As Shelby recovers, M'Lynn holds her and repeats that the worst is finished.
It's all over now. It's over.Steel Magnolias · 1989 — 第 6 / 16 章 · 5'03" · B1
Annelle is a nervous new hire with no family and no past she'll discuss. Pressed about her husband, she admits, "I'm not sure if I'm married or not," and the women's shock gives way to pity: her husband vanished with everything and may never have been legal at all.
At Truvy's shop, a brusque older customer cross-examines Annelle, the young new stylist, about where she is from and whether she has a husband. Annelle dodges, then breaks down: her husband Bunky vanished last week with her money and car, the police keep questioning her, and she isn't even sure their marriage is legal.

Here all we've been talking about is weddings and psychotic animals.visit briefly
Truvy stops probing and invites Annelle to come over for cake, turning the mood around.
Drop by this afternoon.For a comedy, this scene turns on something genuinely painful. Annelle has been passing as an ordinary new girl, and the interrogation strips that away: "I'm not sure if I'm married or not" lands as both an absurd line and a confession of how little she controls her own life. The women's cruelty is real — they push and pry — but so is their reflex to close ranks. Truvy's answer to the story is not judgment but a job, already given, and an invitation to the afternoon's cake. Annelle's plea, that her personal tragedy will not interfere with her ability to do good hair, is the film's whole bargain in one sentence: keep going, keep the surface up, and take the small kindness offered.
He is a boil on the butt of humanity.A deliberately gross insult aimed at a husband the speaker cannot stand, funny for how far it goes.
They will ruin your life, mark my words.A grim warning to Annelle, generalizing her runaway husband into every man.

She does not know where Bunky is, whether their marriage is legal, or what he has done; she is afraid the truth will cost her the job.
She believed so, but Bunky vanished and the police told her the marriage may not be legal, so she cannot be certain of her own status.
Annelle's husband, a man who took all her money, jewelry and car, then disappeared last week; the police keep questioning her and he is in trouble with the law.
After her confession they soften: they tell her to come by for the armadillo groom's cake, a small way of welcoming her in.
Yes. Truvy barely hesitates; she accepts Annelle's promise that her troubles will not affect her work and keeps her on.
