RACHAEL: Are you okay? You seem a little nervous.

MICHAEL: I'm fine, I'm just a little worried because I don't know if Randy's gonna be there, I don't want him to make a scene in front of the kids.

RACHAEL: Want me to call your mother and find out?

MICHAEL: (Shakes his head) No, let's just go. We're gonna be late.

Meanwhile, Michael makes small talk with Joseph.

MICHAEL: (Shakes Joseph's hand) Hello Joseph.

JOSEPH: I heard about that big tour of yours.

MICHAEL: Yes, it's supposed to start in July.

JOSEPH: That's great. You know, I was thinking, this could be a really good opportunity to get you and your brothers back together again.

MICHAEL: Joseph, this is supposed to be my comeback.

JOSEPH: I know Mike, but this is also supposed to be your last tour, right? What better way to end it than with a Jackson 5 reunion?

Before Michael could say anything, Jermaine called out to him.
