00:00This is it, Michael. Are you ready? This is your dream. Are you going to make it, or are you going to fold it?
00:07Oh yeah, I'm ready. I've been stretching out between rehearsals, uh, inventing new dance moves, and...
00:15Oh, oh, you were talking about that. Oh, Michael Jackson also gets stage fright.
00:24Or maybe a different kind of fright, Michael.
00:29What? What does that mean?
00:32Never mind, Michael. I mean, are you really going to pull another Chicago and forget your lines in the midst of the entire show,
00:40and embarrass yourself in front of everyone? Come on, we gotta work on that, Michael.
00:45What? When's the last time I ever did that? I don't even remember Chicago.
00:56I don't even remember Chicago. I don't even know what you're talking about. That was it.
01:12Then sing something, alright? Come on. You've got a diamond voice.
01:18Uh, uh, you really want me to sing, right, pal? Uh, I'm building my voice back for the show, uh, and I'm having these nights.
01:33I'm a little rusty.
01:36You're Michael Jackson, leader of the Jackson 5. What do you mean that you're rusty?
01:42You sound like voices made out of carbon diamonds, alright? Pressure makes diamonds, Michael, alright?
01:49She's not going to care how bad your voice is, alright? She's only going to care that if you sell a show.
01:58What should I sing? What should I sing? Oh.
02:12I gave her money. I gave her time. I gave her everything.
02:20It doesn't seem to matter, and it doesn't seem right.
02:24If the wind is trying to push her still, I cry alone at night.
02:29Don't you judge her, Michael, won't you, cause I'm positive it'd be.
02:33And she didn't need a letter, she just up and ran away.
02:39Your voice is fine. Now go show them what you're made of, Michael.
02:49Hey, Michael. Did anyone say that you look like this, uh, one Hollywood director by the name of, uh, Zen Martin?
02:56Oh, oh, oh, thanks. I like it, it's my new disguise.
03:00Yeah, it's a good disguise, I mean.
03:02No, I mean, no one's going to, no one's going to recognize me if I pass the autograph, pass the autograph.
03:06Yeah, yeah, that's a good disguise, alright?
03:08Now take care. Get in the theater safe.
