Artist Les Miserables
enjolras gives valjean a gun
enjolras
take this and use it well!
but if you shoot us in the back
youll never live to tell
random voices
platoon of sappers advancing toward the barricade!
troops behind them
fifty men or more!
enjolras
fire!
gunfire is heard
feuilly
sniper!
valjean shoots a sniper who is aiming at enjolras
lesgles
see how they run away!
grantaire
by god weve won the day!
enjolras
they will be back again
make an attack again
to valjean
for your presence of mind
for the deed you have done
i will thank you msieur
when our battle is won
valjean
give me no thanks msieur
there is something that you can do
enjolras
if it is in my power
valjean
give me the spy javert
let me take care of him
javert
the law is inside out
the world is upside down
enjolras
do what you have to do
the man belongs to you
the enemy may be regrouping hold yourself in readiness
come my friends
back to your positions
the night is falling fast
valjean has taken javert away
valjean
we meet again
javert
youve hungered for this all your life;
take your revenge!
how right you should kill with a knife!
valjean cuts the ropes which bind javert
valjean
you talk too much
your life is safe in my hands
javert
i dont understand
valjean
get out of here
javert
valjean
take care
im warning you
valjean
clear out of here
javert
once a thief
forever a thief
what you want you always steal!
you would trade your life for mine
yes
valjean
you want a deal
shoot me now for all i care!
if you let me go beware
youll still answer to javert!
valjean
you are wrong
and always have been wrong
im a man
no worse than any man
you are free
and there are no conditions
no bargains or petitions
theres nothing that i blame you for
youve done your duty
nothing more
if i come out of this alive
youll find me
at number fifty-five rue plumet
no doubt our paths will cross again
valjean fires his gun into the air
javert leaves quickly
muted applause from the students who think javert has been shot
enjolras
courfeyrac
you take the watch
they wont attack until its light
everybody stay awake
we must be ready for the fight
for the final fight
let no one sleep tonight!
