The long-anticipated movie version of the best-selling book 'The Help' finally hit theaters in August of 2011, and, not surprisingly, it's filled with great quotes. From the humor of Minny Jackson (Octavia Spencer) to the wisdom of Aibileen Clark (Viola Davis) and the persistence of Skeeter Phelan (Emma Stone) - the young, very green writer determined to tell their stories to the world - 'The Help' offers poignant, memorable quotes that echo those in Kathryn Stockett's novel. These women blaze a dangerous trail, daring to expose the racial injustices the black maids suffer at the hands of their white employers in the early-1960s in Jackson, Mississippi. If you're a fan and you don't see your favorite 'The Help' quotes on this list, feel free to add them!

‘The Help’ debuted very strong at the U.S. box office, taking in more than $26 million in its opening weekend. The movie stayed strong in coming weeks, securing the number one spot for several more weeks, outperforming initial box office expectations. The movie was buoyed by generally favorable reviews and strong word-of-mouth, as moviegoers passed the word along that it was a great film. By mid-September of 2011, ‘The Help’ had earned well over $147 million domestically.

    Godless

    Aibileen: (to Hilly) "You're a Godless woman."

    Aibileen's anger is never more apparent than when she utters this line to Hilly. Her devastation is understandable (for those who haven't read the book or seen the movie, we'll skip telling you why).

    Done It Now

    Aibileen: "We've gone done it now."

    Yes Aibileen, you have. With the help of your fellow maids, and Skeeter, you've put your story out for everyone to read - including the residents of Jackson. Brave, and dangerous.

    I Got a Job Today

    Skeeter: "I got a job today."
    Charlotte: "Where?"
    Skeeter: "Writing for the Jackson Journal."
    Charlotte: "Great, you can write my obituary - Charlotte Phelan dead, her daughter, still single."

    All Charlotte (Allison Janney) wants for her daughter is marriage - not a career. She makes this abundantly clear throughout the film, starting as soon as Skeeter graduates from Ole Miss. This is the last thing on Skeeter's mind...

    Scandalous

    Missus Walters: "You should read the book, it's quite scandalous - sounds like Jackson if you ask me."

    Missus Walters (Sissy Spacek) is spot on. Skeeter did change a few things in her book - but it's pretty obvious who she's writing about. Hilly isn't going to be happy...

      I adore this movie! I haven't read the book yet, but I will. I would love to see Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer take home Oscars for their performances.
