(A Friday night in April 1975. Backstage at an after-hours club in Saigon.
Vietnamese bar-girls are getting into costumes.)
GIRLS
one of us will be Miss Saigon
ENGINEER
I spread the word - it`s Miss Saigon
GIGI
who`s left to screw who hasn`t gone
ENGINEER
shut up! and get your hot pants on
GIGI
each day more GI`s disappear
ENGINEER
there`s still some left and they`ll all be here
ALL GIRLS
a girl can trust the Engineer
(THE ENGINEER brings in a new girl, KIM)
ENGINEER
surprise!
I found this new girl, get her dressed
from the country untouched
GIGI
just give that virgin act a rest
ALL GIRLS
(mocking the new girl)
`you are my first American`
(they laugh)
ENGINEER
allez! allez! allez!
why does it take all day?
get your asses on stage... I`m raising cash tonight
GIRLS
tonight I will be Miss Saigon
ENGINEER
they say Saigon has weeks
I say it`s time to pack
GIRLS
tonight I will be Miss Saigon
ENGINEER
each day these little buns of theirs are worth less and less
I need a visa fast, and I`m not looking back
(the ENGINEER looks through the door into the club.)
ENGINEER
son of a bitch, they`re here!
I can still engineer
it`s like the old days, my little gamines
GIRLS
oh sure!
ENGINEER
you know who`s out here? a gang of marines!
GIRLS
they`re here?
ENGINEER
we`ll pick `em clean that`s what this contest`s about
GIRLS
yes, sir!
ENGINEER
one of these boys might be your ticket out
(turns to KIM)
why is she in that dress?
ah! it`s my new princess
ah, yes!
a bride will give the guys a treat
lower your eyelids and play sweet
men pay the moon to get fresh meat
allez! allez! allez!
get out and do your song!
don`t make the show too long
