Plumet Attack Lyrics

    EPONINE
    'Parnasse, what are you doing
    So far out of our patch?

    MONTPARNASSE
    This house, we're going to do it
    Rich man, plenty of scratch
    You remember he's the one
    Who got away the other day
    Got a number on his chest
    Perhaps a fortune put away!

    EPONINE
    Oh Lord, somebody help me!
    Dear God, what'll I do?
    He'll think this is an ambush
    He'll think I'm in it too!

    What'll I do, what'll I say?
    I've got to warn them here
    I've got to find a way.

    Thenardier arrives with the rest of his gang

    THENARDIER
    This is his lair
    I've seen the old fox around
    He keeps himself to himself
    He's staying close to the ground
    I smell profit here!

    Ten years ago
    He came and paid for Cosette
    I let her go for a song
    It's time we settled the debt
    This'll cost him dear

    BRUJON
    What do I care
    Who you should rob?
    Gimme me my share
    Finish the job!

    THENARDIER
    You shut your mouth
    Give me your hand

    BRUJON
    catching sight of Eponine
    What have we here?

    THENARDIER
    not recognizing her
    Who is this hussy?

    BABET
    It's your brat Eponine
    Don't you know your own kid
    Why's she hanging about you?

    THENARDIER
    Eponine, get on home
    You're not needed in this
    We're enough here without you

    EPONINE
    I know this house
    I tell you there's nothing here for you
    Just the old man and the girl
    They live ordinary lives

    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

    CLAQUESOUS
    Happens to all

    MONTPARNASSE
    Go home, 'Ponine,
    Go home, you're in the way

    EPONINE
    I'm gonna scream, I'm gonna warn them here.

    THENARDIER
    One little scream and you'll regret it for a year.

    CLAQUESOUS
    What a palaver
    What an absolute treat
    To watch a cat and its father
    Pick a bone in the street

    BRUJON
    Not a sound out of you!

    EPONINE
    Well I told you I'd do it, told you I'd do it...

    She screams

    THENARDIER
    You wait my girl, you'll rue this night
    I'll make you scream, you'll scream all right
    Leave her to me, don't wait around
    Make for the sewers, go underground!

    The gang scatters. Marius and Cosette run back into the garden and he hurriedly introduces Eponine before she takes off

    MARIUS
    It was your cry sent them away
    Once more 'Ponine saving the day
    Dearest Cosette - my friend 'Ponine
    Brought me to you, showed me the way!
    Someone is near
    Let's not be seen
    Somebody's here!

    Marius leaves promptly as Valjean enters

    VALJEAN
    My God, Cosette!
    I heard a cry in the dark
    I heard the shout of angry voices in the street.

    COSETTE
    That was my cry you heard, Papa,
    I was afraid of what they'd do.
    They ran away when they heard my cry.

    VALJEAN
    Cosette, my child, what will become of you?

    COSETTE
    Three men I saw beyond the wall
    Three men in shadow moving fast

    JAVERT
    This is a warning to us all
    These are the shadows of the past

    Must be Javert!
    He's found my cover at last!
    I've got to get Cosette away
    Before they return!

    We must get away from shadows
    They will never let us be
    Tomorrow to Calais...
    And then a ship across the sea!

    Hurry, Cosette, prepare to leave and say no more,
    Tomorrow we'll away!
    Hurry, Cosette, it's time to close another door
    And live another day!
