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
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 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.
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 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.
