Copy !req
362. When doesn't it?
Give Mother Werthan my love.Copy !req
363. Coffee, Katie Bell!Copy !req
364. I didn't expect to
find you in one piece.Copy !req
365. I wanted you to be here
when he comes.Copy !req
366. I wanted you to hear it
for yourself.Copy !req
367. What is going on?Copy !req
368. He's stealing from me.Copy !req
369. Hoke? Are you sure?Copy !req
370. I don't make empty accusations.
I have proof!Copy !req
371. This! I found it hidden in the
garbage under some coffee grounds.Copy !req
372. - He stole a can of salmon?
- Here it is!Copy !req
373. I knew there was something funny.Copy !req
374. They all take things, you know.
So I counted.Copy !req
375. The silverware first.Copy !req
376. Then the linen napkins.
And then I went into the pantry.Copy !req
377. And the first thing that
caught my eye was a hole...Copy !req
378. behind the lima beans.Copy !req
379. And I knew right away.Copy !req
380. There are only 8 cans of salmon.
I had 9!Copy !req
381. 3 for $1 on sale.Copy !req
382. Very clever, Mama.Copy !req
383. I missed my breakfast and
I'm late to a meeting...Copy !req
384. for a 33c can of salmon?Copy !req
385. You want 33c? Here's $1!Copy !req
386. Here's $10! Buy yourself
a pantry full of salmon!Copy !req
387. Why, Boolie, the idea!Copy !req
388. Waving money at me like that!Copy !req
389. I don't want money.
I want my things!Copy !req
390. - One can of salmon?
- Well, it was mine!Copy !req
391. I leave him plenty of food every day.Copy !req
392. I tell him exactly what it is.Copy !req
393. Like children. If they want
something, they just take it!Copy !req
394. He'll never admit this.Copy !req
395. "No," he'll say, "I don't
know nothing about that!"Copy !req
396. I don't like it! I don't
like living with no privacy.Copy !req
397. Go ahead, defend him.
You always do!Copy !req
398. I give up! You want to drive again,
arrange your own insurance.Copy !req
399. Take the trolley.Copy !req
400. Buy yourself a taxicab!
Anything you want!Copy !req
401. Just leave me out of it!Copy !req
402. Why, Boolie!Copy !req
403. What's he doing here
this time of morning?Copy !req
404. Can't be good, I promise you that!Copy !req
405. I think it's fixing to
clear up out there!Copy !req
406. Excuse me, Mr. Werthan.
Y'all busy?Copy !req
407. We have to have a little talk, Hoke.Copy !req
408. All right, just let me
get out of my coat.Copy !req
409. Yesterday, while you were out,
I ate a can of your salmon.Copy !req
410. Now I know you said to eat
the leftover pork chops.Copy !req
411. Well, they were kind of stiff.Copy !req
412. So, I stopped by the Piggly
Wiggly and got you another can.Copy !req
413. Do you want me to put it on the shelf?Copy !req
414. Yes, thank you, Hoke.Copy !req
415. Be right with you, Mr. Werthan.Copy !req
416. Well, I got to get dressed now.Copy !req
417. Good-bye, son.Copy !req
418. You know, Miss Daisy,
I was just thinking.Copy !req
419. We been out to this cemetery
3 times this month already.Copy !req
420. It ain't even the 20th yet.Copy !req
421. It's good to come in nice weather.Copy !req
422. Yes, ma'am. You sure
right about that. Sure is.Copy !req
423. Mr. Sig's grave is mighty well tended.Copy !req
424. I think you're the best widow
in the State of Georgia.Copy !req
425. Boolie's always pestering me to have
the staff here tend to this plot.Copy !req
426. "Perpetual care," they call it.Copy !req
427. Well, don't you do it!Copy !req
428. It's right to have member of
the family looking after you.Copy !req
429. I'll never have that! Boolie will have
me in perpetual care before I'm cold.Copy !req
430. Miss Daisy, you ought to
go on away from here!Copy !req
431. Put that azalea on Leo Bauer's grave.Copy !req
432. Leo Bauer. Is that Miss
Rose Bauer's husband?Copy !req
433. She asked me to bring it out here.Copy !req
434. Where is his grave at, Miss Daisy?Copy !req
435. I'm not exactly sure. I know
it's two rows over that way.Copy !req
436. You'll see the headstone, "Bauer."Copy !req
437. What's wrong?Copy !req
438. Nothing wrong.
Nothing the matter at all.Copy !req
439. Now, you say...Copy !req
440. I told you it's two rows over that way.
It says "Bauer" on the headstone.Copy !req
441. What that look like?Copy !req
442. What are you talking about?Copy !req
443. I'm talking about I can't read, ma'am.Copy !req
444. What?Copy !req
445. I can't read, Miss Daisy.Copy !req
446. You look at the paper all the time.Copy !req
447. Well, that's just it. I just be looking!Copy !req
448. I try to dope out what's going on...Copy !req
449. from the pictures.Copy !req
450. You know your letters?Copy !req
451. Yes, ma'am. I know my ABC's.
I just can't read.Copy !req
452. Stop saying that!
You're making me mad!Copy !req
453. If you know letters, then you can read.Copy !req
454. You just don't know you can read.Copy !req
455. I taught some of the stupidest
children God ever put on this earth.Copy !req
456. And they all could read enough
to find a name on a tombstone.Copy !req
457. The name is "Bauer."Copy !req
458. "Bauer!" What does that "buh"
letter sound like?Copy !req
459. - B?
- Of course!Copy !req
460. "Er." That is the last part. "Bauer!"Copy !req
461. What letter sounds like "er"?Copy !req
462. R!Copy !req
463. - So the first letter is...
- B!Copy !req
464. And the last letter?Copy !req
465. R!Copy !req
466. B-R. Brr.Copy !req
467. It even sounds like Bauer, doesn't it?Copy !req
468. It sure do, Miss Daisy! It sure do!Copy !req
469. - That it?
- That's it.Copy !req
470. - What about the middle?
- Not right now.Copy !req
471. This will be enough for you to find it.Copy !req
472. B at the beginning.Copy !req
473. R at the end.Copy !req
474. B... R.Copy !req
475. That's it.Copy !req
476. That's all right!Copy !req
477. I sure do appreciate this!Copy !req
478. Don't be ridiculous!Copy !req
479. Let's get all this back in the car.
I'm burning up.Copy !req
480. Of course I told you!Copy !req
481. Of course I told you!Copy !req
482. How can I be expected to buy it
if you don't write it down?Copy !req
483. I'm sorry, Miss Florine.Copy !req
484. I need you.Copy !req
485. I'll be right there.Copy !req
486. Do you have any idea what it takes
to give a Christmas reception?Copy !req
487. It takes an eye for detail.Copy !req
488. I told you a million times,
Katie Bell, write it down!Copy !req
489. More I cannot do!Copy !req
490. We are out of coconut.Copy !req
491. I'm sure we can manage.Copy !req
492. - I told her.
- You didn't write it down!Copy !req
493. I don't need to stand and
listen to excuses on Christmas.Copy !req
494. You figure out how to serve ambrosia to
50 people without coconut. I give up!Copy !req
495. Don't worry, Katie Bell.
It's not quite the end of the world.Copy !req
496. Everybody's giving the Georgia
Power Company a merry Christmas.Copy !req
497. Bet Miss Florine beat them all,
especially with the new house.Copy !req
498. Absurd!Copy !req
499. If I had a nose like Florine, I wouldn't
say, "Merry Christmas" to anybody.Copy !req
500. I enjoy Christmas at their house.Copy !req
501. No wonder. You're the
only Christian in the place.Copy !req
502. They got that new cook.Copy !req
503. Florine never could keep help.
Of course, it's none of my affair.Copy !req
504. Too much running around.
The Garden Club this...Copy !req
505. the Junior League that.
As if they'd give her the time of day.Copy !req
506. She'd die before she'd fix a glass of
iced tea for the Temple Sisterhood.Copy !req
507. I hope she doesn't take it into
her head to sing this year.Copy !req
508. Lord have mercy!
Look what Miss Florine done.Copy !req
509. If her grandfather, old man
Frietag, could see this.Copy !req
510. What is it you say?Copy !req
511. I bet he'd jump out of his
grave and snatch her baldheaded.Copy !req
512. Jump up and snatch her baldheaded.Copy !req
513. Oh, Miss Daisy, you
go on away from here.Copy !req
514. Wait a minute.Copy !req
515. This isn't a Christmas present.Copy !req
516. You know I don't give
Christmas presents.Copy !req
517. I happened to run
across it this morning.Copy !req
518. Well, go on, open it.Copy !req
519. Look at that.Copy !req
520. Ain't nobody never gave
me no book before.Copy !req
521. "Zaner Method Writing."Copy !req
522. I always taught out of these.
I saved a few.Copy !req
523. It's faded, but it works.Copy !req
524. If you practice, you'll write nicely.Copy !req
525. But you have to practice.Copy !req
526. I taught Mayor Hartsfield
out of the same book.Copy !req
527. I sure do thank you.Copy !req
528. It's not a Christmas present.Copy !req
529. Jews have no business
giving Christmas presents.Copy !req
530. You don't have to go yapping
about this to Boolie or Florine.Copy !req
531. This is between you and me.Copy !req
532. Merry Christmas, Mother Werthan.Copy !req
533. I hope I don't spit up.Copy !req
534. Merry Christmas, Mama. Hoke.Copy !req
535. She fought me on this one.Copy !req
536. But it is time for a trade.Copy !req
537. I'll bet you'll miss the old one.Copy !req
538. No, sir, I don't expect
I'll miss it that much.Copy !req
539. Come on, you're the only one
who's driven it all this time.Copy !req
540. Won't you be a little
sorry to see it go?Copy !req
541. It ain't going nowhere.
I done bought it.Copy !req
542. You didn't.Copy !req
543. I sure did. Already made the
deal with Mr. Red Mitchell.Copy !req
544. How much?Copy !req
545. That is for him and me to know.Copy !req
546. Hey, Boolie!Copy !req
547. Got a gem here.Copy !req
548. Got that paper, Hoke?Copy !req
549. I got it right here.Copy !req
550. Be right there.Copy !req
551. Why didn't you buy it from Mama?
Would have saved money.Copy !req
552. No, sir. Your mama is in my
business enough as it is.Copy !req
553. I ain't studying about making
monthly payments to her.Copy !req
554. She is mine the regular way.Copy !req
555. The Hudson's a good car.Copy !req
556. Nobody knows that better than you.Copy !req
557. Best that ever come off the line.Copy !req
558. And this here new one, if Miss
Daisy don't take to it...Copy !req
559. I'll let her ride in this one.Copy !req
560. Mighty nice of you.Copy !req
561. We do what we can.Copy !req
562. It is three after seven.Copy !req
563. Yes, Ma'am. You said we were
leaving at fifteen to eight.Copy !req
564. At the latest, I said.Copy !req
565. What business you got dragging this
mess out of the house by yourself?Copy !req
566. Who was here to help me?Copy !req
567. Lord have mercy!Copy !req
568. It don't take more than 5
minutes to load this car.Copy !req
569. You're fixing to break your arms and
your legs before we even leave the manor.Copy !req
570. You're taking on too much.Copy !req
571. I hate doing things at the last minute.Copy !req
572. What you talking about?
Been ready to go for a week and a half.Copy !req
573. - Give me that package.
- No, don't touch that.Copy !req
574. It sure is pretty.
Is that Mr. Walter's present?Copy !req
575. Yes. It's fragile.
I'll put it on the seat.Copy !req
576. You nearly missed us.Copy !req
577. You were leaving at quarter of.Copy !req
578. - She's taking on.
- Be still!Copy !req
579. Florine bought this for Uncle Walter.Copy !req
580. Mama, it's not a snake!Copy !req
581. I think it's notepaper.Copy !req
582. How appropriate.
Uncle Walter can't see.Copy !req
583. Maybe it's soap.Copy !req
584. How nice that you take an interest
in your uncle's 90th birthday.Copy !req
585. Don't start up with me, mama...Copy !req
586. I can't go
to Mobile with you.Copy !req
587. I have to go to New York
for a convention.Copy !req
588. The convention starts Monday.Copy !req
589. And I know what else I know.Copy !req
590. Leave Florine out of this.
She ordered those tickets 8 months ago.Copy !req
591. I'm sure "My Fair Lady" is more
important than your relatives.Copy !req
592. Those Christians will be impressed.Copy !req
593. I can't talk to you
when you're like this.Copy !req
594. - We're expected in Mobile for supper.
- You'll be there.Copy !req
595. - How will you stand her all day?
- They'll fix crab. All that trouble.Copy !req
596. She's just worked up.Copy !req
597. Here's $50 in case you have trouble.Copy !req
598. Don't show it to Mama!Copy !req
599. - Have you got a map?
- She's got it in the back seat.Copy !req
600. It's 7:16!Copy !req
601. You should have a job on the
radio announcing the time.Copy !req
602. - I want to miss rush hour.
- You will.Copy !req
603. Congratulate Uncle Walter for me
and kiss everybody in Mobile.Copy !req
604. The air conditioning...Copy !req
605. did you check it, like I said?Copy !req
606. I got the air conditioning checked.Copy !req
607. I don't know why.
You never let me turn it on!Copy !req
608. Hush up!Copy !req
609. Good luck!Copy !req
610. Good God!Copy !req
611. Turn left.Copy !req
612. No, right! Turn right!Copy !req
613. Did I ever tell you about the
first time I left Georgia?Copy !req
614. When was that?Copy !req
615. A few minutes back!Copy !req
616. Go on!Copy !req
617. My daughter...Copy !req
618. is married to a Pullman porter.Copy !req
619. She is always on the go.Copy !req
620. New York, Detroit, St. Lois.Copy !req
621. I say, "That's all well
and good, Tommie Lee...Copy !req
622. but I don't feel the need for it."Copy !req
623. So here it is.Copy !req
624. The first time.Copy !req
625. And I might tell you, Miss Daisy...Copy !req
626. Alabama is not
looking like much so far!Copy !req
627. Idella sure does stuff eggs good!Copy !req
628. You stuff yourself good.Copy !req
629. I was thinking about the
first time I went to Mobile.Copy !req
630. It was Walter's wedding: 1888.Copy !req
631. 1888! You were nothing
but a little bitty thing.Copy !req
632. I was 12.Copy !req
633. We went on the train.Copy !req
634. Oh, I was so excited.Copy !req
635. I'd never been in a wedding party.Copy !req
636. I had never seen the ocean.Copy !req
637. Papa said it was the Gulf of Mexico, not
the ocean, but it was all the same to me.Copy !req
638. I asked Papa if it was all right
for me to dip my hand in the water.Copy !req
639. And he laughed because I was so timid.Copy !req
640. And then I tasted the
salt water on my fingers.Copy !req
641. Isn't that a silly thing to remember?Copy !req
642. No sillier than most of
what folks remember.Copy !req
643. Boy!Copy !req
644. What are you doing with this car?Copy !req
645. This is my car, officer.Copy !req
646. Can I see your registration,
please, and your license, boy.Copy !req
647. What's this name? Wertheran?Copy !req
648. Werthan.Copy !req
649. Never heard that one.
What is it?Copy !req
650. It is of German derivation.Copy !req
651. German derivation.Copy !req
652. Thank you, ma'am.Copy !req
653. An old nigger and an old Jew woman
riding down the road together.Copy !req
654. Now that is one sorry sight.Copy !req
655. Oh, my God!Copy !req
656. The sign says Phenix City 30 miles.Copy !req
657. We're not supposed to go to
Phenix City! Oh, my God!Copy !req
658. Maybe you read it wrong.Copy !req
659. I didn't. Stop the car. Stop the car!Copy !req
660. Lord have mercy.Copy !req
661. Here. You took the
wrong turn at Opelika.Copy !req
662. You took it with me, Miss Daisy.
And you got the map.Copy !req
663. I was getting the lunch!
Go on back. My God!Copy !req
664. It aint' more than 30
minutes since we turned.Copy !req
665. They fixed crab for me.Copy !req
666. Minnie always fixes crab.
They go to so much trouble.Copy !req
667. It's all ruined by now.Copy !req
668. We going to have to pull over.Copy !req
669. What's wrong with the car?Copy !req
670. There ain't nothing wrong with the car.Copy !req
671. I got to be excused.Copy !req
672. I got to go make water.Copy !req
673. You should have thought of
that at the service station.Copy !req
674. You know colored can't use the toilet
at any service station, Miss Daisy.Copy !req
675. There's no time to stop.
We'll be in Mobile soon. You can wait.Copy !req
676. No, ma'am.Copy !req
677. - I told you to wait!
- I heard what you said.Copy !req
678. How do you think I feel having to
ask you can I go make water...Copy !req
679. like I am some child.Copy !req
680. I'd be ashamed.Copy !req
681. I ain't no child, Miss Daisy.Copy !req
682. And I ain't just a back of the neck you
look at while you go where you got to go.Copy !req
683. I am a man. I'm near 70 years old.
And I know when my bladder's full.Copy !req
684. Now I'm going to get out of this car...Copy !req
685. and go over there
and do what I got to do.Copy !req
686. And I'm taking the key with me, too.
Now that's all there is to it!Copy !req
687. Hoke!Copy !req
688. Hoke!Copy !req
689. Hoke?Copy !req
690. You all right, Miss Daisy?Copy !req
691. Of course I am.Copy !req
692. Is that you, Slick? It's Boolie.
How you doing?Copy !req
693. Congratulations on your dad's big day.Copy !req
694. Thank you, Boolie. Thank you.
Aunt Daisy!Copy !req
695. It's Boolie on the phone.Copy !req
696. Hey, son!Copy !req
697. Uncle Walter appreciates your call.Copy !req
698. I don't think he can come to the phone.Copy !req
699. Fine. How's Hoke?Copy !req
700. What do you mean?
How should he be?Copy !req
701. Happy birthday, Uncle Walter.Copy !req
702. I got to hang up now, Boolie.Copy !req
703. Yeah, I'll tell him.Copy !req
704. For he's a jolly good fellow.Copy !req
705. Which nobody can deny!Copy !req
706. Morning, Miss McClatchey.Copy !req
707. Well, good morning to you.Copy !req
708. Can I see him?Copy !req
709. It's Mr. Sinclair Harris, sir.Copy !req
710. My cousin Sinclair?Copy !req
711. His wife... The one that talk funny.Copy !req
712. She's from Canton, Ohio.Copy !req
713. She's trying to hire me.Copy !req
714. - What?
- Yes, sir. She said:Copy !req
715. "How they treating you
down there, Hoke?"Copy !req
716. You know how she sound,
like her nose stuffed up.Copy !req
717. So I said, "Fine, Mrs. Harris,
just fine, thank you."Copy !req
718. She said, "Well, you looking for
a change, you know who to call."Copy !req
719. I'll be damned!Copy !req
720. I thought you ought to know about it.Copy !req
721. I'll be goddamned.Copy !req
722. Ain't she a mess?Copy !req
723. Said, "Name your own salary."Copy !req
724. I see. And did you?Copy !req
725. Did I what?Copy !req
726. - Name your own salary?
- Go away. What you think I am?Copy !req
727. I ain't studying working for
no trashy something like her.Copy !req
728. But she got you thinking, didn't she?Copy !req
729. Well, sir, you might say that.Copy !req
730. Name your salary.Copy !req
731. That's exactly what she said.Copy !req
732. Well, how does $65 a week sound?Copy !req
733. Sounds pretty good, sir.Copy !req
734. Course, $75 sounds better.Copy !req
735. It sure does!Copy !req
736. Beginning this week.Copy !req
737. That's mighty nice of you.Copy !req
738. I sure appreciate this. Thank you.Copy !req
739. You ever have folks fighting over you?Copy !req
740. No.Copy !req
741. It sure feels good.Copy !req
742. One dot.Copy !req
743. Nine dot.Copy !req
744. Two dot.Copy !req
745. Mah jongg.Copy !req
746. You are the luckiest thing, Beulah!Copy !req
747. Excuse me.Copy !req
748. I don't know how you can look at that.Copy !req
749. See it a few times, you get in it.Copy !req
750. Both your brains are
fixing to evaporate.Copy !req
751. You can bring the cake now, Hoke.Copy !req
752. Don't make a mess with those peas.Copy !req
753. Do I ever?Copy !req
754. Lord have mercy, look at that.
Ain't she got a lot of hair?Copy !req
755. How she get it so shiny?Copy !req
756. Washes it in mayonnaise.Copy !req
757. - Go on away from here, Idella!
- Yes, she did.Copy !req
758. I read it in Life magazine.Copy !req
759. Don't seem human, does it?Copy !req
760. He will tear you to shreds!Copy !req
761. I am not going into that court.
And I'm not giving in!Copy !req
762. You are at the end of your rope.Copy !req
763. You murdered Carlson.
You have to pay!Copy !req
764. Either choose the easy way out,
or you go into the courtroom...Copy !req
765. and let them carve you
into pathetic little bits.Copy !req
766. You have a minute to make up your mind.Copy !req
767. What happened? She up to
something, ain't she?Copy !req
768. - You fixing to ruin it.
- What are you talking about?Copy !req
769. You got the chicken too close
together and the fire is too high.Copy !req
770. Mind your business.Copy !req
771. It's your chicken.Copy !req
772. Thank you, Hoke.Copy !req
773. Now you enjoy it.Copy !req
774. Amen.Copy !req
775. Who is it?Copy !req
776. Morning, Miss Daisy.Copy !req
777. What in the world...?Copy !req
778. I learned how to drive on ice when
I delivered milk for the dairy.Copy !req
779. Ain't nothing to it.Copy !req
780. Other folks are banging into each
other like they're in the funny papers.Copy !req
781. I figured your stove was out, so
I stopped by the Krispy Kreme.Copy !req
782. I know you got to have
coffee in the morning.Copy !req
783. How sweet of you, Hoke.Copy !req
784. We ain't had any good coffee
around here since Idella passed.Copy !req
785. I can fix her biscuits.Copy !req
786. We both can make her fried chicken.Copy !req
787. But nobody can make Idella's coffee.Copy !req
788. Ain't that the truth?Copy !req
789. Idella was lucky.Copy !req
790. I expect she was.Copy !req
791. Where are you going?Copy !req
792. I'm just going to take these things off.Copy !req
793. I don't know what you can do here
today, except keep me company.Copy !req
794. Then I'll see if I can make us a fire.Copy !req
795. Eat anything you want
out of the ice box.Copy !req
796. It will all spoil, anyway.Copy !req
797. And wipe up what you
tracked onto my floor.Copy !req
798. What do you think I am, a mess?Copy !req
799. Mama, I'll be right out...Copy !req
800. when I can get down my own driveway.Copy !req
801. Stay home, Boolie.
Hoke is here with me.Copy !req
802. How'd he manage that?Copy !req
803. He's very handy. I'm fine.
I don't need a thing in the world.Copy !req
804. Hello? I have the wrong number.
Mama's saying loving things about Hoke.Copy !req
805. I didn't say I love him.
I said he was handy.Copy !req
806. Honestly! Are you trying to irritate
me in the middle of an ice storm?Copy !req
807. Thank you, Wellborn.Copy !req
808. Thank you all.Copy !req
809. I am deeply grateful to be
chosen 1966 Man of the Year...Copy !req
810. by the Atlanta Business Council.Copy !req
811. An honor I've seen bestowed
on mighty fine fellows.Copy !req
812. And one I never expected
would come to me.Copy !req
813. I'm afraid that my loss up here...Copy !req
814. and my gain down here...Copy !req
815. have given me an air of
competence that I don't possess.Copy !req
816. I will tell you that I wish my father
and grandfather could see this.Copy !req
817. About 72 years ago, they leased
an old mill up on Decatur Road...Copy !req
818. with I believe 25 looms in operation.Copy !req
819. They managed to grow with Atlanta.Copy !req
820. And Werthan Industries believes that
what we want is what Atlanta wants.Copy !req
821. And this award proves
that we were right.Copy !req
822. I thank you.Copy !req
823. Well?Copy !req
824. What is it? What took you so long?Copy !req
825. I couldn't help it.
There's a big mess up yonder.Copy !req
826. What's the matter? I might as
well not go to temple at all!Copy !req
827. No, ma'am, you ain't going to get to
the temple this morning, Miss Daisy.Copy !req
828. Why not? What's the matter with you?Copy !req
829. Somebody has bombed the temple.Copy !req
830. What? Bombed the temple?Copy !req
831. That's how come
we stuck here so long.Copy !req
832. I don't believe it!Copy !req
833. That's what the policeman just said.Copy !req
834. Oh, my God. Was anybody there?
Were people hurt?Copy !req
835. I don't know. He didn't say.Copy !req
836. Who would do such a thing?Copy !req
837. You know good as me, Miss Daisy.
It always be the same ones.Copy !req
838. I remember one time back
down there in Macon.Copy !req
839. Lord, I couldn't've been more than
10 or 11 years old, I reckon.Copy !req
840. I had this friend named Porter.Copy !req
841. One day there his daddy
was hanging from a tree.Copy !req
842. Now just the day before, we'd
all been pitching horseshoes.Copy !req
843. Laughing and carrying on and
talking about how me and Porter...Copy !req
844. was going to have strong
right arms, just like him.Copy !req
845. Lord, there he was.
Hanging up yonder in the tree.Copy !req
846. Had his hand tied behind him.
Flies was all over him.Copy !req
847. I tell you, I threw up
where I was standing.Copy !req
848. You go on and cry.Copy !req
849. I'm not crying.Copy !req
850. Why did you tell me that story?Copy !req
851. Lord, I don't know, Miss Daisy.Copy !req
852. That mess back there
put me in mind of it.Copy !req
853. Ridiculous! The temple
has nothing to do with it!Copy !req
854. Yes, ma'am, if you say so.Copy !req
855. We don't know. Maybe that
policeman wasn't telling the truth.Copy !req
856. Why would he go and lie
about a thing like that?Copy !req
857. You never get things right!Copy !req
858. Miss Daisy, somebody done bombed
that temple and you know it!Copy !req
859. I don't want to hear anymore about it!Copy !req
860. - You the boss.
- Don't talk to me!Copy !req
861. - Where are you?
- Up here!Copy !req
862. Hello, Mama. How are you feeling?Copy !req
863. Not a good question to
ask somebody nearly 90!Copy !req
864. Well, you look fine.Copy !req
865. It's my ageless appeal!Copy !req
866. Miss McClatchey gave me your message.Copy !req
867. Florine is invited, too.Copy !req
868. Thank you.Copy !req
869. I guess Hoke should drive us.
There'll be a crowd.Copy !req
870. Mama, we have to talk about this.Copy !req
871. About what?Copy !req
872. About the feasibility of all this.Copy !req
873. I believe Martin Luther King has
done some mighty fine things.Copy !req
874. If you don't want to go,
why don't you just say so?Copy !req
875. I want to go! You know
how I feel about him.Copy !req
876. Of course, but Florine...Copy !req
877. Florine has nothing to do with it.
I still have to do business here.Copy !req
878. I see. Werthan Bag will go out of
business if you attend the King dinner.Copy !req
879. Not exactly. But a lot of men I do
business with would not like it!Copy !req
880. They might...Copy !req
881. snicker a little.Copy !req
882. Call me Martin Luther
Werthan behind my back.Copy !req
883. Maybe I wouldn't hear
about meetings at the Club.Copy !req
884. Old Jack Raphael at Ideal Mills, he's a
New York Jew instead of a Georgia Jew.Copy !req
885. All the really smart ones come
from New York, don't they?Copy !req
886. Some might throw their business to Jack
instead of old Martin Luther Werthan.Copy !req
887. I don't know.
Maybe it wouldn't happen.Copy !req
888. And sometimes that's
the way things work.Copy !req
889. Anyway, if we don't use those
seats, somebody else will.Copy !req
890. If we do not use those seats?
I'm not supposed to go, either?Copy !req
891. You can do whatever you want.Copy !req
892. Thanks for your permission.Copy !req
893. Can I ask you something?Copy !req
894. When did you get so fired up about
Martin Luther King?Copy !req
895. Why, Boolie!Copy !req
896. I've never been prejudiced
in my life and you know it.Copy !req
897. Then ask Hoke to go with you.Copy !req
898. Don't be ridiculous. He wouldn't go.Copy !req
899. Ask him and see.Copy !req
900. All right!Copy !req
901. Boolie said the silliest
thing the other day.Copy !req
902. What did he say?Copy !req
903. He was talking about Martin Luther Ling.Copy !req
904. I guess you know him, don't you?Copy !req
905. King? No, ma'am.
I don't know him.Copy !req
906. I was sure you did.Copy !req
907. But you've heard him preach?Copy !req
908. Yes, Ma'am, same way you have.
On the TV.Copy !req
909. I think he's wonderful.Copy !req
910. - What you getting at?
- It's so silly.Copy !req
911. Boolie says you wanted to go with me
to this dinner. Did you tell him that?Copy !req
912. No, I didn't.Copy !req
913. I didn't think so. What'd be the point?
You can hear him whenever you want.Copy !req
914. I think it's wonderful the
way things are changing.Copy !req
915. Now what you think
I am, Miss Daisy?Copy !req
916. What do you mean?Copy !req
917. The invitation to this dinner...Copy !req
918. came in the mail a month ago.Copy !req
919. Now, if did be you wanted
me to go with you...Copy !req
920. how come you wait 'till we in the
car on the way before you asked me?Copy !req
921. What? All I said was Boolie
said you wanted to go.Copy !req
922. Next time you want me to go
somewhere ask me regular.Copy !req
923. You don't have to carry on so much.Copy !req
924. Let's just leave it alone.Copy !req
925. Honestly!Copy !req
926. Talk about things changing.
They ain't changed all that much.Copy !req
927. I'll help you.Copy !req
928. Thank you, Hoke, I can help myself.Copy !req
929. can see that the South
has marvelous possibilities.Copy !req
930. Yet in spite of these assets...Copy !req
931. segregation has placed the South...Copy !req
932. socially, educationally, and
economically behind the rest of the nation.Copy !req
933. Yet there are in the white South
millions of people of good will...Copy !req
934. whose voices are yet unheard...Copy !req
935. whose course is yet unclear...Copy !req
936. and whose courageous
acts are yet unseen.Copy !req
937. These millions are called upon...Copy !req
938. to gird their courage,
to speak out...Copy !req
939. to offer leadership that is needed.Copy !req
940. History will have to record...Copy !req
941. that the greatest tragedy of
this period of social transition...Copy !req
942. was not the vitriolic words and the
violent actions of the bad people...Copy !req
943. but the appalling silence and
indifference of the good people.Copy !req
944. And our generation
will have to repent...Copy !req
945. not only for the words and acts
of the children of darkness...Copy !req
946. but also for the fears and
apathy of the children of light.Copy !req
947. Morning, Miss Daisy.Copy !req
948. Miss Daisy?Copy !req
949. Hoke, is that Hoke?Copy !req
950. It's me. You all right?Copy !req
951. Hoke, what did I do with my papers?Copy !req
952. My papers! I had them all
corrected last night...Copy !req
953. and I put them where I wouldn't
forget them on my way to school.Copy !req
954. What did you do with them?Copy !req
955. What are you talking about?Copy !req
956. The children will be disappointed if
I don't give them their homework.Copy !req
957. I always give it back the next day.Copy !req
958. That's why they like me.Copy !req
959. You talking out your head.Copy !req
960. Why aren't you helping me?Copy !req
961. What'll I do?Copy !req
962. Find those papers. I told you.Copy !req
963. It's all right if you moved them.
I won't be mad.Copy !req
964. But I've got to get to school.
I'll be late.Copy !req
965. Who will take care of my class?
They'll be all alone. Oh, God!Copy !req
966. I do everything wrong!Copy !req
967. Now set down in here. You're
going to fall and hurt yourself.Copy !req
968. I'm so sorry. It's all my fault.
I didn't do right.Copy !req
969. It's so awful!Copy !req
970. Ain't nothing awful except
the way you carrying on.Copy !req
971. It's all my fault.Copy !req
972. I can't find the papers.
The children are waiting.Copy !req
973. There ain't nobody waiting on you.
You ain't a teacher.Copy !req
974. It doesn't make any difference.Copy !req
975. Now listen, there ain't
nothing wrong with you!Copy !req
976. You don't know.Copy !req
977. This Hoke here.Copy !req
978. What can I do for you?Copy !req
979. It's your mama.Copy !req
980. What's wrong?Copy !req
981. She's taking on something awful.Copy !req
982. Why's today different
from any other day?Copy !req
983. No, sir. It's not the same.Copy !req
984. I'll be right there.Copy !req
985. Miss Daisy, now there ain't
nothing wrong with you!Copy !req
986. Your mind done took a turn this morning.Copy !req
987. You'll snap back if you let yourself.Copy !req
988. I can't! I can't!Copy !req
989. You're a lucky old woman.Copy !req
990. No! It's all a mess now, and
I can't do anything about it.Copy !req
991. Now look at you. You rich,
you well for your time.Copy !req
992. You got folks who care
what happens to you.Copy !req
993. I am being trouble. I don't
want to be trouble to anybody.Copy !req
994. You want something to cry about,
I'll run you to the state home...Copy !req
995. let you see what's laying out there.Copy !req
996. I bet there ain't one of them
carrying on the way you doing.Copy !req
997. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Those poor children.Copy !req
998. You keep this up and Mr. Werthan's
going to call that doctor on you.Copy !req
999. Just as sure as you born, that doctor is
going to have you out in that asylum.Copy !req
1000. Now is that the way you want it to be?Copy !req
1001. Do you still have that Hudson?Copy !req
1002. You talking about from
when I first come here?Copy !req
1003. No, Miss Daisy.Copy !req
1004. That thing been in the junkyard now...
more than 15 years.Copy !req
1005. I'm driving your next to last car now.Copy !req
1006. 1965 Cadillac.Copy !req
1007. It's running fine as wine, too.Copy !req
1008. You ought not to be driving
anything the way you see.Copy !req
1009. Now, how you know how I can see
'less'n you can look out my eyes.Copy !req
1010. You're my best friend.Copy !req
1011. - Go on now, Miss Daisy.
- No, really.Copy !req
1012. You are.Copy !req
1013. You are.Copy !req
1014. Well, Hoke, good to see you!Copy !req
1015. - You didn't drive yourself here?
- No, sir. I don't drive now.Copy !req
1016. My granddaughter drove me.Copy !req
1017. My Lord, is she old enough to drive?Copy !req
1018. Michelle is nigh on 37 years old now.Copy !req
1019. She's teaching biology at
yonder Spelman College.Copy !req
1020. I never knew that.Copy !req
1021. Seems mighty funny to sell the
house while Mama's still alive.Copy !req
1022. Yes, sir, I imagine it do.Copy !req
1023. But she hasn't been inside
the door for two years.Copy !req
1024. I know.Copy !req
1025. I suppose you don't see her very much.Copy !req
1026. No, sir, I don't.Copy !req
1027. It's hard, not driving, Mr. Werthan.Copy !req
1028. There's no bus that goes out yonder.Copy !req
1029. Course, I take a taxicab
as often as I can.Copy !req
1030. I' m sure she appreciates it.Copy !req
1031. Some days she's better than others.Copy !req
1032. But then, who ain't?Copy !req
1033. Happy Thanksgiving, Mama!Copy !req
1034. Look who I brought!Copy !req
1035. Morning, Miss Daisy.Copy !req
1036. You been keeping yourself busy?Copy !req
1037. She certainly has.
She goes to jewelry making...Copy !req
1038. How many times a week?Copy !req
1039. She makes all kinds of things.
Pins, bracelets...Copy !req
1040. She's a regular Tiffany's.Copy !req
1041. Isn't that something!Copy !req
1042. Are you all right, Mama?Copy !req
1043. Hoke, I thought of you the other day.Copy !req
1044. - I saw an Avondale milk truck.
- Is that right?Copy !req
1045. A big monster of a thing.
Must've had 16 wheels.Copy !req
1046. Go on away from here.Copy !req
1047. I wondered how you'd have
liked driving that around.Copy !req
1048. Hoke came to see me, not you.Copy !req
1049. This is one of her good days.Copy !req
1050. Mama, Florine said to wish you a happy
Thanksgiving. She's in Washington.Copy !req
1051. She's a Republican National
Committeewoman now.Copy !req
1052. Good God!Copy !req
1053. Go charm the nurses!Copy !req
1054. She wants you all to herself.Copy !req
1055. You are a doodle, Mama.Copy !req
1056. Boolie paying you still?Copy !req
1057. Every week.Copy !req
1058. How much?Copy !req
1059. Now that's between him and me.Copy !req
1060. Highway robbery!Copy !req
1061. It sure is.Copy !req
1062. It sure is.Copy !req
1063. How are you?Copy !req
1064. I'm doing the best I can.Copy !req
1065. Me, too.Copy !req
1066. Well, that's about all
there is to it then.Copy !req
1067. Look it here.Copy !req
1068. You didn't eat your Thanksgiving pie.Copy !req
1069. Go on now.Copy !req
1070. Here, let me help you.Copy !req
1071. Is it good?Copy !req
1072. Here comes some more.Copy !req
