Claude-Michel Schönberg
The Sewers
[THÉNARDIER, spoken]
Damn you!
Long live the revolution!

He approaches the seemingly dead Valjean

Here’s a pretty thing
Oh, hello

Valjean jumps up

Gah!
You’re alive!
I saved you-

[VALJEAN, spoken]
You!
How do I get out of here?

[THÉNARDIER, spoken]
It’s that way
All the way down to the left

Valjean carries an injured Marius out of the sewers. He finds Javert waiting

[VALJEAN, spoken]
It’s you, Javert
I knew you wouldn’t wait too long
The faithful servant at his post once more
This man’s done no wrong
He needs a doctor’s care
[JAVERT]
I warned you I would not give in
I won’t be swayed

[VALJEAN, spoken]
Another hour yet
Then I’m yours
(singing)
All our debts are paid

[JAVERT]
Man of mercy comes again
And talks of justice

[VALJEAN, spoken]
Come! Time is running short!
(singing)
Look down, Javert
He’s standing in his grave!
