128: INT. TD GARDEN (BACKSTAGE AREA) NIGHT CUT TO:

MICHAEL: (hands her a bottle of water) Hey sweetie, you're doing great out there! They love you.

RACHAEL: (sips it) Thanks honey.

MICHAEL: You okay sweetie? You sound a little hoarse.

RACHAEL: I'll be fine, but I wish Prince would let me do more ballads, if I keep this up it's gonna wear me out.

MICHAEL: You want me to get him?

RACHAEL: No, I'll be okay.

MICHAEL: Ok. (kisses her) Just don't work yourself too hard.

RACHAEL: (chuckles) I'll see you after. (walks out)

129: INT. TD GARDEN NIGHT CUT TO:

The show continues.

RACHAEL: All right, as Prince would say, let's get this place pumping!

CROWD: (cheers)

RACHAEL: (the song starts) (starts singing)
To my young and foolish heart
Loving has no end
Sometimes people grow apart
That's why I am wondering
Ooh, are you my baby
Or are we just friends? Oh, you make me crazy
Baby, baby, won't you be my man?
I've had dreams, I know won't come true
From them I have grown
But honey, if I can't have you
I've just got to know that's why I'm asking
Ooh, are you my baby
Or are we just friends?
Oh, you make me crazy
Baby, baby, won't you be my man?
I've had lovers in the past but it always ends
A love like ours would surely last
Because you are my friend
It's a crazy thing but of you I sing
I won't be alone 'cause you are my home
You are my lucky card 'cause in your love I start
You're my only heart
Can't you feel it's crazy beating?
Ooh, are you my baby
Or are we just friends?
Oh, you make me crazy
Baby, baby, won't you be my man?

CROWD: (cheers)

RACHAEL: (starts singing)
You're close enough
To touch again
Where you should be
I'd love to think what your smile is leading to
I feel your eyes, starting a fire all over me
Oh baby you know,
I know what your arms can do (Say that you remember when)
Remember whe lovin' took all night
Remember the feelin' of doing it right
(Feeling right, my love)
It's been so wrong
(It's been so wrong baby)
You've been gone too long
Now it's gonna be all right
We'll take all night again tonight
And I think you know that missing you
Took all my time
Loneliness never ran so deep till then
Now here we are
Lost in a feelin' of feelin' good
Baby you know, I'll love you again and again
(Say that you remember when)
Remember when lovin' took all night
Remember the feelin' of doing it right
(Feeling right, my love)
It's been so wrong
(It's been so wrong baby)
You've been gone too long
Now it's gonna be all right
We'll take all night again tonight!

CROWD: (crowd cheers)

RACHAEL: (to herself) "By the end of the song, my voice was really beginning fade, but I knew these people paid good money to see me, as reluctant as I was, I decided to do Cherry Bomb." (clears her throat) All right, I've saved the best for last and I'm sure you'll all know it. But um, my voice is a little worn out now so if I start to lose it just feel free to join in. Ok, you ready?

CROWD: (screams) YESSSSS!!!!

RACHAEL: Here we go! (starts singing)
Can't stay at home, can't stay at school.
Old folks say, "ya poor little fool."
Down the street I'm the girl next door,
I'M THE FOX WORTH WAITING FOR!
HELLO DADDY! HELLO MOM!
I'M YOUR CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH... (gives the mic to the crowd)

CROWD: CHERRY BOMB!

RACHAEL: HELLO WORLD! I'M YOUR WILD GIRL! I'M YOUR CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH...

CROWD: CHERRY BOMB!

RACHAEL: Stone age love and strange sounds too, come on baby, let me get into you.
Bad nights causing teenage blues...

CROWD: GET DOWN LADIES YOU'VE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE!

RACHAEL: HELLO DADDY! HELLO MOM! I'M YOUR CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CHERRY BOMB! HELLO WORLD! I'M YOUR WILD GIRL! I'M YOUR CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH...

CROWD: CHERRY BOMB!

RACHAEL: Hey street boy, want some style?
Your dead-end dreams don't make you smile.
I'll give you something to live for...

CROWD: HAVE YA, GRAB YA TIL YOU'RE SORE!

RACHAEL: HELLO DADDY! HELLO MOM! I'M YOUR CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CHERRY BOMB! HELLO WORLD! I'M YOUR WILD GIRL! I'M YOUR CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CHERRY BOMB! (starts moaning sexually) HELLO DADDY! HELLO MOM! I'M YOUR CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CHERRY BOMB! HELLO WORLD! I'M YOUR WILD GIRL! I'M YOUR CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CHERRY BOMB!
CHERRY BOMB!
