When in the Les Miserables this was sang?
When a man who wants to buy Fantine for a sleep but she refused. She fought the man and the man reported her to Javert. Then Fantine was supposed to be arrested when Valjean arrived.
Bamatabois
Here's something new
I think I'll give it a try
Come closer you!
I'd like to see what I buy!
The usual price,
For just one slice of your pie.
Fantine
I don't want you.
No, no, Monsieur let me go!
Bamatabois
Is this a trick?
I won't pay more!
Fantine
No, not at all!
Bamatabois
You got some nerve you ugly slut!
You got some gall!
It's the same with a tart as it is with a grocer
The customer sees what he gets in advance
It's not for the whore to say "yes sir" or "no sir"
Not for the harlot to pick or to choose
Or to lead me a dance
Fantine
I'll kill you, you bastard try any of that!
Even a hoar who has gone to the bad
Won't be had by a rat!
Bamatabois
By Christ, you'll pay for what you've done
This rat will make you bleed you'll see
I guarantee, I'll make you suffer
For this disturbance of the peace
For this insult to life and property
Fantine
I beg you, don't report me sir!
I will do whatever you may want!
Bamatabois
Make your excuse to the police!
Javert
Tell me quickly what's the story
Who saw what and why and where
Let him give a full description
Let him answer to Javert
In this nest of whores and vipers
Let one speak who saw it all
Who laid hands on this good man here?
What's the substance of this brawl?
Bamatabois
Javert, would you believe it?
I was crossing in the park
With this prostitute attacked me!
You could see, she left her mark!
Javert
She will answer for her actions
When you make a full report
You will rest assured, Monsieur
That she will answer to the court!
Fantine
There's a child who sorely needs me
Please Monsieur! She's but that high
Holy God, is there no mercy?
If I go to jail she'll die!!
Javert
I had heard such protestations
Everyday for twenty years!
Let's have no more explanations
Save your breath,
And save your tears.
Honest work
Just reward
That's the way to please the Lord.
Valjean
A moment of your time, Javert
I do believe this woman's tale
Javert
But Monsieur Mayor-
Valjean
You've done your duty,
Let her be
She needs a doctor,
Not a jail
Javert
But Monsieur Mayor!
Fantine
Can this be...
Valjean
Where will she end
This child without a friend?
I've seen your face before
Show me some way to help you
How have you come to grief
In such a place as this?
Fantine
Monsieur, don't mock me now I pray,
It's hard enough I lost my pride?
You let your foreman sent me away!
Yes, you were there, and turned aside.
I never did no wrong.
Valjean
It is true, what I've 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 began
I will see it done!
Javert
But Monsieur Mayor!
Valjean
Take her to the hospital!
Javert
But Monsieur Mayor!
Valjean
I WILL SEE IT DONE.
