Kim bursts into the Engineer's shack, carrying Tam.
[KIM]
Engineer!
Thuy is dead!
he was going to kill my baby and I shot
[ENGINEER]
you did what?
who is that?
you'll be followed! Get him out of here! Good-bye!
[KIM]
we must leave!
Tam and I!
we must set off for America tonight
[ENGINEER]
oh right!
just like that!
tell me how, and while you're at it, tell me why
[KIM]
I hear the voice of my soldier
telling me to bring... his son
[ENGINEER]
you're telling me this half-breed brat
is born the son of a marine?
let me see his western nose
this bastard is... the most beautiful sight I've ever seen!
a passport in my hand
my new life can begin
your brat's American
so they must let us in!
in!
the playground of mankind!
the movie in my mind!
I'm your dear brother from now on
and all our family is gone
boy, kiss your brand-new uncle Tran
Tam looked with a dirty face at the Engineer.
this kid is okay
he is our entree
to the U.S.A.
with these two little diamonds to bait my hooks
I'll book us on a cruise "boat-people" deluxe
don't worry 'bout the sharks out in the Mekong bay
the pirates taking us are more scary any day
you just stay here and hide
don't show your face outside
take care of our little dear
I will go "engineer"
He runs out.
Kim gave Tam some papers and pencils to draw.
Tam layed on the ground while Kim was looking at him.
[KIM]
You who I craddled in my arms.
You,
Asking as little as you can.
Little snip of a little man,
I know I'd give my life for you.
You didn't ask me to be born
You,
Why should you learn of war or pain?
To be sure you're not hurt again,
I swear I'd give my life for you.
I've tasted love beyond all fear.
And you should know it's love that brought you here.
And in one perfect night,
When the stars burned like new,
I knew what I must do.
I'll give you a million things I'll never own.
I'll give you a world to conquer when you're grown.
You will be who you want to be.
You
Can choose whatever heaven grants.
As long as you can have your chance,
I swear I'd give my life for you.
Sometimes I wake up, reaching for him.
I feel his shadow brush my head,
But there's just moonlight on my bed.
Was he a ghost?
Was he a lie,
That made my body laugh and cry?
Then by my side the proof I see, his little one.
Gods of the sun,
Bring him to me.
You will be who you want to be.
You
Can choose whatever heaven grants.
As long as you can have your chance,
I swear I'd give my life for you.
No one can stop what I must do.
I swear I'd give my life for you
Kim hugged Tam tight. They walked to a ship. Hoping for a better life.
