Fictional Biography
Curtis Payne has revealed small details of his past, however many descriptions of his life are given in a comical sense and may or may not be true about him. Payne reveals in a discussion where he criticizes his nephews and nieces for what he considered laziness that as a young child he built a river with his bare hands. Ella Payne (Curtis' wife) mentions when an expert is brought in to discover why Curtis and Ella are having problems engaging in intercourse that she first met Curtis in a park when he approached her with a six pack of beer. The series begins when his niece-in-law Janine smokes cocaine and burns down her and her husband C.J. (Curtis' nephew)'s house. The couple and their two children, Malik and Jazmine (his great-nephew and niece) are forced to live with Curtis and Ella, which changes Curtis's routine despite his reluctance to accept. Throughout the series, Curtis - despite his dislike of the situation his nephew is in — has shown an interest in (what he considers) properly raising the Payne children often going to great feats to discipline them, such as prosecuting his nephew Malik when he and a friend takes his uncle's new motorcycle out for a joyride.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional and/or biography:
“It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conformity with the opinion which he has given, that every man’s life may be best written by himself; had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have had the most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited.”
—James Boswell (1740–95)
