• Cosette : I didn't breathe when you spoke. I was afraid I'd miss a word.

• Cosette : Please tell me what this is all about, papa. Please, please tell me what this is. Please, what is it?

  Jean Valjean : [stammering]  I... I am a convict. When I was young... just your age I was very poor, I was starving. One day, I stood in front of the window. A window full of bread, there was just glass between me... and not being hungry anymore, it was so easy. So I broke it... and took what I wanted. Then they caught me... and put me in chains for almost 19 years. They did things to me... I can't tell you about it, and I did things, there in jail. Terrible things. I became an animal. They took my dignity, they took everything from me.
