(the door opens. A stranger enters.)



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 girl 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!



THUY

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
