The Robbery Songtext

[Thenardier assembling his gang.] ThenardierEveryone here, you know your placeBrujon, Babet, ClaqusousYou, Montparnasse, watch for the lawWith Eponine, take care.You turn on the tearsNo mistakes, my dears Mme. ThenardierThese bloody students on our streetHere they come slumming once againOur Eponine would kiss their feetShe never had a scrap of brain MariusEponine, what's up today?I haven't seen you much about. EponineHere, you can always catch me in. MariusMind the police don't catch you out! EponineHere, whatcher doing with all them books?I could have been a student too!Don't judge a girl on how she looks...I know a lot of things I do! MariusPoor Eponine, the things you knowYou wouldn't find in books like these. EponineI like the way you grow your hair MariusI like the way you always tease EponineLittle he knows!Little he sees! [Valjean arrives with Cosette, now grown up.] Mme. ThenardierHere's the old boy. Stay on the job and watch out forthe law. Eponine[to Marius] Stay out of this. MariusBut Eponine... EponineYou'll be in trouble hereIt's not your concernYou'll be in the clear [She pushes Marius away.] MariusWho is that man? EponineLeave me alone! MariusWhy is he here? Hey, Eponine! [He begins to follow her, and bumps into Cosette.] I didn't see you there, forgive me. ThenardierPlease M'sieur, come this wayHere's a child that ain't eaten today.Save a life, spare a souGod rewards all the good that you do.Wait a bit. Know that face.Ain't the world a remarkable place?Men like me don't forgetYou're the bastard that borrowed Cosette! [Thenardier grabs Valjean and rips open his shirt, revealing the number on his chest.] ValjeanWhat is this? Are you mad?No, Monsieur, you don't know what you do! ThenardierYou know me, you know me.I'm a con, just like you. EponineIt's the police! Disappear!Run for it! It's Javert!
