(From the trailer at: http://www.chick.com/default.asp)
“Are you a blaspheming thief?”
“I sure hope not.” (nervous laughter)
“Come on.”
(laughs) “… No.”
“No?? You just told me you stole.”
“Because I don’t mean to do these things, so …”
…
“So you’re an adulterer, a thief, and a blasphemer.”
(laugh)
“Yes?”
“Yes.”
“Does that concern you?”
“… Um, just a little bit.”
Now let’s turn to the Book of Valjean:
| Jean Valjean: | Javert: |
| Believe of me what you will | Men like me can never change |
| There is a duty that I’m sworn to do | Men like you can never change |
| You know nothing of my life | No, 24601 |
| All I did was steal some bread | My duty’s to the law - you have no rights |
| You know nothing of the world | Come with me 24601 |
| You would sooner see me dead | Now the wheel has turned around |
| But not before I see this justice done | Jean Valjean is nothing now |
Oh musical theater. Is there anything you don’t know?
