00:00:42 I'm gone to the market, Idella.
00:00:48 Pepsodent's new improved formula
00:02:01 Are you all right, Miss Daisy?
00:02:24 That's good!
00:02:52 You two get back to work.
00:03:34 - Mama!
00:03:37 It's a miracle you're not laying at
00:03:43 Cucumbers are pretty this summer.
00:03:46 You didn't even break your glasses.
00:03:48 It was the car's fault!
00:03:50 - You had the car in the wrong gear.
00:03:54 Idella, want a pickle with lunch?
00:03:56 Not me.
00:03:58 I'm putting up a jar for
00:04:02 You backed the car into
00:04:05 You should have let me keep my Lasalle.
00:04:10 Mama, cars don't behave.
00:04:13 You demolished that
00:04:16 Think what you want.
00:04:18 The truth is you just cost
00:04:22 You are a terrible risk.
00:04:24 Nobody will issue you a policy now.
00:04:26 You're just saying that to be hateful.
00:04:29 Okay. Yes, I am!
00:04:33 Look out on the driveway!
00:04:35 Every insurance company in
00:04:38 ...waving their pens
00:04:41 If you're going to stand in my pantry
00:04:49 I better get back to the office.
00:04:51 Florine will have a fit if I don't
00:04:55 You all must have plans tonight.
00:04:57 The Ansleys' dinner party.
00:04:59 This is her idea of heaven on earth.
00:05:02 What?
00:05:03 Socializing with Episcopalians.
00:05:10 You are a doodle, Mama!
00:05:12 I'll stop by tomorrow evening.
00:05:14 How do you know I'll be here?
00:05:17 I'm not dependent on you for company.
00:05:19 Fine, I'll call first.
00:05:21 But you know, we have got some
00:05:25 No!
00:06:04 I need you now. I have to be at
00:06:10 No, I most certainly did not know you
00:06:15 Why call yourself a taxicab company
00:06:20 Why don't you call your son?
00:06:24 That won't be necessary.
00:06:26 I'll cancel the appointment
00:06:29 Sometimes I think you ain't
00:06:36 Two dots. I want that!
00:06:40 And a five bamboo.
00:06:42 Well, this is not my day for mah-jongg.
00:06:45 Nine bam!
00:06:46 Thank you all for coming here again.
00:06:51 Oh, nonsense!
00:06:53 When do you get the new one?
00:06:55 I don't know! Boolie's
00:06:58 I'll come after you for temple tomorrow.
00:07:01 That's sweet of you, honey.
00:07:07 Mama, you there?
00:07:09 It's just us!
00:07:10 Why didn't you call?
00:07:12 We can't stay.
00:07:14 So I gather.
00:07:15 The Millers are giving a hay ride.
00:07:17 I had these made.
00:07:21 Well, it's not exactly
00:07:25 New Graham Greene?
00:07:28 Sorry, but it's due back
00:07:32 - Want me to return it for you?
00:07:34 I'll go to the library on the streetcar.
00:07:38 Damn it, Mama! Quit being so stubborn.
00:07:42 Go on! Don't keep the horses waiting.
00:07:46 Bye!
00:08:01 Is that door making contact?
00:08:09 Oscar?
00:08:10 I'm here.
00:08:11 - Are you all right?
00:08:14 I know. Fiddle with the lever.
00:08:17 It fiddled out. I done all I know how.
00:08:21 Call Bell Elevator.
00:08:23 I already did. They're
00:08:27 Did you tell them it's an emergency!
00:08:29 You don't have to holler, Mr. Werthan.
00:08:31 I did not break the elevator.
00:08:34 Got that stuff for Davis & Paxon?
00:08:37 Wrapped and ready to go!
00:08:38 I promised it for today.
00:08:47 I hear you.
00:08:50 Look up where the gate is supposed
00:08:54 Wait a minute.
00:08:57 Right here!
00:08:58 Reach up and mash it
00:09:03 I done it. Now what?
00:09:06 Operate the lever.
00:09:20 Do you work here?
00:09:21 No, sir. This here Hoke.
00:09:23 Hoke Colburn, sir.
00:09:25 How'd you know about the elevator?
00:09:26 I used to drive for a dairy, sir.
00:09:29 Their elevator was
00:09:32 Hoke the one I told you about.
00:09:34 Of course.
00:09:47 Excuse me, sir.
00:09:49 Y'all people's Jewish, ain't you?
00:09:51 Yeah, we are. Why?
00:09:53 I'd rather work for Jews.
00:09:55 I know folks say they stingy and cheap.
00:09:58 But don't say none of that around me!
00:10:01 Good to know you feel that way.
00:10:25 What was your last job?
00:10:26 I worked for Judge Harold
00:10:31 You worked for Judge Stone?
00:10:33 Seven years. I'd still be
00:10:37 Mrs. Stone asked me to move
00:10:40 Of course, my wife was dead by then.
00:10:43 But I said, "No, thank you, ma'am."
00:10:45 I didn't want to be too
00:10:48 Judge Stone was my father's friend.
00:10:50 You don't say?
00:10:52 Sit.
00:10:53 Later, Miss McClatchey.
00:10:58 Oscar said you needed somebody
00:11:02 Will I be taking your
00:11:05 ...and your wife to the beauty parlor?
00:11:07 I don't have any children.
00:11:10 You're still a young man.
00:11:14 Thank you. I won't.
00:11:16 Hoke, I need somebody
00:11:21 Yes. Well, if you don't
00:11:25 ...why ain't she hiring for herself?
00:11:30 It's a difficult situation.
00:11:33 She done gone around the bend a little.
00:11:35 That will happen as they get on.
00:11:38 No, she's all there!
00:11:40 Too much there is the problem!
00:11:45 I want you to understand something.
00:11:47 My mother is a little high strung.
00:11:52 The fact is, you would
00:11:55 She can say anything she likes...
00:11:58 ...but she can't fire you. Understand?
00:12:02 Yes, sir.
00:12:05 Yes, sir, I sure do.
00:12:07 Don't worry, Mr. Werthan.
00:12:09 I'll hold on no matter
00:12:12 I was a little boy back on the farm
00:12:16 I wrestled hogs to the
00:12:19 Well, sir, there ain't a
00:13:11 How are you, Idella?
00:13:13 Living.
00:13:14 - Where's the new vacuum cleaner?
00:13:18 She won't touch it.
00:13:19 It gives me a shock
00:13:22 It works for me.
00:13:24 Good! Then you clean and I'll
00:13:28 Where's Mama?
00:13:30 Up yonder.
00:13:32 I guess you know who this is.
00:13:36 I'll be right back.
00:13:42 I wouldn't be in your shoes...
00:13:44 ...if the sweet Lord Jesus came
00:13:57 Good morning, Mama.
00:14:09 Just come down and say hello.
00:14:11 You listen here.
00:14:13 Unless they rewrote the Constitution
00:14:17 Of course.
00:14:18 What I do not want, and absolutely
00:14:23 ...some chauffeur sitting in my kitchen,
00:14:28 I hate that in my house.
00:14:30 You have Idella.
00:14:31 Idella's different!
00:14:34 We stay out of each other's way.
00:14:37 Even so, there are chips
00:14:40 You think Idella has a vendetta
00:14:44 Don't be sassy.
00:14:46 When we couldn't afford them,
00:14:49 That's still the best way.
00:14:51 "Them?" "Afford them?"
00:14:55 What a thing to say!
00:14:59 Aren't you ashamed?!
00:15:01 You might as well make the best of it.
00:16:05 I knew a Miss Idella once.
00:16:09 You don't say?
00:16:11 She sang!
00:16:13 What are you talking about?
00:16:15 I'm talking about this
00:16:18 She'd be a whole church
00:16:21 I declare!
00:16:22 Fat, too!
00:16:24 She was as big as that stove!
00:16:29 Don't talk to Idella!
00:16:45 What are you doing?
00:16:47 Dusting the bulbs, Miss Daisy.
00:16:49 That's the silliest thing I ever saw.
00:16:52 Who cares if lamp bulbs are dusty?
00:16:54 Get down from there!
00:16:57 Put that ladder away
00:17:04 I'm gone, Miss Daisy.
00:17:06 All right, Idella. See you tomorrow.
00:17:09 - I'm going too, Miss Daisy.
00:17:29 Good morning, Miss Daisy.
00:17:33 Leave me flower bed alone.
00:17:36 You got a nice piece of ground behind
00:17:41 I could put in tomatoes...
00:17:44 If I want a vegetable garden,
00:18:21 What are you doing?
00:18:24 I just love a house with
00:18:28 It do make a home.
00:18:29 I don't want you nosing
00:18:44 Good morning, Miss Daisy.
00:18:47 It was right cold in the night.
00:18:50 I wouldn't know. I was asleep.
00:18:56 Idella says we're
00:18:59 ...and Dutch cleanser.
00:19:01 We are?
00:19:02 Yes, ma'am.
00:19:03 We're low on silver polish, too.
00:19:07 I know.
00:19:10 I'm fixing to go to the
00:19:13 On the trolley!
00:19:17 No, thank you.
00:19:18 Ain't that why Mr. Werthan hired me?
00:19:20 That's his problem.
00:19:23 All right. But I'm going to
00:19:27 You leave my things alone!
00:19:30 I'm gone to the market, Idella.
00:19:34 Miss Daisy, it's a shame.
00:19:36 You have this fine Hudson
00:19:40 It hasn't moved an inch from
00:19:44 That insurance company gave you
00:19:48 That's your opinion.
00:19:51 My other opinion is that a fine rich,
00:19:55 ...has no business dragging herself
00:20:01 I'll carry them for you.
00:20:02 I don't need you!
00:20:04 I don't want you!
00:20:07 - I won't say it no more.
00:20:11 I hate being discussed behind
00:20:16 I was born on Forsyth Street.
00:20:18 Believe me. I know
00:20:21 My brother brought
00:20:23 We couldn't keep it because
00:20:27 My sister saved up money...
00:20:29 ...so I could become a teacher!
00:20:33 But you're doing all right now!
00:20:59 What are you doing?!
00:21:00 I'm trying to drive you to the store!
00:21:09 Where are you off to this
00:21:13 Just a little shopping.
00:21:15 Go away! I've ridden the trolley
00:21:19 But I can't keep taking
00:21:24 How much he pay you?
00:21:26 Miss Daisy, that's between him and me.
00:21:29 Anything over $7 a week
00:21:34 You sure are right about that!
00:21:36 Especially since I don't do nothing...
00:21:38 ...but sit on a stool all day.
00:21:42 All right!
00:21:45 Piggly Wiggly.
00:21:47 Then home. Nowhere else.
00:22:05 Oh, I just love the smell of a new car.
00:22:08 Don't you, Miss Daisy?
00:22:14 I am nobody's fool, Hoke.
00:22:16 I know!
00:22:17 My husband taught me to run a car.
00:22:21 I remember everything he said.
00:22:23 So don't think even for a second you...
00:22:26 Wait. You're speeding.
00:22:28 I can see it!
00:22:30 We only going 19 miles an hour.
00:22:33 I like to go under the speed limit.
00:22:36 But the speed limit is 35 here.
00:22:38 The slower you go the more gas you save.
00:22:41 My husband taught me that!
00:22:45 Ain't hardly moving.
00:22:48 ...to Piggly Wiggly.
00:22:50 Is this your car?
00:22:54 No.
00:22:55 Do you pay for the gas?
00:22:58 - No.
00:23:00 My son thinks I'm losing my abilities...
00:23:03 ...but I am still in control
00:23:10 Where are you going?
00:23:13 To the store, like you said.
00:23:15 Why didn't you turn on Highland?
00:23:17 Piggly Wiggly ain't on Highland.
00:23:19 I know where it is!
00:23:23 - That's 3 blocks out of the way.
00:23:26 - I can't turn now.
00:23:29 ...since it opened for business.
00:23:33 Go back this minute!
00:23:35 Miss Daisy, look. Yonder
00:23:41 Get ready to turn.
00:23:50 Careful. There's a little girl.
00:23:52 Yes, I see her.
00:23:54 Pull in here.
00:24:04 Wait.
00:24:06 Give me the keys.
00:24:13 Stay right here by the car.
00:24:16 And don't tell everyone my business.
00:24:43 Mr. Werthan?
00:24:46 Yes, sir, it's me! Guess where I'm at.
00:24:50 I just drove your mama to the store!
00:24:54 You know, she flapped around some,
00:25:00 Oh, Lord, she just looked
00:25:04 She'll probably throw a fit right
00:25:09 Yes, sir. You are right about that.
00:25:13 Same time it took the
00:25:17 Yes, sir. All right. 'Bye.
00:25:30 Hey Oscar, Junior. How you
00:25:34 How the lady been treating you?
00:25:36 I'll tell you one thing;
00:25:41 What's so funny?
00:25:44 Nothing, Miss Daisy.
00:25:48 Oscar and Junior been doing cleaning
00:25:53 Leave them alone.
00:25:55 Put your coat on.
00:25:58 Idella, I'm gone now.
00:26:02 I'm right behind her.
00:26:11 Hear, oh Israel, the Lord
00:27:01 Such a nice man. And such a good,
00:27:13 I can get it myself!
00:27:15 Hurry out of here!
00:27:34 Is something wrong, Miss Daisy?
00:27:37 Something I done?
00:27:42 Yes.
00:27:44 I haven't done anything.
00:27:46 You parked the car right in front of the
00:27:51 Everybody saw you!
00:27:53 I said to wait for me in back.
00:27:55 Yes, Ma'am, but I was just trying to...
00:27:58 There were two chauffeurs
00:28:01 You made me look like a fool.
00:28:04 Oh, Miss Daisy, Lord
00:28:09 Slow down!
00:28:12 Miriam and Beulah, I could see what
00:28:17 What's that?
00:28:19 That I was pretending to be rich!
00:28:21 - You is rich.
00:28:24 Nobody can say I put on airs.
00:28:26 On Forsyth Street we made many
00:28:30 I have done without plenty of times.
00:28:33 Miss Daisy, if I was to ever
00:28:37 ...shoot, I'd shake it around
00:28:41 That's vulgar! Don't talk to me!
00:28:46 Never understand some white folks.
00:28:49 What was that?! I heard that!
00:28:51 Now, Miss Daisy...
00:28:56 ...and Lord knows I need a job.
00:28:58 So why don't we just leave it at that?
00:29:56 Good morning, Mama.
00:30:01 No, I don't always think
00:30:04 Just when you call so early.
00:30:08 What?!
00:30:11 All right. I'll be there
00:30:19 I better get on over there.
00:30:22 'Bye.
00:30:24 Come on.
00:30:25 It's not healthy to rush like this.
00:30:28 I eat too much, anyway.
00:30:31 Besides, it sounds like she needs me.
00:30:34 When doesn't it?
00:30:44 Coffee, Katie Bell!
00:30:57 I didn't expect to
00:31:00 I wanted you to be here
00:31:03 I wanted you to hear it
00:31:04 What is going on?
00:31:06 He's stealing from me.
00:31:09 Hoke? Are you sure?
00:31:11 I don't make empty accusations.
00:31:15 This! I found it hidden in the
00:31:20 - He stole a can of salmon?
00:31:24 I knew there was something funny.
00:31:27 They all take things, you know.
00:31:31 The silverware first.
00:31:33 Then the linen napkins.
00:31:38 And the first thing that
00:31:42 ...behind the lima beans.
00:31:44 And I knew right away.
00:31:48 There are only 8 cans of salmon.
00:31:51 3 for $1 on sale.
00:31:53 Very clever, Mama.
00:31:55 I missed my breakfast and
00:31:58 ...for a 33c can of salmon?
00:32:00 You want 33c? Here's $1!
00:32:03 Here's $10! Buy yourself
00:32:06 Why, Boolie, the idea!
00:32:08 Waving money at me like that!
00:32:10 I don't want money.
00:32:13 - One can of salmon?
00:32:17 I leave him plenty of food every day.
00:32:20 I tell him exactly what it is.
00:32:23 Like children. If they want
00:32:27 He'll never admit this.
00:32:28 "No," he'll say, "I don't
00:32:32 I don't like it! I don't
00:32:38 Go ahead, defend him.
00:32:42 I give up! You want to drive again,
00:32:46 Take the trolley.
00:32:48 Buy yourself a taxicab!
00:32:51 Just leave me out of it!
00:32:53 Why, Boolie!
00:33:00 What's he doing here
00:33:04 Can't be good, I promise you that!
00:33:20 I think it's fixing to
00:33:24 Excuse me, Mr. Werthan.
00:33:27 We have to have a little talk, Hoke.
00:33:32 All right, just let me
00:33:43 Yesterday, while you were out,
00:33:47 Now I know you said to eat
00:33:52 Well, they were kind of stiff.
00:33:54 So, I stopped by the Piggly
00:33:58 Do you want me to put it on the shelf?
00:34:02 Yes, thank you, Hoke.
00:34:04 Be right with you, Mr. Werthan.
00:34:09 Well, I got to get dressed now.
00:34:13 Good-bye, son.
00:35:54 You know, Miss Daisy,
00:35:59 We been out to this cemetery
00:36:02 It ain't even the 20th yet.
00:36:04 It's good to come in nice weather.
00:36:06 Yes, ma'am. You sure
00:36:12 Mr. Sig's grave is mighty well tended.
00:36:15 I think you're the best widow
00:36:19 Boolie's always pestering me to have
00:36:24 "Perpetual care," they call it.
00:36:26 Well, don't you do it!
00:36:29 It's right to have member of
00:36:33 I'll never have that! Boolie will have
00:36:39 Miss Daisy, you ought to
00:36:45 Put that azalea on Leo Bauer's grave.
00:36:48 Leo Bauer. Is that Miss
00:36:53 She asked me to bring it out here.
00:36:57 Where is his grave at, Miss Daisy?
00:37:00 I'm not exactly sure. I know
00:37:06 You'll see the headstone, "Bauer."
00:37:12 What's wrong?
00:37:13 Nothing wrong.
00:37:24 Now, you say...
00:37:25 I told you it's two rows over that way.
00:37:32 What that look like?
00:37:34 What are you talking about?
00:37:37 I'm talking about I can't read, ma'am.
00:37:41 What?!
00:37:42 I can't read, Miss Daisy.
00:37:44 You look at the paper all the time.
00:37:47 Well, that's just it. I just be looking!
00:37:51 I try to dope out what's going on...
00:37:53 ...from the pictures.
00:37:55 You know your letters?
00:37:57 Yes, ma'am. I know my ABC's.
00:38:01 Stop saying that!
00:38:04 If you know letters, then you can read.
00:38:07 You just don't know you can read.
00:38:10 I taught some of the stupidest
00:38:13 And they all could read enough
00:38:17 The name is "Bauer."
00:38:24 "Bauer!" What does that "buh"
00:38:29 - B?
00:38:34 "Er." That is the last part. "Bauer!"
00:38:37 What letter sounds like "er"?
00:38:41 R!
00:38:42 - So the first letter is...
00:38:45 And the last letter?
00:38:46 R!
00:38:48 B-R. Brr.
00:38:50 It even sounds like Bauer, doesn't it?
00:38:53 It sure do, Miss Daisy! It sure do!
00:39:01 - That it?
00:39:04 - What about the middle?
00:39:08 This will be enough for you to find it.
00:39:34 B at the beginning.
00:39:37 R at the end.
00:39:46 B... R.
00:39:49 That's it.
00:39:51 That's all right!
00:40:10 I sure do appreciate this!
00:40:12 Don't be ridiculous!
00:40:15 Let's get all this back in the car.
00:40:44 Of course I told you!
00:40:46 Of course I told you!
00:40:49 How can I be expected to buy it
00:40:53 I'm sorry, Miss Florine.
00:41:01 I need you.
00:41:03 I'll be right there.
00:41:05 Do you have any idea what it takes
00:41:09 It takes an eye for detail.
00:41:12 I told you a million times,
00:41:16 More I cannot do!
00:41:18 We are out of coconut.
00:41:20 I'm sure we can manage.
00:41:22 - I told her.
00:41:26 I don't need to stand and
00:41:30 You figure out how to serve ambrosia to
00:41:40 Don't worry, Katie Bell.
00:41:55 Everybody's giving the Georgia
00:42:00 Bet Miss Florine beat them all,
00:42:04 Absurd!
00:42:05 If I had a nose like Florine, I wouldn't
00:42:14 I enjoy Christmas at their house.
00:42:19 No wonder. You're the
00:42:21 They got that new cook.
00:42:24 Florine never could keep help.
00:42:29 Too much running around.
00:42:33 ...the Junior League that.
00:42:36 She'd die before she'd fix a glass of
00:42:43 I hope she doesn't take it into
00:42:52 Lord have mercy!
00:42:55 If her grandfather, old man
00:42:59 What is it you say?
00:43:01 I bet he'd jump out of his
00:00:12 Oh, Miss Daisy, you
00:00:24 Wait a minute.
00:00:26 This isn't a Christmas present.
00:00:29 You know I don't give
00:00:33 I happened to run
00:00:36 Well, go on, open it.
00:00:45 Look at that.
00:00:47 Ain't nobody never gave
00:00:52 "Zaner Method Writing."
00:00:55 I always taught out of these.
00:00:59 It's faded, but it works.
00:01:02 If you practice, you'll write nicely.
00:01:04 But you have to practice.
00:01:07 I taught Mayor Hartsfield
00:01:11 I sure do thank you.
00:01:13 It's not a Christmas present.
00:01:15 Jews have no business
00:01:18 You don't have to go yapping
00:01:22 This is between you and me.
00:01:25 Merry Christmas, Mother Werthan.
00:01:27 I hope I don't spit up.
00:01:30 Merry Christmas, Mama. Hoke.
00:02:16 She fought me on this one.
00:02:19 But it is time for a trade.
00:02:22 I'll bet you'll miss the old one.
00:02:25 No, sir, I don't expect
00:02:28 Come on, you're the only one
00:02:33 Won't you be a little
00:02:34 It ain't going nowhere.
00:02:38 You didn't.
00:02:39 I sure did. Already made the
00:02:42 How much?
00:02:44 That is for him and me to know.
00:02:47 Hey, Boolie!
00:02:49 Got a gem here.
00:02:51 Got that paper, Hoke?
00:02:53 I got it right here.
00:02:54 Be right there.
00:02:56 Why didn't you buy it from Mama?
00:03:00 No, sir. Your mama is in my
00:03:03 I ain't studying about making
00:03:08 She is mine the regular way.
00:03:10 The Hudson's a good car.
00:03:12 Nobody knows that better than you.
00:03:14 Best that ever come off the line.
00:03:16 And this here new one, if Miss
00:03:21 ...l'll let her ride in this one.
00:03:24 Mighty nice of you.
00:03:26 We do what we can.
00:04:33 It is three after seven.
00:04:35 Yes, Ma'am. You said we were
00:04:39 At the latest, I said.
00:04:42 What business you got dragging this
00:04:47 Who was here to help me?
00:04:49 Lord have mercy!
00:04:51 It don't take more than 5
00:04:54 You're fixing to break your arms and
00:04:59 You're taking on too much.
00:05:01 I hate doing things at the last minute.
00:05:03 What you talking about?
00:05:07 - Give me that package.
00:05:10 It sure is pretty.
00:05:13 Yes. It's fragile.
00:05:18 You nearly missed us.
00:05:20 You were leaving at quarter of.
00:05:22 - She's taking on.
00:05:25 Florine bought this for Uncle Walter.
00:05:28 Mama, it's not a snake!
00:05:30 I think it's notepaper.
00:05:31 How appropriate.
00:05:35 Maybe it's soap.
00:05:36 How nice that you take an interest
00:05:41 Don't start up with me, mama...
00:05:43 ...I can't go
00:05:45 I have to go to New York
00:05:46 The convention starts Monday.
00:05:49 And I know what else I know.
00:05:51 Leave Florine out of this.
00:05:55 I'm sure "My Fair Lady" is more
00:05:59 Those Christians will be impressed.
00:06:02 I can't talk to you
00:06:06 - We're expected in Mobile for supper.
00:06:11 - How will you stand her all day?
00:06:16 She's just worked up.
00:06:18 Here's $50 in case you have trouble.
00:06:21 Don't show it to Mama!
00:06:23 - Have you got a map?
00:06:27 It's 7:16!
00:06:30 You should have a job on the
00:06:33 - I want to miss rush hour.
00:06:35 Congratulate Uncle Walter for me
00:06:40 The air conditioning...
00:06:42 ...did you check it, like I said?
00:06:45 I got the air conditioning checked.
00:06:47 I don't know why.
00:06:50 Hush up!
00:06:57 Good luck!
00:07:00 Good God!
00:07:21 Turn left.
00:07:23 No, right! Turn right!
00:08:08 Did I ever tell you about the
00:08:12 When was that?
00:08:14 A few minutes back!
00:08:15 Go on!
00:08:18 My daughter...
00:08:19 ...is married to a Pullman porter.
00:08:22 She is always on the go.
00:08:25 New York, Detroit, St. Lois.
00:08:30 I say, "That's all well
00:08:34 ...but I don't feel the need for it."
00:08:37 So here it is.
00:08:39 The first time.
00:08:42 And I might tell you, Miss Daisy...
00:08:45 ...Alabama is not
00:09:20 Idella sure does stuff eggs good!
00:09:23 You stuff yourself good.
00:09:36 I was thinking about the
00:09:40 It was Walter's wedding: 1888.
00:09:44 1888! You were nothing
00:09:48 I was 12.
00:09:50 We went on the train.
00:09:53 Oh, I was so excited.
00:09:56 I'd never been in a wedding party.
00:09:59 I had never seen the ocean.
00:10:03 Papa said it was the Gulf of Mexico, not
00:10:11 I asked Papa if it was all right
00:10:17 And he laughed because I was so timid.
00:10:23 And then I tasted the
00:10:32 Isn't that a silly thing to remember?
00:10:35 No sillier than most of
00:10:39 Boy!
00:10:43 What are you doing with this car?
00:10:46 This is my car, officer.
00:10:48 Can I see your registration,
00:11:04 What's this name? Wertheran?
00:11:07 Werthan.
00:11:09 Never heard that one.
00:11:11 It is of German derivation.
00:11:14 German derivation.
00:11:32 Thank you, ma'am.
00:12:09 An old nigger and an old Jew woman
00:12:14 Now that is one sorry sight.
00:12:27 Oh, my God!
00:12:29 The sign says Phenix City 30 miles.
00:12:31 We're not supposed to go to
00:12:35 Maybe you read it wrong.
00:12:37 I didn't. Stop the car. Stop the car!
00:12:41 Lord have mercy.
00:12:53 Here. You took the
00:12:57 You took it with me, Miss Daisy.
00:13:01 I was getting the lunch!
00:13:04 It aint' more than 30
00:13:49 They fixed crab for me.
00:13:52 Minnie always fixes crab.
00:13:55 It's all ruined by now.
00:14:00 We going to have to pull over.
00:14:02 What's wrong with the car?
00:14:04 There ain't nothing wrong with the car.
00:14:06 I got to be excused.
00:14:10 I got to go make water.
00:14:13 You should have thought of
00:14:16 You know colored can't use the toilet
00:14:21 There's no time to stop.
00:14:31 No, ma'am.
00:14:35 - I told you to wait!
00:14:41 How do you think I feel having to
00:14:45 ...like I am some child.
00:14:47 I'd be ashamed.
00:14:49 I ain't no child, Miss Daisy.
00:14:52 And I ain't just a back of the neck you
00:14:57 I am a man. I'm near 70 years old.
00:15:03 Now I'm going to get out of this car...
00:15:05 ...and go over there
00:15:09 And I'm taking the key with me, too.
00:15:40 Hoke!
00:15:50 Hoke!
00:15:57 Hoke?
00:16:12 You all right, Miss Daisy?
00:16:15 Of course I am.
00:16:21 Is that you, Slick? It's Boolie.
00:16:25 Congratulations on your dad's big day.
00:16:28 Thank you, Boolie. Thank you.
00:16:36 It's Boolie on the phone.
00:16:42 Hey, son!
00:16:44 Uncle Walter appreciates your call.
00:16:46 I don't think he can come to the phone.
00:16:49 Fine. How's Hoke?
00:16:51 What do you mean?
00:16:54 Happy birthday, Uncle Walter.
00:16:56 I got to hang up now, Boolie.
00:16:58 Yeah, I'll tell him.
00:17:02 For he's a jolly good fellow.
00:17:05 Which nobody can deny!
00:17:46 Morning, Miss McClatchey.
00:17:49 Well, good morning to you.
00:17:53 Can I see him?
00:17:55 It's Mr. Sinclair Harris, sir.
00:17:57 My cousin Sinclair?
00:17:59 His wife... The one that talk funny.
00:18:03 She's from Canton, Ohio.
00:18:06 She's trying to hire me.
00:18:09 - What?!
00:18:12 "How they treating you
00:18:15 You know how she sound,
00:18:18 So I said, "Fine, Mrs. Harris,
00:18:21 She said, "Well, you looking for
00:18:26 I'll be damned!
00:18:28 I thought you ought to know about it.
00:18:31 I'll be goddamned.
00:18:32 Ain't she a mess?
00:18:35 Said, "Name your own salary."
00:18:40 I see. And did you?
00:18:45 Did I what?
00:18:47 - Name your own salary?
00:18:51 I ain't studying working for
00:18:56 But she got you thinking, didn't she?
00:18:59 Well, sir, you might say that.
00:19:04 Name your salary.
00:19:07 That's exactly what she said.
00:19:10 Well, how does $65 a week sound?
00:19:15 Sounds pretty good, sir.
00:19:18 Course, $75 sounds better.
00:19:23 It sure does!
00:19:28 Beginning this week.
00:19:32 That's mighty nice of you.
00:19:35 I sure appreciate this. Thank you.
00:19:41 You ever have folks fighting over you?
00:19:45 No.
00:19:47 It sure feels good.
00:19:57 One dot.
00:20:04 Nine dot.
00:20:08 Two dot.
00:20:10 Mah jongg.
00:20:11 You are the luckiest thing, Beulah!
00:20:16 Excuse me.
00:20:31 I don't know how you can look at that.
00:20:35 See it a few times, you get in it.
00:20:39 Both your brains are
00:20:43 You can bring the cake now, Hoke.
00:20:46 Don't make a mess with those peas.
00:20:48 Do I ever?
00:20:51 Lord have mercy, look at that.
00:20:54 How she get it so shiny?
00:20:56 Washes it in mayonnaise.
00:20:59 - Go on away from here, Idella!
00:21:02 I read it in Life magazine.
00:21:06 Don't seem human, does it?
00:21:08 He will tear you to shreds!
00:21:11 I am not going into that court.
00:21:15 You are at the end of your rope.
00:21:18 You murdered Carlson.
00:21:21 Either choose the easy way out,
00:21:26 ...and let them carve you
00:21:29 You have a minute to make up your mind.
00:21:36 What happened? She up to
00:23:20 - You fixing to ruin it.
00:23:23 You got the chicken too close
00:23:27 Mind your business.
00:23:29 It's your chicken.
00:23:54 Thank you, Hoke.
00:23:55 Now you enjoy it.
00:24:17 Amen.
00:25:54 Who is it?
00:25:55 Morning, Miss Daisy.
00:25:59 What in the world...?
00:26:04 I learned how to drive on ice when
00:26:09 Ain't nothing to it.
00:26:11 Other folks are banging into each
00:26:17 I figured your stove was out, so
00:26:22 I know you got to have
00:26:25 How sweet of you, Hoke.
00:26:30 We ain't had any good coffee
00:26:35 I can fix her biscuits.
00:26:37 We both can make her fried chicken.
00:26:40 But nobody can make Idella's coffee.
00:26:42 Ain't that the truth?
00:26:50 Idella was lucky.
00:26:58 I expect she was.
00:27:15 Where are you going?
00:27:17 I'm just going to take these things off.
00:27:20 I don't know what you can do here
00:27:26 Then I'll see if I can make us a fire.
00:27:30 Eat anything you want
00:27:33 It will all spoil, anyway.
00:27:37 And wipe up what you
00:27:41 What do you think I am, a mess?
00:27:47 Mama, I'll be right out...
00:27:49 ...when I can get down my own driveway.
00:27:51 Stay home, Boolie.
00:27:54 How'd he manage that?
00:27:56 He's very handy. I'm fine.
00:28:00 Hello? I have the wrong number.
00:28:05 I didn't say I love him.
00:28:09 Honestly! Are you trying to irritate
00:28:20 Thank you, Wellborn.
00:28:22 Thank you all.
00:28:24 I am deeply grateful to be
00:28:28 ...by the Atlanta Business Council.
00:28:31 An honor I've seen bestowed
00:28:34 And one I never expected
00:28:38 I'm afraid that my loss up here...
00:28:41 ...and my gain down here...
00:28:43 ...have given me an air of
00:28:48 I will tell you that I wish my father
00:28:52 About 72 years ago, they leased
00:28:57 ...with I believe 25 looms in operation.
00:29:00 They managed to grow with Atlanta.
00:29:02 And Werthan Industries believes that
00:29:07 And this award proves
00:29:11 I thank you.
00:29:43 Well?
00:29:46 What is it? What took you so long?
00:29:49 I couldn't help it.
00:29:53 What's the matter? I might as
00:29:58 No, ma'am, you ain't going to get to
00:30:03 Why not? What's the matter with you?
00:30:08 Somebody has bombed the temple.
00:30:10 What? Bombed the temple?
00:30:15 That's how come
00:30:17 I don't believe it!
00:30:19 That's what the policeman just said.
00:30:25 Oh, my God. Was anybody there?
00:30:29 I don't know. He didn't say.
00:30:32 Who would do such a thing?
00:30:35 You know good as me, Miss Daisy.
00:31:02 I remember one time back
00:31:05 Lord, I couldn't've been more than
00:31:10 I had this friend named Porter.
00:31:13 One day there his daddy
00:31:17 Now just the day before, we'd
00:31:22 Laughing and carrying on and
00:31:26 ...was going to have strong
00:31:31 Lord, there he was.
00:31:35 Had his hand tied behind him.
00:31:40 I tell you, I threw up
00:31:45 You go on and cry.
00:31:49 I'm not crying.
00:31:53 Why did you tell me that story?
00:31:55 Lord, I don't know, Miss Daisy.
00:31:58 That mess back there
00:32:02 Ridiculous! The temple
00:32:05 Yes, ma'am, if you say so.
00:32:07 We don't know. Maybe that
00:32:11 Why would he go and lie
00:32:15 You never get things right!
00:32:17 Miss Daisy, somebody done bombed
00:32:21 I don't want to hear anymore about it!
00:32:25 - You the boss.
00:32:50 - Where are you?
00:33:02 Hello, Mama. How are you feeling?
00:33:05 Not a good question to
00:33:09 Well, you look fine.
00:33:11 It's my ageless appeal!
00:33:15 Miss McClatchey gave me your message.
00:33:17 Florine is invited, too.
00:33:19 Thank you.
00:33:21 I guess Hoke should drive us.
00:33:25 Mama, we have to talk about this.
00:33:27 About what?
00:33:29 About the feasibility of all this.
00:33:31 I believe Martin Luther King has
00:33:36 If you don't want to go,
00:33:39 I want to go! You know
00:33:43 Of course, but Florine...
00:33:44 Florine has nothing to do with it.
00:33:49 I see. Werthan Bag will go out of
00:33:54 Not exactly. But a lot of men I do
00:33:59 They might...
00:34:01 ...snicker a little.
00:34:04 Call me Martin Luther
00:34:11 Maybe I wouldn't hear
00:34:15 Old Jack Raphael at Ideal Mills, he's a
00:34:20 All the really smart ones come
00:34:24 Some might throw their business to Jack
00:34:30 I don't know.
00:34:34 And sometimes that's
00:34:38 Anyway, if we don't use those
00:34:42 If we do not use those seats?
00:34:46 You can do whatever you want.
00:34:48 Thanks for your permission.
00:34:51 Can I ask you something?
00:34:53 When did you get so fired up about
00:34:58 Why, Boolie!
00:34:59 I've never been prejudiced
00:35:04 Then ask Hoke to go with you.
00:35:07 Don't be ridiculous. He wouldn't go.
