615: INT. MICHAEL & RACHAEL'S HOUSE (HOLMBY HILLS, LIVING ROOM) DAY FADE IN:

One month later, June 4th, 2009. Michael is getting ready for another day of rehearsals.

RACHAEL: (Yells up to Michael) Michael! Are you almost ready honey?!

MICHAEL: I'll be right down.

RACHAEL: (Phone rings, answers it) Hello?

PRINCE: (On the phone) Hey Rach.

RACHAEL: Prince? Hey, what's up?

PRINCE: (On the phone) What are you doing today?

RACHAEL: I'm going to rehearsals with Michael, why?

PRINCE: (On the phone) I'm in the studio. I thought maybe we could work some tracks. It's been awhile since you've recorded anything.

RACHAEL: Well, I'd like to, but we gotta be at rehearsals in 30 minutes.

PRINCE: (On the phone) Are you and Mike doing any duets today?

RACHAEL: No, but I think we're rehearsing the routine for "The Way You Make Me Feel" again.

PRINCE: (On the phone) Come on, can't Mike get one of the backup dancers or something?

RACHAEL: I guess he could, but I don't feel right missing rehearsal.

PRINCE: (On the phone) Oh come on Rach, I mean, you can get away with one day, can't you? You've been at every rehearsal so far, right?

RACHAEL: Yeah, I guess you've got a point. I'll talk to Michael and let you know.

PRINCE: (On the phone) Alright, bye Rach. (hangs up)

MICHAEL: (Comes downstairs) Who was that on the phone sweetheart?

RACHAEL: That was Prince, he wanted me to come over and work on some songs with him.

MICHAEL: What did you say?

RACHAEL: I told him we had rehearsals today.

MICHAEL: Rachael, I don't mind if you wanna go record.

RACHAEL: Are you sure? I don't wanna miss rehearsal.

MICHAEL: Of course, we're just going over the same songs as last week, and you're not singing today anyway. I don't mind if you skip today.

RACHAEL: Well... Alright. Call me if you need me though, ok?

MICHAEL: (Kisses her forehead) Of course I will, but I'll be fine.

RACHAEL: I love you honey.

MICHAEL: I love you more.

They leave.

RACHAEL: (comes in)

PRINCE: There she is. (hugs her) How you doing Rach?

RACHAEL: I'm good.

PRINCE: It's good to see you, I've missed ya.

RACHAEL: (Smiles softly) I've missed you too.

PRINCE: So, you ready to get started?

RACHAEL: Yes, what song are we doing first?
