Room 317 Lyrics - Lea Salonga

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 

Photos 

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 . . .
