Confrontation

Enjolras

Grantaire, at last, we see each other sober

Monsieur le Drunk, you'll drink a different thing

Grantaire

Before you say another word, Enjolras!

Before you tie me to the pole again…

Listen to me, there is something I must do.

This bottle has but one glass left

There is none but me who can intercede

In mercy's name, three seconds are all I need.

Then I shall quit, I pledge my word, then I shall quit!

Enjolras

You must think me mad!

I've watch you drink these past few hours

Drunks like you can never change

Winecask! Like you!

Grantaire

Believe of me what you will

There is a wine that I've sworn to drink

You know nothing of my life

All I did was sit and drink

You know nothing of the world

You would sooner see me dead

But not before I see this bottle done!

I am warning you Enjy!

I'm a drunker man by far

There is wine in me yet,

My drink is not yet done!

I am warning you Enjy!

There is nothing I won't drink

If I have to drink this here

I'll do what must be done!

Enjolras

Men like me can never change

Men like you can never change

No, Monsieur Drunk!

My duty's to the Republic! You have no Rights!

Get out of here Monsieur Drunk

Now the Musain's good and closed

I will have to pay your tab

Dare you speak of conviction

And the price you had to pay

Every man is born in sin

Every man must choose his way

You know nothing of "Enjy"

I was born to serve La France!

Yet I did play dominos too

I am from the gutter too! (Doo doo doooooooo)

Grantaire

And this I swear to you tonight

Enjolras

There is no place for you to drink

Grantaire

Your glass will live within my care!

Enjolras

Where ever you may conceal it!

Grantaire

And I will raise it in a toast

Enjolras and Grantaire

I swear to you, I will be there
