Quotes 

• Jean Valjean : What is this fighting all about? Will someone tear these two apart? This is a factory, not a circus. Come on, ladies, settle down. I am the mayor of this town, I run a business of repute.

  [alarmed to see Javert waiting in his office] 

  Jean Valjean : Deal with this, foreman. Be as patient as you can.

  Foreman : Yes, Monsieur Madeleine.

  [Valjean leaves] 

  Foreman : Now, someone say how this began.

  Factory Woman 5 : At the end of the day, she's the one who began it.

  Factory Woman 1 : There's a kid that she's hiding in some little town.

  Factory Woman 5 : There's a man she has to pay.

  Factory Woman 1 : You can guess how she picks up the extra. You can bet she's earning her keep sleeping around. And the boss wouldn't like it.

  Fantine : Yes, it's true there's a child and the child is my daughter. And her father abandoned us, leaving us flat. Now she lives with an innkeeper man and his wife and I pay for the child. What's the matter with that?

• Factory Woman 1 : And what have we here, little innocent sister? Oh, come on, Fantine, let's have all the news.

  [reading the note] 

  Factory Woman 1 : "Dear Fantine, you must send us more money. Your child needs a doctor; there's no time to lose."

  Fantine : [taking it back]  Give that letter to me; it is none of your business. With a husband at home and a bit on the side? Is there anyone here who can say swear before God she has nothing to fear, she has nothing to hide?
