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 there are some things that you left out all right she wants her husband to go to her place tonight CHRIS that's not how things were, I just promised her JOHN it's the same to her ELLEN don't explain there's nothing you can say it's like she went insane she tried to give away her own child JOHN she wants her 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 from you 'course it 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, I'm with you oh Ellen, I should have told you we'll get through this, we'll will you ever trust me again? [pull through all I want all I have in my life in my life now is you is you (CHRIS and ELLEN decide, against JOHN'S advice, to go to KIM'S club to convince her that their only possible choice is to support her and TAM in Bangkok. KIM has returned to the Club and lies to the ENGINEER, telling him that CHRIS is overjoyed and will arrive later that evening to take them all to America.) |
