So after Lux wakes up on the football field


She goes and calls a cab from where?? Not to mention the cab pulls in the driveway, lets her out, the parents come out and yet the cabbie is totally ignored by them and gets no payment. There's no way she had any money on her...?? It may seem trivial but it is just one of the odd parts of this movie that I just did not get.

Edited due to book re-read:

Uncle Tucker had just gone out to the garage refrigerator to get another six-pack when the taxi drove up two hours later. He saw Lux get out and reach into her purse for the five-dollar bill Mrs. Lisbon had given each daughter before leaving that evening. "Always have cab fare" was her dictum, even though that night was the first time she had allowed the girls to go out, and, hence, to need any. Lux didn't wait for her change. She started up the driveway, lifting her dress to walk and staring at the ground.


So, it seems she had the money on her. Question answered!
