Miss Saigon

Chapter 4

When everyone was toasting a guy who wasn't invited came in.

[THUY]
you're here, at last
I've come to take you home
all night, I ran
I made it through the line
Kim, tell your friends, it's time to go away
this life, it ends
you're safe with me

[CHRIS]
this girl is mine!

[THUY]
yours?

[CHRIS]
now

[THUY]
you?

[TOGETHER]
who are you?

[KIM]
stop!

[THUY]
who is this man? this American man?
do none of you see what's ahead
have you gone mad?
these are losers and whores
who will soon all be gone or be dead

[CHRIS]
get out of here

[KIM]
you have no right to be here
I'm not a prize you can claim
we were promised at thirteen
the woman I am now is not the same

[THUY]
our parents bound us together, and that is our fate
you knew I'd come back to get you
why didn't you wait?

[KIM]
my parents got themselves killed in the week you changed sides
if there were promises all of them died when they died

Chris and Thuy pull guns. The girls scream.
Gigi and the Girls leave quickly.

[THUY]
Kim, leave this man behind

[KIM]
go on!
and shoot!
I will not change my mind!

[THUY]
you are still mine!

[KIM]
not anymore!

[THUY]
you're mine until we die!
Saigon
is doomed
and so is your GI

[CHRIS]
get the hell out!

[THUY]
you broke your father's word
this is your curse!

Thuy runs out. Chris runs out after him but he's gone.

[CHRIS]
what a party that was!

[KIM]
you're going to leave me now

Kim looks sad.

[CHRIS]
yes, I'm going to leave
and take you out with me

They kiss and hug eachother. Kim is so happy.

[CHRIS]
In a place that won't let us feel
In a life where nothing seems real
I have found you
I have found you

[KIM]
In a world that's moving to fast
In a world where nothing can last
I will hold you
I will hold you

[CHRIS]
Our lives will change when tomorrow comes

[KIM]
Tonight our hearts drown the distant drums

[CHRIS]
And we have music alright
tearing the night

[CHRIS AND KIM]
A song
played on a solo saxophone
a crazy sound
a lonely sound
a cry that tells us love goes on and on
played on a solo saxophone
Its telling me to hold you tight
and dance like its the last night of the world

[CHRIS]
On the otherside of the the earth
there's a place where life still has worth
I will take you

[KIM]
I'll go with you

[CHRIS]
You wont believe all the things you'll see
I know cause you'll see them all with me

[CHRIS AND KIM]
If we're together that's when
We'll here it again
A song
played on a solo saxophone
a crazy sound
a lonely sound
a cry that tells us love goes on and on
played on a solo saxophone
Its telling me to hold you tight
and dance like its the last night of the world

[KIM]
Dreams were all I ever knew

[CHRIS]
Dreams, you wont need when I'm through

[CHRIS AND KIM]
Anywere
we may be
I will sing with you, a song...
So stay with me and hold me tight
and dance like its the last night of the world

They kiss eachother and the years flow by. Chris is back in America and has a new wife. Kim is left alone in the Vietnam war..

1978

Kim dreamed every night about Chris. She hoped that he came back. She stayed in a dirty old room while Chris had a great house in Georgia.

[KIM]
Last night I watched him sleeping,
my body pressed to him.
And then he started speaking.
The name I heard him speak was Kim...
Yes, I know that this was years ago,
but when moonlight fills my room I know
you are here, still.

I still-
I still believe
you will return.
I know you will.
My heart against all odds
holds still.

Yes, still,
I still believe.
I know as long as I can keep believing,
I'll live.
I'll live,
love cannot die.
You will return, you will return,
and I alone know why...

Ellen (The new wife of Chris) lays next to Chris.

[ELLEN]
Last night I watched you sleeping.
Once more the nightmare came.
I heard you cry out something,
a word that sounded like a name.
And it hurts me more than I can bear
knowing part of you I'll never share,
never know.

But still-
I still believe
the time will come
when nothing keeps us apart.
My heart forever more holds still.

Chris screamed Kim her name in his sleep. He gets up.

[ELLEN]
It's all over I'm here,
there is nothing to fear!
Chris, what's haunting you?
Won't you let me inside
what you so want to hide.
I need you too!

[KIM AND ELLEN]
For still-
I will hold you all night
I will make it all right!
I still believe , you are safe with me!
As long as I , But I wish you would tell
what you don't want to tell,
can keep believing
I'll live! what you hell must be
I'll live,
You can sleep now.
you will return.
You can cry now.
And I know why , I'm your wife now
I'm yours for life
Untill we die.
