Valjean:
A moment of your time, Javert
I do believe this woman's tale
Javert:
But M'sieur Mayor!
Valjean:
You've done your duty
Let her be
She needs a doctor, not a jail.
Javert:
But M'sieur Mayor!
Fantine:
Can this be?
Valjean:
Where will she end -
This child without a friend?
(to Fantine) I've seen your face before
Show me some way to help you
How have you come to grief
In a place such as this?
Fantine:
M'sieur, don't mock me now, I pray
It's hard enough I've lost my pride
You let your foreman send me away
Yes, you were there, and turned aside
I never did no wrong
Valjean:
Is it true, what I have done?
Fantine:
My daughter's close to dying
Valjean:
To an innocent soul?
Fantine:
If there's a God above
Valjean:
Had I only known then...
Fantine:
He'd let me die instead
Valjean:
In His name my task has just begun
I will see it done!
Javert:
But M'sieur Mayor!
Valjean:
I will see it done!
Javert:
But M'sieur Mayor!
Valjean:
I will see it done
