(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 quickly as Valjean enters)
