Translation:
Jehan: "Revolution without the guillotine", how I've longed to hear that phrase!
Jehan: Had you been there for the French Revolution, the great poet André Chénier would not have been decapitated
Jehan: I wished to convey that splendor, so I wrote a poem.
Jehan: It is called "The Poppy: Blooming in the Snow"
Grantaire: You are all like the sons of the French Revolution
Grantaire: The rights of the people, the Republic, democracy, civilization, progress, religion, revolution
Grantaire: What's the point of such things?
Grantaire: There are other things to learn: The best coffee is to be had at the Cafe Lemblin, a wonderful chicken dish to be had at Mother Sauget's
Grantaire: Good lasses at the Ermitage on the Boulevard du Maine, that sort of thing.
Courfeyrac: Then why did you follow me?
Grantaire: ...ah... I don't know either
Grantaire: ....... hello~
Grantaire: My apologies for the mess
Grantaire: Forgive me, I am Grantaire
Grantaire, in whom writhed doubt, loved to watch faith soar in Enjolras.
He had need of Enjolras.
That chaste, healthy, firm, upright, hard, candid nature charmed him, without his being clearly aware of it,
and without the idea of explaining it to himself having occurred to him.
