Jacksons: An American Dream

Joseph Jackson:
Black Beatles, that's what they call 'em! Black Beatles!

Michael Jackson:
Berry once told me a song has to tell a story. I've got a million stories in my head. I'm filled up with music. I just want it to come out.

Katherine Jackson:
And it will, because there's no stopping it.

Jackie:
Hey, man, ask Michael.

Jackie:
You need an appointment to see your own little brother.

Michael Jackson:
We're embarking on this tour for many reasons, but mainly because of our mother. Our father, too, for the dream that they had... an American dream... that started a long, long time ago, when our ancestors came here... slaves... oppressed people... beaten down, beaten up... You know, we've come a long, long way from 2300 Jackson Street, when my brothers and I used to long for a color T.V. We weren't beaten down by poverty, and we're not going to be beaten down by fame, either. 'Cause this is what it's all about. This tour is a celebration. It's a victory.

Joseph Jackson:
You know, Berry Gordy's not gonna be satisfied until he has one of my boys calling him "Daddy".

Katherine Jackson:
She never should've given the microphone to Michael. She may never get it back!

Michael Jackson:
Tell them I liked riding in the ambulance. It was wild with the sirens wailing.

Jackie:
Hey, Jermaine, why don't you help out the brothers? Talk to Berry. He is your father-in-law.

Jermaine:
Look, father-in-law is one thing, group is another. Anyway. we got a winning combination. A seven-year run of hits.

Jermaine:
We'll get it back, man. I'm not running to my father-in-law every time someone's got a complaint. You wanna talk to him, talk to him.

Jackie:
I wanna talk to him, but he ain't gonna wanna listen.

Jermaine Jackson:
They ripped off my medallion!

Jackie:
Hey, I kind of like the whole thing.

Suzanne de Passe:
How about a giant chocolate candy bar? You can eat it on the plane.

Michael Jackson:
No.

Jermaine:
Michael! You never turn down candy.

Michael Jackson:
Please don't make me go on that plane. I'm scared. I don't want to go on anymore planes ever. Ever!

Katherine Jackson:
Joseph, stop it! You could wake the dead! No more beatings, you hear me? No more!

Joseph Jackson:
Michael! Marlon!

Katherine Jackson:
I'VE HAD ENOUGH, JOSEPH! All these years, I've had enough! You cannot do it anymore!

Joseph Jackson:
This is between me and the boys.

Katherine Jackson:
The boys are young men now. They have traveled all over the world. They have millions of fans. What are you going to do- ask them to go out, get a switch, and bring it back here so you can beat them with it? Go to bed, Joseph. Go to bed!
