[JOHN] She can tell me alone [ENGINEER, spoken] Ay-yay-yay, you talk, I'll be here [KIM] Can you take me to Chris? I can leave here right now We've been here for so long Took this job to survive [ENGINEER] One month at sea [KIM] I was sure we'd drown But I thought about Chris And we didn't go down I've done terrible things But we're safe and you're here So perhaps all the gods Have begun to forgive [CLUB OWNER] Has the gentleman ordered Champagne? [ENGINEER] She was about to get it [CLUB OWNER] You better get back on the chain or get out [KIM & ENGINEER] Monsieur John (I am sick of that prick) Look at this (Quick, before he gets wise) Let John look at our kid Come see love (See the lids of his eyes) Let John have his surprise Come see Chris [ENGINEER, spoken] Yeah, yeah, yeah I'll be with you I'll bring your bottle Ha ha [ENGINEER] Look, Uncle Sam How nice I am I'm doing all this just for Tam An American boy [KIM] Look, John, this is his son Don't they have the same smile? He's been waiting for his father for a long, long while
