Wolverine vs. Gladiator in: Les Miserables Page #5

---

That happiness

can come so fast?

Trusting me the way you do

I'm so afraid of failing you

Just a child who cannot know

That danger follows where I go

There are shadows everywhere

And memories I cannot share

Nevermore alone

Nevermore apart

You have warmed my heart

like the sun

You have brought

the gift of life

And love so long denied me

Suddenly I see

What I could not see

Something suddenly

Has begun

(SIGHS CONTENTEDLY)

Halt!

Let's see your papers.

Where are you traveling?

Cosette. Cosette.

(SHUSHING)

Give me the doll.

Come.

JAVERT:
Valjean!

Come, Cosette.

Come quickly!

Come on.

24601!

(URGING HORSE)

(GASPS)

Cosette. I've got you.

Come, come.

Valjean!

(PANTING)

(NUNS SINGING)

Who's there?

Please, monsieur.

I need your help.

Please, please.

Monsieur le Mayor?

Who are you?

Fauchelevent.

I fell under my cart.

You saved my life, monsieur.

Fauchelevent.

We need a place of sanctuary,

this child and I.

We need to disappear.

(SINGING) We'll give thanks

for what is granted

What the sisters may ordain

Come.

Here we pray

for new beginnings

Here our lives

can start again

(SINGING) There,

out in the darkness

A fugitive running

Fallen from God

Fallen from grace

God be my witness

I never shall yield

Till we come face to face

Till we come face to face

He knows his way in the dark

Mine is the way of the Lord

Those who follow

the path of the righteous

Shall have their reward

And if they fall

as Lucifer fell

The flames! The sword!

Stars in your multitudes

Scarce to be counted

Filling the darkness

With order and light

You are the sentinels

Silent and sure

Keeping watch in the night

Keeping watch in the night

You know your place in the sky

You hold your course

and your aim

And each in your season

returns and returns

And is always the same

And if you fall

as Lucifer fell

You fall in flames!

And so it must be,

for so it is written

On the doorway to paradise

That those who falter

and those who fall

Must pay the price

Lord, let me find him

That I may see him

Safe behind bars!

I will never rest till then!

This I swear

This I swear by the stars!

(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

Come on, boys!

(BOYS GRUNTING)

Come on.

BEGGARS' CHORUS:
(SINGING)

Look down and see

the beggars at your feet!

Look down and show

some mercy if you can

Look down and see

the sweepings of the street!

Look down, look down

upon your fellow man!

How do you do?

My name's Gavroche

These are my people,

here's my patch

Not much to look at,

nothing posh

Nothing that

you'd call up to scratch

This is my school,

my high society

Here in

the slums of Saint Michel

We live on

crumbs of humble piety

Tough on the teeth,

but what the hell

Think you're poor?

Think you're free?

Follow me! Follow me!

CHORUS:
Look down and show

some mercy if you can!

Look down, look down

upon your fellow man

Wait, Gavroche!

There was a time

we killed the king

We tried to change

the world too fast

Now we have got another king

He is no better than the last

This is the land

that fought for liberty

Now when we fight,

we fight for bread!

Here is

the thing about equality

Everyone's equal

when they're dead

Take your place!

Take your chance!

Vive la France!

Vive la France!

CHORUS:
Look down and show

some mercy if you can!

Look down, look down

upon your fellow man

When's this gonna end?

BEGGAR:
When we gonna live?

Something's gotta happen now

CHORUS:
Something's gotta give

It'll come,

it'll come, it'll come

It'll come, it'll come

Where are

the leaders of the land?

Where is the king

who runs this show?

Only one man,

General Lamarque

Speaks for

the people here below!

Lamarque is ill

and fading fast

Won't last a week out,

so they say

With all the anger

in the land

How long before

the Judgment Day?

Before we cut

the fat ones down to size?

MAN 1:
Death to the king!

MAN 2:
Liberty for France!

CHORUS:
(SINGING)

Before the barricades arise?

MAN 3:
Death to the king!

(CROWD CLAMORING)

Tell your friends.

We come tomorrow.

We meet here at

General Lamarque's house.

Bring your friends.

Vive General Lamarque!

Marius!

Grandfather!

Have you any idea

of the shame you

bring on our family?

An utter disgrace.

Marius.

Vive General Lamarque!

Vive General Lamarque!

ALL:
Vive la France!

Vive la France!

Vive la France!

Vive la France!

(SINGING) Hey there, monsieur,

what's new with you?

Plotting to

overthrow the state?

You still

pretending to be poor

Come on,

I know your grandpa's rich

Won't take a franc

that I've not earned

All of those bridges

have been burned

I like the way

you talk, monsieur!

I like the way

you always tease

Little he knows

Little he sees

(IN DISTINCT CHATTERING)

Here, take this.

Eponine!

(SINGING) 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

(FAKE BABY CRY)

Please, monsieur,

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

that borrowed Colette!

Cosette.

Whatever.

What is this?

Are you mad?

No, monsieur,

you don't know what you say!

You know me! I know you!

And you'll pay

what we're due

And you'd better dig deep

'Cause she doesn't

come cheap

THENARDIER:
Brujon.

It's the police! Disappear!

Run for it! It's Javert!

Cosette!

COSETTE:
Papa.

Another brawl in the square

Another stink in the air

Was there a witness to this?

Well, let him speak to Javert!

Monsieur,

these streets are not safe

But let these vermin beware

We'll see that

justice is done

Look upon

this fine collection

Crawled from

underneath a stone

This swarm of

worms and maggots

Could have picked you

to the bone

I know this man over here

I know his name and his trade

And on your witness, monsieur,

I'll see him suitably paid

But where's

the gentleman gone?

And why on Earth

would he run?

You will have

a job to find him

He's not all he seems to be

And that girl

he trails behind him

Is the child

he stole from me

Yeah, and me.

Yeah, both of us.

(SINGING) Could it be

he's that old jailbird

That the tide now washes in?

Heard my name

and started running

All the omens point to him

In the absence of a victim

Dear Inspector, may I go?

And remember

(SPITS)

When you've nicked him

It was me what told you so

Let the old man

keep on running

I will run him off his feet!

Everyone, about your business

Clear this garbage

off the street

Cosette! Now I remember

Cosette! How can it be?

We were children together

Look what's become of me

Eponine! Who was that girl?

That bourgeois

two-a-penny thing

Eponine, find her for me!

What will you give me?

Anything!

Got you all excited now

But God knows

what you see in her
