• Cyrano de Bergerac : Very well, let the old fellow come now. He shall find me on my feet sword in hand.

  Roxane : Cyrano!

  Le Bret : He's delirious.

  Cyrano de Bergerac : I can see him now - he grins. He is looking at my nose, that skeleton. You there - who are you? A hundred against one, eh? I know them now, my ancient enemies...

  [Cyrano thrusts his sword at the empty air] 

  Cyrano de Bergerac : Falsehood! There! There! Prejudice! Compromise! Cowardice! What's that? Surrender? No! Never! Never!

  [He slashes his sword wildly] 

  Cyrano de Bergerac : Ah, you too, Vanity? I knew you would overthrow me in the end. No! I fight on! I fight on! I fight on!

• Vicomte de Valvert : [amused at Cyrano]  Madame, that nose of his, presently he will take it off?

  Roxane : [controlling her anger at Valvert]  No, monsieur, he keeps it, and Heaven help the man who smiles. Good night.
