I'm not here for a phone.

I'm delivering these.

No card?

A secret admirer?

I can't tell you.

Maybe it's from your boyfriend.

I don't have a boyfriend.

I have to go back to work now.

So?

It's done.

What did she say?

She said nothing.

What do you mean, nothing?

Does she have a new boyfriend?

Tell me!

Yes.

Yes what?

She has a new boyfriend.

She told you that?

I tried to tell you.

You wouldn't listen.

She's no good.

She's no good for you!

You don't smile anymore.

You're cold now.

I'm older now.

When I first met you...

...you were so nervous.

It was your first day

training with the airline.

walking down the aisles...

Always with a smile

on your face.

You were just a young girl.

Naive...but stubborn.

And you were the captain.

What's wrong?

You should give it to her instead.

Who?

Your wife!

You want me to leave her?

Would that make you happy?

You should go home.

She's probably waiting

for you.

You ever think of meeting

a new woman?

Let's eat out tonight.

Goat hot poat!

I know a really good place.

The big place on

Hai Ba Trung street.

So...

...What are you going to do now?

I'm going out tonight.

I'm treating myself to

a nice dinner.

How long can you keep

selling roses?

I don't know.

How Long?

One week...

One month...

One year?

I don't lnow.

Listen to me.

I have a friend...

She works at a home.

For young girls like you.

Young girLs who need help.

They have books.

They have clothes.

An orphanage! You want

to send me to an orphanage!

You won't have to sleep

in the streets.

You want to lock me up

like one of your animals!

Thuy!

You said I could

sleep here anytime.

I didn't mean in front

of the door!

Are you mad at me?

I'm tired.

Is it a boy problem?

You have to learn not to

ask so many questions.

I'm sorry.

Who are you running from?

I'm not running from anyone

Don't lie to me.

I'm not lying.

Are you in trouble?

I'm sorry I bothered you.

Thuy!

Don't go.

I won't trouble you anymore.

You don't trouble me.

I'm just having a bad day.

We should go out to eat.

You'll feel better.

I don't think that will help.

Goat hot pot! I know

a good place. My threat.

You have money

for goat hot pot?

Business is good.

He's here'

- Who?

- Mr. Hai!

Miss Lan!

This is Mr. Hai.

-He works at the...

work in management.

I work in management.

Management?

Let's eat.

Let me serve you.

Have you been flying long?

Four years now.

It's a regular job.

Are you afraid?

Working high up.

Things could happen.

Things could happen

anytime or anywhere.

Excuse me.

Are you ok?

Yeah.

I just need to wash my face.

Come up and sing.

Oh, no! I can't.

One song! One song!

Relax!

Relax!

Calm down!

She's just a girl.

Does she ever talk

about her parents?

They're in haven now.

That's all I know.

There's over 8 million people

living in this city.

You ever feel so small

in this world?

When I'm in the sky

looking down.

I can look down and

see fields of rice.

I can see pbeopLe...

...they don't know I'm

watching them.

They're so small ...like ants.

When I look closer,

I can see faces.

Old women working

in the fields.

Children playing with buffalos.

Sisters holding hands.

Like god ...looking down

on his children.

I'm no god.

I'm just a girl. 26 years old.

Still looking for a fairy tale.

People look at me and ask...

...why I'm alone.

I tell then...

I don't know what I want.

I'm...I'm sorry.

I don't work in management.

I know.

I know you work at the zoo.

I'm sorry...

I didn't tell you the truth.

Just don't lie to me again.

Have you seen this girl around?

- Don't go out on the streets.

- How come?

- They're checking for papers!

- What!?

Don't follow me!

Thuy?

Have you seen the little girl?

- Who?

- The little flower girl.

Have you seen her?

Thanks anyway.

You like dolls?

You're a little too big

to play dolls.

I've seen her on the street

selling roses.

She's got money, then.

I have no money.

Are you sure?

I told you no!

Let's see.

Promise me...

...you won't let anyone

hurt me.

- Promise me.

- I promise.

Hi. I would have called.

I didn't have your number.

I don't have a phone.

Please come in.

Sorry, my place is a mess.

That's ok.

You've lived here long?

My father was the zookeeper

or many years before he died.

I grew up with these animals.

You like them more than people.

That's what they say.

Please have some tea.

I wanted to tell you...

I think you're a good person.

I see the way Thuy follows you.

She looks up to you.

She even tells me she talks

to the animals.

What are you looking at?

You have an honest face.

Anyone ever told you that?

Never.

Thank you.

Have you seen Thuy?

They took her away.

What?

The city man took her away.

What man?

She got caught. They took

her to the orphanage.

Thanks a lot.

Give it back!

You are here to claim Thuy?

-Yes.

- Yes.

Are you the mother and father?

- Yes.

- No.

- No.

- Yes.

Yes or no?

Not officially.

Then you have no claim.

She doesn't have family.

We're the only ones she knows.

How do you know

she doesn't have a family?

She told me.

You believe everything

a little girl tells you?

She wouldn't lie about that.

Even if I wanted, I couldn't

release her to you.

You're not family.

You're not family.

We have to follow rules.

Good day, ma'am.

Someone called. Told me

my niece was here.

Her name is Thuy.

I'm her uncle.

This couple here have

come to claim her.

I don't know these people.

I don't know who they are.

Do you have proof that

you're her uncle?

I'm a factory manager

in Bien Hoa.

- I'm very respected in town.

- I need proof.

Of course.

My name is Tran Le Minh.

Her father was my brother.

Tran Loc Minhn.

Here's his death certificate.

Thuy...

Your uncle is here

to take you home.

Do you want to go home?

Of course she wants to go home.

She can speak for herself.

She's afraid.

Excuse me.

Are you her family?

I don't think so.

It's not your business.

She wouldn't have run away

if she wasn't scared.

Who are you, woman?

Thuy, your uncle wants

to take you home.

Do you understand

what I'm telling you?

Look at her. She is afraid.

- Thuy'

- I'm sorry. We have to follow rules.

I'm not going.

I'm so sorry.

Let me go. I'm not going.

I'm not going!

Thuy!

Where's the change?

Sorry, I forgot.

Hey!

Sit down.

I'm not done talking.

I understand why you

left me.

But you embrassed me.

People in the neighborhood

are talking.

Hey!

Are you listening?

I want some respect.

Look at me when I'm talking.

Look at me!

-Will you respect me?

- Yes.

Stupid girl!

They're coming next week

to take you away.

Tell me what to do

and I'll do it.

I can't do that.

I can't set you free.

Maybe...

They'll give you a better home.

Thuy!

How'd you get in?

You didn't lock the door.

What's that?

Money... to keep the elephant.

Where did you get this?

Is it enough to keep

the elephant?

Did you steal it?

I didn't steal it.

I worked at Uncle's factory.
