The Confrontation - Miss Saigon Original Cast, Alistair Brammer, Tamsin Carroll

We couldn’t find her anywhere.

Honey what’s wrong?

Kim was here, the one who had to tell her was me

Oh my God, I knew we were gone too long

No I think it’s exactly what I had to see

You said you slept with her, that’s all you were

Only one thing you left out is that you loved her

Ye-yes we were in love.

It was years ago- we were torn apart

Don’t explain- there’s nothing you can say

It’s like she’s gone insane

She tried to give away her own child

Ellen, just list-

You weren’t here

I saw the look in her eyes

Don’t you see, she still thinks she’s married to you

You must tell her she’s not, she must hear it from you

'Course it only depends if it’s true

Don’t you doubt me, Ellen

You’re my wife

Lot’s of guys came back and had no life

I had you.

Hey-

You can say what you want but she’s borne you a son

In your nightmares the name that you shouted was hers

You’ve been with me two years and not shared things you’ve done

Don’t hold back

Let me see

Is it her now or me?

Let me tell you the way it was back when I was a different man.

Back when I

didn’t have a clue what was right

They drafted me and shipped me out, to wind up up in a senseless fight

There in the shambles of a war

I found what I was looking for

Saigon was crazed, but she was real, and for one moment I could feel

I saw a world I never knew

And through her eyes I suffered too

In spite of all the things that were, I started to believe in her

So I wanted to save and protect her

Christ, I’m an American, how could I fail to do good?

But all I made was a mess, just like everyone else in a place full of mystery

that I never once understood!

I wanted back a world I knew

The story of my life began again with you

It’s alright now, that’s all through

Oh, Ellen, I should have told you

We’ll get past this, start anew

Will you ever trust me again?

All I want in my life now

All I have in my life now

Is you

(Spoken) Hey, you guys okay?

(Spoken) Kim was here

(Spoken) Oh my God, alone?

(Spoken) Yeah, while we were out looking for her

(Spoken) Need some time?

(Spoken) No, we’re okay now

(Spoken) Have you discussed Tam?

(Sings) Look, I run a camp that is filled with

Bui-Doi

(Spoken) John…

Looking for the fathers that they may never find

I don’t know what I’d do if Tam were my boy

Do you want to take him out or leave him behind?

He’s my son

I won’t abandon him.

Except that, Jesus Christ, John there is also Kim

What of her?

If it was only Tam, we’d take him now

He’s Chris’s son.

we’d make it work somehow, but John, she still loves him

How can we have her there?

There’s no choice

I think the answer’s clear

We’ll have to stay in Bangkok

We’ll support them here

I think this is the answer

Listen, you didn’t see what’s in this girl’s head

For now this is the answer

I hope you’re both proud of what you just said

It’s done

It’s planned.

Kim is smart.

She’ll understand

You must take Tam with you

In Bangkok, he will go to American schools

I won’t break my promise to my son

You will start a new life

You will take Tam with you

We’ll provide for their needs

You’re both talking like fools!

You won’t forget Tam is a part of you

We will

You should

Right for Tam, right for us, and for Kim

I still taste your kisses

Your voice sings in my ear

You can betray what we were yesterday

But you’ll come back tonight for him
