Eponine'e Errand

(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)

EPONINE
Good God! Ooh, 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
But careful how you go
Don't let your 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!
