• The Robbery - Javert's Intervention

THENARDIER
Everyone here, you know your place
Brujon, Babet, Claquesous
You, Montparnasse, watch for the law
With Eponine take care
You turn on the tears
No mistakes, my dears

MME. THENARDIER
These bloody students on our street
Here they come slumming once again
Our Eponine would kiss their feet
She never had a scrap of brain

MARIUS
Hey, Eponine, what's up today?
I haven't seen you much about.
Eponine: Here you can always catch me in.
Marius: Mind the police don't catch you out!

EPONINE
'Ere, wotcher do with all them books?
I could have been a student too!
Don't judge a girl on how she looks.
I know a lot of things, I do!

MARIUS
Poor Eponine, the things you know
You wouldn't find in books like these.

EPONINE
I like the way you grow your hair

MARIUS
I like the way you always tease

EPONINE
Little he knows!
Little he sees!

(Valjean arrives with Cosette, now grown up)

MME. THENARDIER
Here's the old boy. Stay on the job and watch out for the law.

EPONINE(to Marius)
Stay out of this.

MARIUS
But Eponine...

EPONINE
You'll be in trouble here
It's not your concern
You'll be in the clear

(She pushes Marius away)

MARIUS
Who is that man?

EPONINE
Leave me alone!

MARIUS
Why is he here? Hey, Eponine!

(He tries to follow her, and bumps into Cosette)

I didn't see you there, forgive me.

THENARDIER
Please m'sieur, come this way
Here's a child that ain't eaten today.
Save a life, spare a sou
God rewards all the good that you do.
Wait a bit. Know that face.
Ain't the world a remarkable place?
Men like me don't forget
You're the bastard who borrowed Cosette!

(Thenardier grabs Valjean and rips open his shirt, revealing the number on his chest)

VALJEAN
What is this? Are you mad?
No, Monsieur, you don't know what you do!

THENARDIER
You know me, you know me.
I'm a con, just like you.

EPONINE
It's the police! Disappear!
Run for it! It's Javert!

JAVERT
Another brawl in the square
Another stink in the air!
Was there a witness to this?

(Marius steps forward)

Well, let him speak to Javert!
M'sieur, the streets are not safe,
But let these vermin beware
We'll see that justice is done!

Look upon this fine collection
Crawled from underneath a stone
This swarm of worms and maggots
Could have picked you to the bone!

I know this man over here
I know his name and his trade
And on your witness, M'sieur,
We'll see him suitably paid.

(Valjean and Cosette have disappeared)

But where's the gentleman gone?
And why on earth did he run?

(Marius runs off to find Cosette)

THENARDIER
You will have a job to catch him
He's the one you should arrest
No more bourgeois when you scratch him
Than that brand upon his chest!

(The constables search for Valjean)

JAVERT
Could it be he's some old jailbird
That the tide now washes in
Heard my name and started running
Had the brand upon his skin
And the girl who stood beside him
When I turned they both had gone
Could he be the man I've hunted?
Could it be he's Jean Valjean?

THENARDIER
In the absence of a victim,
Dear Inspector, may I go?
And remember when you've nicked him,
It was me who told you so!

JAVERT
Let the old man keep on running
I will run him off his feet!

Everyone about your business!
Clear this garbage off the street!
