Wolverine vs. Gladiator in: Les Miserables Page #2

---

Monsieur Madeleine is here!

(SINGING) What is

this fighting all about?

Someone tear these two apart!

This is a factory,

not a circus

Now, come on, ladies,

settle down

I am the mayor of this town

I run a business of repute

(PANTING SOFTLY)

Deal with this, Foreman.

Be as patient as you can.

Yes,

Monsieur Madeleine.

Now, someone say

how this began.

(SINGING)

At the end of the day

she's the one who began it!

There's a kid

that she's hiding

in some little town

There's a man

she has to pay

You can guess how

she picks up the extra

You can bet she's

earning her keep

sleeping around!

And the boss

wouldn 't like it

Yes, it's true there's a child

And the child is my daughter

And her father

abandoned us,

leaving us flat

Now she lives

with an innkeeper

man and his wife

And I pay for the child

What's the matter with that?

WOMEN :
At the end of the day

she'll be nothing but trouble

And there's trouble for all

when there's trouble for one

While we're earning

our daily bread

She's the one with

her hands in the butter

You must send the slut away

or we're all going

to end in the gutter

And it's us who'll have to pay

At the end of the day!

I might have known

the b*tch could bite

I might have known

the cat had claws

I might have guessed

your little secret

Ah, yes, the virtuous Fantine

who keeps herself

so pure and clean

You'd be the cause,

I had no doubt

of any trouble hereabout

You play a virgin

in the light

But need no urging

in the night

WOMAN :
She's been

laughing at you while

she's having her men!

WOMEN:
She'll be nothing

but trouble again and again!

You must sack her today!

Sack the girl today!

Right, my girl

On your way

Monsieur le Mayor!

Monsieur le Mayor!

Monsieur le Mayor!

Monsieur le Mayor!

Monsieur le Mayor!

Please!

Please, monsieur!

I have a child!

Monsieur!

(COINS CLINKING)

Please! Please.

(SOBBING)

(SIGHS)

Welcome, Inspector.

Monsieur le Mayor.

(SINGING) Please

know me as Javert

I'm here at your command

With honor due to each

And justice in our hand

No man's beyond our reach

Let all beware

Welcome, sir

Come guard our laws

I'm sure we're here

In common cause

You've done the city proud

You're praised

by those on high

Your success

has earned a force

The best that Paris

can supply

Your people thrive

The dignity of toil

To stay alive

It seems to me

we may have met

Your face is not a face

I would forget

FOREMAN :
Monsieur Madeleine!

Pardon.

Monsieur le Mayor!

(MEN GRUNTING)

Monsieur le Mayor!

The weight,

it's crushing him!

Stay still, stay still.

(GROANING)

(GRUNTING)

(MAN CRIES OUT)

Hold, hold, hold!

Hold that steady.

Hold it steady!

(GRUNTING)

That's it. That's it.

(CART SLAMS)

(MEN PANTING)

(SINGING) Can this be true?

I don't believe what I see

A man your age

To be as strong as you are

A memory stirs

You make me think of a man

From years ago

A man who broke his parole

He disappeared

Say what you must

Don't leave it there

Forgive me, sir

I would not dare

(SHIP'S BELL TOLLING)

(GREETINGIN FRENCH)

How much for this?

It's my daughter's.

I'll give you

four francs for that.

Four? It's worth 10!

(CHUCKLING) No.

(SINGING) I smell women

Smell 'em in the air

Think I'll drop my anchor

In that harbor over there

Five?

(SINGING) Lovely lady

I'll love you till I'm broke

Seven months at sea

and now I'm hungry for a poke!

Even stokers

need a little stoke!

PROSTITUTES:
Lovely ladies

Waiting for a bite!

Waiting for the customers

Who only come at night

Lovely ladies

Ready for the call

Standing up or lying down

Or any way at all

Bargain prices

up against the wall!

What pretty hair!

What pretty locks

you've got there!

What luck you've got

It's worth a centime,

my dear!

I'll take the lot!

Don't touch me!

Leave me alone!

Let's make a price

I'll give you

all of 10 francs

Just think of that

It pays a debt

Just think of that

What can I do?

It pays a debt

Ten francs may

save my poor Cosette

PROSTITUTES:
Lovely ladies

Waiting in the dark

Ready for a thick one

Or a quick one in the park

Long time, short time

Any time, my dear!

Costs a little extra

If you want to take all year

PROSTITUTES:
Quick and cheap

is underneath the pier

Go and see them.

(SINGING)

Come over here

It's 20 francs for a tooth

PROSTITUTE:

Come here, my dear

I'll pay you well

for your youth

The pain won't last

You'll still be able to bite

(WHISPERING)

Just the back ones.

(SINGING) I do it fast

I know my business all right

It's worth a go

You'll pay me first

what I am due

You'll get twice

if I take two

(MUFFLED PROTESTS)

Give me the dirt

Who's that bit over there?

A bit of skirt

She's the one sold her hair

She's got a kid

Sends her all that she can

I might have known

There is always some man

Lovely lady,

come along and join us!

Lovely lady!

Come on, dearie,

why all the fuss?

You're no grander

than the rest of us

Life has dropped you

at the bottom of the heap

Join your sisters

Make money in your sleep

That's right, dearie

Show him what you've got

That's right, dearie

Let him have the lot

PROSTITUTES:

Old men, young men

Take 'em as they come!

Harbor rats and alley cats

and every kind of scum

Poor men, rich men,

leaders of the land

See them with

their trousers off

They're never quite as grand!

All it takes is

money in your hand

Lovely ladies

Going for a song

Got a lot of callers

But they never stay for long

Come on, Captain

You can wear your shoes

Don't it make a change

to have a girl

who can't refuse?

Easy money

Lying on a bed

Just as well they never see

The hate that's in your head

Don't they know

they're making love

to one already dead?

(MAN EXHALES)

(COINS CLINKING)

There was a time

when men were kind

When their voices were soft

And their words inviting

There was a time

when love was blind

And the world was a song

And the song was exciting

There was a time

Then it all went wrong

I dreamed a dream

in time gone by

When hope was high

And life worth living

I dreamed that

love would never die

I dreamed that God

would be forgiving

Then I was young and unafraid

And dreams were made

and used and wasted

There was no ransom to be paid

No song unsung,

no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night

With their voices

soft as thunder

As they tear your hope apart

As they turn

your dream to shame

He slept a summer by my side

He filled my days

with endless wonder

He took my childhood

in his stride

But he was gone

when autumn came

(SOBBING)

And still I dream

he'll come to me

That we will live

the years together

But there are dreams

that cannot be

And there are storms

we cannot weather

(SOBBING)

I had a dream my life would be

So different from

this hell I'm living

So different now

from what it seemed!

Now

Life has killed the dream

I dreamed

Have you anywhere to go?

No? You need to get warm.

(FANTINE COUGHING)
