[Day breaks.]
Enjolras
The people have not stirred
We are abandoned by those who still live in fear.
The people have not heard.
Yet will will not abandon those who cannot hear.
Let us not waste lives
Let all the women and fathers of children
Go from here.
Feuilly
Drink with me to days gone by
Sing with me the songs we knew
All
At the shrine of friendship
Raise your glass high
Let the wine of friendship
Never run dry
If I die
I die with you!
THE SECOND ATTACK (The Death of Gavroche)
[The battle recommences.]
Enjolras
How do we stand, Feuilly?
Make your report.
Feuilly
We've guns enough
But ammunition short
Marius
Let me go into the streets
There are bodies all around
Ammunition to be had
Lots of bullets to be found!
Enjolras
I won't let you go
It's too much of a chance.
Marius
The same is true
For any man here!
Valjean
Let me go
He's no more than a boy
I am old
I have nothing to fear
Gavroche
You need somebody quicker
And I volunteer!
[Gavroche climbs the barricade.]
Lesgles
Come back Gavroche, don't you dare!
Joly
Someone pull him down at once!
Gavroche
Look at me, I'm almost there!
[A shot rings out from beyond the barricade. Gavroche
is hit.]
Gavroche
Little people know, when
Little people fight, we
[Another shot is fired.]
May look easy pickings
But we've got some bite!
[He is hit again.]
So never kick a dog
Because he's just a pup
We'll fight like twenty armies
And we won't give up
So you'd better run for cover
When the pup grows......
[He dies.]
