(Enjolras is addressing the revolutionaries)
Enjolras:
Here upon theses stones we will build our barricade
In the heart of the city we claim as our own
Each man to his duty and don't be afraid
Wait! I will need a report on the strength of the foe
(Disguised as a rebel) Javert:
I can find out the truth
I know their ways
Fought their wars
Served my time
In the days of my youth
Various Students:
Now the people will fight
And so they might
Dogs will bark
Fleas will bite
They will do what is right
(Marius spots Eponine dressed as a boy)
Marius:
Hey little boy what's this I see?
God Eponine, the things you do
Eponine:
I know this is no place for me
Still I would rather be with you
Marius:
Get out before the trouble starts
Get out 'ponine you might get shot
Eponine:
I got you worried now I have
That shows you like me quite a lot
Marius:
There is a way that you can help
You are the answer to a prayer
Please take this letter to Cosette
And pray to God that she's still there
Eponine:
Little you know,
Little you care
( Eponine meets Jean Valjean at Rue Plumet)
Eponine:
I have a letter, M'sieur
It's addressed to your daughter Cosette
It's from a boy at the barricade, sir
In the Rue de Villette
Jean Valjean:
Give that letter here, my boy
Eponine:
He said give it to Cosette
Jean Valjean:
You have my word
That my daughter will know
What this letter contains
(He gives her a coin)
Tell the young man
She will read it tomorrow
And here's for your pains
Go careful now stay out of sight
There's danger in the streets tonight
( He opens the letter and reads it)
Dearest Cosette,
You have entered my soul
And soon you will be gone
Can it be only a day since we met
And the world was reborn
If I should fall in battle
Let this be my goodbye
Now that I know you love me as well
It is harder to die
I pray that god will bring me home
To be with you
Pray for your Marius
He prays for you
(Jean Valjean goes in leaving Eponine alone)
