my mother every month.

The oldest son has to

take care of the family.

Do youu have family in Saigon?

My parents live in Nha Trang.

Your perfume smells so good to me.

What I mean is...

...you're so pretty.

Prettier than my cousins told me.

I'm having a good time

sitting with you.

I hear you do magic?

Magic...

I do it for fun at birthday parties.

At friends' weddings too.

Just one moment.

Please pick a card.

Don't let me see it.

Put it back in the deck.

Is it this ome?

Sorry, I have to go the ladies room.

... the number you have dialed

is not in service...

You didn't say goodbye.

I'm sorry.

I'm not good at this.

You're not attracted to me.

I understand.

No...

...you're a nice guy.

You have a nice job.

There's somebody else, right?

That's okay.

You don't have to tell me.

There will be some girl...

...you'll make very happy.

Goodnight.

How was your date tonight?

How do you know I was on a date?

I cam smell your perfume.

WeIl, I'm sitting here

alome at midnight.

I know a man who's really nice.

I know for a fact

he's not married.

But...

He's just a little strange.

I'm not what men want.

You're pretty. You have a job.

What man doesn't want that?

I'm difficult to understand.

Anyway, I'm leaving soon.

You're leaving?

For work.

I fly to Hanoi on friday.

What time?

Three p.m.

...seventy two minus

five times sixty...

What are you doing?

That's 4.020 mimutes

till you leave.

I bet you can find someone before then.

You want to bet me?

Do you have a place to sleep tonight?

Sure. Next to the river.

You sleep by the river?

Sometimes.

You don't have friends in the city?

Any family?

How much money do you pay for this room?

The company pays.

They pay for you to stay here?

There's toothpaste on the sink.

Go rinse your mouth.

I'll sIeep on the floor.

You'll sleep on the bed

like normal people.

I'm used to the floor.

It's good for the back.

Thuy, I want to help you.

You deserve better things.

Everyone deserves a real bed.

You can sleep here

anytime you want.

It's time for bed.

Thank youu, miss Lam.

For what?

You're kind to me.

A lot of people in the city

aren't so kind.

You have a good heart.

That's the most important thing.

Now close your eyes.

Dream something nice.

I don't know what I'll do

when you're gone.

First it was Phuongg...

...now it's youur turm.

Everyone leaves.

Do you understand

what I'm telling you?

They want to take you away from me.

Thuy!

What are you doing!?

I'm sorry.

You have to respect

my things!

I just wanted to see...

See what!?

...how it feels to be a grown up.

You don't want to be

like ne.

But you're pretty.

You're just a littIe girl.
