01:49:35 Well...
01:49:40 one time...
01:49:43 there was this lake.
01:49:50 And, uh, it was
01:49:54 We used to go fishin' and
01:50:00 And see,
01:50:03 this big flock
01:50:05 came in and landed
01:50:11 and then the temperature dropped so fast
01:50:15 And the, uh,
01:50:18 the ducks, they...
01:50:22 flew off, you see,

01:51:49 And a lady
01:51:52 when to leave.
01:51:55 [Sigh]
01:52:00 [Rev. Scroggins] When I think on
01:52:05 I'm reminded of our
01:52:08 and how his teachings...
01:52:10 [Ninny] It's funny how
01:52:15 even Smokey Lonesome.
01:52:18 When he died
01:52:21 he had one possession
01:52:24 a picture of Ruth.
01:52:28 He was in love with her
01:52:32 We all were.
01:52:41 I shouldn't
01:52:45 I hate death.
01:52:49 Death is nothin'
01:52:52 Look at me. I'm at
01:52:55 and I ain't afraid
01:52:58 Oh, Ninny,
01:53:04 Ruth and Idgie were brave,
01:53:08 I wouldn't be afraid
01:53:11 I'd be more afraid of driving
01:53:18 Oh-oh-oh
01:53:23 Just listen to that rain
01:53:26 A-rainin' in the north
01:53:29 A-rainin' in the south
01:53:30 A-rainin' in the east

01:53:46 I said, o my good Lord
01:53:51 Hey, it rained 40 days and
01:53:54 Noah got worried
01:53:57 He sent out a raven
01:53:59 The water, good God
01:54:01 They tell me my God
01:54:04 The women and the children
01:54:06 They knocked on the windows
01:54:08 While they... Hoo, hoo
01:54:11 Noah said
01:54:14 God said
01:54:16 Hoo, hoo
01:54:19 Listen to the rain
01:54:21 Uh-oh

01:55:47 Well...
01:55:51 I don't mean to seem

01:56:56 I can't leave her
01:56:58 She's not a stray cat.
01:57:02 She's family to me.

01:57:09 Honey?
01:57:11 Ah, look...
01:57:13 have you mentioned this
01:57:17 Not yet.
01:57:21 Then we'll just pretend
01:57:23 I'm making my own money.
01:57:26 You don't have to do
01:57:30 Evelyn...
01:57:32 it's never
01:57:35 So just forget
01:57:39 Don't you ever
01:57:51 Someone helped put a mirror
01:57:54 and I didn't like
01:57:56 You know what I did?
01:58:00 And that someone...
01:58:04 She needs my love and care,
01:58:11 If you'll excuse me,
01:58:19 And if you won't listen
01:58:22 there's always Towanda.
01:58:41 Hey, Nin...
01:58:46 What are you doing?
01:58:49 Those are her things,
01:58:52 What are you doing in here?
01:58:55 Mrs. Threadgoode! The woman
01:58:58 I'm sorry, miss.
01:59:01 was that the woman who lived
01:59:07 Oh, my God!
01:59:10 Wha... What
01:59:14 She died early
01:59:16 They were shorthanded so they asked
01:59:21 That's all I know.
01:59:42 Stop that!
01:59:44 What is the matter
01:59:47 Can't you wait a goddamn day,
01:59:50 Do you have no respect?
01:59:53 I'm sorry, but they told me to get
01:59:57 She may be just
02:00:00 but she was my friend,
02:00:05 I'm just
02:00:07 What is going on? Why
02:00:10 You could've called me before
02:00:13 It never occurred to me that
02:00:16 I didn't even get to tell
02:00:20 These things are difficult, but
02:00:24 To tell you the truth, I thought
02:00:27 Happy? Why, yes! This
02:00:30 What?
02:00:32 No, to go home.
02:00:35 She left in a yellow cab
02:00:37 I don't understand.
02:00:40 She said there wasn't no reason for
02:00:44 Mrs...
02:00:47 Otis is dead?
02:00:49 Oh, Mrs. Otis died.
02:00:53 Mrs. Otis died!
02:00:55 Mrs. Otis!
02:00:58 Not that... I'm glad that
02:01:03 Oh, God,

02:01:51 Unless... Oh, Evelyn, you
02:01:56 It was here when I left.
