INT. JACKSON HOUSEHOLD - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT (1968) The room is tight and loud. Instruments crowd the floor. The brothers stand ready with their instruments. We are just kids out of Gary, Indiana. People look at us and see the Jackson 5, but behind the curtain, we are actually a family of ten siblings. All born to our parents, Katherine and Joseph Jackson. We have Jackie, our oldest brother. Tito is on rhythm guitar. Jermaine is on bass and second lead. Marlon is the dancer who never stops. Little Michael is only nine, but is still our star. Off-stage, we still have our sisters Rebbie, La Toya, and Janet, and our youngest brother, Randy. The front door slams open. JOSEPH JACKSON steps inside. The room goes dead quiet. JOSEPH: From the top! If anyone misses a step, we stay up until sunrise. michael, in the center. Count it out!
