[An officer]
Sorry, Sergeant, we must accelerate
State Department says we evacuate
The word is, we must be out
By dawn
[Chris]
I have to get my girl!
[Another officer]
Sorry, Sergeant, it's straight from Washington
No one leaves the grounds now, not
Anyone
As fast as we load the planes
We're gone
[Chris]
But my girl is in there
(A huge crowd is pushing the Embassy gates.)
[A Marine Captain]
(to the crowd)
Okay! Keep quiet! Don't shout!
The Ambassador won't leave till
Everyone's out
The chopper's on their way there's
Room for all of you
[Another Marine]
They're climbing over the wall!
GET BACK!
[More Marines]
Get back! Tell you don't shout!
The Ambassador won't leave till
Everyone's out
[A Marine]
(entering)
The Ambassador just sent an order to
Freeze
[The Marine Captain]
That's it! No more Vietnamese!
Get in!
[Chris]
But my girl's out there!
[Kim]
I'm the wife of a soldier
Oh please let me through
Help me, who must I pay?
Tell me what I must do
[Chris]
(To an Officer)
Let me out, I got to
Go back for my bride
[Kim]
Listen someone! My husband
is waiting inside
[Chris]
(telephoning, inside the Embassy yard)
Please Kim, hear the phone!
I can't get there
Please be home
[Kim]
Please Chris, no one sees!
I am lost here
Find me please!
[Both]
Please get me through - I don't care
How
Don't take my love away, Not now!
[Kim]
Oh Chris,
[Chris]
Oh Kim,
[Kim]
I can't get free
[Chris]
Please get free
[Kim][Chris]
Still I'm with you I am with you
Wait for Wait for me
[The Marine Captain]
(to Chris)
Sorry Sergent, inside the Embassy!
We are pulling out now and there will
Be
No more reprieves
[Chris]
I got till the old man leaves
[One Vietnamese]
Take me with you!
Take my children!
[Another]
I have a letter from...!
[Another]
I helped the C.I.A.!
[Crowd]
They'll kill who they find here!
Don't leave us behind here!
[A Vietnamese]
I have a wife who left already
[Another]
I've an aunt in New York!
[Another]
I have gold, I can pay!
[Crowd]
There is no one to find here!
They have left us behind here!
[Kim]
I must get in there - Listen, anyone!
Please tell my husband...look, I have
his gun!
[A Vietnamese]
Out of my way, if that's all you've got
[Crowd]
If I'm here when they come, I'll be shot!
[Chris]
Let me go John,
I can't leave her
Why in the world should I be saved
Instead of her?
[Crowd]
They'll kill who they find here
Don't leave us behind here!
[John]
It's not you
It's war that's cruel
And if some dreams get smashed
Perhaps it's best they were
[Crowd and Kim]
There is no one to find here!
They have left us behind here!
[John]
Wake up, my friend
Your mercy trip has failed
There's nothing you can do.
That ship has sailed
She's not the only one we'll have
Betrayed
[Crowd]
Get to the roof, or else we are betrayed1
[Kim]
Oh Chris-
I still believe!
The heart of you
Is here with me
My heart, against all odds,
Holds Still
Sorry, Sergeant, we must accelerate
