[Thenardier is picking through the corpses in the sewers.]

Thenardier

     Here's a hint of gold

     Stuck into a tooth

     Pardon me M'sieur

     You won't be needing this no more.

     Shouldn't be too hard to sell.

     Add it to the pile

     Add it to the stock

     Here among the sewer rats

     A breath away from hell

     You get accustomed to the smell.

     Well someone's got to clean 'em up, my friends

     Bodies on the highway

     Law and order upside down

     Someone's got to collect their odds and ends

     As a service to the town!

     [Valjean arrives, carrying Marius, and collapses.

     Thenardier robs Marius.]

     Here's a tasty ring

     Pretty little thing

     Wouldn't want to waste it

     That would really be a crime

     Thank you sir, I'm in your debt

     Here's another toy

     Take it off the boy

     His heart's no longer going

     And he's lived his little time

     But his watch is ticking yet!

     Well, someone's got to clean them up, my friends

     Before the little harvest

     Disappears into the mud

     Someone's got to collect their odds and ends

     When the gutters run with blood.

     It's a world where the dog eats the dog

     Where they kill for bones in the street

     And God in His Heaven

     He don't interfere

     'Cause he's dead as the stiffs at my feet

     I raise my eyes to see the heavens

     And only the moon looks down

     The harvest moon shines down!

     [He turns over Valjean's body, recognizes him, and leaves.

     Eventually, Valjean picks up Marius again and walks through

     the sewers.  As they emerge, they meet Javert.]

Valjean

     It's you, Javert

     I knew you wouldn't wait too long

     The faithful servant at his post once more!

     This man's done no wrong,

     And he needs a doctor's care.

Javert

     I warned you I would not give in

     I won't be swayed

Valjean

     Another hour yet

     And then I'm yours

     And all our debts are paid.

Javert

     The man of mercy

     Comes again

     And talks of justice

Valjean

     Come, time is running short

     Look down, Javert

     He's standing in his grave

     Give way, Javert

     There is a life to save.

Javert

     Take him Valjean,

     Before I change my mind

     I will be waiting

     24601.

     [Valjean carries Marius off.]
