Thenardier This is his lair I've seen the old fox around He keeps himself to himself He's staying close to the ground I smell profit here!
Ten years ago He came and paid for Cosette I let her go for a song It's time we settled the debt This'll cost him dear
Brujon What do I care Who you should rob Give me my share Finish the job!
Thenardier You shut your mouth Give me your hand
[He notices Eponine but doesn't recognize her.]
Brujon What have we here?
Thenardier Who is this hussy?
Babet It's your brat Eponine Don't you know your own kid Why's she hanging about you?
Thenardier 'Ponine, get on home You're not needed in this We're enough here without you
Eponine I know this house I tell you there's nothing here for you Just the old man and the girl They live ordinary lives
Thenardier Don't interfere You've got some gall Take care, young miss, You've got a lot to say!
Brujon She's going soft
Claquesous Happens to all
Montparnasse Go home, 'Ponine, Go home, you're in the way
Eponine I'm gonna scream, I'm gonna warn them here.
Thenardier One little scream and you'll regret it for a year.
Claquesous What a palaver What an absolute treat To watch a cat and it's father Pick a bone in the street
Brujon Not a sound out of you!
Eponine Well I told you I'd do it, told you I'd do it...
[She screams.]
Thenardier You wait my girl, you'll rue this night I'll make you scream, you'll scream all right Leave her to me, don't wait around Make for the sewers, go underground!
