Sister Mae and her husband have visited the plantation to squabble over the inheritance they feel that they deserve, considering the fact that they have six children. As a competitive tactic against the beautiful Margaret, wife of Big Daddy�s son, Brick, Mae snobbishly points out that they have no children, as Brick refuses to sleep with Margaret. They also exploit Brick's alcoholism as an argument to why they deserve Big Daddy�s money, heaven forbid he should die of cancer.
