473: INT. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN NIGHT FADE IN:

The next night, Rachael performs with Neil.

NEIL: Thank you very, very much. At this time, I'd like to welcome a dear friend of mine, Mrs. Rachael Jackson!

RACHAEL: (comes out and waves to the crowd before kissing him on the cheek)

NEIL: What shall we start with?

RACHAEL: I think we should start with a Sedaka classic. Let's do "Laughter In The Rain."

NEIL: Wonderful! (starts playing)


RACHAEL: (starts singing) Strolling along country roads with my baby, it starts to rain, it begins to pour. Without an umbrella we're soaked to the skin. I feel a shiver run up my spine. I feel the warmth of his hand in mine... (both) Ooh! I hear laughter in the rain, walking hand in hand with the one I love. Ooh! How I love the rainy days and the happy way I feel inside... 

NEIL: After awhile we run under a tree, I turn to her and she kisses me. There with the beat of the rain on the leaves, softly she breathes and I close my eyes... 

RACHAEL: Sharing our love under stormy skies... 

NEIL: (both) Ooh! I hear laughter in the rain, walking hand in hand with the one I love! Ooh, how I love the rainy days and the happy way I feel inside... 

RACHAEL: Whoa... After awhile we run under a tree. I turn to him and he kisses me...

NEIL: There with the beat of the rain on the leaves, softly she breathes and I close my eyes... 

RACHAEL: Sharing our love under stormy skies... (both) Ooh! I hear laughter in the rain, walking hand in hand with the one I love, ooh! How I love the rainy days and the happy way I feel inside... Ooh, I hear laughter in the rain, walking hand in hand with the one I love, ooh! How I love the rainy days and the happy way I feel inside...

CROWD: (cheers)

NEIL: Marvelous! Now let's do "You're So Good For Me." (starts playing) (starts singing)
Today I opened up my eyes
And reached to touch your face
But found that you were gone
Now the tears begin to show
And now I think I know what love can do... 

RACHAEL: (both)
Now I realize that
Baby, you're so good for me
Don't care what other people say
They say that I could lose my heart
I don't care
I don't care
Feels so good to have you lay down by my side
And baby, it's so clear to see
That you're so good for me... 

NEIL: Oh yes, it was a San Francisco night
The moments that we shared
Will haunt me constantly
Oh, was this for real or just a dream
I guess that love is never what it seems to be... 

RACHAEL: (both) Now I realize that
Baby, you're so good for me
Don't care what other people say
They say that I could lose my heart
I don't care
I don't care
Feels so good to have you lay down by my side
And baby, it's so clear to see
That you're so good for me... 

NEIL: Now I realize that
Baby, you're so good for me
Don't care what other people say
They say that I could lose my heart
I don't care
I don't care
Feels so good to have you lay down by my side
And baby it's so clear to see
That you're so good for me
You're so good for me
You're so good for me
You're so good for me, baby...
