At least six uses of "Oh, my God", "My God", or "Oh, God."
One use of "G.D." rather than the whole phrase.
One "What the hell." |

Some very mild domestic conflict. Alabama police confront Hoke, calling him "Boy" and making a show of their authority. Miss Daisy gets worried waiting by the dark roadside while Hoke goes into the woods to "make water", but it turns out fine. Miss Daisy's long-time maid dies (of natural causes); you see her briefly in her coffin at the funeral. |
