(After the conference, JOHN introduces CHRIS and ELLEN to his co- Workers. CHRIS draws JOHN aside.) 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
