MJ: I’ve met a lot of people in my life and very few are real, real, real friends. You could probably count them on one hand. And Elizabeth is one of the most loyal, loving, caring people that I know.
(Clip of the Neverland gardens and house plays to Christmas music)
MJ: She decided to transform Neverland into its first Christmas because I, I don’t celebrate Christmas.
Elizabeth: It is 1993 and this will be Michael Jackson’s very first Christmas. It has taken me, I would think, about five years of talking him into celebrating Christmas at Neverland because I understood that if you were raised a Jehovah’s Witness, they don’t celebrate Christmas.
(Scene of Elizabeth decorating the house)
Elizabeth: When he quit being a Jehovah’s Witness, I said to Michael, I think Christmas is a wonderful way of celebrating love. It’s a celebration of love. And I can’t see Christmas without Michael and Michael without Christmas.
(to cameraman) Its pretty isn’t it?
MJ: I had no idea she was planning this. This was, er, a real surprise.
Elizabeth: (approaching room) Michael?
MJ: That’s my bedroom that she’s coming to now.
Elizabeth: Michael? It’s the spirit of Christmas, come to haunt you!
MJ: I’m not usually awake up.
Elizabeth: Michael?
(Door opens)
Elizabeth: …by the sight of my little dog.
MJ: She know I don’t like that dog cos, because I’m afraid of dogs. They’re little, but they bite.
Elizabeth: Morning, sweetie (kissing him). Come on. Welcome to your first Christmas.
(Elizabeth walks Michael out into the room)
Michael: (gasps) Oh my God. Its incredible heh… (laughs). I can’t believe this hahaha… (laughing). This is the first time!
Elizabeth: I know!
MJ: Heh… (laughs), she decorated the entire house.
(Michael looks at the room and touches the tree, approaching the presents)
Elizabeth: That’s yours!
Michael: Santa came?
Elizabeth: Santa from Bel Air! (cackles).
Michael: Santa from Bel Air! Heh… (laughs). Can I open it?
Elizabeth: Sure!
MJ: At the same time, it was exciting, I felt guilty too at the same time. I remember going to the bathroom crying, later…
(Michael touches the presents and looks at the small dog)
MJ: …because I felt I’d done something wrong, cos I was raised not to ever celebrate it.
(Michael opens a present, which turns out to be a red sweater)
Michael: Oooh! I love it!
Cameraman: Are you gonna put it on?
Michael: Yes! I’m putting it on right now! (pulling it on).
Elizabeth: (to cameraman) Are you realizing you’re photographing me without any makeup on? (smiles).
Michael: (opening present) Love it! Supersoaker! (holds it up, making a fist at the camera). Now I know how to wake up Elizabeth tomorrow!
Elizabeth: How?
(Michael and the cameraman start laughing)
Elizabeth: Oh! God!
Michael: You’re gonna like it, don’t worry!
Elizabeth: You’re gonna shoot me!
Michael: (opening another present) This is a supersoaker. I can feel it and tell! Hahaha! (laughs).
Elizabeth: You!
(Both laugh madly, while Elizabeth starts playfully hitting Michael)
Michael: (laughing) Ouch! Ouch! Hahaha!
(Michael stands up and Elizabeth grabs a present off him)
Elizabeth: I want a squirt gun! I want a squirt machine gun!
Michael: (taking present back) She’s snatching presents!
(to Elizabeth) May I have this one? It’s for you, but can I have it?
Elizabeth: (smiling) Yes.
Michael: Thank you.
Elizabeth: What it is?
Michael: It’s a water gun (laughing).
Elizabeth: What?
Michael: A water gun!
Cameraman: How do you know it’s a water gun?
Michael: Cos I see it… (laughing) right… (points to top of box).
Elizabeth: Oh!
Michael: (laughing) Water gun!
Elizabeth: That’s not fair!
Michael: This is a supersoaker! (holds up another present).
Cameraman: Thank you.
Michael: Thank you! You’re too kind! (laughs).
(Elizabeth opens a present)
Elizabeth: Hahhhhhhhhh! (screaming madly).
Michael: Ohhhhhhh! (laughing). Look at her!
Elizabeth: Supersoaker! Yeah!
