- While he's driving her to the dinner, she says that Boolie suggested that Hoke wanted to go to the dinner.
- But she doesn't exactly ask him if he wants to go.
- Hoke's offended that Miss Daisy, who had the invitation to the dinner for a month, waited until the night of the dinner to bring this up.
