Miss Saigon: The Definitive Live Recording (Original Cast Recording) [Deluxe Version]
The Revelation (Live From The Prince Edward Theatre, London / 2014)
CHRIS
John, you were great. Can I see you alone
I gotta know what you meant on the phone
what is this news you received you could only tell me
JOHN
a lot of groups use my Bangkok staff
to process problems on their behalf
we got this in from the embassy
it's not easy to tell you, it's best that you see
CHRIS
It's about Kim, isn't it?
ev'ry day for a year how I tried to get word
tell me first, nothing else, tell me: did she survive?
JOHN
you must read the report, Chris, but yes, she's alive
CHRIS
you don't know, John, these nightmares, the things that I've seen
I have seen her face burned, seen her shot with my gun
I have chased her through streets and heard nothing but screams
what's wrong? Come on. There is still something more
JOHN
she has a child
you have a son
(shows CHRIS the report)
CHRIS
you won't believe me but I dreamed this, John
it's in the nightmare when I see Saigon
Jesus, John, I am married
is this story for real?
JOHN
I'm only telling you what I received
but our reports can usually be believed
Kim's a bar-girl in Bangkok
pal, I know how you feel
CHRIS
It's too late! I have a whole new life
I was in love with Kim, but now I have a wife
JOHN
listen, Chris, I know the shock you've had
there are solutions here, it isn't always bad
CHRIS
oh John, I never told her
my wife, how can I tell her?
a child, what do I do?
I shattered Kim
now Ellen too
JOHN CHRIS
I have learned the best thing for a couple to do I have to tell her
you should both come to Bangkok, I mean Ellen too I have to tell her
CHRIS
us both?
JOHN
you both should go!
CHRIS
you're maybe right
but first...
first Ellen has to know
John, you were great. Can I see you alone
I gotta know what you meant on the phone
what is this news you received you could only tell me
JOHN
