[Marius and Cosette lead a wedding procession.] ChorusRing out the bells upon this day of days!
May all the angels of the Lord above
In jubilation sing their songs of praise!
And crown this blessed time with peace and love. [The procession becomes a dancing celebration. A waltz is played.] Major DomoThe Baron and Baroness de Thenard wish to pay theirrespects to the groom! ThenardierI forget where we met
Was it not at the Chateau LafargeWhere the duke did that puke
Down the Duchess's de-coll-etage? MariusNo, `Baron de Thenard'The circles I move in are humbler by far.
Go away, Thenardier!Do you think I don't know who you are? Mme. ThenardierHe's not fooled, told you so.
Show M'sieur what you've come here to show.
Tell the boy what you know! [Applause from the dancers as the waltz finishes.] MariusWhen I look at you, I remember EponineShe was more than you deserved, who gave her birth
But now she is with God and happier, I hope
Than here on earth! [The waltz starts up again.] ThenardierSo it goes, heaven knows
Life has dealt me some terrible blows. Mme. ThenardierYou've got cash and a heart
You could give us a bit of a start
We can prove, plain as ink
Your bride's father is not what you think. ThenardierThere's a tale I could tell Mme. ThenardierInformation we're willing to sell. ThenardierThere's a man that he slew
I saw the corpse clear as I'm seeing you!
What I tell you is true! Mme. ThenardierPity to disturb you at a feast like this
But five hundred francs surely wouldn't come amiss. MariusIn God's name say what you have to say. ThenardierBut first you pay! What I saw, clear as light
Jean Valjean in the sewers that night
Had this corpse on his back
Hanging there like a great bloody sack.
I was there, never fear
Even found me this fine souvenir! [Thenardier shows Marius a ring.] MariusI know this! This was mine!
Surely this is some heavenly sign! ThenardierOne more thing, mark this well
It was the night the barricades fell. MariusThen it's true, then I'm right
Jean Valjean was my savior that night! [Marius hits Thenardier and then throws money at him.] As for you, take this too!
God forgive the things that we do. Come my love, come CosetteThis day's blessings are not over yet! [Marius and Cosette leave.]
