In the middle of the party the door opens. "Mr. Waters" (given that nickname because he used to prank everyone by setting up a pail so water would fall on their heads) entered the room.

"You're here," he said to Hazel, "at last I've come to take you home. I ran all night. I made it through the line. Hazel, tell your friends it's time to go away. This hell ends now. You're safe with me today-"

"THIS GIRL IS MINE," Gus yelled.

"Yours?"
"Mr. Waters" sneered.

"Now," Gus said.

"You?"

"WHO ARE YOU!"
Hazel jumped in between them.

"STOP!"
"Mr. Waters" glared at Gus.

"Who is this America? Do none of you see what's aside? You must have gone MAD! These are losers and WHORES. They will soon all be gone or be dead."

"Get out of here," Gus said a warning in his voice.

"You have no right to be here," Hazel added, "I'm not a prize you can claim. "
She looked at Gus and explained

"We were promised at 13."
She looked back to "Mr. Waters"

"The woman I am now is not the same"
"Mr. Waters" shook his head.

"Our parents bound us together. That is our fate. You knew I'd come back to get you. Why didn't you wait!"

"My parents got themselves killed in the week you changed sides. If there were promises all of them died when they died!"
Gus and "Mr. Waters" both pulled a gun on each other while the girls scream and hurried out of the room.

"Hazel," "Mr. Waters" pleaded, "Leave this man behind."
"Go on," Hazel said stepping in front, "and shoot. I will not change my mind."
"Mr. Waters turned ugly"

"YOU ARE STILL MINE"

"Not anymore"

"You're mine until we die. Saigon is doomed and so is your G.I."

"GET THE HELL OUT," Gus yelled.

"You broke your father's word. This is your curse."
"Mr. Waters" ran out. Gus ran in after him but now he had left.

"What a party that was," Gus said.

"You're going to leave me now," Hazel asked in fear.

"Yes," Gus said, "I'm going to leave and take you out with me"
