CHAPTER 1 Madam Butterfly (Rene Gallimar is a French Embassy official stationed in Bejing in 1964 .he is attending with other expatriates an opera show of Madam Butterfly by Song Liling.) Lady(Whispering):She will fall in love with an American sailor.A big mistake! Gallimar:Why is that? Lady:he will marry her,but he is not serious.Her American sailor has now left her.hes not coming back. (The performance is over.) Official：Wonderful performance，Madame. Song:Thank you very much . Gallimar:Mademoiselle Song,that was a beautiful performance. Song:Thank you. Gallimar:Ive often seen Opera singers as over weight ladies and too much bad makeup. Song:Bad makeup is not unique to the west. Gallimar:Ive never seen a performance as convincing as yours. Song:Convincing ?Me,as a Japanese woman ?Did you know the Japanese used thousands of our people for medical experiments during the war?But I gather such an irony is lost on you. Gallimar:No ,no,what I meant was ,you made me see the Beauty of the story,of her death.Oh,its pure sacrifice.I mean hes not worthy of it but what can she do ,she loves him so much .Its very beautiful. Song:Well,yes ,to a westner. Gallimar:I beg your pardon ? Song:Its one of your favourite fantasies,isnit?The submissive oriental woman and the cruel white man. Gallimar:I dont think so. Song:Consider it this way.What would you say if a blond cheerleader fell in love with a short Janpanese businessman?he marries her and then goes home for three years during which time she preys to his picture and turns down marriage from a young Kennedy.Then ,when when she learns her husband has remarried ,she kills herself .Now I believe ,you would consider this girl to be a deranged idiot ,correct?But because its an Oriental who kills herself for a westerner,you find her beautiful. Gallimar:Yes.Well,I see your point. Song:The point is ,its the music ,not the story ,Monsieur- Gallimar: Gallimar,Rene Gallimar. Song:If you wish to see some great theatre,come to the Beijing Opera some time.CHAPTER 2 Gallimars Wife (Later in the evening after the performance,Rene is at home getting ready for bed while talking with his wife Jeanne) Gallimar(While brushing his teeth):Chinese are an incredibly arrogant people. Jeanne:They warned us in Paris about it,remember? Gallimar:Mm,theres a switch.Parisans calling Chinese arrogant. Jeanne:Theres no use fussing about it.Whenever I see one of them blowing his nose onto the pavement ,I always remember what my father said ,east is east and west is west ,and never the two ends will meet .Ah,I feel much better.So tell me,did you get a chance to meet Lars Hamiltons wife? Gallimar:No. Jeanne:You know shes one really running the embassy these days. Gallimar:Sorry. Jeanne:I hear shes quite homely. Gallimar:I left early.(Rene goes to the bed) Jeanne:Oh dear,are you coming down with this cold too? Gallimar:No,Im fine.Im just- -well,its silly.I meet a Chinese girl as the diva.Shes a singer with the Peking Opera. Jeanne:Where they sing like cats wailing Gallimar:She sang the death scene from Madam Butterfly. Jeanne:Actually thats a funny thing about Chinese .Sounds more like singing when they are just speaking normally. Gallimar:Do you know that the Chinese hate Madam Butterfly? Jeanne:She hated it but she performed it anyway? Gallimar:They hate it because the white man gets the girl.Sour grapes if you ask me. Jeanne:Why cant they just see it as a piece of beautiful music? (Jeanna hums the tune of Madam Butterfly)Chapter 3 Peking Opera ( Alone,Rene attends Peking Opera performance.After the performance ,he goes back stage in a hope of seeing Song again.) Song(Behind the curtain):Monsieur Gallimar ,come in. Gallimar:You knew I was in the audience. Song:It was easy to spot you .So you are an adventurous in imperialist. Gallimar:Well,I thought it was time to continue my education. Song:Congratulations !It only took you three weeks. Gallimar:Ive been busy. Song:Well,education has always been undervalued in the west,hasnt it ? Gallimar:I wouldnt say that . Song:No,of course you wouldnt.After all,how can you objectively judge your own values? Gallimar:I think its possible to achieve a little distance. Song:Do you? (Appears her face from behind the curtain.)Be a gentleman ,would you light my cigarette? (Rene walks Song home.) Song:The oriental woman has always had a certain fascination for you Caucasian men.Is not that true？ Gallimar:Yes.But that fascination is imperialist,or so you tell me. Song:Yes,it is always imperialist.Sometimes,sometimes it is also mutual.This is my home.Come another time,and we will continue the process of education.Chapter 4 The Letter (Rene comes to Songs home again.Hes examing a picture on the table.) Song:Thats my father.It was very good that he did not live to see the revolution.They would no doubt have made him kneel on broken glass.Not that he didnt deserve such a punishment,but he was my father.I would have hated to see it happen.(The servant sends them tee.Song says to her in Chinese.)Hao,nin qu ba.(To Gallimar)There is an element of danger to your presence.You must know that. Gallimar:Doesnt concern me. Song:It doesnt concern me,either.Well.perhaps,Im slightly afraid of scandal. Gallimar:What do we do in the scandal? Song:Im enteraining you in my power. Gallimar:Where I come from that would hardly be construed as- Song:You come from France.France is a country living in the modern era.Perhaps even ahead of it.China is a nation whose soul is firmly rooted two thousand years in the past. What I do,even pouring tea for you now,it has implications.(Rene wants to grasp Songs hands)Please go.Please,Monsieur Gallimar(Gallimar takes hold of her.)Ive never invited a man to my home before.Forwardness of my actions makes my skin burn.(Rene kisses her gently.)Please,go now. Gallimar:If I go now,what assurance will you have that Ill never return? Song:You re cruel. (At the banquet) Jeanne:Im still packing in-things to do.Its really very different Im still trying to figure out you know,that he - (The scene changes to Song,sitting at home in front of the mirror reading while writing a letter she is going to send to Rene) Song:Did we fight?I do not know.Is the opera no longer of interest to you?Please come back .My audiences misses the white devil in their mitts.It has been six weeks since we last met and still I have not heard from you. Sometimes I hate you,Sometimes I hate myself.But always I seem to miss you.Your ruthless is beyond belief.Dont bother to call.Or Ill have you turned away at the door. (Rene arrives at the French Embassy reading the letter from Song) Colleaguel:Rene,Rene,I think we located that diversion were- (Rene stops his colleague and goes on with Songs letter.) Song :I am put of words.I can hide behind dignity no longer.What more do you want?I have already given you my shame. (Rene and his colleagues are going downstairs.) Gallimar:Look,if you so certain Im overstepping my bounds,then fine.Take it up with Ambassador Toulon for all I care. Colleague2:Funny,I already have. Colleague3(Rushing out from an office room)：Monsieur Gallimar,the Ambassador has been trying to locate you for the past half an hour. Gallimar:The Ambassador?Chapter Five Promotion (Rene comes into the Ambassadors office.) Ambassador:Look,Gallimar,theres not much to say.Ive liked you from the day you arrived.You were no leader but you were tidy and efficient. Gallimar:Thank you.Sir. Ambassador:Dont jump the gun.But over these past few months.I dont know how its happened,youve become this new, aggress ,over confidence.The reports Ive been getting of you- Gallimar:Well sir,I take my job-I take it seriously. Ambassador:Well,well.You see,our needs here in China are changing.Its still an embarrassment that we lost Indo China.Were going to be doing a lot more intelligence gathering in the future.Some people are just going to have to go .Vice Consul Lebond is being transferred,as is most of his staff. Gallimar:Sir,if there is um- Ambassador:But not you. Gallimar:Not me? Ambassador:Scared you?I think I did,cheer up,Callimar.I want you to replace LeBond as Vice Consul.Ah,I need a new man to coordinate a revamped intelligence division. Paris is demanding something more than sane old photos showing Chinese cadres screwing peasant girls in the rice paddies.And if anyone can shake those boys up,its you.You already have.So ,congratulations,Gallimar. Gallimar:Thank you.Sir.Chapter 6 Falling in Love (Rene returns to Songs place of abode) Song:Are you mad?Coming here at this hour? Gallimar:Ive been promoted to viceConsul。 Song:And what is that suppose to mean to me? Gallimar:I come tonight for an answer.Are you my Butterfly? Song:What are you saying? Gallimar:(sits down before her)Are you my Butterfly？ Song:Dont you know already? Gallimar:I want you to say it. Song:I dont want to say it. Gallimar:I do know one thing.(Takes out the letter and reads.)I have already given you my shame. Song:Dont.Its enough that I even wrote it. Gallimar:If you admit that,why not answer my question? Song:I dont want to. Gallimar: Are you my Butterfly?I want honesty,no falseness between us,no false pride. Song:Yes.I am your Butterfly.(Rene kisses her passionately.)Rene,please,Rene， Ive never- Gallimar:(Lets go of her.)Never? Song(Rene takes off her gown.):Rene,please,let me keep my clothes on.It ffrightens me .Honesty is so important for the Chinese . Gallimar:My little treasure.I never want to be cruel ,I want to teach you,gently. Song:Now that we embark on the most forbidden of loves,Im so afraid of my destiny. Gallimar:Theres no destiny.Except the one we make for ourselves. Song:You think because we live in house with electricity ,that we are suddenly westerners.Chinese are an ancient people,we claim to the old ways of life and love .Though in experience Im not ignorant.They teach us things,our mothers,about pleasing the man.Chapter 7 Trap of Love (Comrade Chin arrives at Songs late one night to express her dissatisfaction at Songs behavior.) Song:Tootsy?(Chin throws some magazines with actresses pictures on the cover in front of Song.)Comrade, Chin.forgive me,I didnt expect you. Chin:Trash!Decedent trash! Song:Hes begun to tell me about Vietnam.The Americans plan to increase troop strength to 170 thousand soldiers,with 120 thousand militia and 11 thousand advisors. Chin:Dont you understand how degrading those images are to woman?And how do you have to behave this way when hes not even here? Song:Comrade,in order to better serve the great proletarian state.I practice my deception as often as possible.I despise this costume.Yet for the sake of our great helmsmen,I will eddure it ,along with all the other bourgeois western perversions.（多么言不由衷！） Chin:Im not convinced that this will be enough to redeem you in the eyes of the Party. Song:Im trying my best,to become somebody else.（打到这句时心里突然酸酸的）Chapter 8 The Baby. (Again,Rene arrives at Songs house .This time he is drunk.) Song:Ive missed you. Gallimar:You dont expect me to give up my career for your sake,do you? Song:Of course not.I am your slave. Gallimar:Slave?You toss words like that around as if you really meant them! Song:But I do! Gallimar:Well,lets test this obedience of yours.Take your clothes off.Come on.Ima man/I want to see you naked. Song:But I thought you understood my modesty.I thought you respected my shame. Gallimar:Believe again in your shame some time ago. Song:Its just like a white devil,to use it against me. Gallimar:White devil?So,Im no longer your lord and master.So your obedience has limits I see. Song:Why are you treating me like this? Gallimar:Because all these rubbish about me,being faithful,and good to you.And ah,Im not what you think I am.(最后这句貌似丽玲嘴里说出来更合适啊) Song:Even the softest skin,becomes like leather to a man that has touched it too often.I confess I do not know how to change my body into the body of another.Come,strip me!Our love,in your hands!Im helpless before you.Rene,Im pregnant.（石破天惊逗秋雨） Gallimar:What? Song: Im pregnant.(真的需要超强的心理素质) Gallimar:Oh,Butterfly!Ive betrayed you in so many ways.But I love you ,rescue you and feed you and protect you and- Song:You have.Tonight,my beautiful master,believe me,you have saved my life. (Rene accompanies Song to the train siation.) Gallimar:I wish I were coming with you. Song:Dreaming of me,and of your son.I will return with him from my parents village when he is three months old,as is our custom. Gallimar:Ive told you Id be perfectly happy with a daughter. Song:I am certain,he will be a son. (Chin and Song meet again at the riverside.) Song:I need a baby,a Chinese baby with blond hair. Chin:Ha ha,this is wonderful talk.You really are mad.Trading babies .The minister will never approve such a thing. Song:Fine,you tell the ministry,we can no longer provide them with any more information on American troop movements in vietnam .Ive done my best .Tell them you personally have decided the revolution is not worth anymore sacrifice.Ill wait here. Chin:We will struggle with this in committee. Song:Comrade!Why in Beijing Opera ,a womans role is traditionally played by men? Chin:I dont know,most probably a remnat of the reactionry and patriarchal social stucture- Song:No,its because only a man knows how a woman is supposed to act.Chapter 11 At The Court (Rene,while delivering secret documents for the Chinese,is intercepted by the Intelligence officer.) Officer：Monsieur Gallimar,Im Area Tussle of Domestic Intelligence.Will you please come with us ? (later at court,the police send a man as the witness to the court who turns out to be Song.)-那一霎那真的很惊艳 Song:That was 1968 when I arrived in Paris.For the next two years,I lived a very comfortable life.I did some demonstrations around the country as part of my culture exchange cover. Prosecution Attorney(Shortened as PA):And the spying? Song:Not much at first.Rene had lost all his high level contacts,the Chinese Intelligence wasnt too happy with parking ticket statistics.Finally at my urging Rene got a job as a courier ,carrying sensitive government documents. PA:Did he understand what you planned to do with the documents? Song:I told him,the Chinese were holding our son,and expected a few favors before we would be allowed to see him。He cried and said nothing.He returned with his first diplomatic pouch.In his own small way,Rene was the perfect father.（我死也忘不了这个幽怨惆怅欲说还休的凄美眼神啊！） PA:Your witness. Defense Attorney(Shorted as DA):The prosecution claims Monsieur Gallimar was fully aware of the implications of his espionage activities.Is this your opinion ,Mr.Song? Song:I have no opinions. DA:Then lets approach the matter from another angle.Was Monsieur Gallimar aware of other aspects of your relationship ,say the fact that you are a man?(真是残忍！) Song:Well,he never saw me completely naked,never. DA:But surely he must have-how shall I put this? Song:Put it however you like.in all our years together,Rene never explored my body. DA:Monsieur Song ,please.In all your years together ,he never explored even once ?(真想抽那老头！) Song:He was very responsive to my ancient Oriental ways of love.Out of which I invented myself,just for him.(心酸中-) Judge；Havent really answered the question.Did he know you were a man?(最讨厌咄咄逼人，没完了他！) Song:I dont know,Your Honor,I never asked.Chapter12 The Late Truth(How classical it is!) （Rene and Song are taken away in a paddy wagon.） Song:What do you want from me? Gallimar:Youre my Butterfly . Song:You still adore me,dont you?Still want me,even in a suit and a tie. Gallimar:Youre not.Youre nothing.Youre nothing but my Butterfly. Song:Are you so sure?Come here,my little one. Gallimar:Im not your little one. Song:Ah,my mistake .I am your little one.Correct? (Song begins to strip off his clothes.) Gallimar:What are you doing? Song:Helping you to see through my hand. Gallimar:Stop doing that. Song:Thats what you always wanted. Gallimar:Well,I,I dont want it now.Stop it!Stop that! (Gallimar runs into the front of the wagon and closes the iron gate.) Song:(Putting off all his clothes.):Look at me. Gallimar:Look at you. Song:I fail to see what is so funny. Gallimar:Oh,well then,youre never had much of a sense of humor,did you?I just think its ridiculously funny that Ive wasted all this time,and trust a man. Song:(Opens the iron gate and comes near to Gallimar):Im not just a man.Dont you remember that feeling in China,where we missed so many years ago?Please- Gallimar(Touches Songs face)Curve her cheek ,softness of her mouth. Song:I am your Butterfly.Under the rose,for me everything .It was always me.Tell me,you adore me. Gallimar:I pity you,who understood me so well.Such a mistake!You show me your true self.What I love is the l
