Quotes 

• Pontmercy : [in the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo]  You saved my life. Who are you?

  Thénardier : A Frenchman like you, monsieur, and if... if they catch me, I'll be shot.

  Pontmercy : Your name... your name and rank?

  Thénardier : Thénardier, sir. Sergeant.

  Pontmercy : Sergeant. I will remember you. And you remember me. Colonel Pontmercy. And if we both survive, you can call on me, I swear it.

• Gillenormand : You dare to come here?

  Pontmercy : Good day, father-in-law.

  Gillenormand : Don't you bring that up with me, sir. I rue the day my poor daughter ever set eyes on you. And now the poor girl is dead, I thank God I need never see you again. And yet here you are.

  Pontmercy : I was hoping, sir, that we could make up our differences.

  Gillenormand : Were you? I marvel at your insolence. Make up our differences? You gave up all hope of that when you allied your fortunes with that Corsica brigand, Bonaparte.

  Pontmercy : I fought for France, sir. Napoleon was a great man. He still has my allegiance.

  Gillenormand : Better not say that too loud, young man. France has a king again, thank God. It's your lot they're stringing up from lampposts now. How do you like that? Now the boot's on the other foot. Huh? Bonapartist scum. Traitor to your class.

  Pontmercy : Sir, will you at least let me spend some time with my little boy?

  Gillenormand : Never! You will never set eyes on him. And I promise you this: if you break my prohibition, I'll disinherit him.

  Pontmercy : Sir, I beg you, for Marius' sake, if not for mine.

  Gillenormand : Never. He will be brought up to curse your very name, Pontmercy. Now leave my house. Go on, get out. Get out!
