Madea's Big Happy Family Page #6

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 y'all still taking him to the bathroom?

I told her to stop babying these kids.

What did you say, Harold?

He said he told you

to stop babying these children.

I did not say...

- Shut up, you did.

- I didn't say that...

- Hey, Tammy.

- Why would you... You're a tattletale.

- Calvin!

- Hey, Shirley, how are you?

- Where is Kimberly?

- You know your daughter, she's working,

...but she'll be here.

- Oh, well.

- Harold.

- Shirley.

It's so good to see my two fine son-in-laws!

- Yes, ma'am. - Wait a minute,

I only see one fine one, hon.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Aunt Bam.

Child, I don't smoke that much, shut up.

Don't turn that...

Don't... Leave that alone.

Now...

Thank you very much.

You didn't hear me say don't touch?

Harold, you better get your child.

H.J., stop that now,

you see grown folks talking now.

Punk-ass.

See this? Look at this right here.

I tell you what...

- Bam, don't kill him! Don't kill him!

- Sit down.

Touch it again.

Don't kill him, Aunt Bam!

Look, Harold can let that child act like

he wants to if they want to.

Oh, I got another one, honey.

Touch it again. Touch it.

Touch it, Shaka Zulu. Touch it.

- Harold, you don't see this?

- He's just a kid.

- You know these new kids, they do...

- Shut up!

He's a kid that needs to know

who the parents are, Harold.

What do you expect, Aunt Bam?

They let these kids run around

like they have no home training at all.

That's why I don't allow my son

around these children.

Baby...

- What did she just say?

- Tammy, calm down.

She said she don't want her children

around your children

'cause your children act like fools.

They look like fools, they dress like fools.

- Look at them, they're just foolish.

- Thank you.

I know you're not talking about my children.

My boys that I'm raising?

She punked you. You look like a sucker.

See?

This is why I didn't even wanna

come over here to begin with.

Girl, you barely spend time

with Mama anyway.

Being here ain't gonna kill you.

Come on, girls, now calm down.

Why are y'all

blowing up my phone up anyway?

Wait a minute,

your mama told me to call y'all over here.

- For what?

- I just wanted to see you, that's all.

Mama, you know I got things to do.

Well, at least stay

and have dinner with me. Please?

- Please?

- In the middle of the week?

It's bad enough we do this on Sundays.

Princess,

when was the last Sunday

that you came over here not to eat with us?

I'm sorry, I must not have been here.

What year was that?

You don't remember either, do you?

That's it.

Mama, I don't like you begging her.

Come on in the kitchen

and help me get this food together,
