  Rhonda : What fives?

  Novalee Nation : On my fifth birthday my mama ran off with a baseball umpire named Fred and never came back. And after I dropped out of school and was waiting tables at Red's, one of the regulars there named Gladys went crazy. When I tried to calm her down she jumped at me with a steak knife and cut me from my wrist to my elbow.

  Rhonda : And what's that got to do with fives?

  Nicki : It took 55 stitches to close her up.

  Novalee Nation : I don't like fives.
