What's This I Find Songtext

von Miss Saigon

THUY
You're here. It's true
It is as I was told
This man, and you
For how much were you sold?
Our vows! Our name!
You squander them on swine
And worse! The shame!
Before your family's shrine

CHRIS
This girl is mine!

THUY
Yours?

CHRIS
Now

THUY
What!

TOGETHER
Who are you?

KIM
Stop!

THUY
What's this I find?
You have joined with the blind
And do none of you see what's ahead?
What's this I find?
I see losers and whores
Who will soon all be gone or be dead

CHRIS
Get out!

KIM
You have no right to be here
I'm not a prize you can claim
We were promised at thirteen
The woman I've become is not the same

THUY
That promise made by your father I will claim when we win
To break a vow of your parents is worse than a sin

KIM
My parents got themselves killed in the week you changed side
If there were promises all of them died when they died

(CHRIS and THUY pull guns. The girl scream.)

GIGI
He's got a gun!

(GIGI and the GIRLS leave quickly)

THUY
Kim, leave this man behind

KIM
Go on!
And shoot!
I will not change my mind!

THUY
You're still mine!

KIM
Not anymore!

THUY
You're mine until we die!

CHRIS
Get out of here!

THUY
Saigon
Will fall
And so will your GI

CHRIS
She'll leave with me

THUY
You broke your father's word
This is your curse!

(THUY runs out and down the stairs. CHRIS runs out after him but he's
Gone. CHRIS returns to the room and takes KIM in his arms
