"The Help" Quotes and Dialogue

Minny: I work Sunday through Friday.
Celia: You can't work at all on the weekends.
Minny: …Mmmkay. Well, what time you want me here?
Celia: After nine and you gotta leave before four.
Minny: …Mmkay.

If there was such a thing as a co-Oscar award, it should go to actresses Octavia Spencer and Jessica Chastain for their part in "The Help." You can watch a clip of their dialogue in this Youtube video.

Minny (to Skeeter and Aibileen): You two give me heart palpitations!

Minny (to Skeeter, after agreeing to be interviewed by her): I need to see you square on at all times. …I got to come up with the questions too?!

Skeeter (to her mom, Charlotte): What is that?
Charlotte: Shinolator. All the way from New York City. I'm a good mother. Come on, sit down.
Charlotte (doing Skeeter's hair): The whole system costs eleven dollars. Even smells expensive! You're going to look beautiful on your date tonight.
Skeeter: I can feel the hope in your fingers.

Emma Stone and Allison Janney (Charlotte) also work well together in the movie. You can watch this full Shinolator scene between Emma Stone and Allison Janney on Youtube.

Aibileen: We've gone and done it now.

Skeeter (to her rude blind date Stuart): I'm sorry, but were you dropped on your head as an infant or were you just born stupid? A little cliché but Emma Stone makes every line sound good.

Minny (talking about Hilly's outfit): She look like the winning horse at the Kentucky Derby… all those flowers and bows.

Hilly: Have you lost your mind?
Minny (about to tell her about the revenge pie she baked for her): No ma'am, but you about to.

Celia (to Minny, after not seeming to be aware that white bosses don't usually eat at the same table as the help): Oh, there you are!

Aibileen (to young girl): You is kind… You is smart… You is important. This is one of the most memorable movie lines of 2011.
