[Eponine is alone in the square.]



Eponine

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?



Eponine

That cop! He'd like to jump us

But he ain't smart, not he.



Marius

Eponine, who was that girl?



Eponine

Some bourgeois two-a-penny thing!



Marius

Eponine, find her for me!



Eponine

What will you give me?



Marius

Anything!



Eponine

Got you all excited now,

But God knows what you see in her

Ain't you all delighted now



[She refuses Marius' money.]



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



Marius

Eponine, do this for me...

Discover where she lives

Be careful how you go

Don't let her father know...



'Ponine! I'm lost until she's found!



Eponine

You see, I told you so!

There's lots of things I know...



[Marius leaves.]



'Ponine... she knows her way around...
