Miss Saigon 25th Anniversary Performance Page #3

---

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
