sworn to duty

"Valjean, at last,
We see each other plain!
`M'sieur le Mayor,'
You'll wear a different chain!"



"Before you say another word, Javert...
Before you chain me up like a slave again...
Listen to me! There is something I must do.
This woman leaves behind a suffering child.
There is none but me who can intercede.
In Mercy's name, three days are all I need.
Then I'll return, I pledge my word.
Then I'll return..."



"You must think me mad!
I've hunted you across the years.
A man like you can never change.
A man such as you."



"And this I swear to you tonight.
Your child will live within my care.
And I will raise her to the light.
I swear to you, I will be there."
