[The crowd parts to reveal that the cart has crashed, trapping MONSIEUR FAUCHELEVANT.]

[VALJEAN]
Is there anyone here who will rescue the man?

[ONLOOKER 1]
Don't go near him, Monsieur Mayor
That load is heavy as hell

[ONLOOKER 2]
If you touch it the whole thing will fall down
And kill you as well

[VALJEAN attempts to lift the cart but fails. He tries again. They manage to pull FAUCHELEVANT clear.]

[FAUCHELEVANT]
Monsieur le Mayor
You come from God
You are a saint

[JAVERT]
Can this be true?
I don't believe what I see
A man your age
To be as strong as you are
A memory stirs...
You make me think of a man
From years ago
A man who broke his parole
He disappeared
Forgive me, sir
I would not dare...
[VALJEAN]
Say what you must
Don't leave it there...
