The First Attack

*Valjean comes to the barricade wearing a national guard uniform*

Enjolras: Who are you and why are you here?

Valjean: I come as a volunteer.

Enjolras: You mean like that guy over there? *points to where Javert is tied up* Here's a gun, but no funny business!

Combeferre: The National Guard is coming!

Soldier: Who's there?

Enjolras: French Revolution!

Soldier: French Revolution who?

Enjolras: It's not a joke!

*a short skirmish, in which Valjean saves Enjolras from being shot*

Valjean: Give me the spy.

Javert: The mouse has caught the cat! The fly has caught the spider! The law is turned upside down!

Valjean: *takes Javert a little distance from the barricade and cuts his bonds* You're free. I have spared your life.

Javert: Say what now?

Valjean: Get out of here before I change my mind! *fires his gun in the air*


Drink With Me

Enjolras: Courfeyrac, you take the watch.

Grantaire: Hey Tales, you want a drink?

Tales: I'm not in the mood for wine right now.

Marius: Still sad because of Éponine's death?

Tales: She's my favorite character next to Gavroche! Of course I'm still grieving for her! You, on the other hand, read Cosette's letter the second she breathed her last breath!

Feuilly: If you won't have a drink, will you at least sing with me?

Tales: Sure, Feuilly.

Feuilly: Drink with me to days gone by

Sing with me the songs we knew

Jehan Prouvaire: Here's to pretty girls who went to our heads! *winks at Tales*

Tales: Sorry Jehan, I'm already spoken for.

Grantaire: Do you ever feel like our fight is pointless?

Tales: Nothing in life is pointless, R. Doesn't friendship matter to you?

Grantaire: I don't have any friendships. *addressing Enjolras* Unless it's your friendship.

Girls in the audience: Awww!

Marius: Nothing matters to me except Cosette!


Bring Him Home

Valjean: So that's the boy Cosette fell in love with.

God on high,

Hear my prayer!

In my need

You have always been there.

Bring him home

Bring him home

Bring him home—-or else Cosette will kill me for not saving her boyfriend!

Tales: While you're at it, can you pray for God to save the rest of the barricade boys, too? Maybe if you had sung a song for each of them, they would have lived.
