210: INT. NEVERLAND RANCH (MAIN FOYER) DAY FADE IN:

A few weeks later, July 4th, 1990.

RACHAEL: (carrying a suitcase) Michael, are you almost ready? The jet's waiting to take off.

MICHAEL: (comes down with a suitcase) Yeah, I'm ready.

RACHAEL: Good, let's go.

211: INT. PRIVATE JET DAY CUT TO:

Michael, Rachael and Prince Jr. are off to Plymouth.

RACHAEL: It was really sweet of you to agree to have the barbeque at my parents house this year.

MICHAEL: Of course sweetie, my family doesn't do holidays except for Thanksgiving, so it'd be nice to see how other people celebrate for a change.

RACHAEL: Well, I hope you're hungry. There's gonna be a lot of food!

MICHAEL: (chuckles)

212: INT. MIKE AND HOPE'S HOUSE (LIVING ROOM) DAY FADE IN:

Michael and Rachael arrive for the barbeque.

RACHAEL: (comes in with Michael and Prince Jr.) Hey guys! (hugs them both tightly)

HOPE: Hi baby! (kisses her cheek) I hope you guys are hungry! There's plenty of food out back!

RACHAEL: Great! Come on honey! (leads them out back)

213: EXT. MIKE AND HOPE'S HOUSE (BACKYARD) DAY CUT TO: 

RACHAEL: (makes herself a plate) (they all sit down and start eating) (turns Michael) Sweetie, I know you probably didn't plan on singing tonight, but I was wondering if later on when we do the fireworks you could sing a few songs.

MICHAEL: Well, I guess I could do one of my older ones, and maybe one from the upcoming album.

RACHAEL: That's a great idea!

MICHAEL: But you have to sing one of your songs too! (smirks)

RACHAEL: (smiles) Fair enough!

Later...

HOPE: All right guys we're about to start the fireworks. Michael, if you wanna start singing you can.

MICHAEL: Thank you Hope. (goes up to the microphone) Rachael's asked me to do a few songs so I'm gonna do two from Off The Wall and one from my upcoming Dangerous album. (starts singing)
When the world is on your shoulder
Gotta straighten up your act and boogie down
If you can't hang with the feelin'
Then there ain't no room for you this part of town
'Cause we're the party people night and day
Livin' crazy that's the only way
So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain't so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain't so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)
You can shout out all you want to
'Cause there ain't no sin in folks all getting loud If you take the chance and do it
There there ain't no one who's gonna put you down
'Cause we're the party people night and day
Livin' crazy that's the only way So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain't so bad at all
If you live it off the wall Life ain't so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)
Do what you want to do
There ain't no rules it's up to you (ain't no rules it's all up to you)
It's time to come alive
And party on right through the night (all right)
Gotta hide your inhibitions
Gotta let that fool loose deep inside your soul
Want to see an exhibition
Better do it now before you get too old
'Cause we're the party people night and day
Livin' crazy that's the only way
So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Groove, let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain't so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
Life ain't so bad at all (live life off the wall)
Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall)
So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Come on and groove (yeah) and let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain't so bad at all
If you live it off the wall
So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
And just enjoy yourself
Come on and groove (yeah) and let the madness in the music get to you
Life ain't so bad at all
If you live it off the wall...
