LARRY KING: “From Hilversum, Holland. Hello!”
CALLER: “Yes, is it me?”
LARRY KING: “Do you have a question for Michael Jackson, caller?”
CALLER: “Yes. Yes, I do. Hello, Michael.”
MICHAEL JACKSON: “Hello.”
CALLER: “I just want to say that I saw your show last month, during your European tour, and I thought it was fantastic. Just fantastic!”
MICHAEL JACKSON: “Thank you.”
CALLER: “So theatrical. Just wonderful. My wife and I thought it was great.”
MICHAEL JACKSON: “Thank you very much.”
CALLER: “Do you have any plans to get into acting?”
LARRY KING: “Good question. What kind of movie part would a Michael Jackson want to do? Or even, could a Michael Jackson do?”
MICHAEL JACKSON: “What does that mean, Larry?”
LARRY KING: “Well, I mean, you’ve got a . . . unique look.”
MICHAEL JACKSON: “And what does that mean?”
LARRY KING: “I’m just saying that they’re probably not going to put you in the next ‘Bourne Identity’ movie.”
MICHAEL JACKSON: “As a matter of fact, we’re talking to some people right now about doing some theater work. Performing in a play.”
LARRY KING: “Really? Wow.”
MICHAEL JACKSON: “The theater really is my first love, Larry.”
LARRY KING: “What’s the name of the play?”
MICHAEL JACKSON: “‘The Vagina Monologues.’ Have you heard of it?”
LARRY KING: “Umm . . .”
MICHAEL JACKSON: “Obviously we’re adapting it a bit for me.”
LARRY KING: “Well, right. I mean, of course.”
MICHAEL JACKSON: “You know, music. And dance.”
LARRY KING: “What drew you to this particular piece?”
MICHAEL JACKSON: “Are you kidding? Being in a play like that is a surefire way to score with the ladies.”
LARRY KING: “Um . . . okay.”
MICHAEL JACKSON: “And boy do I love the ladies.” . . .
