[ti:Fantine's Arrest]
[00:00.70] Bamatabois
[00:00.85] Here's something new, I think I'll give it a try.
[00:05.58] Come closer you! I like to see what I buy
[00:10.91] The usual price, for just one slice of your pie
[00:18.38] Fantine
[00:18.63] I don't want you, no, no, m'sieur, let me go.
[00:21.99] Bamatabois
[00:22.19] Is this a trick? I won't pay more!
[00:24.12] Fantine
[00:24.37] No, not at all.
[00:25.24] Bamatabois
[00:25.44] You've got some nerve, you little whore
[00:27.07] You've got some gall.
[00:30.91] It's the same with a tart as it is with a grocer
[00:34.47] The customer sees what he gets in advance
[00:37.98] It's not for the whore to say 'yes sir' or 'no sir'
[00:39.91] It's not for the harlot to pick and to choose
[00:41.49] Or lead me to a dance!
[00:43.21] He hits her with his stick, she claws at his face,
[00:44.89] drawing blood.
[00:44.63] Fantine
[00:44.36] I'll kill you, you bastard, try any of that!
[00:48.19] Even a whore who has gone to the bed
[00:50.17] Won't be had by a rat!
[00:55.61] Javert
[00:59.32] Tell me quickly what's the story
[01:01.10] Who saw what and why and where
[01:03.23] Let him give a full description
[01:05.41] Let him answer to Javert!
[01:07.14] In this nest of whores and vipers
[01:09.23] Let one speak who saw it all
[01:11.21] Who laid hands on this good man here?
[01:13.14] What's the substance of this brawl?
[01:15.42] Bamatabois
[01:15.62] Javert, would you belive it
[01:17.60] I was crossing from the park
[01:19.79] When this prostitute attacked me
[01:22.08] You can see she left her mark
[01:24.87] Javert
[01:25.07] She will answer for her actions
[01:26.96] When you make a full report
[01:28.99] You may rest assured, M'sieur,
[01:30.41] That she will answer to the court.
[01:32.95] Fantine
[01:33.21] There's a child who sorely needs me
[01:35.60] Please M'sieur, she's but that high
[01:37.99] Holy God, is there no mercy?
[01:40.58] If I go to jail she'll die!
[01:44.65] Javert
[01:44.95] I have heard such protestations
[01:47.65] Every day for twenty years
[01:49.94] Let's have no more explanations
[01:52.58] Save your breath and save your tears
[01:55.27] Honest work, just reward,
[01:58.30] That's the way to please the Lord.
[02:01.04] Fantine gives a last despairing cry as she is arrested.
[02:02.26] Valjean emerges from the crowd.
[02:03.43] Valjean
[02:05.92] A moment of your time, Javert
[02:07.29] I do believe this woman's tale
[02:08.71] Javert
[02:08.87] But M'sieur Mayor!
[02:10.95] Valjean
[02:11.15] You've done your duty
[02:11.81] Let her be
[02:12.32] She needs a doctor, not a jail.
[02:13.54] Javert
[02:13.69] But M'sieur Mayor!
[02:14.92] Fantine
[02:15.12] Can this be?
[02:17.46] Valjean
[02:17.61] Where will she end -
[02:20.16] This child without a friend?
[02:26.21] I've seen your face before
[02:32.25] Show me some way to help you
[02:38.00] How have you come to grief
[02:41.51] In such a place as this?
[02:46.59] Fantine
[02:46.75] M'sieur, don't mock me now, I pray
[02:53.20] It's hard enough I've lost my pride
[02:59.31] You let your foreman send me away
[03:06.62] Yes, you were there, and turned aside
[03:15.74] I never did no wrong
[03:18.44] Valjean & Fantine
[03:19.31] Is it true, what I have done?
[03:21.60] My daughter's close to dying
[03:25.36] To an innocent soul?
[03:27.69] If there's a God above
[03:31.46] Had I only known then...
[03:32.37] He'd let me die instead
[03:39.09] Valjean
[03:39.34] In His name my task has just begun
[03:44.23] I will see it done!
[03:45.81] Javert
[03:46.01] But M'sieur Mayor!
[03:46.82] Valjean
[03:47.03] I will see it done!
[03:48.50] Javert
[03:48.75] But M'sieur Mayor!
[03:49.77] Valjean
[03:49.97] I will see it done!
