Les Mis�rables Performing... Les Mis�rables?

Part 3

Vive le Revolution!!!

The Next Morning

Me: (annoyingly perky) Did we all have a nice rest last night?

Javert: ::rubbing his eyes:: It�s too blasted early, go away.

Me: Oh, did you all have a late night?

Valjean: Well-

Me: Because when I woke up there were fourteen messages on my answering machine complaining about the noise level of all my �loud, obnoxious friends�!

Javert: We�re hardly friends�

Me: Oh shut up Javert. If I get grounded because of you I swear-

Javert: Oh, you�ll beat us up?

Me: The next thing you�ll perform will be Teletubbies.

Javert: Ah, no!!!

Me: Yeah! But, I had a wonderful night�s sleep so I�ll leave you be. Okay, who�s up for breakfast?

All: Me!

Me: Then I�ll make pancakes!

Javert: And the gamin can check to make sure they�re not poisoned.

Marius: She should make French toast. Get it, French toast!

Javert: I�m going to shove this eggbeater down his throat.

Marius: Get it? French!

Javert: Insolent little-

Enjolras: Javert, it�s early calm yourself.

Javert: ::grumble, grumble::

Eponine: I�ll get the orange juice

Marius: Get it? FRENCH?!

Cosette: I�ll set the table

Valjean: I�ll get the bread

Javert: Oh, Valjean, too easy, too easy�

Valjean: I meant for toasting and the such, and out of the breadbox, I wasn�t going to steal it!

Javert: Sure you weren�t�

Valjean: Argh!

Combeferre: We should go find some folding chairs, there are a lot of us.

Courfeyrac: Good idea.

Javert: And Valjean will get the bread, ha!

Marius: French!!!

After a very good and filling breakfast

Me: Now back to work!

All: No!

Me: Yes!!!

All: Doh!

Me: Okay, so we finished with �A Heart Full of Love�

Eponine: Thank goodness

Me: So, onto the Attack on Rue Plumet

Eponine: Oh, that was like my only cool song! Bimbette has no cool songs!

Cosette: You�re right about that, I have like the fewest lines in the play

Me: Just do it

Cosette (as Eponine): 'Parnasse, what are you doing
So far out of our patch?
A patch? Like a garden patch? Cause we have one of those!

Grantaire (as Montparnasse): This house, we're going to do it�
�Perhaps a fortune put away!

Cosette (as Eponine): Oh Lord, somebody help me! Why?
Dear God, what'll I do? Wait, I don�t get what�s happening!
He'll think this is an ambush Oh, I get it
He'll think I'm in it too! You probably were.

What'll I do, what'll I say? I don�t care
I've got to warn them here Them? Oh, Marius, that�s us!
I've got to find a way. Still not caring�

[Thenardier arrives with the rest of his gang. He notices Cosette (as Eponine) but doesn't recognize her.]

Brujon: What have we here?

Thenardier: Who is this hussy?

Cosette: I am not a hussy! Daddy, he called me a hussy!!!

Babet: It's your brat Eponine

Cosette: I am not a brat either!!!

Babet: Don't you know your own kid Why's she hanging about you?

Thenardier: 'Ponine, get on home You're not needed in this We're enough here without you

Cosette (as Eponine): I know this house You brought Marius here!
I tell you there's nothing here for you Actually, we were rich
Just the old man and the girl You�re not old daddy
They live ordinary lives Not quite ordinary

Thenardier: Don't interfere
You've got some gall
Take care, young miss,
You've got a lot to say!

Brujon: She's going soft

Cosette: Marius says that my skin is silky and soft, does that count?

Claquesous: Happens to all

Grantaire (as Montparnasse): Go home, 'Ponine,
Go home, you're in the way

Cosette (as Eponine): I'm gonna scream, I'm gonna warn them here�
Well I told you I'd do it, told you I'd do it...

[She screams.]

Marius: You scream so well Cosette

Cosette: Thank you Marius!

Enjolras (as Marius): It was your cry sent them away Darn you
Once more 'Ponine saving the day I was talking to Eponine!
Dearest Cosette, my friend 'Ponine is whom I�d rather be talking to!
Brought me to you, showed me the way! Argh!

Someone is near
Let's not be seen
Somebody's heeeeeaaaaaaaaeeeere...

Cosette: Oh, I love that note!

Marius: Hey!

Cosette: I meant when you sing it!!!

Marius: ::grumble, grumble::

[Enjolras (as Marius) leaves quickly as Javert (as Valjean) enters.]

Javert (as Valjean): My God, Cosette you�re so annoying!
I heard a cry in the dark You scream like a dying cat
I heard the shout of angry voices in the street. Yelling at you to shut up

Eponine (as Cosette): That was my cry you heard, Papa. I really am annoying
I was afraid of what they'd do. To make me shut up
They ran away when they heard my cry Because it sounded like nails on a chalkboard.

Javert (as Valjean): Cosette, my child, what will become of you? Will you survive when you�re soooo annoying?

Eponine (as Cosette): Three men I saw beyond the wall I asked them if they wanted to see our garden.
Three men in shadow moving fast to escape my screeching

Javert (as Valjean): This is a warning to us all to put a muzzle on you
These are the shadows of the past telling me I shouldn�t have adopted a scruffy orphan!
Must be Javert! Did you think you could ever escape me?
He's found my cover at last! Was there ever any doubt?
I've got to get Cosette away Fat chance
Before they return! Oh, (in best Terminator voice) I�ll be back!
We must get away from shadows Oh, I�m real Valjean.
They will never let us be You�re the one who broke the law
Tomorrow to Calais I�ll follow you there
Then a ship across the sea! I�ll be there too!
Hurry, Cosette, prepare to leave and say no more ever, you�re soooo annoying
Tomorrow we'll away! I�ll find you
Hurry, Cosette, it's time to close another door I�ve got the key

Valjean: What?

Javert: Get it? I�m like the jailer? Oh, forget it.
And live another day! �On Your Own�, right Valjean?

Eponine: Hey man, you can�t make fun of my song!

Javert: Yeah? What are you going to do about it?

Eponine: Beat you up, down, and all around!

Javert: Whatever

Me: People, please, this is like the best song in the musical, please, do it right!

Javert (as Valjean): One day more, before I go completely blind
Another day, another destiny, Like mayor, RIGHT Valjean?!
This never ending road to Calvary; and Toulon prison
These men who seem to know my crime Of course they know you�re crime, you�re on all the milk cartons!
Will surely come a second time, And a third and a fourth
One day more... Till I have to get a hip replacement

Enjolras (as Marius): I did not live until today,
How can I live when we are parted?
Good question�

Javert (as Valjean): One day more... before I have to get a cane

Enjolras (as Marius) & Eponine (as Cosette): Tomorrow you'll be worlds away, And hopefully the writer lady will be too
And yet with you, my world has started. Blech!

Cosette (as Eponine): One more day all on my own Keep your filthy hands off my Marius!

Enjolras (as Marius) & Eponine (as Cosette): Will we ever meet again? Ewww, you can keep him and his poofy hair!

Cosette (as Eponine): One more day with him not caring You got that right slore!

Enjolras (as Marius) & Eponine (as Cosette): I was born to be with you. Oh, I�ll show you a slore!

Cosette (as Eponine): What a life I might have known I do know it, ha!

Enjolras (as Marius) & Eponine (as Cosette): And I swear I will be true! And I pity you because of it.

Cosette (as Eponine): But he never saw me there... because you were short and dirty and-

Javert (as Valjean): �One day more! Before I need a hearing aid!

Valjean (as Javert): One more day till revolution, Stop making old jokes about me!
We will nip it in the bud! Do you really talk like this weirdo?
I will join these little schoolboys, and get caught
They will wet themselves with blood! Ewwww�

Javert (as Valjean): One day more! Till all my hair falls out
�Tomorrow we'll be far away, Tsk, tsk, running?
Tomorrow is the judgment day Yes, yours, buahahaha!

All: Tomorrow we'll discover
What our God in Heaven has in store!
One more dawn
One more day
One day more!

[The curtain falls.]

Grantaire: FINALLY!

Me: That was pretty great guys, though I could have done without all the biting side remarks.

Javert: So sorry about that�

Me: Shut up!

Cosette: Marius, Enjolras is leering at me, make him stop!

Enjolras: What? I am doing no such thing-

Marius: I know you love my wife Enjolras, but I must insist that you keep your eyes and your hands to yourself.

Enjolras: My hands?! What the devil are you talking about?

Eponine: (whispering) Forget �truth or dare� already?

Enjolras: (a faint pink coming to his cheeks) Oh, merde�

Eponine: I guess she didn�t forget after all

Enjolras: Eponine, you�ll pay for this!

Eponine: You�re going to hit a girl?

Enjolras: Never! But I am not against tickling one!

Eponine: Enjolras, no, don�t tickle me!

Enjolras: ::advancing menacingly:: You brought this on yourself Eponine.

Eponine: No, think about gentlemanly things, like cravats and um,-

Enjolras: Too late Ponine

Eponine: No!

Enjolras: Yes! ::Enjolras proceeds to pin her to the couch in tickling hysterics as she tries to do the same to him::

Javert: Now that is disgusting�

Marius: I know!

Javert: Oh, like you can talk poofy hair!

Courfeyrac: Why doesn�t he just marry her already?

Grantaire: Bachelor party!

Combeferre: Oh, like you would get married after knowing someone for such a brief time?

Courfeyrac: Well, then why doesn�t he make her his mistress, and then, eventually, marry her?

Grantaire: Because he has morals, remember?

Courfeyrac: Oh, yeah�

Eponine: ::still in the tickling war:: Surrender!

Enjolras: Never! The barricade must not fall!

Gavroche: ::sticking his finger down his throat:: Blech!

Valjean: Okay, I�m going to lose those �pancakes� we just ate.

Fantine: Oh, hush, it�s cute

Javert: And not as disgusting as some people are

Marius: I think he�s talking about us sweeting

Cosette: I think you�re right pookybear

Enjolras: ::getting the upper hand in the war:: Say that Enjolras is the greatest leader of the insurrection ever

Eponine: Enjolras is the greatest leader of the insurrection ever!

Enjolras: And say that Eponine bows down before Enjolras and all his greatness

Eponine: Eponine bows down before Enjolras and all his greatness

Enjolras: Now say that-

Marius: Just stop the charade Enjolras, we all know you love Cosette!

Enjolras: ::stopping his tickling momentarily to stare at Marius blankly, as does Eponine and pretty much everybody else.:: Wha-

Me: Did I miss something?

Eponine: ::taking advantage of the pause in tickling to get the upper hand with Enjolras.:: Just me defeating the �great revolutionary leader�!!!

Enjolras: No!

Eponine: Now how does it feel to be on the bottom?

Enjolras: Ah, stop, let me up!

Eponine: Say that Eponine is the most beautiful girl in the whole world.

Enjolras: Ah, Eponine is the, stop it, most beautiful girl in the whole world

Eponine: And she�s much prettier than Cosette.

Enjolras: She is oh so much prettier than Cosette.

Cosette: Um, hey!

Eponine: And you wish that you could marry her but you know that you never can because she is sooo much smarter and better than you are so you must just live in solitude for the rest of your life wishing that you could be with your one true love Eponine!

Enjolras: Can you run that by me again?

Eponine: Enjolras!

Enjolras: I�m kidding, please, just let me up! I can�t breathe!

Cosette: They�re both in denial

Marius: That�s a river in-

Javert: I WILL DESTROY YOU PONTMERCY, ARGH!!!!!

Enjolras: Ah, who has the upper hand now Eponine?

Eponine: Argh!

Courfeyrac: Uh oh, I see it coming

Combeferre: We should have known

Grantaire: Cover Gavroche�s eyes

Feuilly: This really isn�t all that surprising

Jehan: It was so obvious

Joly: Sooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Yes, of course, somehow, Eponine and Enjolras wind up kissing. I mean, that�s where tickling always leads, isn�t it?

Gavroche: Okay, now that is really, really gross!!!

Marius: You guys, we all know that Eponine loves me and Enjolras loves Cosette. You guys are just kidding yourselves. Just stop so we can have an adult conversation about this. ::they don�t stop:: Um, Enjolras, Eponine? ::poking them:: Hey!

Enjolras: (obviously agitated) What?!

Eponine: Marius!

Marius: I�m just trying to spare you from making a big mistake.

Eponine: We were in the middle of something Marius!

Me: You were making out on my couch!

Enjolras: It was not making out!

Eponine: We were just having an innocent kiss!

Enjolras: Who knows what Marius and Cosette were doing in your guest bed?

Me: Eww, ugh, please, stop, no, horrible mental picture, stop, AHHHHHHH!

Grantaire: Eponine and Enjolras sitting on a couch, k-i-s-s-i-n-g!

Enjolras: Grantaire!

Me: People, please!

Enjolras: Marius, I am going to say this very slowly and carefully so that you understand! I do not love Cosette. Eponine does not love you! ::glancing at Eponine with a little hesitation:: Right?

Eponine: (taking less than a moment to decide) Right

Enjolras: (smiling, relieved) Right!

Marius: ::cou-denial-gh::

Enjolras: You are so dense!!!

Marius: Whatever�

Me: Next song please.

Grantaire: Don�t we deserve a break, we deserve a 15-minute intermission!!!

Me: Not really

Grantaire: But-

Valjean: We did finish half of the play�

Me: Don�t you start!

Javert: Short break?

Me: Argh, fine, do you pigs want brunch?

Courfeyrac: I want cantaloupe!

Me: Okay, I�ll just get cantaloupe.

Marius: Enjolras and Eponine �Can�t elope�! Get it? Cantaloupe? Ha!!!

Javert: Someone kill me now!

Thenardier: If you insist�

Javert: Figure of speech, figure of speech!

Marius: Hey Eponine, what�s up today? I haven�t seen you much about-

Eponine: Cut the corniness, ugh, I can�t believe I ever liked you!

Marius: Cantaloupe, ha!

Eponine: Oy.

After much eating of cantaloupe

Me: Now back to work!

[Marius (as Enjolras) is addressing the revolutionaries.]

Marius (as Enjolras): Here upon these stones Oooh, pretty rocks
We will build our barricade Oh, now it�s our barricade
In the heart of the city A heart full of love
We claim as our own! And I name it Cosetteville!
Each man to his duty
And don't be afraid.
::cou-Jehan-gh::
Wait! I will need a report on dinosaurs for my teacher by Monday!
On the strength of the foe. What�s a foe?

Valjean (as Javert): [disguised as a rebel]
I can find out the truth
No, don�t listen to me!
I know their ways Cause I�m one of them!
Fought their wars with them!
Served my time And it was a loooooong time
In the days
Of my youth!
Yeah, I was in the war against the dinosaurs.

Me: What is with the dinosaurs?

Javert: The boy and 24601 have probably been watching too much Barney.

Me: Doesn�t it get annoying saying �24601� all the time? That�s like ::counting on fingers:: five syllables! You should call him something else!

Javert: That�s the one non-brainless idea you�ve come up with since I first entered your tortured mind.

Me: Thank you, thank you�

Javert: So, 24601, what should I call you?

Marius: (Apparently on stupid-pills, mocking Javert) So what should I call you now 24601, if that is your real name? Hahahahaha!!!

Javert: Someone put him out of his misery

Montparnasse: Gladly

Cosette: You stay away from my huggybear you-, you-, you hooligan!

Montparnasse: Oh, I�m so offended�

Javert: That�s it, from now on I will call you-

Valjean: How about you call me Jean Valjean?

Javert: Never! I�m going to call you something really stupid!

Eponine: How bout Cosette?

Javert: No, worse, (insert dramatic pause here) Furby!!!

Valjean: Have you gone insane? You�re going to call me Furby?!

Javert: Yes Furby, I am!

Me: Okay, anyway�

Valjean: Oh, darn, I lost count, what was it?

Me: Oh shut up Furby!

Valjean: Not you too!

Me: People, get on with this!

[Enjolras (as Marius) spots Cosette (as Eponine), who is dressed as a boy.]

Enjolras (as Marius): Hey little boy, what's this I see?
God Eponine, the things you do! Oh, it�s you again Cosette.

Cosette (as Eponine): I know this is no place for me Oh, stop leering
Still I would rather be with you. Ha, not!

Enjolras (as Marius): Get out before the trouble starts Just plain get out of here!
Get out, 'Ponine, you might get shot If only it had been you to get shot Cosette.

Cosette (as Eponine): I got you worried, now I have
That shows you like me quite a lot I said stop leering at me!

Enjolras (as Marius): There is a way that you can help Yeah, shut up!
You are the answer to a prayer for something annoying
Please take this letter to Cosette And beat yourself with it
And pray to God that she's still there!

[She walks to the Rue Plumet...]

Cosette (as Eponine): Little you know...
Little you care!
Actually, I think you care a little too much

[...where she meets Javert (as Valjean).]

I have a letter M'sieur Hey, you�re not my daddy!
It's addressed to your daughter Cosette Me!
It's from a boy at the barricade, Sir who won�t stop gawking at me!
In the Rue de Villette.

Javert (as Valjean): Give me that letter here, my boy Shut up!

Cosette (as Eponine): He said to give it to Cosette Punk police inspector

Javert (as Valjean): You have my word that my daughter will know how to sing one day
What this letter contains.

[He gives her a coin.]

Tell the young man she will read it tomorrow Oh, I didn�t think either of them could read.
And here's for your pains Your pains? How about my pains for having to listen to you?!!
Go careful now, stay out of sight Yeah, you�re ugly
There's danger in the streets tonight. Why don�t you get caught in the middle of it?

Valjean: If Javert doesn�t stop making fun of my daughter I�m going to have to get physical.

Fantine: ::raising her eyebrows:: Really Jean? Get physical?

Javert (as Valjean): [He opens the letter... and reads it.]

"Dearest Cosette, you have entered my soul Blech!
And soon you will be gone. With any luck that is
Can it be only a day since we met Actually, in the book you knew each other for quite a long time.
And the world was reborn? Wait, you mean the world had died?
If I should fall in the battle to come we�d all be lucky
Let this be my goodbye Finally!
Now that I know you love me as well I�m surprised
It is harder to die... My skull is too thick for bullets to get through
I pray that god will bring me home
To be with you.
In a blissful state of idiocy
Pray for your Marius, he prays for you!" to learn how to sing

[Javert (as Valjean) goes in, leaving Cosette (as Eponine) alone.]

Eponine: No, no, no, no, NO!!!! Cosette can�t have my song!!!

Cosette (as Eponine): And now I'm all alone again Yeah, that�s nothing new
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to especially Marius.
Without a home without a friend Hm, I wonder why
Without a face to say hello to shouldn�t that be �bonjour�?
And now the night is near
I can make believe he's here
You had better not be referring to my Marius!

Eponine: Please, if you have any compassion, don�t let her sing my song!

Me: Cosette, seeing as this is many people�s favorite song, no side comments, I�ll even let you make fun of A Little Fall of Rain, but leave this song alone.

Cosette: Fine. ::she sings the song without making fun of it at all::

Marius: Oh, Cosette, that was such a nice thing you did!

Cosette: Everyone always seems to forget that I am the nice one! I had so many good things I could say, like after And I can live inside my head I could have said �At least something is in your head�, you know, as if she had no brain.

Eponine: Why I oughtta-

Cosette: And at I'm talking to myself and not to him, I had this great crack about crazy people! Oh and at the part where she says-

Me: That�s quite enough Cosette, thank you for not saying any of those things

Cosette: You�re welcome.

Me: Okay, students sing Upon These Stones!

Students: Now we pledge ourselves to hold this barricade�
�Let them come if they dare
We'll be there!

Army Officer [Offstage]: You at the barricade listen to this

Marius: What, are they playing music or something?

No one is coming to help you to fight

Marius: No one? Awww, man!

You're on your own

Eponine: On my own�

You have no friends

Cosette: No sir, you must be thinking of Eponine. She has no friends!

Eponine: Prissy little-

Give up your guns - or die!

Marius: Is that a threat? I can�t believe you�re threatening us like that!

Marius (as Enjolras): Damn their warnings, damn their lies Enjolras, the profanity!
They will see the people rise! Like bread?

Students: Damn their warnings, damn their lies

Marius: Wow, I can�t believe you all use such profanity.

Students: They will see the people rise! No, not like bread Marius!

[Valjean (as Javert) climbs over the barricade.]

Valjean (as Javert): Listen my friends I�m going to sing with a really deep voice
I have done as I said Which was what exactly?
I have been to their lines And they�re long, I got sick of waiting�
I have counted each man Yeah, I ran out of fingers and they all looked at me funny when I took off my shoes
I will tell what I can but my Alzheimer�s is starting to act up, so ask quickly
Better be warned that my feet really stink
They have armies to spare and leggies, haha
And the danger is real unless those are toy guns, but they looked pretty real to me, and that canon, oy!
We will need all our cunning Um, I don�t have any, how bout you?
To bring them to heel. Heel, foot, feet,�I wonder if their feet stink too?

Marius (as Enjolras): Have faith Oh, now he starts preaching on religion�
If you know what their movements are we can win at chess
We'll spoil their game King me!
There are ways that a people can fight Well, yeah, they�re people too aren�t they? Wait, don�t tell me we�re fighting some freaky alien race?!
We shall overcome their power Ah, I hope they don�t have lasers!

Valjean (as Javert): I have overheard their plans Barely, hearing-aid and all
There will be no attack tonight

Jehan: Good, I�m scared of the dark

Valjean (as Javert): They intend to starve us out And no, I am not going to go steal some bread for us, so just shut up now Javert!
Before they start a proper fight Oh yes, none of that improper fighting.
Concentrate their force Like orange juice�

Marius: ::laughs::

Hit us from the right. Or the left, let�s see index finger and thumb make an L, so that�s left, oops�

Gavroche: Liar!
Good evening, dear inspector�
�So you'd better run for cover
When the pup grows up!

Me: Oh my goodness, you are the most adorable thing I have ever seen! Please, please let me pinch your cheeks! Oh, sooo cute!

Gavroche: Stay away from me woman!

Me: Oh, I want to hug you!!! Come here!!!

Gavroche: Ah, Javert, she�s harassing me! Make her leave me alone!

Javert: You are not my problem gamin

Valjean: Can we get on with this?

Montparnasse (as Grantaire): Bravo, little Gavroche, you're the top of the class!

Jehan: So what are we going to do
With this snake in the grass?
Ah, a snake, save me!!!

Valjean (as Javert): Shoot me now or shoot me later or not at all, that�s fine you know�
Every schoolboy to his sport I personally like cricket
Death to each and every traitor Oh, harsh
I renounce your people's court! Oh, dissed!

Combeferre: Though we may not all survive here I hope we don�t get voted off
There are things that never die Um, surely not us though�

Montparnasse (as Grantaire): What's the difference? Die a schoolboy Wasted life in my opinion
Die a policeman die a spy! Die spy, die!!!

Marius (as Enjolras): Take this man, bring him through
There is work we have to do!
This revolution isn�t over yet? Man!

[Valjean (as Javert) is bundled away as the first shots ring out. Cosette (as Eponine) enters, wounded.]

Joly: There's a boy climbing the barricade! Actually, it looks more like a girl trying to climb the barricade. You need some help Cosette?

Cosette: (struggling to climb barricade) No, I�m good, oops! ::she slips, falls:: I�m fine, I�m good, really, thanks for caring.

Enjolras: Can we just do this scene? I�m not too keen on this whole �kissing you at the end� thing.

Cosette: Oh, you know you�ve been waiting the whole musical for this chance pervert!

Enjolras: Yeah, sure�

Me: People!

Cosette: ::climbing the barricade, with much assistance from various amis:: Oof!

Enjolras (as Marius): Good God! What are you doing? Wow, you really couldn�t climb a six foot barricade?
'Ponine, have you no fear? Or stamina, my goodness, it�s only six feet!
Have you seen my beloved? No, I don�t mean you, and no, I am not a pervert
Why have you come back here? Yeah, come on, will you just leave, my goodness, you�re like a bad rash.

Cosette (as Eponine): Took the letter like you said You�re cruel, making me climb the barricade like that, I�m a lady!
I met her father at the door He was uglier than my real father
He said he would give it I don�t trust him though, I mean, can you really trust anybody with such sideburns?
[She collapses]
Don't think I can stand any more.
Wow, yeah, let me rest, that barricade was high�

Enjolras (as Marius): Eponine, what's wrong? I feel... sick, you look terrible
There's something wet upon your hair Eww, are you sweating?
[There is blood on his hands]
Eponine, you're hurt
You should try some cardiovascular or something
You need some help! A good personal trainer maybe
Oh God, it's everywhere.... Yeah, gyms, springing up in every strip mall

Cosette (as Eponine): Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius M�sieur Marius? How dare you speak to my husband the baron so informally, I think we should all gasp!
I don't feel any pain My body is too full of lactic acid
A little fall of rain will ruin my new perm!
Can hardly hurt me now well, if it were acid rain�
You're here, that's all I need to know Marius, how come I was never told of this little t�te-�-t�te?
And you will keep me safe from Enjolras�s leering, oh wait, that�s right, you�re the one who is leering at me, pervert!
And you will keep me close Slore, you use every opportunity, don�t you?
And rain will make the flowers grow. Yeah, that�s what rain usually does�

Enjolras (as Marius): But you will live, 'Ponine - dear God above... just let her die already, she�s getting me bloody!

Cosette: Shut up!

Enjolras (as Marius): If I could close your wounds with words of love... I would speak none to you Cosette.

Cosette (as Eponine): Just hold me now, and let it be. Keep your grubby hands off of me!
Shelter me, comfort me... Oh, I�m watching your hands dirtbag!

Enjolras (as Marius): You would live really far away, if I had my way
A hundred years after I had died
If I could show you how to pack, would you leave faster?
I won't desert you now... Actually, I do have a prior engagement, I didn�t realize how long this would take�

Cosette (as Eponine): The rain can't hurt me now I wonder what the acid content is?
This rain will wash away what's past Well, at least it�s refreshing me from that grueling climb
And you will keep me safe No�
And you will keep me close No�
I'll sleep in your embrace at last Whoa, so definitely NO!!!
The rain that brings you here
Is Heaven-blessed!
Oh yes, murdering bullets, definitely blessed by heaven�
The skies begin to clear Ow, sun, burning my eyes!
And I'm at rest So sleepy ::snores::
A breath away from where you are First a whisper away, now a breath, why is there no real unit of measure? Not a foot, not an inch, a breath! Poetic license my butt!
I've come home from so far probably a bad idea though�
So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius Msr le Baron to you!
I don't feel any pain

Enjolras: Aw, that�s a shame�

Cosette (as Eponine): ::makes face at him and continues::
A little fall of rain is ruining my perm!!!
Can hardly hurt me now Acid�
That's all I need to know What? Oh, counterpoint�
And you will keep me safe No
And you will keep me close No
And rain acid, acid, acid, acid�
Will make the flowers... Why does no one ever finish their songs when they die? I think she was holding back, if she really tried she could have said grow, she�s such a ham!

Enjolras (as Marius): [in counterpoint]
Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine Hush a bye? What the-?
You won't feel any pain Oh, so being shot doesn�t hurt, good to know
A little fall of rain collected in a bowl
Can hardly hurt you now unless I pour it down your throat
I'm here for three more minutes, that�s all I�m contracted for

I will stay with you for two minutes and 50 seconds
Till you are sleeping unless it takes more than 2 minutes and 40 seconds
And rain why not? Acid, acid, acid, acid!
Will make the flowers... Oh look, I�m actually going to finish my part!
Grow. Ah, anticlimactic really�

[She dies. Enjolras (as Marius) kisses her, then lays her on the ground.]

Enjolras: Yeah, that whole �kisses her� part. I don�t really feel that is necessary for my character.

Marius: No, it shows what a darn nice guy I am!

Enjolras: I�m not going to kiss that woman that you call a wife!

Marius: What if I called her a husband? Hahahaha!!!

Enjolras: Yeah�

Me: Come on, a little peck on the forehead isn�t going to hurt you!

Enjolras: ::grumble, grumble:: I hate you ::he kisses her hurriedly on the forehead, grimaces, and then drops her to the ground unceremoniously::

Cosette: Ow!

Marius (as Enjolras): She is the first to fall you dropped her on her head!
The first of us to fall upon this barricade I�m so proud that she was able to climb it ::beams::

Enjolras (as Marius): Her name was Eponine No, it was Cosette
Her life was cold and dark, yet she was unafraid� And her head was clammy and left a bad aftertaste

[Javert (as Valjean) arrives, dressed as a soldier.]

Joly: �You've got some years behind you sir.

Javert (as Valjean): Oh, I can�t pass up this opportunity for an old joke! Man, they told him he was old right to his face! Dissed! There's much that I can do. As long as it only includes rocking in a chair and smoking a pipe

Joly: You see that prisoner over there?

Javert: No, these cataracts, it�s hard

Valjean: I�m not that much older than you! Your hair is just as gray as mine!

Javert: Nope, you are really old

Montparnasse (as Grantaire): A volunteer like you! Volunteer work always gets you into trouble�

Combeferre: A spy who calls himself Javert!

Javert: You act as if it isn�t my name!

Montparnasse (as Grantaire): He's going to get it too... Oh, I like the sound of that ::grins maliciously::

Sentry: They're getting ready to attack!

[Marius (as Enjolras) gives Javert (as Valjean) a gun.]

Marius (as Enjolras): Take this and use it well! You do know how to use a gun right? Because otherwise, by law I shouldn�t really give it to you.
But if you shoot us in the back, it�ll hurt, don�t do that!
You'll never live to tell. My, the threats Enjolras!

Random Voices: (gotta love those guys)
Platoon of sappers advancing toward the barricade!
Troops behind them, fifty men or more!

Marius (as Enjolras): FIRE! Ah, where? 911, 911!!!

[Gunfire is heard.]

Javert: No duh�

Feuilly: Sniper!

::silence, all look at Javert expectantly::

Javert: Oh, my line? I was just waiting for the snide side comment

All: Oh�

[Javert (as Valjean) shoots a sniper who is aiming at Marius (as Enjolras).]

Lesgles: See how they run away!

Javert: Aw, that�s not very nice making fun of Furby�s cataracts like that! You know he can�t see!

Valjean: My name is not Furby!

Marius: ::bursts out laughing:: Furby, I get it, hahaha!

Montparnasse (as Grantaire): By God we've won the day! Yeah, a little premature on that eh?

Marius (as Enjolras): They will be back again, Man, make them go away!
Make an attack again. This stinks!

[To Javert (as Valjean).]

For your presence of mind

Javert: Oh, too easy

For the deed you have done What deed?
I will thank you M'sieur I don�t get it�
When our battle is won. Ha, he knew he was going to die! That�s like when you know you�re going to die so you make lots of promises and buy expensive things cause you know you won�t have to worry about it, because you�re going to die!!!!

Enjolras: Thank you so much for that�

Javert (as Valjean): Give me no thanks M'sieur
There is something that you can do.
Push around my wheelchair!

Marius (as Enjolras): If it is in my power... Ah, it doesn�t matter, he�s going to die!!!

Javert (as Valjean): Give me the spy Javert I am not some trophy, and I am not given to anyone!
Let me take care of him Aw, that�s nice, but you really should be the one getting taken care of, a nice retirement home perhaps?

Valjean (as Javert): The law is inside out so is your jacket, ha, made you look! The world is upside down

Javert: Only when you don�t have your glasses on Furby!

Marius (as Enjolras): Do what you have to do, Oh no! My daddy-in-law!
The man belongs to you. Wow, I wish I owned someone like that!

Enjolras: Not one word Eponine!

Eponine: But-

Enjolras: No

Eponine: Hrumph!

Marius (as Enjolras): The enemy may be regrouping. Hold yourself in readiness. Come my friends, back to your positions. The night is falling fast... Yeah, that whole statement? Kind of bossy. And not very reassuring. All in all, 6.7 on the PepTalkOMeter

Enjolras: Yeah�

[Javert (as Valjean) has taken Valjean (as Javert) away.]

Javert (as Valjean): We meet again. Wow, you remember? Must be one of your good days grandpa!

Valjean (as Javert): You've hungered for this all your life; Look, I�m nice, I could make a fat joke about this and I�m not going to!
Take your revenge!
How right you should kill with a knife!

[Javert (as Valjean) cuts the ropes which bind Valjean (as Javert).]

Javert (as Valjean): You talk too much, and no one understands what you say, must be the dentures.
Your life is safe in my hands. Yeah, they don�t tremble like yours.

Valjean (as Javert): I don't understand why you are so mean to me!

Javert (as Valjean): Get out of here. You really don�t know?

Valjean (as Javert): Valjean take care,
I'm warning you...
No, I really don�t!

Javert (as Valjean): Clear out of here. Must be that loss of brain capacity.

Valjean (as Javert): Once a thief, forever a thief Man, you never learn do you?
What you want you always steal! One lousy loaf of bread!
You would trade your life for mine. No, but I�d buy it for 2.99
Yes, Valjean you want a deal. Let�s Make A Deal!
Shoot me now for all I care! Actually, you don�t really have to
If you let me go beware. Of deer crossings
You'll still answer to Javert Stop talking in the third person you psycho!

Javert (as Valjean): You are wrong, and always have been wrong. No, I am always right! Always! I am never wrong! I am the law and the law is not mocked!
I'm a man, no worse than any man. Except in all of my bodily functions
You are free, and there are no conditions,
No bargains or petitions.
That I could hear because I�m deaf!
There's nothing that I blame you for. Man, you think you are sooo nice, don�t you?
You've done your duty, nothing more. Yes, my duty�s to the law!
If I come out of this alive, you'll find meAlive? I think you�ll probably have a heart attack first!
At number fifty-five Rue Plumet Hey, if you double your address you get your age!
No doubt our paths will cross again. You take the high road and I�ll take the low road and�

[Javert (as Valjean) fires his gun into the air, Valjean (as Javert) leaves quickly. Muted applause from the students who think Valjean (as Javert) has been shot.]

Javert: Don�t applaud over my death you hooligans!

Marius (as Enjolras): Courfeyrac, you take the watch I can�t read the time They won't attack until it's light We could really use a solar eclipse about now�
Everybody stay awake I have to take a nap
We must be ready for the fight What fight?
For the final fight Oh�, that fight
Let no one sleep tonight! But I�m tired!!!

[The defenders settle down for the night with wine and a song.]

Marius (as Enjolras): Marius, rest. Ha, I�m talking to myself, this is amusing

Feuilly: Drink with me
To days gone by�

Enjolras (as Marius): Do I care if I should die
Now she goes across the sea?
Wow, can you say lovesick?
Life without Cosette would be nice and quiet
Means nothing at all Yeah, lovesick, definitely�
Would you weep, Cosette, If you ever heard yourself on tape?
Should Marius fall? Why does everyone speak in the third person?!
Will you weep,
Cosette,
For me?

Cosette: Oh yes Marius, I would, I would! ::begins weeping::

[Enjolras (as Marius) settles down to sleep.]
[Javert (as Valjean) is standing over Enjolras (as Marius) at the barricade.]

Javert (as Valjean): God on high
Hear my prayer
Hopefully you have better hearing than me
In my need
You have always been there
He is young
I am not!
He's afraid he wet his pants!
Let him rest He�s sleeping, what more do you want?
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home
Bring him home
This line looks familiar
Bring him home. A bit redundant eh?
He's like the son I might have known If I was about 80 years younger
If God had granted me a son. And not that scruffy little urchin I call a daughter
The summers die They die? Wow, depressing
One by one
How soon they fly
They fly too? Odd�
On and on
And I am old
Ha, you�re making fun of yourself! You sure are!
And will be gone. Old, ha!
Bring him peace Oh, I always thought it was peas, I wondered why he would need vegetables.
Bring him joy
He is young
I am not!
He is only a boy and I am a very old man!
You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die
It will be about time
Let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Uh oh, redundancy alert
Bring him home Oh, I bet I know the next line!
Bring him home. Hey, I was right!

Valjean: You are evil

Javert: No, just mean

Marius (as Enjolras): The people have not stirred oh fudge it!
We are abandoned by those who still live in fear. Darn!
The people have not heard.

Javert: Maybe they�re old like Valjean

Yet we will not abandon those who cannot hear. We won�t?
Let us not waste lives Good idea!
Let all the women and fathers of children All the women? Man!

Cosette: Marius!

Marius: Sorry�

Cosette: You had better be!

Marius (as Enjolras): How do we stand, Feuilly?
Make your report.
Bossy ain�t we?

Feuilly: We've guns enough But ammunition short

Enjolras (as Marius): Let me go into the streets
There are bodies all around
Ammunition to be had
Lots of bullets to be found!
Well if that isn�t the most asinine suggestion I have ever

Marius (as Enjolras):I can�t let you go I won't let you go Jack, I�ll never let go (I never saw Titanic, sorry if that�s a little off)
It's too much of a chance.

Enjolras (as Marius): The same is true
For any man here!

Javert (as Valjean): Let me go
He's no more than a boy
And I am very, very old
I am old very, very old
I have nothing to fear because I�m old!

Valjean: Stop it!

Gavroche: You need somebody quicker And I volunteer!

[Gavroche climbs the barricade.]

Me: Wait, cut, no. I deleted this part from the musical because it is too sad.

Gavroche: What? But my death is cool, I�m young but I�m a fighter! Don�t take my brave end away from me!

Me: Fine, but I can�t be here when it happens or I�ll start crying a lot. Call me when you�re done ::leaves::

Gavroche: Well, um, okay. ::they do the scene, I wait outside doing mental casting for my next fanfiction::

Me: ::who has progressed from humming to all out singing:: Lord and Lady Hare, Fighting over there, Darling do beware, She�s a-

Gavroche: Okay, we�re done, you can come back in now.

Me: Thanks

Gavroche: (under his breath) Weenie

Marius (as Enjolras): Let us die facing our foes How about we don�t?
Make them bleed while we can Ew, blood, I think I�m going to be sick�

Combeferre: Make 'em pay through the nose This is my last line in the musical? The nose? This should be Joly�s line.

Courfeyrac: Make 'em pay for every man! I get the second to last line, cool!

Marius (as Enjolras): Let others rise
To take our place
Until the earth is free!

Me: Wait, cut. Marius, do you think you could do those lines with a more Warlowesque quality?

Marius: Warlowesque?

Me: Yeah, you know, like Anthony Warlow on the CSR?

Marius: I�ll try Let others rise
To take our place
Until the earth is free!

Me: Okay, yeah, that was exactly the same

Marius: SoOoOoOorry, man, you are so picky!

Me: Enjolras, would you be a dear and just do these last three lines? I just can�t think of anyone else doing them like you.

Enjolras: That�s very nice of you. Sure, why not. Let others riiiiiiiise
To take our place
Untiiiil the earth is free!!!

How was that?

Me: Wonderful! Amazingly happily wonderful!!! Thank you!!!

Enjolras: You�re welcome.

Me: But we�re going to cut out the part where all of you die, how bout that? Okay with everyone?

Enjolras: Um, no. You kind of have to die to become a martyr.

Me: But I don�t want you guys to die! Don�t die, please don�t die!

Combeferre: Sorry, but we have to do what we have to do.

Feuilly: It�s fate

Jehan: No escaping fate

Courfeyrac: We must die

Me: You guys are so brave and wonderful. I love you all!

Javert: Aren�t you a little young to be doing that? ::very angry scowling from Me::

Jehan: Oh no, she�s sweet.

Javert: She�s psychotic.

Me: That is why I love them and I dislike you. A lot.

Enjolras: But we still have to die.

Me: I understand ::begins crying as she types::

[Amidst increasingly heavy gunfire, Enjolras (as Marius) is shot. Marius (as Enjolras) is killed at the summit of the barricade. SOB All at the barricade are killed BOOHOO, except Enjolras (as Marius), who is wounded and unconscious, and Javert (as Valjean). Javert (as Valjean) discovers that Enjolras (as Marius) is still alive and carries him down into the sewers to escape. Valjean (as Javert) climbs over the barricade looking for Javert (as Valjean)'s body. Not finding it, he realizes that Javert (as Valjean) must be in the sewers, so he goes off to where he must emerge.]

Me: Do we even have to do the rest of the musical? All the good characters are dead.

Marius: Hey!

Cosette: Hey!

Javert: Hey!

Me: Yes, like I said, all the good characters are dead

Marius: Um, no.

Me: Fine, Javert does have a cool last song, we can at least do that one.

[As they emerge from the sewer, they meet Valjean (as Javert).]

Javert (as Valjean): It's you, Javert You remembered my name? Amazing!
I knew you wouldn't wait too long If I did you probably would have forgotten that you were hiding from me
The faithful servant at his post once more! You make me sound like a dog!
This man's done no wrong, Yeah, right, he�s a revolutionary! Not to mention he never shuts up about his lovey dovey relationship!

Cosette: Aww, I know, that�s why I love him!

Javert (as Valjean): And he needs a doctor's care. What he needs is a psychiatrist

Valjean (as Javert): I warned you I would not give in Yeah, big surprise
I won't be swayed Who could move you fatty?

Javert: Well that was uncharacteristic.

Valjean: I know, I�m sorry, I apologize. I�m just depressed about this whole �committing suicide� thing.

Javert (as Valjean): Another hour yet before I go blind!
And then I'm yours Just don�t make me do the Macarena! No, not again, never again!!!

Javert (as Valjean): And all our debts are paid. Yeah, I have this IOU for your soul�

Valjean: So you�re the devil now?

Javert: No! I work for God! Remember the Bishop �I have bought your soul for God�? Anyway, the Bishop lied, he stole your soul, and God wants it back.

Valjean: And I�m the senile one? You have problems Javert, you really, really do

Javert: Ah, you will see Valjean, you will see.

Valjean (as Javert): The man of mercy
Comes again
And talks of justice
Yes, I do, so there!

Javert (as Valjean): Come, time is running short Oh, I thought your race was not yet ru-uuuun
Look down, Javert Valjean, if you can even see your feet
He's standing in his grave I�m surprised you are even still standing
Give way, Javert Never!
There is a life to save. Yadda, yadda, yadda

Valjean (as Javert): Take him Valjean, Oh, never eh?
Before I change my mind

I will be waiting What a surprise
24601. Ah, at least it doesn�t say �Furby�

[Javert (as Valjean) carries Enjolras (as Marius) off.]

[Valjean (as Javert) walks the deserted streets until he comes to a bridge over the river Seine.]

Valjean (as Javert): Who is this man? Who am I?
What sort of devil is he? I am not the devil!
To have me caught in a trap Wow, you pretty much called yourself an animal
And choose to let me go free? Freedom is mine, I feel the wind�
�I am reaching, but I fall Hey, look, my soliloquy!
And the stars are black and cold. If it�s dark, how do you know that the stars are black? And since they�re just big balls of fiery gas, how could they possibly be cold? Where were you during Earth Science?
As I stare into the void Oh, hey, look my line!
Of a world that cannot hold Hold what?
I'll escape now from the world Oh yes, because it is chasing you. You are psychotic, go see a therapist!
From the world of Jean Valjean Cool, I have my own world?

Marius: Is it like DisneyWorld? I like to ride on the Dumbo!

Valjean (as Javert): There is nowhere I can turn No, Javert, look. I�m turning to the left. Now I�m turning to the right. Now I�m doing the twist!
There is no way to go ooooooooooooooonnnnnnnn... So I just stand here and wave my arms and pretend that I fell off the bridge?

Javert: Jumped. Jumped off the bridge.

Valjean: Fine, whatever �jumped�
[He throws himself into the swollen river.]

Me: Meanwhile, back with people who we don�t care about, played by people we do care about�

Cosette: Hey!

[Eponine (as Cosette) arrives to help Enjolras (as Marius) in his recovery.]

Eponine (as Cosette): Don't think about it, Marius. I didn�t know he could think. Oh, wait, that was mean. I�m acting out of character again, darn it!
With all the years ahead of us! All the many many years
I will never go away Oh, I pity you Marius, I really do
And we will be together
Every day. Every day,
Oh, that sounds like fun, I pity both of them
We'll remember that night

Valjean: Cosette!

Cosette: Daddy! Wait until the next line!

Eponine (as Cosette): And the vow that we made:

Cosette: See!

Valjean: Yeah, it better be just vows!

Eponine (as Cosette): `A heart full of love
A night full of you'
Hey, I don�t remember that line

The words are old

Javert: And so are you Valjean!

Valjean: Aren�t you dead yet?

Eponine (as Cosette): But always true
Oh, God, for shame
You did not even know my name.
Yeah �Cosette� that�s a great name

Enjolras (as Marius): Dear Mad'moiselle
I was lost in your spell.
Oh, so she�s a witch�?

Me: They�re starting to annoy me.

[Javert (as Valjean) enters, unnoticed.]

Eponine (as Cosette): A heart full of love
No fear no regret
`My name is Marius Pontmercy'
No, your name is Cosette dear.

Enjolras (as Marius): Cosette, Cosette! Look, I remembered your name, I�m so smart!

Eponine (as Cosette): I saw you waiting and I knew. Knew what? That you were a crazed stalker?

Valjean: Exactly! That�s what I was saying!

Enjolras (as Marius): Waiting for you
At your feet
Oh, so now he�s a dog

Eponine (as Cosette): At your call Oh, they�re both dogs

Both: And it wasn't a dream
Not a dream
After all

Javert (as Valjean): (interjections)
She was never mine to keep
Who would want her
She is youthful Not like Valjean, hehe
She is free. To bask in her stupidity
Love is the garden of the young What? And I�m the senile one?
Let it be
Let it be
Furby, you already said this line
A heart full of love
This I give you
On this day.
Would you like that heart full of love gift-wrapped? Ha!

[They notice Javert (as Valjean).]

Enjolras (as Marius): M'sieur, this is a day
I can never forget
Is gratitude enough
For giving me Cosette?

Javert: I wish you had taken the scruffy orphan years ago

Enjolras (as Marius): Your home shall be with us
And not a day shall pass
But we will prove our love
To you, whom we shall call
A father to us both
A father to us all.

Javert: Shouldn�t you not be getting married if you have the same father? Though that inbreeding would explain a lot�

[Eponine (as Cosette) leaves.]

Javert (as Valjean): Not another word my son, Luke, I am your father!
There's something now that must be done I have to smack some sense into you!
You've spoken from the heart Yeah, your brain couldn�t form words, it has trouble with that

�There lived a man named Jean Valjean And�
He stole some bread to save his sister's son That�s nephew, poofy hair boy, I don�t want you to have to strain yourself
For nineteen winters served his time But not in the summer, no, the they had vacation
In sweat he washed away his crime Ewww
Years ago I could actually hear
He broke parole and lived a life apart
How could he tell Cosette and break her heart?
It's for Cosette that this must be faced
If he is caught she is disgraced
The time is come to journey on
And from this day he must be gone
Who am I?
Ah, he�s forgotten who is he is again
Who am I? And now he�s repeating himself, poor boy, the mind is going�

Enjolras (as Marius): You're Jean Valjean! Wow, that was a tough one
What can I do
That will turn you from this?
Monsieur, you cannot leave
Whatever I tell my beloved Cosette
Eww, �beloved� and �Cosette� don�t seem to belong together
She will never believe!�

[Enjolras (as Marius) and Eponine (as Cosette) lead a wedding procession.]

Combeferre: My lord, Enjolras has gotten married! What is the world coming to?

[The procession becomes a dancing celebration. A waltz is played.]�
[Javert (as Valjean) is alone in the shadows, with a bare wooden cross for company.]

Javert (as Valjean): Alone I wait in the shadows I don�t need light, wouldn�t be able to see either way
I count the hours till I can sleep Is this musical over yet?
I dreamed a dream Cosette stood by I smacked her
It made her weep to know I die. So I smacked her
Alone at the end of the day This musical is sooo long!
Upon this wedding night I pray When you die early, you don�t realize how long
Take these children, my Lord, to thy embrace soooo long
And show them grace. Can I sleep now?

God on high Hey, this song again
Hear my prayer This is familiar�
Take me now
To thy care
It�s about time
Where You are
Let me be
Take me now
Take me there
Bring me home
Bring me home.
Argh! Why do you have to be so repetitive!

[Fantine's spirit appears to Javert (as Valjean).]

Fantine: M'sieur, I bless your name
M'sieur, lay down your burden
You raised my child in love
And you will be with God.

Javert (as Valjean): (interjecting)
I am ready, Fantine
Ah! A dead prostitute!
At the end of my days A ghost!
She's the best of my life. I�m going to faint now

[Enjolras (as Marius) and Eponine (as Cosette) rush into the room, but they do not see Fantine.]

Eponine (as Cosette): Papa, papa, I do not understand! When have you ever?
Are you alright? They said you'd gone away.

Javert (as Valjean): Cosette, my child, am I forgiven now?
Thank God, thank God, I've lived to see this day.
It�s amazing considering how old I am

Valjean: I am about this close to beating someone up.

Javert (as Valjean), Fantine, and Cosette (as Eponine): Take my hand
And lead me to salvation
Take my love
For love is everlasting.
And remember
The truth that once was spoken
To love another person
Is to see the face of God!

Chorus: Do you hear the people sing
Lost in the valley of the night
It is the music of a people
Who are climbing to the light

For the wretched of the earth
There is a flame that never dies
Even the darkest night will end
And the sun will rise.

They will live again in freedom
In the garden of the Lord
They will walk behind the plough-share
They will put away the sword
The chain will be broken
And all men will have their reward!

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes!
Tomorrow comes!
Tomorrow comes!

[The curtain falls.]

::The entire cast starts dancing with glee that they are finally done.::

Valjean: We did it!

Javert: We�re done!

Eponine: It�s finally over!

Javert: I don�t have to be a really old convict!

Valjean: I don�t have to be a heartless fool!

Cosette: I don�t have to be a scruffy urchin!

Eponine: I don�t have to be an airhead!

Enjolras: I don�t have to be a poofy-headed romantic!

Marius: I don�t have to be a drop-dead gorgeous revolutiona-wait-darn it!

::Less than ten minutes later they�re all in a big group drinking and swapping �war stories�::

Cosette: Hey, they made me climb a barricade!

Javert: At least you didn�t have to be saintly old man.

Valjean: I had to jump off a bridge!

Enjolras: Whatever you all say, I was the one who had to be Marius.

Javert: I accept defeat

Valjean: You truly have suffered the most

Eponine: I pity you.

Me: My plan didn�t work at all. Not only do you guys not sympathize with each other, I think you dislike each other all the more, if that�s even possible. Darn.

Javert: Told you it wouldn�t work.

Me: Anyway, did we all have fun?
