Miss Saigon 25th Anniversary Performance Page #2

---

- A whore is better than an empty bed

Man, you need some action

to fill your head

Nothing gives you a hit

like the Engineer's sh*t

That's right

Let's get out of here. Let's go!

My little princess, I was right

You are the first to score tonight

You caught that sergeant by the nose

You stay with him until he goes

Call him Chris, he'll like that

- Please, don't

- You said you needed a job

You said you'd turn a trick

You better prove it, and quick

Monsieur Chris?

Don't worry, she's clean.

I washed her myself.

Look at that. Music.

She's a very good girl.

I'll give her to somebody else.

- You f*** off.

- All right, baby.

Monsieur John!

Hit the high note!

My name is Kim

I like you, Chris

- Don't talk like that.

- What did I say?

You shouldn't be here.

Just take this

and get the hell out of here.

- Goddamn it.

- Hey. What's going on?

- You don't like her?

- Oh, yes, I do

I like him too

Take her away, come on, man

Take me away

Please, don't say a word,

just come with me

All right, it's time to pay up,

you horny bastards.

Thank you, Monsieur Tony.

The sooner you pay, the sooner you come,

and you want to come, right?

Is that mine? Thank you, Tex.

Enjoy that one.

Hey, Detroit,

you're forgetting something.

Wash your fingers.

Monsieur John, this one doesn't scratch.

She bites.

Engineer? A touch of class, man.

- I'll smoke this when I get to America.

- Whatever, man. Got me a lady.

Sweet dreams, my princess.

Why does Saigon never sleep at night?

Why does this girl smell

of orange trees?

How can I feel good

when nothing's right?

Why is she cool when there is no breeze?

Vietnam

You don't give answers,

do you, friend?

Just questions that don't ever end

Why, God?

Why today?

I'm all through here

On my way

There's nothing left here

that I'll miss

Why send me now a night like this?

Who is the girl in this rusty bed?

Why am I back in a filthy room?

Why is her voice ringing in my head?

Why am I high on her cheap perfume?

Vietnam

Hey, look, I mean you no offence

But why does nothing here make sense?

Why, God?

Show your hand

Why can't one guy understand?

I've been with girls who knew much more

I've never felt confused before

Why me?

What's your plan?

I can't help her

No one can

I want my memories as they were

But now I'll leave remembering her

Get out of my...

Out of my way!

When I went home before,

no one talked of the war

What they knew from TV

didn't have a thing to do with me

Get out of here!

I went back and re-upped,

sure, Saigon is corrupt

It felt better to be here

driving for the embassy

Cos here if you can pull a string

A guy like me lives like a king

Just as long as

you don't believe anything

Sh*t.

Hey, GI.

Can you help me get out of here?

- I can't help you.

- I've got money.

I don't need your money.

I don't need your money.

Why, God?

Why this face?

Why such beauty in this place?

I want my memories as they were

But now I'll leave remembering her

Just her

F***!

This money's yours

Please, take it all

- Hey, you want more?

- No, no, I don't want anything

- What's wrong with you?

- I've not done this before

That can't be true

Why would I lie?

Look, all the girls lie,

they just want to get out of here

Maybe you're not like that,

but I don't know who you are

F***!

Do you want one more tale

of a Vietnam girl?

Want to know I was bound

to a man I don't love?

I'm sorry.

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 fields

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!

Can I see you tonight?

Well, I'll be at the club

Selling beaucoup amour

No. No, you won't.

How would you like...?

How would I like...?

How would you like staying with me?

It feels right like this

So that's how we should be

So, would you like?

Yes, I would like

OK, it's set, no more to say

Screw the Engineer!

You're the one good thing

that I've found out here

You are sunlight

And I, moon

Joined by the gods of fortune

Midnight and high noon

Sharing the sky

One and the same

You and I

You are here

Like a mystery

I'm from a world

That's so different

from all that you are

How in the light of one night

Did we come so far?

Outside, day starts to dawn

Your moon still floats on high

- The birds awake

- And the stars shine true

- My hands still shake

- I reach for you

And we meet in the sky

You are sunlight

And I, moon

Joined here

Brightening the sky

With the flame

Of love

We are sunlight

Moonlight

Tomorrow night will be the full moon

I can bring friends to bless our love

OK.

With paper dragons and perfume

If you want me to

- Dragons?

- Yes.

Sure.

John, is that you, buddy?

Listen to me

Do I sound different?

That's how it should be

Last night,

I spent a whole lifetime in paradise

Tell the CO I'm taking all of my leave

We're going to play house,

John, it's like Christmas Eve

We have sworn

we won't see the sun for 48 hours

What are you saying?

Are you out of your mind?

All leave is canceled,

you could be left behind

Saigon is falling apart

and you'd better be here

Please have your papers ready!

Here is the news

since you've been on the moon

Cities in the boondocks

are dropping like flies

Wives and civilians

will be shipping out soon

Crowds around the embassy

have tears in their eyes

Thieu has resigned,

the new regime may not hold

People at the palace

think we'll send the Marines

We are sending nothing

from what I've been told

- Buddy, are you there?

- Yes!

Do you know what that means?

Sure, time to fall in love!

John, listen fast,

you did not get this call

You're the one

who bought the girl for me, after all

Once you are a friend,

you're a friend through and through

When you were in trouble, man,

I covered for you

Not this time,

the town's too hot for one Kongai whore

Ol' buddy, I will not get you killed

She is no whore, all right?

You saw her too

She's really more like... the April moon

- April f***ing moon?

- Both her parents died

She was all alone, she was terrified

Sweet as that and she's an orphan too

How can a guy fight that?

You've got one day, not two,

then be back

- Monsieur Chris, you're late.

- Sh*t!

What, she kept you up all night?

We had a deal for Kim, but that's on ice

I'm sorry, Sergeant,

but I've changed the price

What do you mean?

I need a visa from your embassy

Hey? You give me that,

you get the girl for free

Look, cut the crap,

this money's all I've got

I don't give visas out,

is this a deal or not?

- You tell me

- Ah, sh*t

- OK, OK, the money, it will do

- Down

Too bad, I had a Rolex watch for you,

it's yours, take it.

I'll get my papers in another way.

I'll make a rich man

of some attach, you a**hole!

With little shits like him,

you take the bucks and run
