[Éponine is alone in the square.]

Éponine:
Cosette! Now I remember!
Cosette! How can it be?
We were children together
Look what's become of me...

[Marius returns.]

Good God! Oh, what a rumpus!

Marius:
That girl, who can she be?

Éponine:
That cop! He'd like to jump us
But he ain't smart, not he.

Marius:
Éponine, who was that girl?

Éponine:
Some bourgeois two-a-penny thing!

Marius:
Éponine, find her for me!

Éponine:
What will you give me?

Marius:
Anything!

Éponine:
Got you all excited now
But God knows what you see in her
Ain't you all delighted now

[Marius offers her money, but she refuses.]

No, I don't want your money sir...

Marius:
Éponine, do this for me...
Discover where she lives
But careful how you go
Don't let your father know...
'Ponine! I'm lost until she's found!

[Marius leaves.]

Éponine:
You see, I told you so!
There's lots of things I know...
'Ponine... she knows her way around...
