Driving Miss Daisy Page #4

And don't tell everyone my business.

Mr. Werthan?

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

I just drove your mama to the store!

You know, she flapped around some,

but she's all right. She's in the store.

Oh, Lord, she just looked

out the window and seen me.

She'll probably throw a fit right

there at the check-out counter.

Yes, sir. You are right about that.

It only took me 6 days.

Same time it took the

Lord to make the world.

Yes, sir. All right. 'Bye.

Hey Oscar, Junior. How you

old boys doing today?

How the lady been treating you?

I'll tell you one thing;

she knows how to throw a fit.

What's so funny?

Nothing, Miss Daisy.

We just carrying on.

Oscar and Junior been doing cleaning

here for 15 years. Never carried on before!

Leave them alone.

Put your coat on.

We're late.

Idella, I'm gone now.

I'm right behind her.

Hear, oh Israel, the Lord

our God, the Lord is one.

Such a nice man. And such a good,

short sermon, wasn't it?

I can get it myself!

Hurry out of here!

Is something wrong, Miss Daisy?

Something I done?

Yes.

I haven't done anything.

You parked the car right in front of the

temple, like I was the Queen of Romania.

Everybody saw you!

I said to wait for me in back.

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

There were two chauffeurs

right behind me.

You made me look like a fool.

A g.d. fool!

Oh, Miss Daisy, Lord

knows you ain't no fool!

Slow down!

Miriam and Beulah, I could see what

they were thinking when we came out.

What's that?

That I was pretending to be rich!

- You is rich.

- No, I'm not!

Nobody can say I put on airs.

On Forsyth Street we made many

meals of grits and gravy.

I have done without plenty of times.

Miss Daisy, if I was to ever

get my hands on what you got...

...shoot, I'd shake it around

for everyone in the world to see.

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

Never understand some white folks.

What was that?! I heard that!

Now, Miss Daisy...

you needs a chauffeur...

...and Lord knows I need a job.

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

Good morning, Mama.

What's the matter?

No, I don't always think

something's wrong when you call.

Just when you call so early.

What?!

All right. I'll be there

as soon as I can.

I better get on over there.

'Bye.

Come on.

It's not healthy to rush like this.

I eat too much, anyway.

Besides, it sounds like she needs me.

When doesn't it?

Give Mother Werthan my love.

Coffee, Katie Bell!

I didn't expect to

find you in one piece.

I wanted you to be here

when he comes.

I wanted you to hear it

for yourself.

What is going on?

He's stealing from me.

Hoke? Are you sure?

I don't make empty accusations.

I have proof!
