BAMATABOIS (a well dressed gentleman)
Here`s something new. I think I`ll give it a try.
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 whore,
You`ve got some gall.
It`s the same with a tart
As it is with a grocer
The customer sees what he gets in advance
It`s not for the whore to say `yes sir` or `no sir`
Not for the harlot to pick or to chose
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`v done
This rat will make you bleed you`ll see!
I guarantee, I`ll make you suffer
For this disturbance of the peace
For this insult to life and property!
FANTINE
I beg you, don`t report me sir
I`ll do what ever you may want...
BAMATABOIS
Make your excuse to the police!
JAVERT
Tell me quickly what`s the story
Who saw what and why and where?
Let him give a full discription
Let him answer to Javert!
In this nest of whores and vipers
Let one speak who saw it all.
Who laid hands on this good man here?
What`s the substance of this brawl?
BAMATABOIS
Javert, would you believe it
I was crossing from the park
When this prostitute attacked me
You can see she left her mark.
JAVERT
She will answer for her actions
When you make a full report.
You can rest assured, M`sieur
That she will answer to the court.
FANTINE
There`s a child who sorely needs me
Please M`sieur, she`s but `that high`
Holy God, is there no mercy?
If I go to jail she`ll die!
JAVERT
I have heard such protestation
Every day for twenty years.
Lets have no more explanations,
Save your breath and save your tears
`Honest work. Just reward. That`s the way to please the Lord.`
VALJEAN (emergingfrom the crowd)
A moment of your time, Javert
I do believe this woman`s tale.
JAVERT
But, M`sieur Mayor!
VALJEAN
You`ve done your duty
Let her be
She needs a doctor, not a jail
JAVERT
But, M`sieur Mayor!
FANTINE
Can this be?
VALJEAN
Where will she end-
This child without a friend?
(to Fantine)
I`ve seen your face before
Show me some way to help you
How hae you come to grief
In such a place as this?
FANTINE
M`sieur, don`t mock me now, I pray
It`s hard enough I`v lost my pride!
You let your forman send me away
Yes you were there and turned aside
I never did no wrong!
VALJEAN
Is it true, what I`ve done?
FANTINE
My daughters close to dying...
VALJEAN
To an inoscent sole?
FANTINE
If there`s a God above.
VALJEAN
If I had only known then.
FANTINE
He`d let me die instead.
VALJEAN
In his name, my task has just begun.
I will see it done.
