Miss Saigon Miss Saigon - Saigon, April 1975 The Heat Is On In Saigon ("Dreamland" is a club filled with American Marines, civilians and south Vietnamese officers. The girls parade around and get the crowd to buy raffle tickets: the winner of the "beauty contest" will be the prize.) AMERICANS the heat is on in Saigon the girls are hotter 'n' hell one of these slits here will be Miss Saigon God, the tension is high, not to mention the smell the heat is on in Saigon ESTEVEZ (A MARINE) is there a war going on? AMERICANS don't ask, I ain't gonna tell (two friends, CHRIS and JOHN, are among the Marines. JOHN is with one of the girls) CHRIS how are you doing there, John?

When KIM is judged, CHRIS claps loudly, which makes her notice him.) ENGINEER Yvonne, Yvette, Mimi, Kim, Gigi (GIGI wins) ENGINEER attention, s'il vous plait! by popular demand Miss Gigi Van Tranh is elected Miss Saigon!
