Michael Maguire: Enjolras
Quotes
-
Enjolras : It is time for us all all to decide who we are... Do we fight for the right to a night at the opera now? Have you asked of yourselves what's the price you might pay? Is it simply a game, for rich young boys to play? The colour of the world is changing, day by day... Red - the blood of angry men, black - the dark of ages past, red - a world about to dawn, black - the night that ends at last!
-
Marius , Grantaire , Enjolras , Combeferre , Feuilly , Joly , Lesgles , Courfeyrac : Red: the blood of angry men! Black: the dark of ages past. Red: the world about to dawn... Black: the night that ends at last!
-
Enjolras : With all the anger in the land - how long before the Judgment Day, before we cut the fat ones down to size? Before the barricades arise?
-
[During the last battle at the barricades]
Enjolras : Let others rise to take our place, until the Earth is free!
-
Enjolras : For your presence of mind, for the deed you have done, I will thank you Monsieur when our battle is won.
Jean Valjean : Give me no thanks Monsieur, there's something you can do.
Enjolras : If it is in my power.
Jean Valjean : Give me the spy Javert, let me take care of him!
Javert : The law is inside out, the world is upside down!
Enjolras : Do what you have to do, the man belongs to you!
[to the others]
Enjolras : The enemy may be regrouping. Hold yourselves in readiness! Come on my friends, back to your positions, the night is falling fast!
Jean Valjean : [to Javert] We meet again.
Javert : You've hungered for this all your life! Take your revenge... How right you should kill with a knife!
Jean Valjean : You talk too much. Your life is safe in my hands!
Javert : Don't understand.
Jean Valjean : Get out of here.
Javert : Valjean, take care, I'm warning you...
Jean Valjean : Clear out of here!
Javert : Once a thief, forever a thief. What you want you always steal. You would trade your life for mine? Yes, Valjean, you want a deal. Shoot me now for all I care. If you let me go beware, you'll still answer to Javert!
Jean Valjean : You are wrong, and always have been wrong. I'm a man, no worse than any man. You are free! And there are no conditions, no bargains or petitions; there's nothing that I blame you for. You've done your duty, nothing more. If I come out of this alive, you'll find me at number fifty-five Rue Plumet. No doubt our paths will cross again. Go.

Jean Valjean : One day more. Another day, another destiny, this never-ending road to Calvary. These men who seem to know my crime will surely come a second time. One day more.
Marius : I did not live until today. How can I live when we are parted?
Jean Valjean : One day more.
Marius , Cosette : Tomorrow, you'll be worlds away, and yet with you, my world has started.
Eponine : One more day all on my own.
Marius , Cosette : Will we ever meet again?
Eponine : One more day of him not caring.
Marius , Cosette : I was born to be with you.
Eponine : What a life I might have known.
Marius , Cosette : And I swear, I will be true.
Eponine : But he never saw me there.
Enjolras : One more day before the storm.
Marius : Do I follow where she goes?
Enjolras : At the barricade of freedom.
Marius : Do I join my brothers there?

Jean Valjean : One day more!

Jean Valjean : One day more!
Thenardier , Madame Thenardier : Watch 'em run amok. Catch 'em as they fall. Never know your luck when there's a free-for-all. Here, a little dip. There, a little touch. Most of 'em are goners, so they won't miss much!
[Chorus joins in]
Thenardier , Madame Thenardier : One day to a new beginning, raise the flag of freedom high. Every man will be a king, every man will be a king. There's a new world for the winning, there's a new world to be won. Do you hear the people sing?
Marius : My place is here. I'll fight with you!
Jean Valjean : One day more!

Jean Valjean : One day more!
[Verses continue]
Jean Valjean : Tomorrow, we'll be far away. Tomorrow is the judgment day.
