Mm-hm.
I know now that it's against the law,
what we're doing.
I've never seen you
out of uniform before.
You look really nice.
Thank you.
I ain't never had no white person
in my house before.
Miss Skeeter...
...what if you don't like what I
got to say... about white people?
This isn't about me.
It doesn't matter how I feel.
You gonna have to change my name.
Mine, Miss Leefolt's. Everybody.
Do you have other maids
that are interested?
That gonna be hard.
What about Minny?
Minny got her some stories,
sure enough,
but she ain't real keen on talking
What does it feel like
when your own child's at home being
looked after by somebody else?
It feel...
Is that your son?
Yes, ma'am.
Can we move on to the next question?
You don't have to call me ma'am.
Not here.
Uh...
Do you want to talk about the bathroom?
Or anything about Miss Leefolt?
How she pays you, or has she ever
yelled at you in front of Mae Mobley?
I thought I might write my stories down
and read them to you.
Ain't no different than writing down
my prayers.
OK.
Sure.
I don't say my prayers out loud.
I can get my point across
a lot better writing them down.
I write an hour,
sometimes two, every night.
And after my prayers last night,
I got some stories down, too.
Go ahead.
"My first white baby to ever look after
was named Alton Carrington Speers.
It was 1925, and I had just turned 14.
I dropped out of school
to help Mama with the bills.
Alton's mama died of lung disease. "
I loved that baby. And he loved me.
That's when I learned I could make
children feel proud of theyself.
Alton used to always be asking me
how come I was black.
Just ate him up.
And one time, I told him it was because
I drank too much coffee.
You should have seen his face.
This was just so great.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate
your doing this with me.
What changed your mind?
God.
And Miss Hilly Holbrook.
Miss Hilly, I would like to ask you
and Mr. William something.
My twin boys graduated from high school,
both on the honor roll.
Me and my husband, we been saving
for years to send them to Tougaloo.
on one of the tuitions.
Whoo! I am late. I gotta get going.
See you tonight, honey.
OK.
Go on.
Well, now we're...
...faced with having to choose
which son can go if we don't
come up with the money.
Would you consider giving us a loan?
I'd work every day for free
till it was paid off.
That's not working for free.
That's paying off a debt.
Yes, ma'am.
As a Christian, I'm doing you a favor.
See, God don't give charity to those
who are well and able.
You need to come up with this money
on your own. OK?
Yes, ma'am.
You'll thank me one day.
you taste it with a different spoon.
If they see you put the tasting spoon
back in the pot,
might as well throw it all out.
Spoon, too.
And you use the same cup, same fork,
same plate every day.
And you put it up in the cabinet.
You tell that white woman that's where
you're gonna keep it from now on out.
Don't do it and see what happens.
Morning, ladies.
When you're sewing white folks coffee,
set it down in front of them.
Don't hand it to them,
'cause your hands can't touch.
And don't hit on they children.
White folks like to do
they own spanking.
And last thing. Come here.
Look at me.
No Sass-mouthing.
No Sass-mouthing.
I mean it.
Give your mama a kiss.
Leroy had made Sugar quit
school to help him with the bills.
And every day Minny
went without a job,
might have been a day Leroy
took her from our world.
Good morning, everybody.
But I knew.
I knew the only white lady Miss Hilly
hadn't gotten to with her lies.
Hey!
Come on!
No sass-mouthing, Minny Jackson.
No Sass-mouthing.
Aibileen said you'd be on time.
I'm Celia Rae Foote.
I'm Minny Jackson.

One of those upside-down cakes
from a magazine.
It ain't working out too good.
Come on, let's get you a cold Coca-Cola.
Come on.
This here is the kitchen.
What in the hell?
I guess I got some learning to do.
You sure do.
Johnny's grandmama left him this house
when she died.
And then Johnny's mama
wouldn't let me change a thing.
But if I had it my way,
this place would be wall-to-wall
white carpet with gold trim.
None of this old stuff.
The main house has
five beds and baths,
and then the pool house has
two more beds and baths.
When y'all gonna start

Sanitation Initiative that I drafted,
and he passed it along
to Governor Barnett!
Skeeter, when can we expect to see
the initiative in the newsletter?
I gave it to you a month ago.
I gave that to you myself.
Would you please stand, Skeeter?
I'll have it in there real soon.
Great.

- Hey.
Thanks.
Hilly, I really am sorry
