over at the river club every

other night of the week,

doin' anything

but pray. Come on.

More!

Give me some.

Okay, time to get off.

We gotta jump.

Jump?

Yeah, jump. The next stop's

five miles down the tracks.

I don't wanna walk

that far back.

Are you crazy?

You're not kiddin'.

Well...

I give up. Jump.

I'll tell Mama I'm not

a good influence on you...

You'll never jump,

will you?

Don't say "never"

to me.

Towanda!

You all right?

I'm fine.

I'm all right.

Ow!

Does this hurt?

Guess so.

We better get you to

a doc... doctor. Sh*t!

Which way is it?

About two miles

down the tracks.

All right,

let's go.

You'll never be able

to carry me that far.

I know.

Never say never.

I'm not carryin' you.

You're walkin'.

Thank you,

Julian. I owe you one.

Uh. Ow.

Aren't you ready yet?

What?

This doesn't have anything

to do with trains, does it?

You like honey?

Yeah, I like honey.

Fresh honey?

Yeah.

Me too.

There it is.

There what... is?

You'll see soon enough.

Now... stay here.

No matter what happens,

don't move.

What are you

gonna do?

Ah.

Here you are, madam.

This is for you.

Why did you do that?

You could have been killed.

I'm sorry.

Don't you want

the honey?

I got it

just for you.

It's all right.

I do it all the time.

I never get stung,

honest.

Don't be

mad at me, Ruth.

Idgie,

I'm not mad at you.

No foolin'?

Is it bad,

what I did?

No.

I thought I might

be crazy or somethin'.

No, no.

I've heard there were people

who could charm bees.

I've just never seen

it done... before today.

You're just a bee charmer,

Idgie Threadgoode.

That's what you are,

a bee charmer.

Here, you want

to taste it?

"Satan started to

laugh at Jobs devotion.

"He bet God that Job would

never have so much faith...

"if he didn't have

so many blessings.

"He went on and on so long and

so much that God finally agreed...

"to let Satan

put Job to a test.

"Suddenly, from bein'

on top of the world,

Job was plunged down into

the deepest pits of misery. "

Surprise!

Idgie Threadgoode!

Tonight we're gonna have

a real party.

Drink this... and then,

we're gonna play some poker.

I don't know how to play

poker and I never drink...

but thank you anyway.

Oh,

my darlin' Oh, my darlin'

Here comes the windup.

Burn that ball in here.

Burn 'em in here!

Right in the pocket. I

don't know how to bat.

And you don't drink,

either.

It's gonna be a spitter.
