892: INT. NEVERLAND RANCH (LIVING ROOM) DAY FADE IN:
One month later. December 23rd, 1997.
RACHAEL: (phone rings) (answers it) Hello?
PRINCE: (on the phone) Hi Rach.
RACHAEL: Prince... Hi. (to herself) "Prince and I hadn't spoken since that day I went to the hospital with Mayte."
PRINCE: (on the phone) How are you?
RACHAEL: I'm good. And you?
PRINCE: (on the phone) I'm alright. Listen, can you come by? There's something I wanna talk to you about.
RACHAEL: Oh... Um, sure. I'll be there in a half hour.
PRINCE: (on the phone) Alright, see you soon. (hangs up)
RACHAEL: (calls out to Michael) Honey, I'm going to Prince's. I'll be back later. (leaves)
893: INT. PAISLEY PARK (STUDIO) DAY
RACHAEL: (walks in) (to herself) "When I walked in, Prince was sitting in a chair at his mixing board with his back to me. I could hear parts of a song he was working on."
"Walking up the stairs
Just the afternoon
Sweet wind blew
Not a moment too soon
(Hoo) I cried when I realized
That sweet wind was you
Spirits come and spirits go
Some stick around for the after show
Don't have to say I miss you (don't have to say I miss you)
Cause I think you already know
If you ever lose someone
Dear to you
Never say the words they're gone
They'll come back, yeah
They'll come back, yeah yeah
They'll come back
Tears go here
Tears go here
Tears go here
Tears go here"
PRINCE: (turns to her) Hi.
RACHAEL: Hi... That's a beautiful song.
PRINCE: Thanks... I wrote it for Amiir.
RACHAEL: (frowns softly) Listen, I'm really sorry about what I said. I didn't mean it, I was just sticking up for Mayte, I didn't like the way you were treating her.
PRINCE: It's okay... As you know, Mayte has been having some problems... I don't know if we'll ever be able to have a healthy baby of our own... So I was wondering if... You'd be a surrogate for us.
RACHAEL: Me? Gee, I don't know. I'm flattered, really, but it's a big decision.
PRINCE: Rach, please. Please do this for us... For me.
RACHAEL: Does Mayte know about this?
PRINCE: Oh sure, she knows.
