Valjean: Men? Not God? Alright, whoever you are. What can I do with a yellow passport? I have to go to my parole officer in Dijon, and then what? Starve to death? 19 years, and now the real punishment begins.
So they let me out and gave me a yellow passport. (He looks at both of them for a reaction.) How do you know I’m not going to murder you?īishop: How do you know I’m not going to murder you?īishop: I suppose we’ll have to trust each other?
