(Javert and his constables break up the fight. Valjean picks himself up and looks for Cosette, who is with Marius)      JAVERT   Another brawl in the square   Another stink in the air!   Was there a witness to this?       (Marius steps forward)      Well, let him speak to Javert!   M'sieur, the streets are not safe,   But let these vermin beware   We'll see that justice is done!      Look upon this fine collection   Crawled from underneath a stone   This swarm of worms and maggots   Could have picked you to the bone!      I know this man over here   I know his name and his trade   And on your witness, M'sieur,   We'll see him suitably paid.      (Valjean and Cosette have disappeared)      But where's the gentleman gone?   And why on earth did he run?      (Marius runs off to find Cosette)      THENARDIER   You will have a job to catch him   He's the one you should arrest   No more bourgeois when you scratch him   Than that brand upon his chest!      (The constables search for Valjean)      JAVERT   Could it be he's some old jailbird   That the tide now washes in   Heard my name and started running   Had the brand upon his skin   And the girl who stood beside him   When I turned they both had gone   Could he be the man I've hunted?   Could it be he's Jean Valjean?      THENARDIER   In the absence of a victim,   Dear Inspector, may I go?   And remember when you've nicked him,   It was me who told you so!      JAVERT   Let the old man keep on running   I will run him off his feet!      Everyone about your business!   Clear this garbage off the street!
