Come to Me (Fantine's Death)
Valjean: Fantine, I know you're dying here, but I wanted to tell you that I'll go find your daughter and raise her as my own child. It's the least I can do for inadvertently getting you fired from the factory.
Fantine: Oh, thank you so much! I will definitely entrust Cosette to a stranger, because I'm sure your intentions are nothing but good! *closes her eyes*
Valjean: Oh, dear Fantine! May you rest in peace! *kisses her*
Fantine: That was nice, thank you.
Valjean: *embarrassed* I thought you were dead!
Fantine: Not yet! Have I ever told you how much I lo-*falls back with a glazed look in her eyes*
Valjean: I guess she's dead for real now.
The Confrontation
Javert: Ha! Time for me to totally ruin this emotional moment and arrest you, Monsieur le maire!
Valjean: Okay, but first let me get this lady's child from Montfermeil.
Javert: No way, I can't trust you to return!
Valjean (in counterpoint with Javert): Believe of me what you will
There is a duty that I'm sworn to do
You know nothing of the world
You would sooner see me dead
But not before I see this justice done!
Javert (in counterpoint with Valjean): Men like me can never change.
Men like you can never change.
No, 24601
My duty's to the law
You have no rights
Come with me, 24601
Now the wheel has turned around
Jean Valjean is nothing now!
Valjean: This song would be easier to understand if we weren't singing over each other.
Javert: Don't interrupt me! I haven't gotten to my "I was born inside a jail" part yet!
Valjean: That's what I mean. *knocks Javert out with a wooden beam* Bye, I'm off to get Cosette!
