Here's Leah Garchik's column from yesterday's SF Chron:

That quote reads like I wrote it, but I think that was Dean's wording. Not sure. Anyway-

COMBEFERRE
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?

ENJOLRAS
Here upon these stones
We will build our barricade
In the heart of the city
We claim as our own!
Each man to his duty
And don't be afraid.

STUDENTS
Now we pledge ourselves to hold this barricade
Let them come in their legions
and they will be met!
Have faith in yourselves
And don't be afraid
Let's give 'em a screwing
they'll never forget!
This is where it begins!
And if I should die
in the fight to be free
Where the fighting is hardest
There will I be!
Let them come if they dare!
We'll be there!

[Army officer offstage]

ARMY OFFICER
You of the barricade listen to this!
No one is coming to help you to fight!
You're on your own
You have no friends
Give up!
Your guns or die!

ENJOLRAS
Damn, their warnings
Damn their lies!
They will see the people rise!

STUDENTS
Damn, their warnings
Damn their lies!
They will see the people rise!
