City Emerald Green |
|||||||||||||||
Darla Cosette is working as a drudge for Porky and Buckwheat at their Klubhouse. She keeps her mind off the dullness of the housekeeping by singing softly to herself. She daydreams of a colorful place, far beyond the moon, over the stars... She dreams of being beyond the rainbows of her dreary life. | |||||||||||||||
Darla Cosette![]() |
There is a city emerald green, I like to dream of while I sweep, No one is blue, no one is mean Not in my city emerald green.
There is a lady in dazzling white,
I know a place of abundant quirks,
There is a city emerald green,
| ||||||||||||||
Darla Cosette grabs an ancient straw broom and starts sweeping with renewed vigor. | |||||||||||||||
Darla Cosette![]() |
Oh help! I think I hear them now, I'm nowhere near finished vacuuming the dishes And boiling the clothes. I haven't even begun bleaching the mush! Oh, woe is me! Oh, it's him! It's Porky! | ||||||||||||||
Porky - The Gatekeeper![]() |
Now 'ook who's 'ere! The wittle wady herthelf! Pwetending once agin' she keeps on wollin' awong, Ten wousy pennies your thisthta thends me What is that going to buy? Not even a bag of mawbleth Not even a cat's eye Now tote that barge Wift that bail Get a wittle dwunk, you wand in our jail!
We should never have taken you in in the first place

Darla Cosette![]() |
Please do not send me out alone Not out, out, out in the cold! Oh, woe is me... Woe is me! | ||||||||||||||
Buckwheat - The Injineer ![]() |
Enough of 'dat, Darla Cosette. I'll forget to be nice! You heard me ask, Does I ever ask twice? Well, does I? | ||||||||||||||
Shirley Eponine pushes Darla Cosette outside. Buckwheat says good night to her as the Klubhouse fills up for the evening. Spanky's men are dragging themselves into the Klubhouse. It's been a hard day, spent either running from or gathering marbles for Butch. | |||||||||||||||
Conductor of the House | |||||||||||||||
Buckwheat greets a new customer with a pleasing smile. | |||||||||||||||
Buckwheat - The Injineer ![]() |
Howdy, partners! Sit yourself down And meet the best Injineer in town As for the rest, None of 'em gots brains Walkin' the tracks Not ridin' the trains Seldom do you see Honest guys like me A gent of good intent Who's content to be

Porky - The Gatekeeper ![]() |

To another new customer as he buys a glass of ice water | |||||||||||||||
Buckwheat - The Injineer ![]() |

Porky - The Gatekeeper![]() | Two cents each, pwease! | ||||||||||||||
The Bargain | |||||||||||||||
Alfalfa Valjean and Darla Cosette, hand-in-hand, approach the now empty inn, singing. They arrive at the inn. The sight is deceptively calm and serene. | |||||||||||||||
Alfalfa Valjean![]() |
I found her wandering outside the Klub This little child, I found her trembling in the darkness And I am here to help Darla Cosette And I will settle any debt you may think proper I will pay the marbles I must pay To take Darla Cosette away. There is a duty I must heed, A promise to get her on the stage She will star upon the screen I didn't see what obstacles stood before me Now her sister tired, retired, expired Mary Ann Fantine onstage nevermore And I speak here with her voice And I stand here in her place And from this day and evermore | ||||||||||||||
Porky - The Gatekeeper ![]() | Wet me take youwe coat, Albalba! | ||||||||||||||

Buckwheat's Waltz of Treachery |
|||||||||||||||
Buckwheat - The Injineer ![]() |
Whadda I do? Whadda I say? Is you gonna take our hired help away? What a break, a chance at a stars! She'll be on the stage while I wash the cars... How can we speak of debt? Let's not haggle for Darla Cosette!
Mary Ann Fantine, gone to rest... | ||||||||||||||
Alfalfa Valjean![]() |
Your feelings do you credit, Buckwheat And I will ease the parting tears with this bag of marbles
Let us not talk of marbles or bones or stage and screen | ||||||||||||||
Porky : The Gatekeeper ![]() |
That handfuw would do da twick If she hadn't so off'n been sick Wittle Dawwa, tho much mithed wouk We had to hire a wepwacement cwewk We did juthst what we had ta do It's no more than what's etspected of you! | ||||||||||||||
Alfalfa swallows a huge lump and his eyes widen. He realizes the gravity of his situation as he bends over backwards at Buckwheat's and Porky's approach. He falls to the floor, landing flat on his back as they continue. | |||||||||||||||
Buckwheat & Porky![]() ![]() |
One thing more, if you please Darla Cosette, we're down on our knees Have a drink... stop and think... Without you, pwoductivity stinks... | ||||||||||||||
Alfalfa Valjean![]() |
Shut your yaps. Here's your price. One bag each for your sacrifice. Darla Cosette, now bid your adieus I've made them an offer, they cannot refuse Thank you both for Darla Cosette It won't take you too long to forget. | ||||||||||||||
Alfalfa Valjean and Darla Cosette leave the Klubhouse together. | |||||||||||||||
Look Down | |||||||||||||||
September 1939. The teeming, squalid streets downtown. Orphans, urchins, thugs, has-beens,
etc. The world revolves around this geographic center, the once beautiful downtown Burbank. Butch's territory now covers the entire city. The gang's economy now is based upon the glass marble. The Cat's Eye $hooter has suplimented the dollar. | |||||||||||||||
Orphans |
Look down and see the orphans at your feet Look down and see your childish fears retreat Look down and see The garbage of the land Look down, look down, No marbles in your hand! |
||||||||||||||
Waldo Gavroche![]() |
Wellsir, how do you do? My name's Waldo Gavroche. These are my people. Here's my crest. Not much to look at, say, b'gosh But we're always found in our Sunday best. This is my school, here I have first propriety We're walking the planks of old Burbank We survive the trickle down of society Marbles ain't cheap, don't grow on trees! Think you're poor? Think you're free? Follow me! Follow me! | ||||||||||||||
Orphans |
Look down and show compassion if you can Look down, look down, no marbles in the land... | ||||||||||||||
An old gang member finds a young rascal occupying his stoop. | |||||||||||||||
Old Joe![]() |
Where do ya think you are? You can't hang 'round here. If you're new around here, You've got a marble for a brain! | ||||||||||||||
Mary![]() |
Listen you old slob... Crazy looney hog... 'Least I earn my marbles And I get more than you do now! | ||||||||||||||
Old Joe![]() |
I know where you work! Get 'em any way you can! Raise your fist in anger Swear you'll never be poor again. | ||||||||||||||
Spanky Enjolras![]() |
Leave the poor old cow, Move it on along Mary. He used to be a rascal Till age removed him from the gang. | ||||||||||||||
Orphans |
When's it gonna end? When we gonna live? Something's gotta happen now or Something's gonna give Butch'll come, Butch'll come, yeah, he'll come Butch'll come, Butch'll come, yeah, he'll come | ||||||||||||||
Breezy Joly![]() |
Where the leaders of the land? Where are the adults who run this show? Hey... well, where is they? Well, heck, I don't see 'em. | ||||||||||||||
Jackie Marius![]() |
Only one mug, that's Spanky Speaks for these people here below. | ||||||||||||||
Orphans |
See no marbles in our hand Butch is all to blame Something for a day of work Got no money to our name | ||||||||||||||
Jackie Marius![]() |
Butch's power is fading fast! Won't last the week out, so they say. | ||||||||||||||
Breezy Joly![]() |
With all the marbles of the land How long before the final day? Before we cut Butch's gang down to size? Before the barricades arise? | ||||||||||||||
Butch walks the streets of beautiful downtown Burbank by night. He contemplates his quest for marbles. Anger builds in his heart and sends him into madness. His emotions spew forth in fits of rage, moderated only by the exceptional scene far above his head. There, under the twinkling lights, the stars in the sky, Butch finds his inner peace. He realizes his life's purpose. Alfalfa must be found! Alfalfa must pay... | |||||||||||||||
Stars |
|||||||||||||||
Butch Javert![]() |
There, out in the darkness Alfalfa is running His mug I'll break His mug I'll break Woim, be my witness Yeah, I'll find that mug And I'll bash in his face Yeah, I'll bash in his face
He often wears a disguise
Stars
I know my place in the game
And so it must be and it has been written
Woim, go now and find him | ||||||||||||||
Spanky's Klubhouse - Black and Blue | |||||||||||||||
Spanky's Klubhouse, where the gang meet to discuss their revolutionary plans. How to stop Butch and his thugs from extorting marbles from the gang is the topic of the day. | |||||||||||||||
Wheezer![]() | At Spanky's Klub the guys are prepared! | ||||||||||||||
Scotty![]() |
He Man Women Haters strains at the leash! | ||||||||||||||
Harry![]() |
Students, victims, everyone There's no marbles in our fun Butch now owns them, every one There is none left to go buy! | ||||||||||||||
Spanky Enjolras![]() |
The time is near So near I'm pacing a hole in the floor! And yet beware Don't let the fear of Butch come through the door! For Butch's army is a dangerous foe With the mugs and the thugs that we never can match It is easy to sit here and swat 'em like flies But the Butch's guards will be harder to catch. We need a sign To rally the kids To call them to arms To bring them in line! | ||||||||||||||
Jackie Marius enters. He carries a huge placard proclaiming : Unkle Spanky Wants You! Fight Butch's Oppreshun! | |||||||||||||||
Spanky Enjolras![]() | Jackie Marius, you're late. | ||||||||||||||
Breezy Joly![]() |
What's wrong today? You look paler'n a ghost. | ||||||||||||||
Old Joe![]() | Have some water. Say now, what's going on? | ||||||||||||||
Jackie Marius![]() |
A ghost you say... a ghost maybe Butch just scared the pants off me One minute there, and now my marbles are gone! | ||||||||||||||
Old Joe![]() |
I am agog! I am aghast! Is Jackie Marius a coward at last? I've never heard him complain just so... You talk of battles to be won He comes in like Costello Quivering like cold jello! | ||||||||||||||
Spanky Enjolras![]() |
It is time for us all To decide who we are Do we fight for the right To each game of marbles now? Have you asked of yourselves What's the price you might pay? Is it simply a game For Butch and his gang to take away? The color of the world Is changing day by day... | ||||||||||||||
All |
Black - our eyes from Butch's men! Blue - the welts of bruises past! Red - blood war about to start! Gold - the loot that Butch has took! | ||||||||||||||
Jackie Marius![]() |
Had you been there tonight You might know how it feels To be struck on the head In a moment of bully's delight! Had you been there tonight You might also have known How our world may be changed In just one burst of fight! And what was mine seemed his And what was mine was gone! | ||||||||||||||
Old Joe![]() | Black... | ||||||||||||||
Jackie Marius![]() |
My marbles stole tonight! | ||||||||||||||
Old Joe![]() | Blue... | ||||||||||||||
Jackie Marius![]() |

Jackie Marius![]() |
The color of sweet fire! | ||||||||||||||
All | Gold... | ||||||||||||||
Jackie Marius![]() |
Set fire to his lair! | ||||||||||||||
Spanky Enjolras![]() |
Jackie Marius, you're no longer a child I know that you mean it well But now there is a higher call. What matters about this single roll? We strive toward a larger goal Lost marbles now don't count at all! | ||||||||||||||
All |
Black - our eyes from Butch's men! Blue - the welts of bruises past! Red - blood war about to start! Gold - the night that Butch is stopped! | ||||||||||||||
Spanky Enjolras![]() |
Well, Scotty, do we have weapons? Wheezer, Breezy, our time is running short. Harry, get the cannon out! Do we have the slingshots we need? | ||||||||||||||
Old Joe![]() |
Give me limberger on my breath And I'll breathe them all to death! | ||||||||||||||
Harry![]() |
Buckwheat and Porky, they'll be with us today! | ||||||||||||||
Wheezer![]() |
But Butch's Klub has been saving up the stones! | ||||||||||||||
Scotty![]() |
Twenty slingshots good as new! | ||||||||||||||
Waldo Gavroche rushes in shouting. As usual, nobody listens at first. | |||||||||||||||
Waldo Gavroche![]() | Listen! | ||||||||||||||
Breezy Joly![]() | Twenty rounds each per every sling! | ||||||||||||||
Waldo Gavroche![]() | Hey guys, listen to me! | ||||||||||||||
Old Joe![]() | Prob'ly doubled at Butch's Klub! | ||||||||||||||
Waldo Gavroche![]() | Hey! Listen everybody! | ||||||||||||||
Old Joe![]() | Seven cannons he's pointed our way! | ||||||||||||||
Waldo Gavroche![]() | General peace is dead! Butch wants more marbles. He's ready to fight for them! | ||||||||||||||
Spanky Enjolras![]() |
Alright men, let's get him!. Butch! His anger spells the hour of fate. The people rise. His wrath is the sign we await! The time is near! Let us welcome it gladly with courage and cheer Let us take to the streets with no doubt in our hearts But a jubilant shout Kids will come one and all Kids will come when we call! | ||||||||||||||
Do You Hear The People Sing? | |||||||||||||||
Spanky Enjolras![]() |
Do you hear the people sing? Singing a rally cry again! It is the recoil of the kids Who rebel against Butch's men! When the release of a hawk Chases away the last few doves There is a life about to start For we've had enough! | ||||||||||||||
Wheezer![]() |
Will you join the marble crusade? Who will be strong and stand with me? Beyond these Klubhouse walls Is there a world you long to see? | ||||||||||||||

Will you give all you can give So that our marbles may be kept Some will fall, think of it Will you stand up and take your chance? The skin on your knees May be thinner than the cloth of your pants! | ||||||||||||||
All |
Do you hear the people sing? Singing a rally cry again! It is the recoil of the kids Who rebel against Butch's men! When the release of a hawk Chases away the last few doves There is a life about to start For we've had enough! | ||||||||||||||
Cosette stands in her garden on Burbank's west side. She stands amid the poppies that she planted so very long ago... in the early spring... before Butch's tyranny. She mourns her passing youth... she bemoans her fate at Butch's hands... she ponders... her destiny | |||||||||||||||
In My Life |
|||||||||||||||
Darla Cosette![]() |
How strange This feeling that peace is ending so fast Butch brought change, Can hopelessness be this incredibly vast? What's the matter with you, Cosette? Have the marbles of childhood been too long gone? So many things unclear So many things unknown.
In my life
Does Alfalfa know I'm alive?
On the screen | ||||||||||||||
Alfalfa Valjean![]() |
Dear Cosette, You're such a lonely child How remarkable, yet sad you now seem Believe me, were it within my power I'd fill each marbleless hour How sad it must really be, on the screen Waiting to film the next scene. | ||||||||||||||
Darla Cosette![]() |
There's so little I know I'm afraid to ask A child well known, yet unknown passed In a flash as the cameras rolled... There's so little controlled I have grown, my life shared by a public Why think too long, what's gone is gone I' ll always be six here In the dark of the flickering screen... The only memories I get to keep!
In my life | ||||||||||||||
Alfalfa Valjean![]() |
No more words No more words. For the show plays just in your head. There are shows That are better unseen, Better unsaid. | ||||||||||||||
Darla Cosette![]() |
In my life How much I still yearn For the innocence lost That you still get to know | ||||||||||||||
Jackie Marius goes into the garden, leaving Eponine outside the gate. He spots Darla Cosette and his heart pounds. Jackie has discovered girls. One girl, at least. | |||||||||||||||
A Heart Full of Love | |||||||||||||||
Jackie Marius![]() |
A hand full of hope A hand full of stones I'm doing everything all wrong Oh for Pete's sake I do not even know your name Dear... Won't you say? Will you tell? | ||||||||||||||
Darla Cosette![]() |
A hand full of hope... Any fear? None, nope! | ||||||||||||||
Jackie Marius![]() |
My name is Jackie Marius. Oh, mercy! | ||||||||||||||
Darla Cosette![]() | And mine's Darla Cosette You're cute... | ||||||||||||||
Jackie Marius![]() |
Darla Cosette, I don't know what to say | ||||||||||||||
Darla Cosette![]() | Yes, I have that effect on attractive men... | ||||||||||||||
Jackie Marius![]() |
I am lost | ||||||||||||||
Darla Cosette![]() |
At your side, I'm your guide! | ||||||||||||||
They tentatively hold hands and stare into each other's eyes. The moonlight adds a soft glow to Darla's wholesome face. Jackie grins broadly and leans forward to kiss Darla's cheek, whereupon he blushes deep crimson. Eponine breaks the magic of the moment by loudly clearing her throat. | |||||||||||||||
Shirley Eponine![]() |
(Interjecting) He was never mine to lose Why regret what cannot be? These are words he'll never say Not to me... Not to me... Not to me... His hand full of hope He will never look my way... | ||||||||||||||
The Attack On The Pie | |||||||||||||||
Eponine stumbles off into the darkness. Passing Alfalfa's house, she spies Buckwheat and Porky lurking in the distance. They peer into the windows, eyeing the apple pie that Alfalfa Valjean's mother has just taken out of the oven. They both lick their lips in cruel anticipation of the hot pie being placed on the window sill to cool. | |||||||||||||||
Shirley Eponine![]() |
Porky what are you and Buckwheat doing here So far from the Klub? | ||||||||||||||
Buckwheat - The Injineer ![]() |
This is his house I've seen Alfalfa around He wants this one for himself His mom's the best baker in the town I smell hot pie here!
Some weeks ago | ||||||||||||||
Porky - The Gatekeeper ![]() |
What I care Who pie you wob? Gimme me my shawe Finish the job! | ||||||||||||||
Buckwheat - The Injineer ![]() |
You shut your mouth Give me a hand What have we here? Who is this girl here? | ||||||||||||||
Porky - The Gatekeeper ![]() |
It's Shiwwey Eponine | ||||||||||||||
Buckwheat - The Injineer ![]() |
Eponine, get on home You're not needed in this There's just enough pie for us two | ||||||||||||||
Shirley Eponine![]() |
I know this house I tell you there's no pie here for you Just the old woman and the boy They have ordinary pies | ||||||||||||||
Buckwheat - The Injineer ![]() |
Don't interfere You'll get no slice Take care, young miss, I won't play nice! | ||||||||||||||
Porky - The Gatekeeper ![]() |
The'sh goin' thoft 'appens to all Go 'ome, 'Ponine, Go 'ome, you're in the way | ||||||||||||||
Shirley Eponine![]() |
I'm gonna scream, I'm gonna warn them here. | ||||||||||||||
Buckwheat - The Injineer ![]() | One little scream and it'll be the last you ever hear. | ||||||||||||||
Porky - The Gatekeeper ![]() |
What a pwobwem What a dewemma If we don't get dat pie We won't 'ave no dinna Not a thound out of you! | ||||||||||||||
Shirley Eponine![]() |
Well I told you I'd do it, told you I'd do it... Here goes nuthin' kids ! | ||||||||||||||
She screams out loud. Alfalfa's mother comes running, dropping the pie on the table. It's crust is cracked and ruined, but the pie, though decidedly ugly, is still edible. Buckwheat and Porky run into the night. | |||||||||||||||
Jackie Marius![]() |
It was your cry sent them away Shirley Eponine saving the day Dearest Darla Cosette - my friend Eponine Brought me to you, showed me the way! Someone is near Let's not be seen Somebody's here! | ||||||||||||||
Shirley Eponine walks quietly into the night, vanishing into the now lowering fog. Marius disapears quickly as Valjean enters.
Alfalfa Valjean | ![]()
Darla Cosette! | I heard a shriek in the dark I heard the shout of hungry voices in the street.
Darla Cosette | ![]()
That was my cry you heard, Alfalfa, | They tried to steal your mother's apple pie. They ran away when they heard my cry.
Two mugs I saw beyond the wall
Alfalfa Valjean | ![]()
This is a warning to us all | These are the shadows of the past
Must be Butch Javert! They both run to Spanky's Klubhouse where the rest of the gang has assembled to prepare for tomorrow's battle against Butch. | A revolution against tyranny. |
End This Here | |||
Alfalfa Valjean![]() |
End this here! Another day, no marbles as my destiny. This never-ending quest to keep my sanity... Butch demanding marbles as gratuity From the whole gang and me. End this here! | ||
Jackie Marius![]() |
I will not lose after today. With no more marbles I'll be parted... | ||
Alfalfa Valjean![]() | End this here... | ||
Jackie & Darla Cosette![]() ![]() |
Tomorrow we'll have time to play, Butch's plans will then be thwarted! | ||
Shirley Eponine![]() |
End this here, I'm on my own. | ||
Jackie & Darla Cosette![]() ![]() | Was meeting you my destiny? | ||
Shirley Eponine![]() |
End this here if he's not caring. | ||
Jackie & Darla Cosette![]() ![]() | Aw shucks, Cosette, to be with you... | ||
Shirley Eponine![]() |
What a life! I might have known. | ||
Jackie & Darla Cosette![]() ![]() | I'd fight Butch to be with you! | ||
Shirley Eponine![]() |
Hmmmpf! He never noticed me! | ||
Darla Cosette![]() |
The first smell of sweet obession! | ||
Jackie Marius![]() |
My first chance to see your magic! | ||
Shirley Eponine![]() |
From the moment that he saw her... | ||
Jackie Marius![]() |
Your romance, my life is tragic! | ||
Shirley Eponine![]() |
He never noticed anyone but she! | ||
Jackie Marius![]() |
Do I stay? Would you let me care? | ||
Shirley Eponine![]() |
Will someone once just notice me? | ||
All | The time is now, the end is here | ||
Alfalfa Valjean![]() | End this here! | ||
They stand united in defiance on the stage of Spanky's Klubhouse. Shirley Eponine is feeling dejected but forces herself between Jackie Marius and Darla Cosette. Alfalfa steps foward and takes his place next to Darla Cosette, forcing Shirley Eponine to step away from Jackie. She notices Butch and Woim at the back of the Klubhouse, but doesn't say anything because she's now so angry. Butch joins in the triumphant swelling of the music... | |||
Butch Javert![]() |
One day til their "revolution", Woim we'll nip it in the bud! We will teach these mugs a lesson We will beat them down but good! | ||
Alfalfa Valjean![]() | End this here! | ||
Buckwheat & Porky![]() ![]() |
Give 'em crackers through the day, Watch 'em eat em up, Sell 'em drinks of water, Go on and make them pay, Nickle for a sip A penny for a touch Make 'em all thirsty They won't mind payin' so much! | ||
Klub Members in the gallery (2 Sides of the Klubhouse) | |||
Left Side Put an end to a new
Right Side End his tyranny this night! |
Left Side Keep your marbles safe with you!
Right Side Keep your marbles safe with you! |
Left Side Butch's reign has reached it's ending
Right Side Silver $hooters for everyone! | |
All | Do you feel Butch's sting? | ||
Jackie Marius now rushes to Darla Cosette's side, pushing Alfalfa and Shirley Eponine aside. | |||
Jackie Marius![]() |
My place is here, Darla Cosette with you! | ||
Both Shirley Eponine and Alfalfa Valjean are shocked at these words. Alfalfa begins to protest loudly, but his wails go unnappreciated by all but Shirley Eponine. Alfalfa grows more defiant! | |||
Alfalfa Valjean![]() | End this here! | ||
Jackie & Darla Cosette![]() ![]() (overlapping) I did not know you til today. |
Shirley Eponine![]() (overlapping) You should have stayed on the silver screen. | ||
Jackie & Darla Cosette![]() ![]() (overlapping) How can I live if we are parted? |

The curtain falls. Butch and Woim are seen running out the backdoor of the Klubhouse. | |||
Alfalfa Valjean![]() | Say Buckwheat, why weren't you and Porky watchin' the door? | ||
