AN: Time for more!
Chapter 2: In which Enjolras is insulted and Marius is teased…again
At the operahouse. Les Amis are standing in the lobby, singing Phantom of the Opera to the annoyance of Marius.
Enjolras: Beneath the operahouse
Grantaire: They say he's there
Joly: He's hiding on the stage
Combeferre: He's everywhere
Enjolras: And when the song begins
Feuilly: You'll always find
All: The phaaaaaantom of the opera is there
Inside Marius's mind!
All enjoy a good laugh at Marius, and line up to buy tickets. Enjolras fumbles in his beloved vest for some money, but the "bouncer" waves him in out of pity. Enraged, he bursts into the first few stanzas of Javert's Suicide upon joining his fellow Amis.
Enjolras: Who is this man?
What sort of devil is he
To think that I cannot pay
And let me go in for free?
I have cash in my vest
I just got it out late
When he waved past
And washed me clean off the slate!
All it would take
Was a glance of his eye.
My money was his
And he gave me a free ride!
Darned if I'll live in the debt of this creep! (AN: Hey, this is still a family show.)
Darned if I'll yield to his smiling face.
I am quite rich and the rich are not mocked
I'll spit his pity right back in his face
There is nothing on earth that we share
It is either this man or –
All: Enough already!
Enjolras: But, How can I now allow this man
To hold dominion over me
This desper-
Amis surround Enjolras and glare at him. He stops singing.
Enjoras: Oh ok, you're right. I needed that.
AN: Wow, I love Javert's Suicide. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it.
