[CHRIS]
We could not find her anywhere
Honey, what's wrong?
[ELLEN]
Kim was here
The one who had to tell her was me
[CHRIS]
Oh my God, I knew we were gone too long
[ELLEN]
No, I think it's exactly what I had to see
You said you slept with her
That's all you were
Only one thing you left out
Is that you loved her
[CHRIS]
Yes, we were in love
It was years ago
We were torn apart
[ELLEN]
Don't explain
There's nothing you can say
It's like she's gone insane
She tried to give away her own child
[CHRIS, spoken]
Ellen, just listen—
[ELLEN, spoken]
You weren't here
I saw the look in her eyes
[ELLEN]
Don't you see, she thinks she is married to you
[ELLEN & CHRIS, spoken]
You must tell her she's not (What?)
She must hear it from you
Course it only depends if it's true, God
[CHRIS]
Don't you doubt me, Ellen
You're my wife
Lots of guys came back
And had no life
I had you
[CHRIS, spoken]
Hey
[ELLEN]
You can say what you want but she's borne you a son
[CHRIS, spoken]
Ellen
[ELLEN]
In your nightmares the name that you shouted was hers
[CHRIS, spoken]
I don't need this, I really don't
[ELLEN]
You've been married two years and not shared things you've done
[CHRIS, spoken]
I'm sorry, I can't—
[ELLEN, spoken]
Don't
[CHRIS, spoken]
I can't—
[ELLEN, spoken]
Don't
[ELLEN]
Don't hold back
Let me see
Is it her now
Or me?
[CHRIS]
Let me tell you the way it was
Back when I was a different man
Back when I didn't have a clue what was right
They drafted me and shipped me out
To wind up in a senseless fight
There in the shambles of a war
I found what I was looking for
Saigon was crazed but she was real
And for one moment I could feel
I saw a world I never knew
And through her eyes I suffered too
In spite of all the things that were
I started to believe in her
So I wanted to save and protect her
Christ, I'm an American
How could I fail to do good?
But all I made was a mess just like everyone else
In a place full of mystery
That I never once understood
I wanted back a world I knew
The story of my life began again with you
[ELLEN]
It's all right now
That's all through
[CHRIS]
Oh Ellen, I should have told you
[ELLEN]
We'll get past this
Start anew
[CHRIS]
Will you ever trust me again?
[ELLEN & CHRIS]
All I want in my life (All I have in my life now)
[ELLEN & CHRIS]
Is you
[JOHN, spoken]
Hey, you guys okay?
[ELLEN, spoken]
Kim was here
[JOHN, spoken]
Oh my God, alone?
[CHRIS, spoken]
Yeah, while we were out looking for her
[JOHN, spoken]
Need some time?
[ELLEN, spoken]
No, we're okay now
[JOHN, spoken]
Have you discussed Tam?
[JOHN]
Look, I run a camp that is filled with Bui-Doi
[CHRIS, spoken]
John—
[JOHN]
Looking for the fathers that they may never find
I don't know what I'd do if Tam were my boy
Do you wanna take him out or leave him behind?
[CHRIS]
He's my son
I won't abandon him
Except that Jesus Christ, John
There is also Kim
What of her?
[ELLEN]
If it were only Tam we'd take him now
He's Chris's son, we'd make it work somehow
But John, she still loves him
How can we have her there?
[CHRIS]
There's no choice
I think the answer's clear
They'll have to stay in Bangkok
We'll support them here
[JOHN & ELLEN]
Listen, you didn't see what's in that girl's head (I think this is the answer)
[JOHN, ELLEN & CHRIS]
I hope you're both proud of what you just said (For now, this is the answer)
[CHRIS]
It's done
[CHRIS & ELLEN]
It's planned
[CHRIS]
Kim is smart
[CHRIS & ELLEN]
She'll understand
[KIM]
You must take Tam with you
[CHRIS & ELLEN]
In Bangkok he will go to American schools
[KIM]
I won't break my promise to my son
[CHRIS & ELLEN]
They will start a new life
[KIM]
You will take Tam with you
[CHRIS & ELLEN]
We'll provide for their needs
[JOHN]
You're both talking like fools
[KIM]
You won't forget Tam is a part of you
[CHRIS & ELLEN, JOHN]
We will do what is right (You should do what is right)
[CHRIS, ELLEN & JOHN]
Right for Tam
Right for us
And for Kim
[KIM]
I still taste your kisses
Your voice sings in my ear
You can betray what we were yesterday
But you'll come back tonight for him
