KIM wakens. CHRIS hands her the money he had left.)



CHRIS

this money's yours

please take it all

hey, you want more?



KIM

no, no, I don't want anything



CHRIS

hey, what's wrong with you?



KIM

I've not done this before



CHRIS

sure!

that can't be true!



KIM

why would I lie?



CHRIS

look, everyone lies

they just want to get out of here

okay! You're not like that

but I don't know who you are



KIM

do you want one more tale of a Vietnam girl?

want to know I was bound to a man I don't love?

do you want to be told how my village was burned?

want to hear how my family was blasted away?

how I ran from the rice field and saw them in flames?

how my parents were bodies whose faces were gone?



I have had my fill of pain

I will not look back again

I would rather die



(she starts to cry)



CHRIS

can I see you tonight?



KIM

well, I'll be at the club

selling "beaucoup amour"



CHRIS

no! no, you won't



how would you like..



KIM

how would I like...?



CHRIS

how would you like

living with me?

you feel good right here

so that's where you should be



so would you like?



KIM

yes, I would like!



CHRIS

okay, it's set

you're staying near

screw the Engineer

you're the only thing

that I've cared for here
