1
Javert
2
Valjean, at last,
3
We see each other plain
4
'M'sieur le Mayor',
5
You'll wear a different chain.
6
Valjean
7
Before you say another word, Javert
8
Before you chain me up like a slave again
9
Listen to me! There is something I must do.
10
This woman leaves behind a suffering child.
11
There is none but me who can intercede,
12
In Mercy's name, three days are all I need.
13
Then I'll return, I pledge my word.
14
Then I'll return...
15
Javert
16
You must think me mad!
17
I've hunted you across the years
18
A man like you can never change
19
A man... Such as you...
20
Javert (in counterpoint)
21
Men like me can never change
22
Men like you can never change
23
No, 24601,
24
My duty's to the law
25
You have no rights
26
Come with me 24601
27
Now the wheel has turned around
28
Ne Jean Valjean is nothing now
29
Dare you talk to me of crime
30
And the price you had to pay
31
Every man is born in sin
32
Every man must choose his way
33
You know nothing of Javert
34
I was born inside a jail
35
I was born with scum like you
36
I am from the gutter too! Valjean (in counterpoint)
37
Believe of me what you will
38
There is a duty that I'm sworn to do
39
You know nothing of my life
40
All I did was steal some bread
41
You know nothing of the world
42
You would rather see me dead
43
But not before I see this justice done
44
I am warning you Javert
45
I'm a stronger man by far
46
There is power in me yet
47
My race is not yet run
48
I am warning you Javert
49
There is nothing I won't dare
50
If I have to kill you here
51
I'll do what must be done!
52
[Valjean breaks chair and threatens Javert with the broken piece. Turns to Fantine.]
53
Valjean
54
And this I swear to you tonight
55
Javert
56
There is no place for you to hide
57
Valjean
58
Your child will live within my care
59
Javert
60
Wherever you may hide away
61
Valjean
62
And I will raise her to the light.
63
Valjean & Javert
64
I swear to you, I will be there!
65
[They fight, Javert is knocked out. Valjean escapes.]
