I'm not here as a friend
 I have a job to do
 it's strange to find my work
 should lead me here to you
 Chris knows all about you
 I have shown him all this
 but I think that it's time
 you know all about Chris

 KIM
 please, don't you see that's all I live for?
 I have him and nothing more
 at night, everything that's not him
 disappears behind my door

 JOHN
 please, he went crazy when he lost you
 spoke to no one for a year
 then he finally said "I'm home now,
 my life has to go on here"

 please, let me finish talking, please
 this was three whole years ago

 KIM
 yes, yes I know
 I know how pain can grow
 when the rock you hold onto
 is a love miles away, listen:

 please, I already know the story
 take us to the U.S.A.

 JOHN
 when we've finished here, you'll see him
 Chris arrived with me today!

 KIM
 oh Tam! He's here!
 he is here, he's so near
 we might breathe the same air tonight!
 your father's here

 KIM
 oh Tam, it's true
 my dream was right
 you'll see him soon!

 JOHN
 I can't tell her like this
 I should not be the one
 Chris must come see his son

 KIM
 please,
 don't you see we've been
 watched over?
 as we crossed
 the wildest seas?
 even god wants us together
 can I end this journey,
 please?

 JOHN
 they don't say
 in the files
 there's a woman in love here
 what sustained her for miles
 Chris still knows nothing of
 can I end this journey
 please?

 (JOHN, unable to tell KIM the truth, returns to the hotel to inform CHRIS and ELLEN of the
 impossible situation. The ENGINEER doesn't trust any of them, least of all an American GI
 who has fathered a bui-doi son, and goes in search of CHRIS'S hotel address so that he can
 send KIM there directly
