At the last minute, she offhandedly invites Hoke to the dinner, but
he refuses because she didn't ask him beforehand, like she would anyone
else.
As Daisy gets older, she begins to lose her reason. One day Hoke
must call Boolie because Daisy is having a delusion. She thinks she is a
schoolteacher and she is upset because she can't find her students'
papers. Before Boolie's arrival, she has a moment of clarity, and she tells
Hoke that he is her best friend.
In the play's final segment, Daisy is ninety-seven and Hoke is
eighty-five. Hoke no longer drives; instead, he relies on his granddaughter
to get around. Boolie is about to sell Daisy's house—she has been living in
a nursing home for two years. Hoke and Boolie go to visit her on
Thanksgiving. She doesn't say much to either of them, but when Boolie
starts talking she asks him to leave, reminding him that Hoke came to see
her. She tries to pick up her fork and eat her pie. Hoke takes the plate and
the fork from her and feeds her a small bite of pie.
