Plumet Attack

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 see a cat and it's 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!
