The Robbery
Thénardier assembling his gang.
Thénardier:
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. Thénardier:
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:
Here, 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. Thénardier:
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.
Thénardier:
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!
(Thénardier 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!
Thénardier:
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!
