719: INT. PAISLEY PARK (STUDIO) DAY FADE IN: 

The next day, January 1st, 1996. Rachael is at Paisley Park getting ready to record a new album. 

RACHAEL: (comes in with a huge stack of sheet music)

PRINCE: Hey Rach, what's all this? 

RACHAEL: I was up all night writing songs. 

PRINCE: (starts flipping through them) Wow, you wrote all these? 

RACHAEL: Yup, I was feeling pretty inspired last night. 

PRINCE: Well, this is great. Let's get started. 

RACHAEL: Ok. (goes into the booth) 

PRINCE Alright, let's start with "We've Only Just Begun." (plays the track) 

RACHAEL: (starts singing)
We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
We've only begun
Before the rising sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We'll start out walking and learn to run
And yes, we've just begun
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day, together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes, we've just begun
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day, together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes, we've just begun... (track fades) 

PRINCE: Rach, that was beautiful. You know what? That would be perfect for our wedding. 

RACHAEL: I actually wrote it with you in mind. I'd be happy to do it at your wedding. 

PRINCE: Thanks a lot Rach, that'd be great. 

RACHAEL: You're very welcome! Hey, would you help me out with something on the next song? 

PRINCE: Sure, what do you need? 

RACHAEL: Well, there's a verse in here that was intended for Michael but he couldn't come today, so I thought maybe you'd wanna do it with me. 

PRINCE: Sure. (plays the next track and gets in the booth with her) 

RACHAEL: (starts singing)
Talk about love
How it makes life complete
You can talk all you want
Make it sound good and sweet
But the words have an empty ring
And they don't really mean a thing
Without love you are not to be found
You are not to be found
For love is surrender
You must surrender if you care
You must surrender if you care...
