BAMATABOIS
Come closer, you! I like to see what I buy. The usual price for just one slice of your
pie.

FANTINE
I don’t want you! No! No, M’sieur! Let me go!

BAMATABOIS
Is this a trick? I won’t pay more!

FANTINE
No, not at all!

BAMATABOIS
You’ve got some nerve, you little slut! The customer sees what he gets in advance.
It’s not for the harlot to pick and to choose or to lead me a dance!

FANTINE
I’ll kill you, you bastard! Try any of that! Even a whore who has gone to the bad
Won’t be had by a rat!

BAMATABOIS
By Christ you’ll pay for what you’ve done! I guarantee I’ll make you suffer! For this
insult to life and property!

FANTINE
I beg you, don’t report me, sir.
I’ll do whatever you may want.

BAMATABOIS
Make your excuse to the police!

(Javert enters)

BAMATABOIS
Javert, would you believe it? I was walking, when this prostitute attacked me, you
can see she left her mark!

(Fantine passed out… Javert and Bamatabois left… Jean Valjean arrived and took
Fantine to the hospital)

BARGAIN
VALJEAN
I found her wandering in the wood. This little child, I found her trembling in the
shadows. And I am here to help Cosette, and I will settle any debt you may think
proper. I will pay what I must pay to take Cosette away.

MADAME THENARDIER
Let me take your coat, m’sieur!

VALJEAN
Cosette shall live in my protection. Cosette shall have a father now.

(Thenardier turns to his wife)

THENARDIER
What to do? What to say shall you carry our treasure away? How can we speak of
debt? Let’s not haggle for darling Colette!

MADAME THENARDIER
Cosette!

VALJEAN
Your feelings do you credit, sir. Let us not talk of bargains and bones and greed.

(He gives Thenardier money)

VALJEAN
Now may I say we are agreed?

(He leads Cosette to the door)

EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF PARIS – NIGHT

VALJEAN
My precious cosette, my life has been full of hate and darkness then you came like
a sunlight that made my day brighter. I know shadow follows behind us and you are
unsafe with me but the last thing that I want to is to lose you.

1 MEETING OF MARIUS, COSETTE, AND EPONINE

MARIUS
Eponine, why does no one love me? Am I not enough to be loved?

EPONINE
Maybe because you are looking far when what you are seeking is near.

MARIUS
(Laughs at Eponine) What are you trying to say, Eponine? Are you implying that
you are the one I seek?

EPONINE
(sarcastically laughs)

(Marius goes down and Eponine follows behind)

MARIUS
Eponine! Believe it or not I saw an angel! Help me find her! & I promise to help you
find the person that you desire.

(Eponine turns her back and nods)

MARIUS
Come on! Let’s head to the café
(Eponine walks fast)
Eponine! Why are you walking so fast? The café is right here but why are you
walking to the wrong direction?

EPONINE
I thought you want me to help you find her? That’s where we’re going

(Threesome COSETTE – MARIUS – EPONINE)

ABC CAFÉ

ENJOLJERAS
It’s time! It’s time! It’s to prepare for the quagmire that will come! But let’s wait for
the perfect moment and keep your blood in your veins and don’t slip wine to your
brains… (Sees Marius) OH! Marius! You’re here, and I see something different in
your aura that I have never seen before.
MARIUS
I saw a ghost today, ghost to make your gloomy a bright day, maybe she was just
like a ghost to me, one minute there then she was gone.

(People in the café will sing RED AND BLACK song)

ENJOLJERAS
Marius! Wake up! Don’t waste your time on ghosts when the people’s problems
are real!

(People sing RED AND BLACK song)

Stay strong Marius! Don’t close your eyes! Stay with me!

(Javert arrives)

At last! We meet again! This will be the last time, I swear you’ll rot in jail, and
wear a different chain.

VALJEAN
Javert! If I come out of this war alive, I’ll surrender myself to you

JAVERT
One more step then you’ll die

Then I die
