[Charlene drops back by Sugarbaker's to pick up her purse and finds Julia still there.]
Aren't you supposed to be at the church?
I'm not going.
Why?
I just can't do it, that's all. I know you're disappointed in me. I'm disappointed in myself.
Why don't you think you can do it? Are you still afraid you can't hit that high note?
That, among other things.
What other things?
Oh, I don't know — laryngitis, forgetting the words, getting my choir robe trapped up in my pantyhose — you name it, I've thought of it.
(sad and teary) I just resigned from my church.
Oh, Charlene. I'm so sorry.
Yeah, me too.
Is there anything I can do?
Yes, as a matter of fact there is. My minister, Reverend Nunn, is gonna be at the closing ceremony tonight, and for some reason I need to be proud of women tonight. I wanna hear you hit that high note.
No, Charlene. No, I can't.
Yes you can. Julia, I know you can. Now what I just did took more courage than I ever thought I had, and it would be impossible for me to have more courage than you.
What makes you so sure?
Well... 'cause you're my hero.
touched... heroine.
Even better.
Charlene, that's a nice idea, but just because you have faith in me doesn't mean I'll be able to do it.
Well, who said anything about having faith in you? I'm just asking you to have the guts to step up to the microphone and open your mouth. I think I can get him to supply the notes.
Exactly how sure are you?
Just a feeling. Oh please, Julia. Do it for me. Do it for all us girls.
You mean you, Mary Jo and Suzanne?
I mean all us girls... everywhere.
