DAISY: You got the chicken too close together and the fire is too high. Mind your business.
HOKE: It's your chicken.
DAISY: Thank you, Hoke.
HOKE: Now you enjoy it.
It's a little shocking that after sharing their feelings about Idella's death, Miss Daisy and Hoke still eat apart. She won't break the custom that a person and her help don't eat at the same table. That's another thing that makes the last scene so poignant—Daisy eats her pie sitting with Hoke.
