Lletres: Les Miserables. The Second Attack.

(The battle recommences)

ENJOLRAS
How do we stand, Feuilly? Make your report.

FEUILLY
We've guns enough, but ammunition's short

MARIUS
Let me go into the streets
There are bodies all around
Ammunition to be had
Lots of bullets to be found!

ENJOLRAS
I won't let you go, it's too much of a chance!

MARIUS
The same is true for any man here!

VALJEAN
Let me go. He's no more than a boy.
I am old, I have nothing to fear.

GAVROCHE
You need somebody quicker and I volunteer!

(Gavroche climbs the barricade)

LESGLES

Come back Gavroche, don't you dare!

JOLY
Someone pull him down at once!

GAVROCHE
Look at me, I'm almost there!

Gunshot

GAVROCHE
Little people know, when
Little people fight, we
May look easy pickings
But we've got some bite!
(He is hit again.)
So never kick a dog
Because he's just a pup
(He is hit again)
We'll fight like twenty armies
And we won't give up
(He is shot again)
So you'd better run for cover
When the pup grows....

(He dies after a fourth shot)
