"In the barricades the revolutionary students pledge themselves to their fight"

"Marius sends a letter to Cosette with Eponine"

"Eponine walks the streets of Paris"

And now I'm all alone again Nowhere to turn, no one to go to

Without a home, without a friend Without a face to say hello to

And now the night is near Now I can make believe he's here

Sometimes I walk alone at night When everybody else is sleeping

I think of him and then I'm happy With the company I'm keeping

The city goes to bed And I can live inside my head

On my own Pretending he's beside me

All alone, I walk with him till morning

Without him I feel his arms around me

And when I lose my way I close my eyes And he has found me

In the rain the pavement shines like silver

All the lights are misty in the river

In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight

And all I see is him and me for ever and forever

And I know it's only in my mind

That I'm talking to myself and not to him

And although I know that he is blind Still I say, there's a way for us

I love him But when the night is over

He is gone, the river's just a river

Without him the world around me changes

The trees are bare and everywhere The streets are full of strangers

I love him But every day I'm learning

All my life I've only been pretending

Without me his world will go on turning

A world that's full of happiness That I have never known!

I love him I love him

I love him

But only on my own

"Eponine joins Marius at the barricades"

"At the barricades"

"The revolutionary students are ready for the battle"

Red - the blood of angry men! Black - the dark of ages past!

Red - a world about to dawn! Black - the night that ends at last!

Now we pledge ourselves to hold this barricade

Let them come in their legions And they will be met

Have faith in yourselves And don't be afraid

Let's give 'em a screwing That they'll never forget!

- This is where it begins! - And if I should die in the fight to be free

Where the fighting is hardest There will I be

Let them come if they dare We'll be there!

You at the barricade listen to this!

No one is coming to help you to fight You're on your own

You have no friends Give up your guns - or die!

Damn their warnings, damn their lies

They will see the people rise!

Damn their warnings, damn their lies They will see the people rise!

Listen my friends I have done as I said

I have been to their lines I have counted each man

I will tell what I can

Better be warned They have armies to spare And the danger is real

We will need all our cunning To bring them to heel

Have faith If you know what their movements are

We'll spoil their game There are ways that a people can fight We shall overcome their power

I have overheard their plans There will be no attack tonight

They intend to starve us out Before they start a proper fight

Concentrate their force Hit us from the right

Liar!

Good evening, dear inspector Lovely evening, my dear

I know this man, my friends His name is Inspector Javert

So don't believe a word he says 'Cause none of it's true

This only goes to show What little people can do!

And little people know When little people fight

We may look easy pickings But we've got some bite

So never kick a dog Because he's just a pup

We'll fight like twenty armies And we won't give up

So you'd better run for cover When the pup grows up!

Bravo, little Gavroche, you're the top of the class!

So what are we going to do With this snake in the grass?

Tie this man and take him To the tavern in there

The people will decide your fate Inspector Javert!

- Take the bastard now and shoot him! - Let us watch the devil dance!

You'd have done the same, Inspector If we'd let you have your chance!

Take this man, bring him through There is work we have to do!

"Eponine is deadly wounded"

Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius I don't feel any pain

A little fall of rain Can hardly hurt me now

You're here, that's all I need to know

And you will keep me safe And you will keep me close

And rain will make the flowers grow

But you will live, 'Ponine - dear God above

If I could heal your wounds with words of love

Just hold me now, and let it be

Shelter me, comfort me

You would live a hundred years If I could show you how

- I won't desert you now... - The rain can't hurt me now

This rain will wash away what's past

And you will keep me safe And you will keep me close

I'll sleep in your embrace at last

The rain that brings you here Is Heaven-blessed!

The skies begin to clear And I'm at rest

A breath away from where you are I've come home from so far

- So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius - Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine

- I don't feel any pain - You won't feel any pain

A little fall of rain

- Can hardly hurt me now - Can hardly hurt you now

- I'm here - That's all I need to know

- I will stay with you till you are sleeping - And you will keep me safe and you will keep me close

And rain...

Will make the flowers...

Grow...

"Eponine dies"

She is the first to fall The first of us to fall upon this barricade

Her name was Eponine Her life was cold and dark

Yet she was unafraid

- We fight here in her name - She will not die in vain

She will not be betrayed

Here comes a man in uniform What brings you to this place?

- I come here as a volunteer - Approach and show your face

- You wear an army uniform - That's why they let me through

- You've got some years behind you sir - There's much that I can do

- You see that prisoner over there? - A volunteer like you!

- A spy who calls himself Javert! - He's going to get it too...

They're getting ready to attack!

Take this and use it well! But if you shoot us in the back You'll never live to tell

- Platoon of sappers advancing toward the barricade! - Troops behind them, fifty men or more!

Fire!

- See how they run away! - By God we've won the day!

They will be back again Make an attack again

For your presence of mind For the deed you have done

I will thank you M'sieur When our battle is won

Give me no thanks M'sieur There is something you can do

If it is in my power

Give me the spy Javert Let me take care of him!

The law is inside out The world is upside down

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

- We meet again - You've hungered for this all your life

Take your revenge! How right you should kill with a knife!

You talk too much Your life is safe in my hands

"Valjean cuts the ropes which bind Javert"

- Don't understand - Get out of here

Valjean, take care! I'm warning you...

Clear out of here

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 You'll still answer to Javert!

You are wrong, and always have been wrong I'm a man, no worse than any man

You are free, and there are no conditions No bargains or petitions

There's nothing that I blame you for You've done your duty, nothing more

If I come out of this alive, you'll find me At number fifty-five Rue Plumet

No doubt our paths will cross again

Go!

"Valjean fires his gun into the air, Javert leaves quickly"

"The night fall at he barricades"

Drink with me to days gone by

Sing with me the songs we knew

Here's to pretty girls who went to our heads

Here's to witty girls who went to our beds

Here's to them and here's to you!

Drink with me to days gone by

Can it be, you fear to die?

Will the world remember you When you fall?

Could it be your death Means nothing at all?

Is your life just one more lie?

Drink with me to days gone by

To the life that used to be

At the shrine of friendship, never say die

Let the wine of friendship never run dry

Here's to you and here's to me

Do I care if I should die Now she goes across the sea?

Life without Cosette Means nothing at all

Would you weep, Cosette Should Marius fall?

Will you weep, Cosette For me?

"Valjean prays for Marius"

God on high Hear my prayer

In my need You have always been there

He is young He's afraid

Let him rest Heaven blessed

Bring him home Bring him home Bring him home

He's like the son I might have known

If God had granted me a son

The summers die One by one

How soon they fly On and on

And I am old And will be gone

Bring him peace Bring him joy

He is young He is only a boy

You can take You can give

Let him be Let him live

If I die, let me die

Let him live Bring him home

Bring him home

Bring him home

"Dawn at the barricades"

You at the barricade listen to this The people of Paris sleep in their beds

You have no chance No chance at all

Why throw your lives away?

Let us die facing our foes Make them bleed while we can

- Make 'em pay through the nose - Make 'em pay for every man!

Let others rise to take our place Until the earth is free!

"All at the barricade are killed, except Marius, who is wounded and unconscious, and Valjean"

"Valjean discovers that Marius is still alive and carries him down into the sewers to escape"

"Javert climbs over the barricade looking for Valjean's body

"Not finding it, he realizes that Valjean must be in the sewers"

"So he goes off to where Valjean must emerge"

"Thenardier is picking through the corpses in the sewers"

Here's a hint of gold Stuck into a tooth

Pardon me M'sieur You won't be needing it no more

Shouldn't be too hard to sell Add it to the pile Add it to the stock

Here among the sewer rats, a breath away from Hell, you get accustomed to the smell

Well someone's got to clean 'em up, my friends Bodies on the highway

Law and order upside down

Someone's got to collect their odds and ends

As a service to the town!

Here's a tasty ring Pretty little thing

Wouldn't want to waste it That would really be a crime

Thank you sir, I'm in your debt

Here's another toy Take it off the boy

His heart's no longer going And he's lived his little time

But his watch is ticking yet!

Well, someone's got to clean them up, my friends Before the little harvest disappears into the mud

Someone's got to collect their odds and ends When the gutters run with blood

It's a world where the dog eats the dog

Where they kill for bones in the street

And God in His Heaven He don't interfere

'Cause he's dead as the stiffs at my feet

I raise my eyes to see the heavens

And only the moon looks down

The harvest moon shines down!

"He turns over Valjean's body, recognizes him, and leaves. "

" Eventually, Valjean picks up Marius again and walks through the sewers. As they emerge, they meet Javert."
