MICHAEL: (raises his glass for a toast) Cheers. (both tap their glasses together) (sips it) You look gorgeous in that dress.
RACHAEL: (blushes shyly) Thank you. I'm sure Marilyn wore it better than I ever will.
MICHAEL: Well, Marilyn was beautiful. But she's got nothing on you! (nibbles on her ear)
RACHAEL: Michael, Michael stop it! We're in public!
MICHAEL: (giggles) Ok, ok. (checks his watch) Ooh, we'd better go. It's almost time for the movie based on Mother's book. (both leave)
423: INT. NEVERLAND RANCH (MOVIE THEATER) NIGHT DISSOLVE TO:
Later, Michael and Rachael watch "The Jacksons: An American Dream."
MICHAEL: (sits down with a bucket of popcorn)
RACHAEL: Man, that guy looks a lot like you.
MICHAEL: He does, doesn't he?
RACHAEL: Did your father really cheat on your mother???
MICHAEL: Yes... He's still seeing his mistress. He even has daughter with her.
RACHAEL: What??? Do you guys have any kind of relationship with her?
MICHAEL: No, and we wanna keep it that way. I don't care if she is Joseph's child. She is not one of us.
RACHAEL: (squeezes his hand)
Later...
MICHAEL: (looks down at his watch) Hey, it's midnight. Happy new year. (kisses her passionately)
RACHAEL: Happy new year! (phone rings) Who the heil could that be at this hour? (answers it) Hello?
PRINCE: (on the phone) Hey Rachie.
RACHAEL: Hey Prince, what's up?
PRINCE: (on the phone) Just wanted to let you know that your album has officially dropped.
RACHAEL: Already? Prince, that's amazing!
PRINCE: (on the phone) Yup, happy new year. (hangs up)

NEIL: Fine, just fine. Anyway, these are the songs. Two of these have you singing back up but the rest are duets, including a reworked version of "Laughter In The Rain."
