The Help (2011)

Mike Vogel: Johnny Foote

Quotes 

• Johnny Foote : Listen, Celia finally told me about the babies. All of them. But I also know that the minute you started working here, she started getting better. You saved her life.

  Minny Jackson : You mean, you knew I'd been working here this whole time?

  Johnny Foote : Fried chicken and okra the first night? I mean, you all could have at least put some cornpone on the table.

  Minny Jackson : No, I can't let you eat no more cornpone, Mr. Johnny.

  Johnny Foote : Well, thanks to you, now I've have to let out every pair of pants I own.

• Minny Jackson : [Johnny's escorted Minny to the house where Celia has an elegant meal on the table]  What's this?

  Celia Foote : [proudly]  I cooked it all by myself.

  Johnny Foote : Yes she did. She was up all night.

  Celia Foote : I wanted to do something special. I wanted to say thank you.

  Minny Jackson : So, I ain't losing my job?

  Celia Foote : [shaking her head in surprise]  No.

  Johnny Foote : You have a job here for the rest of your life. If you want it.

  Minny Jackson : [smiles in acceptance]  That's a mile high meringue, Miss Celia?
