Lea Salonga - Room 317 lyrics

Kim: Lea Salonga

Ellen: Claire Moore

(A hotel room)

KIM

good evening, maam

ELLEN

don't turn the bed yet

KIM

I'm not the maid

ELLEN

what do you want then?

KIM

they must have written the room number wrong

I am looking for someone named Christopher Scott

three-seventeen, oh I'm sorry... unless

well, you must be, of course, you're John's wife, are you not?

ELLEN

oh God, I see

it had to happen

you must be Kim

Chris went to find you

please come inside

no one will hurt you

I'm Chris's wife

my name is Ellen

(KIM doesn't move)

ELLEN

in a way, I am glad I am meeting you first

understand, you were only a name till tonight

I don't know how I'd feel if our roles were reversed

please won't you sit down

KIM

tell me you are lying

ELLEN

we've been married a year, I am sorry, it's true

KIM

he said he'd come to get me

ELLEN

he says he tried to reach you, but what could he do?

KIM

please tell me you're not married

you don't know, you can't know what I've done to be here

ELLEN

you don't know how he needed a new start

KIM

I feel walls in my heart

closing in

I can't breathe

I can't win

ELLEN

as for the child

you say it's Chris's

KIM

oh yes, Madame

my son is Chris's

I had a dream for my son to belong

and not live his life in the streets like a rat

ELLEN

we aren't rich, but we'll shoulder our load

Chris and I are totally together on that

KIM

then you must take Tam with you

ELLEN

take a child from his mother, impossible Kim

KIM

you will take Tam with you

then he'll get what I wanted for him

ELLEN

but Kim, your child needs you

Chris is married to me, we want kids of our own

KIM

Tam's chance lies with you now, not with me

BOTH

no!

can't you see

it won't work

it can't be

KIM

if you're saying that because you've made him change his mind

Chris must go away and leave me and his son behind

if you're saying that because my husband has another wife

my child has no future, like the dust of life

he must come tonight to my place

tell me so to my face

(KIM exits)

ELLEN

I don't want this

I didn't come here

to meet a girl

who loves my husband

I came here to help, but what do I do?

now, after this, what do I . . .
