I want to take something that freezes beautifully.Steel Magnolias · 1989 — 第 13 / 16 章 · 3'13" · B2
Annelle, newly devout, finds beer in her fridge and lays down the law; her boyfriend cannot follow her into that kind of faith. The chapter then moves to the Eatentons the night before Shelby's kidney transplant, where the family makes dark jokes to get through it: "After tomorrow it'll be a long time before I can pick him up again."
Annelle refuses to keep liquor in her refrigerator and presses Sammy about taking the Lord's name in vain; he jokes he will not spend fifty years with someone he will not meet in the hereafter. At the Eatenton house before Shelby's transplant, the family plays cards, cracks transplant jokes and sends the children to bed; Shelby says it will be long before she can pick up her son again.

Annelle worries about missing church, and the older woman says the only thing that matters is showing up.

God don't care which church you go to, long as you show up.Long as you blurs into long-uh-yuh in fast speech.
God don't care which church you go to, long as you show up.The chapter sets two kinds of faith side by side. Annelle's new religion is absolute and a little comic — beer cannot stay in her fridge, and her boyfriend Sammy is left joking that he cannot follow her into the hereafter. The Eatentons, by contrast, handle the worst night of their lives with jokes: the transplant becomes a running gag about sawing a body in half, and "A Tale of Two Kidneys." Nobody says out loud that Shelby may not survive; instead her one honest line — "After tomorrow it'll be a long time before I can pick him up again" — carries the fear for everyone. The final note, that God does not care which church you go to as long as you show up, quietly answers Annelle's strictness with something warmer.
After tomorrow it'll be a long time before I can pick him up again.Shelby's goodbye to her ordinary life before surgery: recovery will keep her from even lifting her son.

They basically have to saw her in half to get the kidney out.The family's black-humour version of M'Lynn's surgery, said to make the frightening thing bearable.
She has become strictly religious and will not keep liquor in her own home; she tells Sammy he can do what he likes in his refrigerator but not in hers.
It is his reaction to Annelle's new faith: he cannot picture sharing a life with someone whose religion would keep them apart in the next one.
Shelby is receiving a kidney from her mother, M'Lynn, and the family is gathered the night before the operation.
The jokes — sawing a body in half, A Tale of Two Kidneys — are how they handle fear; the film lets them laugh so the audience feels how scared they are.
It is her Sunday to count the offering and she is already late, so she hurries the beans to the Eatentons and then goes on to church.
