Chapter 3

The Next Morning

Grantaire: Yawn, eeewww, I’m all sandy, I need to bathe

Enjolras: When don’t you?

Valjean: There is an ocean you know, just go for a swim.

Grantaire: Good idea.

Valjean: You too Javert, why don’t you go for a swim?

Javert: I, um, I-

Valjean: What’s wrong Javert? Chicken?

Javert:: What? No!

Valjean: It must be hard to live on a tiny island. All surrounded by water, so much water…

Javert: Valjean take care, I’m warning you!

Valjean: Sooooooo much water.

Javert: Stop it!

Valjean: Churning…

Javert: I mean it!

Valjean: Swelling…

Javert: That’s it!

Valjean: Drowning!!!

Javert: Ahhhh, stooooooooooooooooooooooop!

Valjean: You have to take a bath sometime

Gavroche: Unless you want to get smelly

Javert: Leave me alone!

Eponine: Breakfast!

Javert: Oh, fruit, how familiar.

Valjean: Water, water everywhere…

Javert: No!

Grantaire: If I was a dog, and you were a flower, I’d lift up my leg and give you a shower!

Javert: Argh! People, leave me be!

Valjean: This is fun!

Cosette:: Daddy, why are you making fun of Javert?

Valjean: Because Javert has been chasing daddy and making his life miserable for the last thousand years.

Cosette:: Ah, I see…

Courfeyrac: Hey, I just realized we don’t have a source of clean water.

Marius: But there’s all this sea water!

Combeferre: Yes, but if you drink sea water you go insane.

Valjean: (looking at Javert) A little late for some of us, I’m sure.

Enjolras: Eponine and I spotted a waterfall in our travels last night, the water there was quite fresh.

Grantaire: Yes, and I’m sure that was the only ‘fresh’ thing…

Enjolras: What? That doesn’t even make sense! Are you drunk?

Grantaire: How could I be? There’s no alcohol on this forsaken island!

Cosette:: I saw some grape vines yesterday, perhaps we could ferment them?

Grantaire: Cosette:, I take back every mean thing I’ve ever said about you.

Cosette:: You’ve said mean things about me?

Grantaire: Um… No?

Cosette:: Good then!

Grantaire: Okay, first thing after breakfast, grapes! Who’s with me?

Gavroche: I’ll go!

Eponine: No, no alcohol for you!

Gavroche: But what about grape juice? Grape juice is healthy!

Grantaire: What? You can drink unfermented grapes? Surely you jest!

Gavroche: Hmm, I wonder if this is just going to be a bad Gilligan’s Island sort of thing, where we never get off the island.

Eponine: Well, it’s not like France was so great.

Enjolras: Which is why we have to find a way back so we can have a revolution.

Valjean: Wait, I’m confused. We’re in the twenty-first century now right? Cause of the weird writer woman?

Courfeyrac: Hmm, I guess so.

Valjean: So then France is just hunky-dory.

Enjolras: Good point.

Valjean: So let the good times roll.
