Her son, Boolie, insists that she have a chauffeur after she wrecks her car. She is stubborn and often mean. Hoke is an African-American, illiterate, but very respectful and patient man. They are an uncommon pair to be friends in the south. As the continues, a lot will change. |

Hoke tries to convince Daisy to let him drive her around which is what Boolie is paying him for. She refuses at first. He waits patiently. He drives along side her when she was walking to the Piggly Wiggly. He uses reverse psychology to finally gets her in the car, by telling her that, "It's a shame to have a brand new car and not ride in it." She gets in. |

Daisy is very mean to Hoke. Every time he tries to help her, she yells at him. When Hoke drives her to the synagogue, he pulls up in front to pick her up. She yells at him and says she knows that the other ladies are calling her rich. She is embarrassed about that and yells. She doesn't like it when Hoke is around, so she is Daisy and Hoke become the best of friends at a time when racism was active. They both end up helping each other, although Daisy and Hoke keep their feelings to themselves. The play ends with Hoke helping Daisy finish-off a piece of pumpkin pie.
