Thuy's DeathYou Will Not Touch Him

THUY

No one must ever see

This thing you're showing me

That bastard fouls our name

KIM

My baby's not to blame

For what I've done

THUY

You must decide upon

Which side you're really on

You whored to make this kid

KIM

That isn't what I did

Don't touch my son

THUY

You must seem how it is when you're my wife

Having that child of his brands us for life

No alternative This child cannot live

THUY pulls a knife threatening the boy

KIM

No

You will not touch him

Don't touch my boy

He's what I live for

He's my only joy

KIM THUY

You will not touch him he is my enemy

It's he turns you from me

Don't touch my boy erase him from your life

Even your memory

He's what I live for he's one drop in a flood

Left here to taint our blood

He's my only joy our marriage bond was sworn

Forget that he was born

KIM pulls out a gun

KIM THUY

Of course you have a gun

Don't touch my little boy and now you'll shoot your cousin'

And it's a U S gun

And do not test my will a gun that lost the war

You're the corrupted one

I'm warning you for him I'll kill go on and shoot Don't wait

To save your bastard son

You must not hesitate

KIM

The earth moves where I stand

I feel the turning of a wheel

I feel nothing in my hand

Not even the feel of steel

You will not take my child

THUY

You don't know how to kill

KIM

I have no other choice

What I must do I will

She shoots THUY and at the same moment the street pageant continues

In the street outside

CROWD

This is the hour

This is our land

We found the power

In our brother's hand

And from a storm

KIM

No

CROWD

Pierced with light

Fierce and white

The lightning came

A bright'ning flame

To end the night

A gigantic statue of Ho Chi Minh is raised in the square outside

One man to heed us

Each girl each boy

One voice to lead us

In a song of joy

This is the hour

This is the land

In the room KIM stares at THUY'S body

KIM puts the gun her family shrine and a few valuables in a sack and

Taking TAM by the hand escapes
