Madea's Big Happy Family Page #2

Synopsis: Madea jumps into action when her niece, Shirley, receives distressing news about her health. All Shirley wants is to gather her three adult children around her and share the news as a family. But Tammy, Kimberly and Byron are too distracted by their own problems: Tammy can't manage her unruly children or her broken marriage; Kimberly is gripped with anger and takes it out on her husband; and Byron, after spending two years in jail, is under pressure to deal drugs again. It's up to Madea, with the help of the equally rambunctious Aunt Bam, to gather the clan together and make things right the only way she knows how: with a lot of tough love, laughter ... and the revelation of a long-buried family secret.

and bring me like I'm a kid to the hospital.

You got diabetes and you wasn't feeling

well and I brought you to the hospital.

Well, I feel well now. Can we go?

- Good day.

- Good day, Doctor. How you doing?

- Very well, thanks.

- Good, good.

Now, Mr. Brown,

you have to take your insulin.

I've been taking.

- Now, are you eating right?

- Yes, sure, I'm eating right. Yes.

No, he doesn't. He's lying.

Cora, ain't nobody...

You don't call me no liar.

I'm your daddy.

You come here, you're gonna sit there

and look at my face and call me no liar.

- You don't know what I eat.

- I know what he ate.

He ate 10 pieces of bacon,

three eggs, a biscuit

and a pork chop with jelly and orange juice.

Just for your information

that's where you lie,

'cause I don't even eat pork.

I ate ham. Thank you.

See, the problem with a lot of people is

they think diabetes is just a little sugar.

It isn't. Now you have to eat right...

- He don't do that.

- ...you have to exercise.

He don't do that.

And let me tell you something, there are

people who have lost their eyesight,

their limbs, and even

died from this disease.

Now you gotta get serious about this,

lose some weight,

...start exercising, or things could

get worse. - Exercise.

Exercising, losing weight...

I am... Doctor, I hear what you...

Are you listening to what he's saying?

Cora, didn't I just say

I hear what he's saying?

Now you're gonna make me whoop you.

Get you some business.

You need to get you a husband,

maybe that'll keep you

out of other people's business.

- You married, Doctor?

- No, sir.

Cora ain't married neither.

Why don't you ask her to marry you

and y'all live happily ever after

in a forest or something?

So she can leave me alone,

stay out of my business.

Stay out of my mental function.

What?

Now, Mr. Brown, I've also noticed

you've never had a colonoscopy.

Oh, yes, that's where you're wrong.

I drink colas all the time.

I like colas with ice and everything.

And he shouldn't be drinking colas.

There's too much sugar, isn't there, Doctor?

Cora, you're too much sugar.

Looking like a bag of cotton candy.

Cora is the snack demon.

That's right. I caught her one day

sneaking to get some chips.

Under your bed, I found them chip bags.

And she got soda water bags

and cups and everything under her bed.

- You...

- How many Oreos would this be?

- You...

- You know how many it is! Tell me.

- You know how many...

- Five Oreos.

You can tell me 'cause you tried to tell me

the other night.

We're not in here about me...

Mr. Brown, I do have to tell you that

you are well past 40 now.

Way past!

Well, I ain't that much past. You're trying
