845: INT. NEVERLAND RANCH (LIVING ROOM) NIGHT FADE IN:
One week later. New years eve, 1996.
RACHAEL: (to herself) "The day after Christmas, Michael was back on the road. The house was lonely without him, but I planned to return to the tour sometime in the new year." (phone rings) (answers it) Hello?
PRINCE: (on the phone) Hi Rach.
RACHAEL: Oh, hey Prince. How you doing?
PRINCE: (on the phone) Okay. You got plans tonight?
RACHAEL: No, not really. Michael went back on the road, so it's just me and the kids this year.
PRINCE: (on the phone) You wanna come by and cut some tracks? Mayte is with her mother so I'm alone here.
RACHAEL: I would but I don't know how good I'd sound. I woke up with a little cold this morning.
PRINCE: (on the phone) Come on Rach, please? I'm lonely.
RACHAEL: Ok, I'll be there in an hour. (hangs up and turns to Latoya) Toy, can you watch the kids? Prince asked me to come over and cut a few tracks.
LATOYA: Sure but I thought you wanted to take it easy tonight because you're sick.
RACHAEL: I did but he's all alone there, I feel bad. I shouldn't be home too late. (leaves)
846: INT. PAISLEY PARK (STUDIO) DAY
Later, Rachael goes to Paisley to cut a few tracks with Prince.
RACHAEL: (comes in)
PRINCE: Hey Rach.
RACHAEL: Hey. (hugs him tightly)
PRINCE: Sorry for dragging you out here. With Mayte gone it gets lonely.
RACHAEL: No, it's okay. I understand. When will she be back?
PRINCE: Tomorrow night.
RACHAEL: Good.
PRINCE: So, you up for recording?
RACHAEL: I guess so. I really don't know how good I'll sound though.
PRINCE: Well, let's try a few songs and see how you do, then after we're done we can watch a movie or something.
RACHAEL: Ok. (goes into the booth)
PRINCE: Let's start with Ticket to Ride. I gotta tell you Rach, I was really surprised when you told me you wanted to record a Beatles song.
RACHAEL: Well, I thought it would suit me.
PRINCE: (nods and plays the track)
