The Second Attack (The Death Of Gavroche)

[The battle recommences.]

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

Feuilly
We've guns enough
But ammunition 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!

[A shot rings out from beyond the barricade. Gavroche is hit.]

Gavroche
Little people know, when
Little people fight, we

[Another shot is fired.]

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
We'll fight like twenty armies
And we won't give up
So you'd better run for cover
When the pup grows......

[He dies.]
