Night of Anguish
[ENJOLRAS]
She is the first to fall
The first of us to fall upon this barricade
[MARIUS]
Her name was Éponine
Her life was cold and dark, yet she was unafraid
[COMBEFERRE]
We fight here in her name
[PROUVAIRE]
She will not die in vain
[BOSSUET]
She will not be betrayed
[Éponine's body is carried away. Valjean appears disguised as a soldier.]
[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 gives Valjean a gun.]
[ENJOLRAS]
Take this and use it well!
But if you shoot us in the back
You'll never live to tell!
