Madea's Big Happy Family Page #12

He done moved the hell on.

You can't get to what's in front of you,

'cause you're too busy looking

to see what the hell he

doing with this girl. Move on.

Stop or that child will grow up resenting

you for that. Do you hear me?

That is a human being.

That is not some pawn that you can use

to make this man's life miserable.

Stop doing it.

'Cause if I catch you doing it,

I'm gonna beat the hell out of you.

Do you understand? You don't know me.

You don't want none of this.

This is old "whoop your ass."

And old "whoop your ass" is much worse

than new "whoop your ass."

New "whoop your ass" get up off you,

old "whoop your ass" have you in the grave.

Do you want some old "whoop your ass"?

Do you want some old "whoop your ass"?

And you, out there selling dope.

Yeah, she's a snitch.

She told me you out there selling dope,

giving this girl all the money.

Can't give her $20 for some Pampers?

What the hell wrong with you?

A man take care of his baby

without anybody telling him

he need to take care of his baby.

Get a job. Go to work.

Do you understand what I am telling you?

Y'all them young folk, born around the '80s,

something happened to 'em.

Y'all feel like y'all don't have to

work for nothing,

somebody's supposed to hand

something to you,

forgetting that old folks marched

for your dumb ass,

to get you where you can be and to be free.

That dope either gonna lead you to

one of two places:

to the grave or to prison.

Now you've already been to prison.

You ready to go back to jail?

You ready to go to the grave?

Which one you want?

'Cause as soon as you go down,

this one right here

is going to be sold to the highest bidder.

All she looking for is some money.

Say something. I dare you.

I double-D dare you to say something.

I'm gonna tell you right now,

I will be checking in with

this side of the family from time to time.

And y'all better have it together.

You two. You better be F. Lee Bailey,

you better be Johnnie Cochran.

I want to see a settlement.

I want to know

who's going to have the baby,

who gonna pick him up,

who gonna have Pampers,

when you gonna come

and give the child support,

when is the money gonna be there.

You better write it all down.

Do you hear what I'm tellin' you, son?

Your mama did not want ya'll to know this.

- Madea.

- Shut up.

She wanted to keep this hidden from y'all,

but I'm gonna tell y'all.

You arguing and fussing with this girl,

she fussing.

She mad at the world.

Honey, you know why you be so mad?

This child was raped by your uncle

at 12 years old.

Anything that's covered up don't get healed.

That's what's wrong with people.

Keep trying to cover things up,

and covered up. That don't help nobody.

I can't stand nobody sitting around saying,

"What goes on in this house stays in

this house."

Let me explain something to you.

Whatever went on in that house,

if you're getting hurt by it

and it's tearing you up in your adult life,

you need to go get some help.

This man is trying to love you

and you acting like a fool.

Always grouchy and mean.

And the reason you so nasty, honey,

you ain't forgave the man that raped you.

You got to forgive those people, honey.

Not for them, but for you.

If you don't, they take power over you.

Do you hear me?

Forgive him for your own sake.

This man is trying to love you.

Go talk to him, act like you got some sense.

Go on upstairs and talk to the man.

Go on, talk to him.

You know, my mama used to

rock me to sleep in here.

At the hospital,

she told me to tell you that she loved you.

And that she was sorry

and she felt like she failed you.

She said that?

Yeah. Baby, why didn't you tell me?

I didn't know how.

I want to hold you. Can I?

Please.

We're going to get some help.

I love you.

I love you. I'm so sorry.

- Baby, I love you.

- I'm so sorry, baby.

Come on, baby, let's go.

Roscoe's waiting for you.

- I'm not doing it.

- You... What?

I'm not doing it.

Byron, we need the money.

Listen, I don't need the money that bad.

All right?

Get some heart, Byron. Damn.

Are you really gonna sit up here

and let that old lady tell you what to do?

- We need the money, Byron.

- Listen to me.

I just buried my mother today and you

wanna come in and you wanna talk...

You know what, move.

Get out, get out.

- Fine. With your broke ass.

- Yeah.

I ain't need you anyway.

I'm so glad you here.

That's right.

They don't even know what to say.

I told you, I told you.

What's wrong with you?

It's nice what you did

for this family, Madea.

- Yes, it is. Praise the Lord.

- It is.

But you can't even do it

for your own daughter.

- Did she just go off on me?

- Sound like she did.

What you talking about, Cora?

My daddy, Madea.

You don't even know who...

That is your daddy,

that silverback standing over there.

Madea... Well, prove it, then. Prove it.

- Prove it, then?

- Yes. Prove it to me.

How the hell I'm supposed

to prove it to you?

Prove it. Yes.

How you doing, Marley Kovitch?

Yeah. Okay. Nice to see you, Mr. Brown.

I know this is very upsetting to you.

- Yes, sir.

- 'Cause after all these years,

you're gonna find out

whether Brown is your father.

All these years,

I just found out he was my daddy.

And now she's trying to say that...

And Cora look just like me.

Tell me she don't look just like me.

- Really?

- Yes. Look at her eyes.

You can't tell me her eyes and her hair...

Well, she didn't comb her hair that day.

But she look just like me, Marley.

So, Cora, when you were growing up,

who did you think your father was?

I didn't know, Maury. I didn't know.

But Mr. Brown always acted like my father,

so it came easy once Madea told me.

When did Madea tell you?

I was, like, 40-something.

- Forty-something?

- Yes.

- Okay, you all have

talked a lot about this. - Yeah.

But we haven't heard from Madea.

And this is what Madea had to say

to my producers.

Brown is a lowdown dirty...

He is a liar, he is a cheater.

He ain't never did

like he was supposed to do for Cora.

He gonna act like he...

He wanted to act like

he done went to the doctor

and found out he ain't the baby daddy.

He is the baby daddy.

And I'm gonna tell you right now, Maury,

I'm gonna tell you right now

I know that's the baby daddy.

'Cause that is the only baby daddy

that I had a baby daddy with.

He is the baby daddy.

If he ain't the baby daddy...

I know he's the baby

daddy 'cause I know...

I know that was the worst

15 seconds of my life.

So I know that's the baby daddy.

You ain't even got to worry about,

'cause I know that was the baby daddy.

Cora ain't got to figure it out.

But when I go up there,

I'm gonna show... I'm gonna say it all.

'Cause he's so damn stupid,

he don't even want nobody

to tell nobody

what the hell he's supposed to do.

But I know that's the baby daddy.

Y'all ain't gotta tell me,

'cause I know that's the baby daddy.

I can't wait till I get up in there.
