Madea's Big Happy Family Page #5

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.

did it in that diaper.

- Change that baby's diaper.

- Please.

- Get that off of me.

- Okay, Mama.

Let's go upstairs

and change you then, huh?

Get you fresh. Baby, can you hand me

a diaper out the bag?

I am not the nanny. Here.

- Well, thank you.

- You're welcome.

All right, Mama. I'm gonna go change him.

Don't you think

you need to be going with him somewhere?

Why? That is not my baby.

I don't like you.

- Excuse me?

- I said I don't like you.

- So?

- Bam, the baby is here.

Well, then I tell you what,

let's do a nursery rhyme for the baby.

Row, row, row your ho

Up and down the street

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily

She's just a piece of meat

Whatever!

That's what I don't like about her.

That's why I get high.

That's why I have to stay high.

Tell me again why we're here.

Listen, my mother wanted

all of us to come over, okay?

I have better things to do

than sit at your mama's house.

I mean, I don't know what's worse,

the baby poop or the smell of moth balls,

or that Bam thing.

Listen, baby, will you...

Will you please let me just find out

what's going on first?

After that I will take you home.

How are you gonna take me home?

You ain't got no car.

Every time I come over here,

it's some drama.

You remember your apartment

and your Benz?

Don't you miss it?

Yeah. Yeah.

Just like I miss going to jail, right?

And wasn't I right there by your side?

You? But you wasn't in there.

All you gotta do is make one little drop

and get us enough money to get a place.

Instead of spending the night

at my sister's house

and me sneaking up here in your mama's

house in the middle of the night.

Come on, Byron, don't you wanna be

alone with me in our own place?

It's just one drop.

Listen, stop talking about that

kind of stuff around my son.

Boy, he don't know what I'm saying.

- Renee.

- What?

You are not gonna get caught.

Roscoe said you were one of his best guys

when you were slinging.

Come on, Byron.

See, when I first met you, you had heart.

Look, and I got heart!

And I also got a job, too.

And that's enough for us right now.

I'm out of the game.

Look, I love you, Byron, I really do,

but that little 10 an hour you're making

is not taking care of me or you.

I don't wanna talk about this no more.

Okay?

Okay. Fine.

I told you to go right and you go left.

- Okay.

- I can't stand you sometimes, Harold.

Had you did what I told you to do

we would have been here 15 minutes ago.

- Yeah...

- I told you this boy has to pee.

- Yeah, but he's all right.

- What up, people? What up, Bam?

- I wanna go to the bathroom.

- Hey, baby.

You know where the bathroom is, boy.

Come on.

Wait a minute, that boy is 10 years old
