Wolverine vs. Gladiator in: Les Miserables Page #6

---

Aren't you all delighted now?

No,

I don't want your money, sir

Eponine, do this for me

Discover where she lives

But careful how you go

Don't let your father know

Eponine! I'm lost

until she's found

You see? I told you so

There's lots of things

I know

(LAUGHING)

'Ponine

She knows her way around

(SINGING)

The time is near

So near it's stirring

the blood in their veins

And yet beware!

Don't let the wine

go to your brains

We need a sign to

rally the people

To call them to arms

And to bring them in line!

Marius, wake up!

What's wrong today?

You look as if

you've seen a ghost

Some wine, and

say what's going on

A ghost, you say?

A ghost maybe

She was just

like a ghost to me

One minute there,

then she was gone

I am agog!

I am aghast!

Is Marius in love

at last?

I've never heard

him "Ooh" and "Aah"

You talk of

battles to be won

And here he comes

like Don Juan

It is better

than an opera!

(LAUGHING)

It is time for us all

to decide who we are

Do we fight for the right

to a night at the opera now?

Have you asked of yourself

What's the price

you might pay?

Is this simply a game

for a rich young boy to play?

The colors of the world

are changing day by day

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!

Had you seen her today

you might know how it feels

To be struck to the bone

in a moment of

breathless delight!

Had you been there today

you might also have known

How your world may be changed

in just one burst of light

And what was right seems wrong

And what was wrong seems right

Red!

I feel my soul on fire!

Black!

My world if she's not there!

ALL:
Red!

The color of desire!

ALL:
Black!

The color of despair!

Marius,

you're no longer a child

I do not doubt

you mean it well

But now

there is a higher call

I know.

Who cares about

your lonely soul?

We strive

towards a larger goal

Our little lives

don 't count at all!

Red!

ALL:
The blood of angry men!

Black!

The dark of ages past!

Red!

A world about to dawn!

Black!

The night that ends at last!

Listen, everybody!

General Lamarque

is dead.

(SINGING) Lamarque,

his death is

the hour of fate

The people's man

His death is

the sign we await!

On his funeral day

they will honor his name

With the light of

rebellion ablaze in their eyes

From their candles of grief

we will kindle our flame

On the tomb of Lamarque

shall our barricade rise!

The time is here!

Let us welcome it gladly

with courage and cheer!

Let us take to the streets

with no doubt in our hearts

But a jubilant shout!

They will come one and all!

ALL:
They will come

when we call!

(STUDENTS CHATTERING

INDISTINCTLY)

Did you find her?

(SINGING)

How strange

This feeling that

my life's begun at last

This change

Can people really

fall in love so fast?

What's the matter

with you, Cosette?

Have you been

too much on your own?

So many things unclear

So many things unknown

In my life

There are so many

questions and answers

That somehow seem wrong

In my life

There are times when

I catch in the silence

The sigh of a faraway song

And it sings

Of a world that I long to see

Out of reach

Just a whisper away

Waiting for me

Does he know I'm alive?

Do I know if he's real?

Does he see what I see?

Does he feel what I feel?

In my life

I'm no longer alone

Now the love in

my life is so near

Find me now

Find me here

Dear Cosette

You're such a lonely child

How pensive,

how sad you seem to me

Believe me,

were it within my power

I'd fill each passing hour

How quiet it must be,

I can see

With only me for company

There's so little I know

that I'm longing to know

Of the man that you were

in a time long ago

Please, Cosette.

There's so little you say

of the life you have known

Why you keep to yourself

Why you're always alone

So dark

So dark and deep

The secrets that you keep

In my life

Please forgive what I say

You are loving

and gentle and good

But Papa, dear Papa

In your eyes I am

still like that child

who was lost in a wood

No more words

No more words

It's a time that is dead

There are words

That are better unheard

Better unsaid

In my life

I'm no longer a child

and I yearn for

the truth that you know

Of the years, years ago

You will learn

Truth is given by God

to us all in our time

In our turn

In my life

She has burst like

the music of angels

The light of the sun

And my life seems to stop

as if something is over

And something

has scarcely begun!

Eponine, you're the friend

who has brought me here

Thanks to you

I'm at one with the gods

And heaven is near!

And I soar through

a world that is new

That is free

Every word that he says

is a dagger in me

In my life

There's been no one

like him anywhere

Anywhere, where he is

If he asked, I'd be his

BOTH :
In my life

There is someone

who touches my life

Waiting near

Waiting here

A heart full of love

A heart full of song

I'm doing everything

all wrong

Oh God, for shame

I do not even know your name

Dear mademoiselle

Won't you say?

Will you tell?

A heart full of love

No fear, no regret

My name is Marius Pontmercy

And mine's Cosette

Cosette,

I don't know what to say

Then make no sound

I am lost

I am found

A heart full of love

He was never mine to lose

BOTH :
A heart full of you

A single look

and then I knew

Why regret

what could not be?

I knew it, too

These are words

he'll never say

Not to me

From today

Not to me

Not for me

Every day

His heart full of love

BOTH :
For it isn 't a dream

He will never feel this way

BOTH :
Not a dream after all

VALJEAN :
Cosette?

Cosette,

what are you doing?

I told you to stay inside.

(SIGHS)

(SINGING)

Who is this hussy?

It's your brat Eponine!

Don't you know your own kid?

Why's she hanging

about here?

Eponine, get on home

You're not needed in this

We're enough here

without you

I know this house,

I tell you

There's nothing here for you

Just the old man and the girl

They live ordinary lives

Don 't interfere

You've got some gall

Take care, young miss

You've got a lot to say

I'm gonna scream!

I'm gonna warn them here!

One little scream

and you'll regret it

for a year!

(SCREAMING)

My God, Cosette!

(SINGING) You wait, my girl!

You'll rue this night!

I'll make you scream!

(SPITS)

You'll scream all right!

(GROANS)

OFFICER:
Police!

(SINGING)

Must be Javert

He's found my cover at last

I've got to get Cosette away

We'll go to our apartment

at Rue de l'Homme Arm,

it's safer there.

Then I'll arrange

our passage to England.

No.

(SINGING) Hurry, Cosette!

Prepare to leave

Say no more

Tonight we'll away

Please, Papa, we can't!

Hurry, Cosette!

It's time to

close another door

and live another day!

Get dressed,

we're leaving. Now!

Please, no!

(RAINDROPS PATTERING)

(SINGING) On my own

Pretending he's beside me

All alone

I walk with him till morning

Without him
