As Nhan refuels the motorcycle in Flagstaff, Arizona, Redneck Biker confronts them again. He accuses Nhan of messing up his bike and attacks him. Quang appears with food and yells for the man to leave Nhan alone. As Redneck Biker throws a punch, everyone freezes, and the Playwright interjects to say that everything that is about to happen is exactly how Quang Nguyen, in real life, describes it. Quang elegantly dodges the punch, and he and Redneck Biker begin an elaborate martial arts struggle. When Quang finally lands a punch, Redneck Biker calls for backup, and ninjas appear. Quang defeats each ninja before he and Nhan deliver a final blow to Redneck Biker and leave.

Huong prays for Khue’s safety before a makeshift Buddhist temple, and then the scene changes to Saigon two months earlier. Khue enters and finds his mother praying, shocked that she isn’t on the bus to the airport to join Tong. She tells him that she won’t go and will stay with him because Tong should take her fiancé, Giai. Khue tells Huong that Tong isn’t engaged to Giai and that she just said that so that Huong would leave her alone, adding that he and Tong decided that Huong must go, not only because she deserves to for the hard life she has led but also to help Tong in a new country.
