JOLY
Here comes a man in uniform
What brings you to this place?
VALJEAN
I come here as a volunteer
JOLY
Approach and show your face.
SENTRY
You wear an army uniform.
VALJEAN
That's why they let me through.
JOLY
You've got some years behind you sir.
VALJEAN
There's much that I can do.
JOLY
You see that prisoner over there?
GRANTAIRE
A volunteer like you!
COMBEFERRE
A spy who calls himself Javert!
GRANTAIRE
He's going to get it too...
SENTRY
They're getting ready to attack!
ENJOLRAS
Take this and use it well!
But if you shoot us in the back,
You'll never live to tell.
STUDENT ONE
Platoon of sappers advancing toward the barricade!
STUDENT TWO
Troops behind them, fifty men or more!
ENJOLRAS
Fire!
(Valjean shoots a sniper who is aiming at Enjolras)
LESGLES
See how they run away!
GRANTAIRE
By God we've won the day!
ENJOLRAS
They will be back again,
Make an attack again.
(To Valjean.)
For your presence of mind
For the deed you have done
I will thank you M'sieur
When our battle is won.
VALJEAN
Give me no thanks M'sieur
There is something you can do.
ENJOLRAS
If it is in my power.
VALJEAN
Give me the spy Javert
Let me take care of him!
JAVERT
The law is inside out
The world is upside down
ENJOLRAS
Do what you have to do,
The man belongs to you.
The enemy may be regrouping. Hold yourself in readiness.
Come my friends, back to your positions.
The night is falling fast.
