ELLEN Kim was here the one who had to tell her was me JOHN oh, my God, it's my fault CHRIS I knew we were gone too long! ELLEN no, I think it's exactly what I had to see you said you lived with her, that's all you were only one thing you left out is that you loved her CHRIS it was just two weeks, that was years ago JOHN nothing's changed for her ELLEN don't explain there's nothing you can say it's like she's gone insane she tried to give away her own child JOHN she wants your son to be an American boy ELLEN don't you see, she still thinks she's married to you you must tell her she's not, she must hear it and soon 'course that only depends if it's true CHRIS please don't doubt me Ellen: you're my wife lots of guys came back and had no life I had you ELLEN you can say what you want but she's borne you a son in your nightmares the name that you shouted was hers you've been with me two years and not shared things you've done don't hold back let me see is it her now or me? CHRIS let me tell you the way it was back when I was a different man back when I didn't have a clue who I am the feelings locked behind a dam that kept me there in Vietnam there in the shambles of a war I found what I was looking for Saigon was crazed, but she was real and for one moment, I could feel I saw a world I never knew and through her eyes I suffered too in spite of all the things that were I started to believe in her so I wanted to save her, protect her Christ, I'm American, how could I fail to do good? all I made was a mess, just like everyone else in a place full of mystery that I never once understood! I wanted back a world I knew the story of my life began again with you ELLEN CHRIS it's all right now, that's all through oh Ellen, I should have told you we'll get past this, start anew will you ever trust me again? all I want all I have in my life in my life now is you is you JOHN now listen guys it's not so easy there is this kid who looks just like you hey, I think it's great you have each other but he exists you have to face it I run a camp that is filled with bui-doi looking for the fathers that they may never find you don't have a complicated choice with this boy do you want to take him out or leave him behind? CHRIS he's my son I won't abandon him except that, Jesus Christ, John there is also Kim what of her? ELLEN if it was only Tam I'd take him now he is your son we'd make it work somehow but Chris, she still loves you how can I have her near? CHRIS there's no choice I think the answer's clear they'll have to stay in Bangkok we'll support them here ELLEN JOHN I think this is the answer Listen, you didn't see what's in that girl's head CHRIS AND ELLEN for now this is the answer I hope you are both proud of what you've just said ELLEN it's done CHRIS it's done CHRIS AND ELLEN it's planned the girl is smart she'll understand KIM (walking around the streets of Bangkok) you must take Tam with you CHRIS AND ELLEN in Bangkok, he will go to American schools KIM I won't break my promise to my son CHRIS AND ELLEN they will start a new life KIM you will take Tam with you CHRIS AND ELLEN we'll provide for their needs JOHN you are talking like fools! KIM you won't forget Tam is a part of you CHRIS, ELLEN, JOHN we will (you should) do what is right right for him right for us right for Kim KIM I still taste your kisses your voice sings in my ear you can betray what we were yesterday but you'll come back tonight for him (KIM returns to the bar. THE ENGINEER comes out with TAM.) ENGINEER come on, come on, your recitation describe your reconciliation I hope before his stimulation he bought our little group vacation KIM in all his dreams he saw our baby and he's teaching him to fly paper dragons in the sky ENGINEER yes, papers, what's the situation? we'll need our cards for immigration no tricks, I've got my reputation don't want no phony complications KIM no, no he's coming to us tonight pack your things get yourself arranged while I change for my last performance ENGINEER me, Chris and you what a menage!
