MICHAEL: (notices something) Um, sweetie?
RACHAEL: Hold on honey, I'm on the phone. (to Prince) Ok, what have you got in mind for this tour?
PRINCE: (on the phone) We keep it in the US, and do a 17 song set. You start January 2nd.
RACHAEL: Kinda short notice, don't you think?
PRINCE: (on the phone) That's just how I roll, so make sure your voice is ready, cuz this tour is gonna last til June.

RACHAEL: Wait, Prince! (sighs) Asshole... (turns to Michael) I'm sorry hun, were you trying to tell me something?
MICHAEL: Yeah. Um, there's a bow stuck to your butt.
RACHAEL: (turns bright red) (turns around and tears it off before slumping down on the couch next to him)
MICHAEL: Is everything okay?
RACHAEL: (sighs) Apparently my tour starts on the second.
MICHAEL: Why so soon?
RACHAEL: Do I look like a mind reader? Who knows what goes on inside his brilliant purple brain.
MICHAEL: (grips her hand gently) Look at the bright side honey, me and Prince Jr. will be with you the whole time.
RACHAEL: That's true, but honey, what about your album?
MICHAEL: I can bring a tape recorder on the road. Don't worry, everything will work out fine.
RACHAEL: I guess you're right...
