Driving Miss Daisy (1989) Drama Edit

A big monster of a thing. Must've had 16 wheels.

A few minutes back!

About 72 years ago, they leased an old mill up on Decatur Road...

About the feasibility of all this.

About what?

Absurd!

Ain't hardly moving. Might as well walk...

Ain't nobody never gave me no book before.

Ain't nothing awful except the way you carrying on.

Ain't nothing to it.

Ain't she a mess?

Ain't that the truth?

Ain't that why Mr. Werthan hired me?

All right, Idella. See you tomorrow.

All right, just let me get out of my coat.

All right!

All right!

All right. But I'm going to find something to do here.

All right. I'll be there as soon as I can.

All the really smart ones come from New York, don't they?

Amen.

An honor I've seen bestowed on mighty fine fellows.

An old ****** and an old Jew woman riding down the road together.

And a five bamboo.

And don't tell everyone my business.

And he laughed because I was so timid.

And I ain't just a back of the neck you look at while you go where you got to go.

And I knew right away.

And I know what else I know.

And I might tell you, Miss Daisy...

And I'm taking the key with me, too. Now that's all there is to it!

And one I never expected would come to me.

And our generation will have to repent...

And sometimes that's the way things work.

And the first thing that caught my eye was a hole...

And the last letter?

And then I tasted the salt water on my fingers.

And they all could read enough to find a name on a tombstone.

And this award proves that we were right.

And this here new one, if Miss Daisy don't take to it...

And Werthan Industries believes that what we want is what Atlanta wants.

And wipe up what you tracked onto my floor.

Anything over $7 a week is highway robbery!

Anyway, if we don't use those seats, somebody else will.

Are you all right, Mama?

Are you all right, Miss Daisy?

Aren't you ashamed?!

Ask him and see.

At the latest, I said.

B at the beginning.

B R. Brr.

B... R.

Be right there.

Beginning this week.

Believe me. I know the value of a penny!

Besides, it sounds like she needs me.

Best that ever come off the line.

Bet Miss Florine beat them all, especially with the new house.

Boolie paying you still?

Boolie said the silliest thing the other day.

Boolie says you wanted to go with me to this dinner. Did you tell him that?

Boolie's always pestering me to have the staff here tend to this plot.

Both your brains are fixing to evaporate.

Boy!

But don't say none of that around me!

But I can't keep taking Mr. Werthan's money for doing nothing.

But I said, "No, thank you, ma'am."

But I've got to get to school. I'll be late.

But it is time for a trade.

But nobody can make Idella's coffee.

But she got you thinking, didn't she?

But she hasn't been inside the door for two years.

But the speed limit is 35 here.

But then, who ain't?

But you have to practice.

But you know, we have got some real serious talking to do.

But you're doing all right now!

But you've heard him preach?

Buy yourself a taxicab! Anything you want!

Bye!

Call Bell Elevator.

Call me Martin Luther Werthan behind my back.

Can I ask you something?

Can I see him?

Can I see your registration, please, and your license, boy.

Can't be good, I promise you that!

Careful. There's a little girl.

Coffee, Katie Bell!

Come on, you're the only one who's driven it all this time.

Come on.

Congratulate Uncle Walter for me and kiss everybody in Mobile.

Congratulations on your dad's big day.

Course, $75 sounds better.

Course, I take a taxicab as often as I can.

Cucumbers are pretty this summer.

Damn it, Mama! Quit being so stubborn. You know perfectly well...

Did I ever tell you about the first time I left Georgia?

Did I what?

Did you tell them it's an emergency!

Do I ever?

Do you have any idea what it takes to give a Christmas reception?

Do you pay for the gas?

Do you still have that Hudson?

Do you want me to put it on the shelf?

Do you work here?

Don't be ridiculous!

Don't be ridiculous. He wouldn't go.

Don't be sassy.

Don't make a mess with those peas.

Don't seem human, does it?

Don't show it to Mama!

Don't start up with me, mama...

Don't talk to Idella! She has work to do.

Don't worry, Katie Bell. It's not quite the end of the world.

Don't you, Miss Daisy?

Dusting the bulbs, Miss Daisy.

Eat anything you want out of the ice box.

Either choose the easy way out, or you go into the courtroom...

Especially since I don't do nothing...

Even so, there are chips in my wedding china.

Every insurance company in America is out there...

Every week.

Everybody saw you!

Everybody's giving the Georgia Power Company a merry Christmas.

Excuse me, Mr. Werthan. Y'all busy?

Excuse me, sir.

Excuse me.

Fat, too!

Find those papers. I told you.

Fine, I'll call first.

Fine. How's Hoke?

Florine bought this for Uncle Walter.

Florine has nothing to do with it. I still have to do business here.

Florine is invited, too.

Florine never could keep help. Of course, it's none of my affair.

Florine will have a fit if I don't get home on time tonight.

For he's a jolly good fellow.

German derivation.

Get down from there!

Get ready to turn.

Give me the keys.

Go ahead, defend him. You always do!

Go away! I've ridden the trolley with the groceries plenty of times!

Go back this minute!

Go charm the nurses!

Go charm the nurses!

Go on away from here.

Go on now.

Go on!

Go on! Don't keep the horses waiting.

Good God!

Good God!

Good luck!

Good morning, Mama.

Good morning, Mama. What's the matter?

Good morning, Miss Daisy.

Good morning, Miss Daisy. Thought I'd see after your zinnias.

Good to know you feel that way.

Good! Then you clean and I'll go down and run your office.

Got a gem here.

Got that paper, Hoke?

Got that stuff for Davis & Paxon?

Had his hand tied behind him. Flies was all over him.

Happy Thanksgiving, Mama!

He was talking about Martin Luther Ling.

He will tear you to shreds!

He'll never admit this.

He's stealing from me.

He's very handy. I'm fine. I don't need a thing in the world.

Hear, oh Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.

Hello, Mama. How are you feeling?

Hello? I have the wrong number. Mama's saying loving things about Hoke.

Here comes some more.

Here. You took the wrong turn at Opelika.

Here's $10! Buy yourself a pantry full of salmon!

Here's $50 in case you have trouble.

Hey Oscar, Junior. How you old boys doing today?

Hey, Boolie!

Hey, son!

Highway robbery!

His wife... The one that talk funny.

History will have to record...

Hoke came to see me, not you.

Hoke Colburn, sir.

Hoke the one I told you about.

Hoke, I need somebody to drive my mother around.

Hoke, I thought of you the other day.

Hoke, is that Hoke?

Hoke, what did I do with my papers?

Hoke!

Hoke!

Hoke?

Hoke? Are you sure?

Honestly!

Honestly! Are you trying to irritate me in the middle of an ice storm?

How appropriate. Uncle Walter can't see.

How are you, Idella?

How are you?

How can I be expected to buy it if you don't write it down?!

How do you know I'll be here?

How do you think I feel having to ask you can I go make water...

How many times a week?

How much he pay you?

How much?

How nice that you take an interest in your uncle's 90th birthday.

How she get it so shiny?

How sweet of you, Hoke.

How the lady been treating you?

How'd he manage that?

How'd you know about the elevator?

Hurry out of here!

Hush up!

I ain't no child, Miss Daisy.

I ain't studying about making monthly payments to her.

I ain't studying working for no trashy something like her.

I already did. They're backed up until around 1:00.

I always give it back the next day.

I always taught out of these. I saved a few.

I am a man. I'm near 70 years old. And I know when my bladder's full.

I am being trouble. I don't want to be trouble to anybody.

I am deeply grateful to be chosen 1966 Man of the Year...

I am nobody's fool, Hoke.

I am not going into that court. And I'm not giving in!

I asked Papa if it was all right for me to dip my hand in the water.

I bet he'd jump out of his grave and snatch her baldheaded.

I bet there ain't one of them carrying on the way you doing.

I better get back to the office.

I better get on over there.

I can fix her biscuits.

I can get it myself!

I can see it!

I can't find the papers. The children are waiting.

I can't read, Miss Daisy.

I can't talk to you when you're like this.

I can't! I can't!

I could put in tomatoes...

I couldn't help it. There's a big mess up yonder.

I declare!

I did not break the elevator.

I didn't expect to find you in one piece.

I didn't think so. What'd be the point? You can hear him whenever you want.

I didn't think so. What'd be the point? You can hear him whenever you want.

I didn't want to be too far from my grandbabies.

I didn't. Stop the car. Stop the car!

I do everything wrong!

I don't believe it!

I don't have any children. What I need...

I don't know how you can look at that.

I don't know what you can do here today, except keep me company.

I don't know why. You never let me turn it on!

I don't know! Boolie's being real pokey about it.

I don't know. He didn't say.

I don't know. Maybe it wouldn't happen.

I don't know. Maybe it wouldn't happen.

I don't like it! I don't like living with no privacy.

I don't make empty accusations. I have proof!

I don't need to stand and listen to excuses on Christmas.

I don't need you!

I don't think he can come to the phone.

I don't want money. I want my things!

I don't want to hear anymore about it!

I don't want you nosing through my things.

I don't want you! And don't say I'm rich!

I done it. Now what?

I eat too much, anyway.

I enjoy Christmas at their house.

I expect she was.

I figured your stove was out, so I stopped by the Krispy Kreme.

I give up! You want to drive again, arrange your own insurance.

I give up! You want to drive again, arrange your own insurance.

I got it right here.

I got the air conditioning checked.

I got to be excused.

I got to go make water.

I got to hang up now, Boolie.

I guess Hoke should drive us. There'll be a crowd.

I guess you know him, don't you?

I had never seen the ocean.

I had these made. Doesn't your baby look cute?

I had this friend named Porter.

I happened to run across it this morning.

I hate being discussed behind my back in my own house!

I hate doing things at the last minute.

I hate that in my house.

I have done without plenty of times.

I have to go to New York for a convention.

I haven't done anything.

I hear you.

I hope I don't spit up.

I hope she doesn't take it into her head to sing this year.

I just drove your mama to the store!

I just love a house with pictures, Miss Daisy.

I knew a Miss Idella once. Back down in Macon.

I knew there was something funny.

I know folks say they stingy and cheap.

I know where it is! Now take Highland Avenue.

I know you got to have coffee in the morning.

I know!

I know.

I know.

I know. Fiddle with the lever.

I learned how to drive on ice when I delivered milk for the dairy.

I leave him plenty of food every day.

I like to go under the speed limit.

I missed my breakfast and I'm late to a meeting...

I need you now. I have to be at the beauty shop in half an hour.

I need you now. I have to be at the beauty shop in half an hour.

I need you.

I never knew that.

I promised it for today. Call Bell again.

I read it in Life magazine.

I remember everything he said.

I remember one time back down there in Macon.

I said to wait for me in back.

I say, "That's all well and good, Tommie Lee...

I see. And did you?

I see. Werthan Bag will go out of business if you attend the King dinner.

I suppose you don't see her very much.

I sure appreciate this. Thank you.

I sure did. Already made the deal with Mr. Red Mitchell.

I sure do appreciate this!

I sure do thank you.

I taught Mayor Hartsfield out of the same book.

I taught some of the stupidest children God ever put on this earth.

I tell him exactly what it is.

I tell you, I threw up where I was standing.

I thank you.

I think he's wonderful.

I think it's fixing to clear up out there!

I think it's notepaper.

I think it's wonderful the way things are changing.

I think you're the best widow in the State of Georgia.

I thought you ought to know about it.

I told you a million times, Katie Bell, write it down!

I told you it's two rows over that way. It says "Bauer" on the headstone.

I try to dope out what's going on...

I used to drive for a dairy, sir.

I want to go! You know how I feel about him.

I want you to understand something.

I wanted you to be here when he comes.

I wanted you to hear it for yourself.

I was 12.

I was a little boy back on the farm above Macon where I come from.

I was born on Forsyth Street.

I was getting the lunch! Go on back. My God!

I was sure you did.

I was thinking about the first time I went to Mobile.

I will tell you that I wish my father and grandfather could see this.

I wondered how you'd have liked driving that around.

I worked for Judge Harold Stone, a ******* gentleman.

I wouldn't be in your shoes...

I wouldn't know. I was asleep.

I wrestled hogs to the ground during killing time.

I' m sure she appreciates it.

I'd be ashamed.

I'd never been in a wedding party.

I'll be damned!

I'll be goddamned.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right there.

I'll be right there.

I'll bet you'll miss the old one.

I'll cancel the appointment and fix my own hair.

I'll carry them for you.

I'll come after you for temple tomorrow.

I'll go to the library on the streetcar.

I'll help you.

I'll hold on no matter which way she run me.

I'll never have that! Boolie will have me in perpetual care before I'm cold.

I'll stop by tomorrow evening.

I'll tell you one thing; she knows how to throw a fit.

I'm afraid that my loss up here...

I'm doing the best I can.

I'm driving your next to last car now.

I'm fixing to go to the Piggly Wiggly on the trolley.

I'm gone to the market, Idella.

I'm gone to the market, Idella.

I'm gone, Miss Daisy.

I'm here.

I'm just going to take these things off.

I'm not crying.

I'm not dependent on you for company.

I'm not exactly sure. I know it's two rows over that way.

I'm putting up a jar for you to take home to William.

I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. I didn't do right.

I'm sorry, Miss Florine.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Those poor children.

I'm sure "My Fair Lady" is more important than your relatives.

I'm sure we can manage.

I'm talking about I can't read, ma'am.

I'm talking about this woman had some lungs!

I'm trying to drive you to the store!

I've never been prejudiced in my life and you know it.

Idella says we're running short on coffee...

Idella sure does stuff eggs good!

Idella was lucky.

Idella, I'm gone now.

Idella, want a pickle with lunch?

Idella's different! She's been coming to me for years.

If her grandfather, old man Frietag, could see this.

If I had a nose like Florine, I wouldn't say, "Merry Christmas" to anybody.

If I want a vegetable garden, I'll plant it myself.

If we do not use those seats? I'm not supposed to go, either?

If you don't want to go, why don't you just say so?

If you know letters, then you can read.

If you practice, you'll write nicely.

If you're going to stand in my pantry and lie like a rug, go somewhere else.

Is it good?

Is something wrong, Miss Daisy?

Is that door making contact?

Is that you, Slick? It's Boolie. How you doing?

Is this your car?

Isn't that a silly thing to remember?

Isn't that something!

It ain't even the 20th yet.

It ain't going nowhere. I done bought it.

It aint' more than 30 minutes since we turned.

It do make a home.

It doesn't make any difference.

It don't take more than 5 minutes to load this car.

It even sounds like Bauer, doesn't it?

It fiddled out. I done all I know how.

It gives me a shock every time I'm near it.

It hasn't moved an inch from when Mr. Werthan drove it here.

It is of German derivation.

It is three after seven.

It sure do, Miss Daisy! It sure do!

It sure does!

It sure feels good.

It sure is pretty. Is that Mr. Walter's present?

It sure is.

It sure is.

It takes an eye for detail.

It was right cold in the night.

It was the car's fault!

It was Walter's wedding: 1888.

It will all spoil, anyway.

It works for me.

It's 7:16!

It's a difficult situation.

It's a miracle you're not laying at Emory Hospital or the funeral parlor.

It's all my fault.

It's all right if you moved them. I won't be mad.

It's all ruined by now.

It's Boolie on the phone.

It's faded, but it works.

It's good to come in nice weather.

It's hard, not driving, Mr. Werthan.

It's just us!

It's me. You all right?

It's Mr. Sinclair Harris, sir.

It's my ageless appeal!

It's not a Christmas present.

It's not healthy to rush like this.

It's right to have member of the family looking after you.

It's running fine as wine, too.

It's so awful!

It's your chicken.

It's your mama.

**** have no business giving Christmas presents.

Judge Stone was my father's friend.

Jump up and snatch her baldheaded.

Just a little shopping.

Just as sure as you born, that doctor is going to have you out in that asylum.

Just come down and say hello.

Just leave me out of it!

Just when you call so early.

King? No, ma'am. I don't know him.

Later, Miss McClatchey.

Laughing and carrying on and talking about how me and Porter...

Leave Florine out of this. She ordered those tickets 8 months ago.

Leave me flower bed alone.

Leave them alone.

Leo Bauer. Is that Miss Rose Bauer's husband?

Let's get all this back in the car. I'm burning up.

Let's just leave it alone.

Like children. If they want something, they just take it!

Living.

Look at that.

Look it here.

Look out on the driveway!

Look up where the gate is supposed to close. See a do hickey?

Look who I brought!

Lord have mercy, look at that. Ain't she got a lot of hair?

Lord have mercy!

Lord have mercy! Look what Miss Florine done.

Lord have mercy.

Lord, I couldn't've been more than 10 or 11 years old, I reckon.

Lord, I don't know, Miss Daisy.

Lord, there he was. Hanging up yonder in the tree.

Mah jongg.

Mama, cars don't behave. They are behaved upon.

Mama, Florine said to wish you a happy Thanksgiving. She's in Washington.

Mama, I'll be right out...

Mama, it's not a snake!

Mama, we have to talk about this.

Mama, you there?

Maybe I wouldn't hear about meetings at the Club.

Maybe it's soap.

Maybe you read it wrong.

Me, too.

Merry Christmas, Mama. Hoke.

Merry Christmas, Mother Werthan.

Michelle is nigh on 37 years old now.

Mighty nice of you.

Mind your business.

Minnie always fixes crab. They go to so much trouble.

Miriam and Beulah, I could see what they were thinking when we came out.

Miss Daisy, if I was to ever get my hands on what you got...

Miss Daisy, it's a shame.

Miss Daisy, look. Yonder is the Piggly Wiggly. See?

Miss Daisy, now there ain't nothing wrong with you!

Miss Daisy, somebody done bombed that temple and you know it!

Miss Daisy, that's between him and me.

Miss Daisy, you ought to go on away from here!

Miss Daisy?

Miss McClatchey gave me your message.

More I cannot do!

Morning, Miss Daisy.

Morning, Miss Daisy.

Morning, Miss Daisy.

Morning, Miss McClatchey.

Mr. Sig's grave is mighty well tended.

Mr. Werthan?

Mrs. Stone asked me to move to Savannah with her.

My brother brought home a white cat once.

My cousin Sinclair?

My daughter...

My granddaughter drove me.

My husband taught me that!

My husband taught me to run a car.

My Lord, is she old enough to drive?

My mother is a little high strung.

My other opinion is that a fine rich, ******* lady like yourself...

My papers! I had them all corrected last night...

My sister saved up money...

My son thinks I'm losing my abilities...

Name your salary.

Never heard that one. What is it?

Never understand some white folks.

New Graham Greene? I been wanting to read that.

New York, Detroit, St. Lois.

Next time you want me to go somewhere ask me regular.

Nine bam!

Nine dot.

No sillier than most of what folks remember.

No wonder. You're the only Christian in the place.

No, I didn't.

No, I don't always think something's wrong when you call.

No, I most certainly did not know you had to call a minimum of 2 hours ahead.

No, ma'am, you ain't going to get to the temple this morning, Miss Daisy.

No, ma'am.

No, Miss Daisy.

No, right! Turn right!

No, she's all there!

No, sir, I don't expect I'll miss it that much.

No, sir, I don't.

No, sir. It's not the same.

No, sir. This here Hoke.

No, sir. Your mama is in my business enough as it is.

No, thank you.

No!

No!

No! It's all a mess now, and I can't do anything about it.

No.

No.

Nobody can say I put on airs.

Nobody knows that better than you.

Nobody will issue you a policy now.

Not a good question to ask somebody nearly 90!

Not exactly. But a lot of men I do business with would not like it!

Not me.

Nothing wrong. Nothing the matter at all.

Nothing, Miss Daisy. We just carrying on.

Now I know you said to eat the leftover pork chops.

Now I'm going to get out of this car...

Now is that the way you want it to be?

Now just the day before, we'd all been pitching horseshoes.

Now listen, there ain't nothing wrong with you!

Now look at you. You rich, you well for your time.

Now set down in here. You're going to fall and hurt yourself.

Now that's between him and me.

Now what you think I am, Miss Daisy?

Now you enjoy it.

Now, how you know how I can see 'less'n you can look out my eyes.

Now, if did be you wanted me to go with you...

Now, Miss Daisy... you needs a chauffeur...

Now, you say...

Of course I am.

Of course I told you!

Of course I told you!

Of course, but Florine...

Of course, my wife was dead by then.

Of course.

Of course.

Oh, I just love the smell of a new car.

Oh, I was so excited.

Oh, Lord, she just looked out the window and seen me.

Oh, Miss Daisy, Lord knows you ain't no fool!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God. Was anybody there? Were people hurt?

Okay. Yes, I am! I am making it all up.

Old Jack Raphael at Ideal Mills, he's a New York Jew instead of a Georgia Jew.

On Forsyth Street we made many meals of grits and gravy.

On the trolley! Why don't you let me carry you?

One day there his daddy was hanging from a tree.

One dot.

Operate the lever.

Oscar and Junior been doing cleaning here for 15 years. Never carried on before!

Oscar and Junior been doing cleaning here for 15 years. Never carried on before!

Oscar said you needed somebody to drive for your family.

Oscar?

Other folks are banging into each other like they're in the funny papers.

Papa said it was the Gulf of Mexico, not the ocean, but it was all the same to me.

Pepsodent's new improved formula cleans teeth whiter than ever.

Piggly Wiggly ain't on Highland.

Piggly Wiggly.

Pull in here.

Put that azalea on Leo Bauer's grave.

Put that ladder away before somebody trips.

Put your coat on. We're late.

R at the end.

R!

R!

Reach up and mash it up until it catches.

Ridiculous! The temple has nothing to do with it!

Right here!

Said, "Name your own salary."

Same time it took the Lord to make the world.

See it a few times, you get in it.

Seems mighty funny to sell the house while Mama's still alive.

Seven years. I'd still be there if he didn't up and die.

She asked me to bring it out here.

She can say anything she likes...

She certainly has. She goes to jewelry making...

She done gone around the bend a little.

She fought me on this one.

She is always on the go.

She is mine the regular way.

She makes all kinds of things. Pins, bracelets...

She said, "Well, you looking for a change, you know who to call."

She sang!

She wants you all to herself.

She wants you all to herself.

She was as big as that stove!

She won't touch it.

She'd be a whole church choir by herself!

She'd die before she'd fix a glass of iced tea for the Temple Sisterhood.

She'll probably throw a fit right there at the check out counter.

She's a regular Tiffany's.

She's a Republican National Committeewoman now.

She's from Canton, Ohio.

She's just worked up.

She's taking on something awful.

She's teaching biology at yonder Spelman College.

She's trying to hire me.

Sit.

Slow down!

So don't think even for a second you...

So here it is.

So I gather.

So I said, "Fine, Mrs. Harris, just fine, thank you."

So why don't we just leave it at that?

So, I stopped by the Piggly Wiggly and got you another can.

Socializing with Episcopalians.

Some days she's better than others.

Some might throw their business to Jack instead of old Martin Luther Werthan.

Somebody has bombed the temple.

Something I done?

Sometimes I think you ain't got the sense God gave a lemon.

Sorry, but it's due back at the library tomorrow.

Sounds pretty good, sir.

Stay home, Boolie. Hoke is here with me.

Stay right here by the car.

Stop saying that! You're making me mad!

Such a nice man. And such a good, short sermon, wasn't it?

Take the trolley.

Talk about things changing. They ain't changed all that much.

Thank you all for coming here again. I am a real pariah without my car.

Thank you all.

Thank you, Boolie. Thank you. Aunt Daisy!

Thank you, Hoke, I can help myself.

Thank you, Hoke.

Thank you, ma'am.

Thank you, Wellborn.

Thank you.

Thank you. I won't.

Thanks for your permission.

That I was pretending to be rich!

That insurance company gave you a brand new car for nothing.

That is for him and me to know.

That mess back there put me in mind of it.

That thing been in the junkyard now... more than 15 years.

That will happen as they get on.

That won't be necessary.

That's all right!

That's exactly what she said.

That's good!

That's his problem.

That's how come we stuck here so long.

That's it.

That's mighty nice of you.

That's still the best way.

That's sweet of you, honey.

That's the silliest thing I ever saw.

That's vulgar! Don't talk to me!

That's vulgar! Don't talk to me!

That's what the policeman just said.

That's why they like me.

That's your opinion.

The air conditioning...

The Ansleys' dinner party.

The children will be disappointed if I don't give them their homework.

The convention starts Monday.

The fact is, you would be working for me.

The first time.

The Hudson's a good car.

The invitation to this dinner...

The Millers are giving a hay ride.

The name is "Bauer."

The sign says Phenix City 30 miles.

The silverware first.

The slower you go the more gas you save.

The truth is you just cost the insurance company $2,700.

Their elevator was worse than this one.

Then ask Hoke to go with you.

Then home. Nowhere else.

Then I'll see if I can make us a fire.

Then the linen napkins. And then I went into the pantry.

There ain't nobody waiting on you. You ain't a teacher.

There ain't nothing wrong with the car.

There are only 8 cans of salmon. I had 9!

There were two chauffeurs right behind me.

There's no bus that goes out yonder.

There's no time to stop. We'll be in Mobile soon. You can wait.

These millions are called upon...

They all take things, you know. So I counted.

They fixed crab for me.

They got that new cook.

They managed to grow with Atlanta.

They might...

Think what you want. I know the truth.

This Hoke here.

This is her idea of heaven on earth.

This is my car, officer.

This is one of her good days.

This is one of her good days.

This isn't a Christmas present.

This will be enough for you to find it.

This! I found it hidden in the garbage under some coffee grounds.

Those Christians will be impressed.

To the store, like you said.

Too much running around. The Garden Club this...

Too much there is the problem!

Turn left.

Two dot.

Two dots. I want that!

Two dots. I want that!

Uncle Walter appreciates your call.

Unless they rewrote the Constitution and didn't tell me, I still have rights!

Up yonder.

Very clever, Mama.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Wait.

Wait. You're speeding.

Washes it in mayonnaise.

Waving money at me like that!

We ain't had any good coffee around here since Idella passed.

We are out of coconut.

We been out to this cemetery 3 times this month already.

We both can make her fried chicken.

We can't stay.

We couldn't keep it because we couldn't afford to feed it!

We do what we can.

We don't know. Maybe that policeman wasn't telling the truth.

We going to have to pull over.

We have to have a little talk, Hoke.

We only going 19 miles an hour.

We stay out of each other's way.

We went on the train.

We're low on silver polish, too.

We're not supposed to go to Phenix City! Oh, my God!

Well, don't you do it!

Well, go on, open it.

Well, good morning to you.

Well, Hoke, good to see you!

Well, how does $65 a week sound?

Well, I got to get dressed now.

Well, it's not exactly the word I'd pick.

Well, sir, there ain't a hog got away from me yet!

Well, sir, you might say that.

Well, that's about all there is to it then.

Well, that's just it. I just be looking!

Well, they were kind of stiff.

Well, this is not my day for mah jongg.

Well, you look fine.

Well?

Werthan.

What a thing to say! I'm not prejudiced!

What are you doing with this car?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?!

What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

What business you got dragging this mess out of the house by yourself?

What can I do for you?

What did he say?

What did you do with them?

What do you mean?

What do you mean? How should he be?

What do you think I am, a mess?

What happened? She up to something, ain't she?

What I do not want, and absolutely will not have, is...

What in the world...?

What is going on?

What is it you say?

What is it? What took you so long?

What letter sounds like "er"?

What that look like?

What was that?! I heard that!

What was your last job?

What you talking about? Been ready to go for a week and a half.

What?

What? All I said was Boolie said you wanted to go.

What? Bombed the temple?

What?!

What?!

What'll I do?

What's he doing here this time of morning?

What's so funny?

What's that?

What's the matter? I might as well not go to temple at all!

What's this name? Wertheran?

What's wrong with the car?

What's wrong?

When did you get so fired up about Martin Luther King?

When do you get the new one?

When doesn't it? Give Mother Werthan my love.

When was that?

When we couldn't afford them, we did for ourselves.

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Where are you off to this morning, Miss Werthan?

Where is his grave at, Miss Daisy?

Which nobody can deny!

Who cares if lamp bulbs are dusty?

Who is it?

Who was here to help me?

Who will take care of my class? They'll be all alone. Oh, God!

Who would do such a thing?

Why aren't you helping me?

Why call yourself a taxicab company if you can't provide taxicabs?

Why did you tell me that story?

Why didn't you buy it from Mama? Would have saved money.

Why didn't you call?

Why didn't you turn on Highland?

Why don't you call your son? He'd send someone to carry you.

Why not? What's the matter with you?

Why would he go and lie about a thing like that?

Why, Boolie, the idea!

Why, Boolie!

Why, Boolie!

Why's today different from any other day?

Will I be taking your children to school...

Won't you be a little sorry to see it go?

Wrapped and ready to go!

Y'all people's *******, ain't you?

Yeah, I'll tell him.

Yeah, we are. Why?

Yes, I see her.

Yes, Ma'am, but I was just trying to...

Yes, ma'am, if you say so.

Yes, Ma'am, same way you have. On the TV.

Yes, ma'am.

Yes, ma'am. I know my ABC's. I just can't read.

Yes, Ma'am. You said we were leaving at fifteen to eight.

Yes, ma'am. You sure right about that. Sure is.

Yes, sir, I imagine it do.

Yes, sir, I sure do.

Yes, sir, it's me! Guess where I'm at.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. All right. 'Bye.

Yes, sir. You are right about that. It only took me 6 days.

Yes, thank you, Hoke.

Yes.

Yes. It's fragile. I'll put it on the seat.

Yes. Well, if you don't mind my asking, sir...

Yesterday, while you were out, I ate a can of your salmon.

Yet in spite of these assets...

Yet there are in the white South millions of people of good will...

You all must have plans tonight.

You all right, Miss Daisy?

You are a doodle, Mama!

You are a doodle, Mama.

You are a terrible risk.

You are at the end of your rope.

You are the luckiest thing, Beulah!

You are.

You are.

You backed the car into the Pollack's yard.

You been keeping yourself busy?

You can bring the cake now, Hoke.

You can do whatever you want.

You demolished that Chrysler by yourself.

You didn't eat your Thanksgiving pie.

You didn't even break your glasses.

You don't have to carry on so much.

You don't have to go yapping about this to Boolie or Florine.

You don't have to holler, Mr. Werthan.

You don't know.

You don't say?

You don't say?

You ever have folks fighting over you?

You figure out how to serve ambrosia to 50 people without coconut. I give up!

You go on and cry.

You got a nice piece of ground behind the garage that ain't doing nothing.

You got folks who care what happens to you.

You got the chicken too close together and the fire is too high.

You have a minute to make up your mind.

You have Idella.

You have this fine Hudson automobile out there in the garage.

You just don't know you can read.

You keep this up and Mr. Werthan's going to call that doctor on you.

You know colored can't use the toilet at any service station, Miss Daisy.

You know good as me, Miss Daisy. It always be the same ones.

You know how she sound, like her nose stuffed up.

You know I don't give Christmas presents.

You know your letters?

You know, Miss Daisy, I was just thinking.

You know, she flapped around some, but she's all right. She's in the store.

You leave my things alone!

You listen here.

You look at the paper all the time.

You made me look like a fool. A g.d. fool!

You might as well make the best of it.

You murdered Carlson. You have to pay!

You nearly missed us.

You never get things right!

You ought not to be driving anything the way you see.

You parked the car right in front of the temple, like I was the Queen of Romania.

You should have a job on the radio announcing the time.

You should have let me keep my Lasalle. It wouldn't have behaved this way.

You should have thought of that at the service station.

You stuff yourself good.

You sure are right about that!

You talking about from when I first come here?

You talking out your head.

You think Idella has a vendetta against your wedding china?

You took it with me, Miss Daisy. And you got the map.

You two get back to work.

You want 33c? Here's $1!

You want something to cry about, I'll run you to the state home...

You were leaving at quarter of.

You worked for Judge Stone?

You'll see the headstone, "Bauer."

You'll snap back if you let yourself.

You're a lucky old woman.

You're fixing to break your arms and your legs before we even leave the manor.

You're just saying that to be hateful.

You're my best friend.

You're still a young man. Don't worry too much.

Your mind done took a turn this morning.

3 for $1 on sale.

1888! You were nothing but a little bitty thing.

1965 Cadillac.

Are you all right? No, sir, I'm stuck.

B? Of course!

Give me that package. No, don't touch that.

Go on away from here, Idella! Yes, she did.

Go on now, Miss Daisy. No, really.

Have you got a map? She's got it in the back seat.

He stole a can of salmon? Here it is!

How will you stand her all day? They'll fix crab. All that trouble.

I can't turn now. I've been driving to Piggly Wiggly...

I saw an Avondale milk truck. Is that right?

I told her. You didn't write it down!

I told you to wait! I heard what you said.

I want to miss rush hour. You will.

I won't say it no more. Is that what you and Idella talk about?

I'm going too, Miss Daisy. Good.

Mama! No!

Name your own salary? Go away. What you think I am?

No. All right, then!

One can of salmon? Well, it was mine!

She's taking on. Be still!

So the first letter is... B!

That it? That's it.

That's 3 blocks out of the way. Go back this minute!

Want me to return it for you? No, thank you.

We're expected in Mobile for supper. You'll be there.

What about the middle? Not right now.

What you getting at? It's so silly.

What?! Yes, sir. She said:

Where are you? Up here!

Where's the new vacuum cleaner? In the closet.

You fixing to ruin it. What are you talking about?

You had the car in the wrong gear. I did not!

You is rich. No, I'm not!

You the boss. Don't talk to me!

...Alabama is not looking like much so far!

...and Dutch cleanser.

...and go over there and do what I got to do.

...and I put them where I wouldn't forget them on my way to school.

...with I believe 25 looms in operation.

'Bye.

"Bauer!" What does that "buh" letter sound like?

"Er." That is the last part. "Bauer!"

"How they treating you down there, Hoke?"

"No," he'll say, "I don't know nothing about that!"

"Perpetual care," they call it.

"Them?" "Afford them?" You sound like Governor Talmadge.

"Zaner Method Writing."
