00:03:33 #5 What manner would you prefer quiet down there? We'll tolerate no more of this

00:03:37 #6 The one with the play, Moflery.

00:03:39 #7 This is where it is!

00:03:40 #8 Gentlemen, retain their seats. My sword may bite their ribbons.

00:03:47 #9 Who is this braggart?

00:03:49 #10 My cousin, sir.

00:03:52 #11 Well, Moflery, still no exit.

00:03:55 #12 Very well, then.

00:03:56 #13 I enter with knife to carve this fat, stuffed Gudumma-plowed-mice-cabard here.

00:04:12 #14 She may put her tongue out at you.

00:04:14 #15 Ah!

00:04:15 #16 I say be silent!

00:04:27 #17 I offer one universal challenge to you all.

00:04:30 #18 Will all who wish to die please raise their hands?

00:04:33 #19 Approach, young heroes.

00:04:34 #20 I will take your names.

00:04:36 #21 To the first man who falls, I'll build a monument.

00:04:40 #22 Who will head the list?

00:04:41 #23 You, sir?

00:04:42 #24 No.

00:04:44 #25 You?

00:04:45 #26 No, no.

00:04:47 #27 Anyone?

00:04:49 #28 Anyone at all?

00:04:52 #29 Not one name.

00:04:55 #30 Not one finger.

00:04:57 #31 Be well then, I go on.

00:05:07 #32 Attend to me, full moon, and three times.

00:05:14 #33 The third you will eclipse yourself.

00:05:22 #34 Ready?

00:05:26 #35 How dare you?

00:05:27 #36 I demand, I insist.

00:05:29 #37 I call upon all the nobles.

00:05:30 #38 Two!

00:05:33 #39 This is an outrage.

00:05:34 #40 You hear an outrage.

00:05:35 #41 Nothing on earth will move me from this stage.

00:05:39 #42 Three!

00:05:40 #43 Noble gentleman, why have you done this to our moon

00:05:57 #44 for an admirable actor?

00:05:59 #45 I have two reasons.

00:06:00 #46 I, the one, conclude it.

00:06:02 #47 First, he is an abominable actor

00:06:04 #48 who mouths his verse and moans his tragedy.

00:06:07 #49 Second...

00:06:10 #50 Well, that's my secret.

00:06:14 #51 But...

00:06:15 #52 But you... you close the play.

00:06:16 #53 It is not a very good play.

00:06:18 #54 Oh, and the mere money?

00:06:20 #55 Possibly you would like that return to these good people.

00:06:22 #56 Yes?

00:06:24 #57 Yes. Here.

00:06:25 #58 Oh, monsieur, you are hereby authorized

00:06:32 #59 to close our play every night.

00:06:33 #60 On Easter.

00:06:35 #61 Ladies and gentlemen, your money will be returned.

00:06:38 #62 Kindly pass out quietly.

00:06:40 #63 Good night. Good night.

00:06:50 #64 Your cousin is an extraordinary man, Madame.

00:06:54 #65 Oh, I agree.

00:06:55 #66 Soldier, poet, philosopher, musician, playwright.

00:06:59 #67 All those?

00:07:01 #68 Yes.

00:07:02 #69 And the best swordsman in Paris.

00:07:04 #70 Really? Now I should have thought that Vicente here had that honour.

00:07:08 #71 Tell me, Madame, that comic mask that knows presently he will take it off?

00:07:15 #72 No, Monsieur, he keeps it and heaven help the man who smiles.

00:07:21 #73 Good night.

00:07:22 #74 Monsieur!

00:07:33 #75 When do you leave Paris?

00:07:35 #76 Sir?

00:07:36 #77 Why, after what you've just done to Mont-Fleurie, did you not know that the Côte d'Iguiche was his patron?

00:07:41 #78 Who is yours?

00:07:43 #79 No one.

00:07:44 #80 No one? No people?

00:07:45 #81 I said not.

00:07:46 #82 But the court de Geisha's a long line.

00:07:48 #83 Mine is longer by three feet of steel.

00:07:51 #84 Yes, but...

00:07:52 #85 But what a scare.

00:07:54 #86 You may go now.

00:07:55 #87 But...

00:07:56 #88 You may go.

00:07:57 #89 Oh, tell me, why are you staring at my nose?

00:08:00 #90 Oh, I was not staring.

00:08:02 #91 Does it astonish you?

00:08:03 #92 Well, I know. I've been careful not to look.

00:08:05 #93 Oh, and why not if you please?

00:08:07 #94 It disgusts you then.

00:08:09 #95 But no, I don't...

00:08:10 #96 Does its color appear to you unwholesome?

00:08:11 #97 By no means.

00:08:12 #98 possibly you'll find it just a trifle lie.

00:08:14 #99 No, small, very small, tiny, infinitesimal.

00:08:18 #100 What?

00:08:19 #101 You accuse me of absurdity?

00:08:21 #102 Small my nose, why, magnificent my nose.

00:08:25 #103 So you pud, you knob, you button head.

00:08:27 #104 Know that I glory in this nose of mine,

00:08:30 #105 for a great nose indicates a great man.

00:08:32 #106 Genius, courteous, intellectual, virile, courageous,

00:08:38 #107 while that face of yours, that blank,

00:08:42 #108 in glorious concavity which my right hand finds on top of you,

00:08:46 #109 is as devoid of pride, of poetry, of soul,

00:08:50 #110 of picturesqueness, of contour, of character, of nose,

00:08:56 #111 in short, as that which at the bottom of that limp spine

00:08:59 #112 of yours, my left foot.

00:09:00 #113 Oh, hell!

00:09:03 #114 Presently, this fellow will grow tiresome.

00:09:06 #115 Oh, he blows his horn.

00:09:09 #116 Well, will no one put him in his place?

00:09:12 #117 If you will allow me, observe.

00:09:17 #118 Mr. Your nose.

00:09:20 #119 Your nose is rather large.

00:09:26 #120 Rather?

00:09:27 #121 Oh, well.

00:09:28 #122 Is that all?

00:09:30 #123 Well, of course it is.

00:09:31 #124 No, young sir, you're too simple.

00:09:33 #125 Well, you might have said a great many things.

00:09:35 #126 Why waste your opportunity?

00:09:37 #127 For example, thus, aggressive.

00:09:39 #128 If that nose were mine, I'd have it amputated on the spot.

00:09:43 #129 Practical. How do you drink with such a nose?

00:09:46 #130 You must have had a cup made especially.

00:09:49 #131 Descriptive. It is a rock, a crag, a cape.

00:09:53 #132 A cape?

00:09:54 #133 Say, rather, a peninsular.

00:09:58 #134 Inquisitive. What is that receptacle?

00:10:01 #135 A razor case or a portfolio?

00:10:03 #136 Kindly.

00:10:05 #137 How do you love the little birds so much that when they come and sing to you,

00:10:08 #138 You give them this to perch on.

00:10:11 #139 Cautious. Take care.

00:10:13 #140 A weight like that might make you top heavy.

00:10:16 #141 Elegant. When it blows the typhoon howls and the clouds darken.

00:10:21 #142 Dramatic. When it bleeds...

00:10:25 #143 the Red Sea.

00:10:27 #144 Simple. When do they unveil the monument?

00:10:32 #145 Military. Beware. A secret weapon.

00:10:36 #146 Enterprising. What a sign for some perfume.

00:10:40 #147 Respectful. Sir, I recognize in you a man of parts, a man of...

00:10:45 #148 prominence. Or, literary, was this the nose that launched a thousand ships?

00:10:52 #149 These, my dear sir, are things you might have said had you some tinge of letters or of wit

00:10:56 #150 to color your discourse. But wit, not so. You never had an atom.

00:11:00 #151 And of letters you need but three to write you down.

00:11:03 #152 A. S. S.

00:11:06 #153 Bunkin' fool! How do you do?

00:11:14 #154 And I, Cyrano Savignin Hercules de Bergerat.

00:11:19 #155 He can't come such arrogance to Scarecrow who...

00:11:23 #156 Look at him.

00:11:24 #157 No ribbons, no lace, not even gloves. True.

00:11:29 #158 I carry my adornments only on my soul,

00:11:32 #159 decked with deeds instead of ribbons,

00:11:34 #160 mantled in my good name and crowned with a white plume of freedom. But...

00:11:38 #161 But I have no gloves. A pity, too.

00:11:40 #162 I had one, the last one of an old pair, and lost that.

00:11:44 #163 Very careless of me.

00:11:45 #164 Some gentleman offered me an impertinence.

00:11:48 #165 I left it... in his face.

00:11:52 #166 So be it.

00:11:54 #167 You shall die exquisitely.

00:11:56 #168 Oh, a poet.

00:11:58 #169 Oh, yes, a poet, if you will.

00:11:59 #170 So, uh, while we fight, I'll improvise a ballad for you,

00:12:03 #171 and as I end the refrain...

00:12:06 #172 thrust home.

00:12:07 #173 Will you?

00:12:09 #174 I will.

00:12:17 #175 Sure, the bourgogne between the Bejrak and a barbarian.

00:12:22 #176 What do you mean by that?

00:12:24 #177 Oh, that is the title.

00:12:26 #178 Let me choose my rhymes.

00:12:38 #179 Here we go.

00:12:40 #180 Lightly I toss my hat away,

00:12:42 #181 languidly over my arm let fall,

00:12:44 #182 the cloak that covers my bright array,

00:12:47 #183 then out swords,

00:12:50 #184 and to work with all.

00:12:52 #185 Ladies' hall, a Spartacus at the hippo-hole.

00:13:03 #186 I dally a while with you, dear Jack-O.

00:13:40 #187 Where shall I skewer my peacock?

00:13:48 #188 Any better for you to have shunned this brawl?

00:13:53 #189 Here in the heart, through your ribbons, gay?

00:13:56 #190 In the belly, neath your silken shawl?

00:13:59 #191 How come I point floats, light as the foam,

00:14:09 #192 ready to drive you back to the wall,

00:14:10 #193 then as I end the refrain,

00:14:12 #194 Trust home.

00:14:14 #195 Ho for a ride.

00:14:16 #196 By your finest way.

00:14:17 #197 You break.

00:14:18 #198 You cower. You cringe. You crawl.

00:14:21 #199 How can I carry your last to say,

00:14:23 #200 Somy the turn of my hand for stall,

00:14:24 #201 Life with its honey, death with its gall,

00:14:27 #202 Somy the turn of my fancy roam,

00:14:29 #203 Free for a time till the rhymes recall,

00:14:31 #204 Then as I end the refrain,

00:14:32 #205 Trust home.

00:14:36 #206 Refrain.

00:14:37 #207 Prince,

00:14:39 #208 Pray God there is Lord of all.

00:14:41 #209 Pardon your soul.

00:14:44 #210 for your time has come.

00:14:46 #211 A sling of a slant of straw, then as I end the refrain.

00:14:53 #212 Ladies and gentlemen, please, please, the performance is over.

00:15:43 #213 Close the house, strike.

00:15:45 #214 But leave the lights. We rehearse the new farce tonight.

00:15:53 #215 Wait.

00:15:56 #216 You'll have only to watch a fight or have you ruin if you listen to them.

00:15:59 #217 Think of the enemies you've made.

00:16:04 #218 Montferry, the beaker, if he lives.

00:16:06 #219 All those Polish marquis, the court de guise.

00:16:09 #220 That politician.

00:16:11 #221 He's the Cardinal's nephew. There's power there.

00:16:13 #222 And power here.

00:16:15 #223 Young fool.

00:16:17 #224 Take an example from me.

00:16:18 #225 Twenty years, a captain.

00:16:20 #226 My lovers, who know only how to deploy their forces at court,

00:16:23 #227 now dangle a marshal's baton.

00:16:27 #228 Well, someday I will avenge you too.

00:16:29 #229 Impossible. Come on, let's go to dinner.

00:16:32 #230 Dinner? No, not I.

00:16:33 #231 Why not?

00:16:34 #232 Because I have no money.

00:16:37 #233 But the purse of gold.

00:16:38 #234 Farewell, paternal pension.

00:16:41 #235 Then you have until the first of next month.

00:16:43 #236 Nothing.

00:16:45 #237 What a fool.

00:16:46 #238 Yes, but what a moment.

00:16:48 #239 Pardon, Monsieur.

00:16:50 #240 A man ought never to go hungry.

00:16:55 #241 I have everything here.

00:16:57 #242 Please.

00:16:58 #243 My dear child, I cannot bend this gas-cone pride of mine to accept such a kindness.

00:17:03 #244 But I...

00:17:04 #245 Yet for fear that I may give you pain if I refuse,

00:17:08 #246 I will take something.

00:17:11 #247 A grape, one only.

00:17:17 #248 And a glass of water, no, clear.

00:17:20 #249 And, uh, half a macaroon.

00:17:28 #250 Nothing more?

00:17:30 #251 Well, yes. Your hand took a kiss.

00:17:33 #252 Thank you, sir.

00:17:52 #253 Idiot.

00:18:02 #254 Dinner? More juice, I was hungry. Abominably.

00:18:17 #255 Tell me.

00:18:18 #256 Anything.

00:18:19 #257 Why do you hate this morphory?

00:18:22 #258 A very bad actor.

00:18:24 #259 I'll come now the real reason, the truth.

00:18:26 #260 That fat goat who cannot hold his belly in his arms

00:18:31 #261 still dreams of being sweetly dangerous among the women.

00:18:34 #262 Size and languishers making sheep's eyes out of his great frog's face.

00:18:39 #263 I hate him ever since one day he dared smile upon.

00:18:43 #264 Oh, my friend, I seem to see over some flower a great snail crawling.

00:18:50 #265 What? Is it possible?

00:18:54 #266 For me to love.

00:18:58 #267 May I know?

00:19:04 #268 For whom I love?

00:19:06 #269 Think a moment. Think of me.

00:19:09 #270 Me whom the plainest woman would despise.

00:19:12 #271 Me with this nose of mine that marches on before me by a quarter of an hour.

00:19:17 #272 Whom shall I love?

00:19:19 #273 Why, of course, it must be the woman in the world most beautiful.

00:19:26 #274 Most beautiful?

00:19:28 #275 In these eyes of mine beyond compare.

00:19:34 #276 Wait. Your cousin, Roxane, why not?

00:19:45 #277 If you love her, tell her so.

00:19:47 #278 Look at me and tell me how much hope remains for me with this protuberance.

00:19:56 #279 I have no more illusions.

00:19:58 #280 Now and then I may grow tender walking alone in the blue cool of evening

00:20:03 #281 through some garden fresh with flowers after the benediction of the rain.

00:20:08 #282 My poor big devil of a nose in Hale's April,

00:20:12 #283 and I follow with my eyes where some boy,

00:20:16 #284 with a girl upon his arm, passes a patch of silver.

00:20:21 #285 And I feel somehow I wish I had a woman too,

00:20:27 #286 walking with me under the moon and holding my arm and smiling.

00:20:33 #287 And then I dream and I forget.

00:20:37 #288 And then I see the shadow of my profile on the wall.

00:20:45 #289 My friend.

00:20:50 #290 I have my bitter days knowing myself so ugly, so alone.

00:20:54 #291 But you're wit, you're courage.

00:20:56 #292 By that poor child who just now offered you your dinner.

00:20:59 #293 You saw it, her eyes did not avoid you.

00:21:02 #294 Well then, Roxane herself, watching your duel.

00:21:10 #295 Pale. Pale.

00:21:11 #296 Yes, her lips potted her hand at her breast.

00:21:14 #297 Thus I saw it. Speak to her. Speak, man.

00:21:18 #298 It is the one thing in this world I fear.

00:21:34 #299 Pardon, Monsieur. A lady outside asking for you.

00:21:38 #300 Monsieur?

00:21:42 #301 Edouane.

00:21:43 #302 I have a message for you from a certain lady.

00:21:46 #303 She desires to know when and where she may see you privately.

00:21:49 #304 She has certain things to tell you.

00:21:52 #305 Certain?

00:21:53 #306 Things.

00:21:54 #307 She wishes to see me.

00:21:58 #308 We go tomorrow at dawn to hear Master Sanderock.

00:22:00 #309 And afterwards, where would you suggest?

00:22:03 #310 Well...

00:22:08 #311 I am thinking.

00:22:09 #312 And you think?

00:22:11 #313 The shop of Ragnos?

00:22:14 #314 Yes, yes. Ragnos, the pastry cook.

00:22:16 #315 Who dwells?

00:22:17 #316 Oh, well...

00:22:18 #317 Rue Saint Honoré.

00:22:20 #318 We are agreed.

00:22:22 #319 Seven o'clock until then.

00:22:24 #320 Sir?

00:22:25 #321 I'll be there to see me.

00:22:36 #322 Not quite so gloomy.

00:22:38 #323 After all, she knows that I exist.

00:22:39 #324 Imagine she has asked to see me.

00:22:42 #325 So, now you're going to be happy.

00:22:45 #326 I'm going to be a storm, a flame.

00:22:47 #327 I need to fight whole armies all alone.

00:22:50 #328 I have ten hearts. I have a hundred arms.

00:22:53 #329 I feel too strong to war with mortals.

00:22:57 #330 Bring me giants.

00:22:59 #331 Don't worry. Quiet, please.

00:23:01 #332 Shh. We'll be rehearsing back here.

00:23:08 #333 Raggan, thank goodness you're still here.

00:23:19 #334 What's the matter?

00:23:21 #335 I'm afraid to go home.

00:23:22 #336 Why?

00:23:23 #337 You know those comic verses I wrote about the Comte Giche?

00:23:27 #338 Cyrano, he's high agrofian.

00:23:28 #339 Bullies.

00:23:29 #340 A hundred of them waiting for me on the way home.

00:23:32 #341 They're going to beat me, tame me.

00:23:33 #342 Please, would you permit me to spend the night with you?

00:23:36 #343 A hundred men, is that all?

00:23:39 #344 Raggan-o, you're going home tonight.

00:23:41 #345 But they are!

00:23:42 #346 They're cutthroat.

00:23:43 #347 Take this ladder.

00:23:44 #348 Forward march.

00:23:45 #349 I say I'll be the man that sees you to your shop.

00:23:47 #350 Not you. I want no hope from any of them.

00:23:49 #351 Yes, sir. I'm a hundred years man.

00:23:50 #352 Go to the arts. I want it.

00:23:52 #353 Risk your life for this pastry cook.

00:23:54 #354 First, because this pastry cook is a friend of mine.

00:23:56 #355 Second, because this pastry cook is also a poet.

00:23:59 #356 And most important, if anything should happen to this pastry cook,

00:24:03 #357 tomorrow morning at seven, his shop will be closed.

00:24:10 #358 Good night.

00:24:15 #359 How many did we kill?

00:24:46 #360 Oh, about eight.

00:28:52 #361 Eight. Eight.

00:28:53 #362 The sauce and meat must rhyme. Add a pinch of marigold and thyme.

00:29:31 #363 Your house, of course, needs a stronger roof.

00:29:35 #364 Huh?

00:29:36 #365 There's proof.

00:29:37 #366 Cyrano.

00:29:39 #367 Come here and eat something.

00:29:41 #368 Not quite, sir.

00:29:43 #369 For now, please, sir.

00:29:44 #370 A man without breakfast is like...

00:29:46 #371 Oh.

00:29:47 #372 If she has changed her mind...

00:29:48 #373 Oh, she wouldn't dare.

00:29:49 #374 We were magnificent last night.

00:29:53 #375 And at the theater too.

00:29:55 #376 Then, as I end the refrain...

00:29:57 #377 When she arrives, we can burst undisturbed.

00:30:00 #378 Whatever you like. My shop is yours.

00:30:02 #379 The little dining room is quite romantic.

00:30:04 #380 For us, home.

00:30:06 #381 You got what I like.

00:30:08 #382 Then, as I end the refrain...

00:30:10 #383 She's gone. I'm sorry.

00:30:12 #384 One word.

00:30:32 #385 Oh, yes?

00:30:33 #386 Have you a good digestion?

00:30:34 #387 Wonderful.

00:30:35 #388 Here are some eclairs.

00:30:38 #389 Some jello rolls.

00:30:40 #390 And you like nature?

00:30:41 #391 I adore it.

00:30:42 #392 Then go and eat these in the sunshine.

00:30:44 #393 Do not return.

00:30:45 #394 But I...

00:30:46 #395 Until you have finished them.

00:30:47 #396 Look at that, you...

00:30:48 #397 Blessed above all others be the hour when you remembered to remember me

00:30:51 #398 and came to tell me what.

00:31:04 #399 To tell you that, but before I dare tell you,

00:31:07 #400 are you, I wonder, still the same big brother almost

00:31:13 #401 that you used to be when we were children?

00:31:15 #402 Are you, I wonder, still the same big brother, almost?

00:31:18 #403 That you used to be when we were children,

00:31:20 #404 playing by the pond in the old garden down here.

00:31:22 #405 Hey, Bejarak, those lovely summers.

00:31:25 #406 You used to make swords out of full rush.

00:31:26 #407 And you dandelion dolls with golden hair.

00:31:29 #408 In those days, I could tell you everything.

00:31:31 #409 And you did everything I wished.

00:31:33 #410 Little ruck son, a sweet tyrant in short skirts and long hair.

00:31:38 #411 Was I pretty?

00:31:45 #412 Sometimes when you had fallen or heard your hand,

00:31:47 #413 you used to come running to me.

00:31:49 #414 And I would be your mother and say, oh, in a very grown-up voice,

00:31:53 #415 now what have you been doing to yourself?

00:31:56 #416 Let me see.

00:31:59 #417 Oh.

00:32:00 #418 Wait, let me see.

00:32:02 #419 Still, at your age.

00:32:05 #420 Now how did you do that?

00:32:07 #421 Playing with the big boys at the Blastanel.

00:32:10 #422 Come here, baby.

00:32:12 #423 Such a wise little mother.

00:32:14 #424 And tell me while I wash this blood away how many

00:32:16 #425 you played with.

00:32:17 #426 No, about 100.

00:32:19 #427 A hundred?

00:32:20 #428 More or less.

00:32:22 #429 Tell me.

00:32:23 #430 No.

00:32:25 #431 Tell me what you were going to tell me...

00:32:27 #432 if you dared.

00:32:29 #433 I think I do dare now.

00:32:32 #434 It seems so like those happy days long ago.

00:32:36 #435 Yes, I dare.

00:32:37 #436 Listen...

00:32:39 #437 I love someone.

00:32:41 #438 Yes?

00:32:42 #439 Someone who does not know.

00:32:43 #440 Yes.

00:32:44 #441 Someone who loves me too, but is afraid of me and keeps away

00:32:48 #442 He never says one word.

00:32:52 #443 Give me back my hand.

00:32:55 #444 Well, how hot it is.

00:32:57 #445 Yes, he loves me.

00:32:58 #446 I am sure of it.

00:33:00 #447 Yes.

00:33:01 #448 And he is a soldier, too.

00:33:03 #449 In your own regiment, your company.

00:33:05 #450 Yes.

00:33:06 #451 And such a man.

00:33:08 #452 He is proud, noble, young, brave, beautiful.

00:33:18 #453 What's the matter?

00:33:19 #454 There's nothing.

00:33:21 #455 This is my hand.

00:33:23 #456 Well, I love him.

00:33:26 #457 That is all.

00:33:28 #458 And I have never seen him anywhere except at the theater.

00:33:32 #459 You have never spoken?

00:33:34 #460 Only with our eyes.

00:33:36 #461 Well, then, how do you know?

00:33:38 #462 Well, people talk about people, and I hear things.

00:33:44 #463 And I know.

00:33:47 #464 You say he is in the guards.

00:33:49 #465 His name?

00:33:51 #466 Baron Christian de Neville.

00:33:55 #467 She is not in the guards?

00:33:58 #468 Yes, since last week.

00:34:00 #469 He has only lately come to Paris from Normandy.

00:34:06 #470 So soon we lose our hearts.

00:34:10 #471 I have eaten all the cake.

00:34:12 #472 Good. I'll go out and enjoy nature.

00:34:16 #473 With my dear child you lovely words, wit, poetry.

00:34:19 #474 Why, for all you know, the man may be a savage or a fool.

00:34:23 #475 Not with such eyes.

00:34:25 #476 I read his soul in them.

00:34:28 #477 Yes, all our souls are written in our eyes.

00:34:31 #478 brought me here to tell me this.

00:34:36 #479 I do not yet quite understand, madam, the reason for your confidence.

00:34:40 #480 They say that in your company frightens me.

00:34:45 #481 You are all gas-scalded.

00:34:46 #482 With a guckwaddle with any outsider who intrudes himself is that what you have heard?

00:34:49 #483 I am so afraid for him.

00:34:51 #484 Not without reason.

00:34:52 #485 And I thought you, if you whom they all respect and fear...

00:34:59 #486 You want me to defend your little Baron?

00:35:02 #487 Will you?

00:35:03 #488 Just for me.

00:35:05 #489 Because I have always been your friend.

00:35:07 #490 And this is what you want of me.

00:35:10 #491 Will you be his friend?

00:35:11 #492 I will be his friend.

00:35:15 #493 And never let him fight at you?

00:35:16 #494 No, never.

00:35:17 #495 Promise?

00:35:19 #496 I promised.

00:35:20 #497 Oh, thank you.

00:35:22 #498 Thank you. I knew I could rely on you.

00:35:27 #499 Well, now I must go.

00:35:29 #500 Oh, you never told me about last night.

00:35:37 #501 Why, you must have been a hero.

00:35:39 #502 Have him. I can tell me all about his hand.

00:35:41 #503 And about himself.

00:35:44 #504 You are done.

00:35:46 #505 We are great friends, are we not?

00:35:48 #506 He must write to me.

00:35:51 #507 A hundred men against one.

00:35:53 #508 You shall tell me the whole story someday when we have time.

00:35:56 #509 But at men, what curse...

00:36:07 #510 I've done better.

00:36:18 #511 Let us leave this place.

00:36:19 #512 But the whole company is on its way here. Oh, no.

00:36:21 #513 They're on my heels. Naturally, I told them all about last night.

00:36:24 #514 They're wild. Here they are. Captain, why did you?

00:36:27 #515 Perhaps I can stop them.

00:36:42 #516 Eight dead men in the street. Scandalous.

00:36:45 #517 You know my edict against dueling, nephew.

00:36:47 #518 I expect to have it enforced.

00:36:49 #519 Furthermore, I wish to know who was responsible

00:36:51 #520 for last night's outrage at the Plastinel.

00:36:53 #521 I understand your eminence.

00:36:55 #522 Very well.

00:36:56 #523 And now I have news that should be more to your liking.

00:37:01 #524 I fear, in confidence, our uneasy armistice with Spain is doomed.

00:37:06 #525 My colonel say?

00:37:07 #526 Your commission has been prepared.

00:37:09 #527 Oh, thank you, uncle. Thank you.

00:37:12 #528 One thing more. Last night at the theatre, the jewel in rhyme, that guardsman with the nose.

00:37:20 #529 The de Bergerac, that impossible gascon.

00:37:22 #530 Yes, impossible.

00:37:23 #531 His treatment of Montflourie.

00:37:24 #532 Abominable.

00:37:25 #533 The arrogance with which he closed the play.

00:37:27 #534 Incredible.

00:37:28 #535 It would be a miracle if the Viscont survives.

00:37:30 #536 Glorable.

00:37:31 #537 What will you do with him, your Eminence?

00:37:33 #538 I? Nothing. I thought I might leave that to you.

00:37:37 #539 To me?

00:37:37 #540 Yes. Place him somewhere in your service with a comfortable allowance.

00:37:43 #541 He looked a little threadbare.

00:37:44 #542 I... you... but your Eminence, you detest dual English.

00:37:48 #543 Of course I do. Why didn't you prevent it?

00:37:52 #544 I should much prefer that Monsieur de Bergerac live by the pen,

00:37:56 #545 rather than die by the sword.

00:37:59 #546 Do you not agree, Antoine?

00:38:02 #547 By all means, your Eminence. By all means.

00:38:05 #548 And then, as I end the refrain, thrust him.

00:38:14 #549 Monsieur de Bejerac.

00:38:43 #550 Your Excellency.

00:38:45 #551 I have come to express my admiration for both your exploits last night.

00:38:51 #552 Indeed. Thank you.

00:38:54 #553 My dear fellow, we may have had our differences, but I am disposed to forget them.

00:39:00 #554 That is very generous of you, sir.

00:39:02 #555 No, truly.

00:39:04 #556 You are, it seems, a man of many skills.

00:39:07 #557 A rare combination, soldier and poet.

00:39:11 #558 Would you care to join my following?

00:39:13 #559 No, sir. I do not follow.

00:39:17 #560 I am told you have written a play.

00:39:19 #561 As you know, my uncle, the Cardinal, is also a dramatist.

00:39:22 #562 I might help you there.

00:39:24 #563 Cyrano, now at last you can have it performed.

00:39:27 #564 Why not? I could take it to him.

00:39:29 #565 Oh, let him rewrite a few lines here and there, and he'll find a theater for you.

00:39:37 #566 Rewrite? My lines? Impossible.

00:39:42 #567 But when he likes a thing, he pays well.

00:39:45 #568 Yes, but not as well as I. When I have made a line that sings itself, I pay myself a hundred times.

00:39:50 #569 You are proud, my friend.

00:39:52 #570 You have observed that.

00:39:53 #571 Cyrano, see what we found in the street.

00:39:56 #572 Poems dropped in their flight by those fine birds who showed their tail feathers.

00:40:00 #573 The man who hired those scoundrels, he must be an angry man today.

00:40:05 #574 Who was it? Do you know? It was I.

00:40:08 #575 I hired them to do the sort of work we do not soil our hands with.

00:40:13 #576 Punishing an insolent poet.

00:40:16 #577 They ought to be mounted before they spoil. What shall we do with them?

00:40:20 #578 Sir, will you not return these to your friends?

00:40:28 #579 Have you read Don Quixote?

00:40:35 #580 I have and found myself the hero.

00:40:37 #581 Be so good as to read once more the chapter of the windmills.

00:40:40 #582 Chapter 13.

00:40:42 #583 Windmills, remember, if you fight with them,

00:40:45 #584 may swing round their huge arms and cast you down into the mire.

00:40:49 #585 Or up among the stars.

00:40:52 #586 You've done it now. You've made your fortune.

00:41:00 #587 He was willing to forget.

00:41:02 #588 There you go again, growling.

00:41:03 #589 Yes. This latest pose of yours.

00:41:06 #590 ruining every opportunity that comes your way becomes exaggerated.

00:41:09 #591 Very well then I exaggerate.

00:41:10 #592 There are certain things in this world a man does well to carry to extreme.

00:41:13 #593 Ah, your precious independence, your white plume.

00:41:16 #594 What?

00:41:17 #595 How do you expect to succeed in life?

00:41:18 #596 What would you have me do?

00:41:19 #597 Seek for the patronage of some great man

00:41:21 #598 and like a creeping vial on a tall tree,

00:41:23 #599 crawl up at where I cannot stand alone?

00:41:26 #600 No.

00:41:27 #601 Thank you.

00:41:28 #602 Be a buffoon in the vial hope of teasing out a smile on some cold face.

00:41:32 #603 No thank you.

00:41:34 #604 Eat a toad for breakfast every morning, make my knees callous, cultivate a supple spine,

00:41:39 #605 wear out my belly, groveling in the dust. No thank you.

00:41:42 #606 With my left hand, scratch the back of any swine, the roots of gold for me, while my right,

00:41:47 #607 too proud to know his partner's business, takes in the fee, no thank you.

00:41:52 #608 Shall I use the fire God gave me to burn incense all day long? No thank you.

00:41:57 #609 Struggle to insinuate my name into the columns of the Gazette?

00:42:00 #610 the columns of the Gazette, calculate, scheme, be afraid,

00:42:04 #611 love more to make a visit than a poem, seek introductions,

00:42:07 #612 favors, influences.

00:42:09 #613 No, thank you.

00:42:10 #614 No, I thank you.

00:42:11 #615 And again, I thank you.

00:42:18 #616 To sing, to laugh, to dream, to walk in my own way,

00:42:23 #617 free with an eye to see things as they are.

00:42:27 #618 A voice that means manhood.

00:42:30 #619 To cock my head where I choose.

00:42:32 #620 And a word, a yes, a no to fight, or write,

00:42:40 #621 but never to make a line I have not heard in my own heart.

00:42:44 #622 To travel any road under the sun, under the stars,

00:42:49 #623 nor care a famer fortune lie beyond the borne.

00:42:54 #624 Yet with all modesty to say, my soul

00:42:57 #625 be satisfied with flowers, with weeds, with thorns even.

00:43:04 #626 But gather them in the one garden you may call your own.

00:43:08 #627 In a world I'm too proud to be a parasite, then if my nature lets the germ that grows

00:43:13 #628 towering to heaven like the mountain pine, I stand not high it may be.

00:43:21 #629 Alone, yes, but why go about making enemies?

00:43:25 #630 watching other people making friends everywhere as a dog makes friends.

00:43:31 #631 I mark the manner of these canine courtesies and think here comes thank heaven another enemy.

00:43:39 #632 Yes, tell this to all the world.

00:43:42 #633 And then to me say very softly that she loves you not.

00:43:48 #634 Give us your story of the fight.

00:44:00 #635 Story now!

00:44:03 #636 All any Malone, there's time enough.

00:44:05 #637 I want it now!

00:44:06 #638 Now, as an example for that young tadpole sneaking out the doorway.

00:44:12 #639 You there!

00:44:13 #640 Are you addressing me?

00:44:20 #641 Flat-footed Norman farmer.

00:44:26 #642 You wish something of me?

00:44:31 #643 Listen, Monsieur de-de-de, whatever your name is.

00:44:34 #644 De Nervilette!

00:44:35 #645 Berton-Christian de Nervilette.

00:44:37 #646 Very well, de Nervilette.

00:44:39 #647 As you are a newcomer here, you should know there is a certain subject,

00:44:43 #648 or object, if you prefer, that is never mentioned among us.

00:44:46 #649 And that is.

00:44:47 #650 Look at me. Do you understand?

00:44:51 #651 You mean the...

00:44:52 #652 Shwee never speak that word.

00:44:55 #653 To even breathe it is to have to do with him.

00:44:58 #654 He has exterminated several whose mere tone of voice suggested.

00:45:02 #655 Would you die before your time?

00:45:04 #656 Just mention anything convex or cartilaginous.

00:45:08 #657 One word, one syllable, one gesture,

00:45:11 #658 nay, one sneeze.

00:45:12 #659 And your handkerchief becomes your winding sheets.

00:45:19 #660 Sir, what is the proper thing to do when gas cones grow too boastful?

00:45:24 #661 Prove to them that one may be a Norman and still have courage.

00:45:28 #662 Thank you.

00:45:35 #663 Oh, and sir, though, your...

00:45:42 #664 Now, let me see. Why should we begin?

00:45:44 #665 I sat out with our host to meet those scoundrels,

00:45:46 #666 not knowing where they might attack.

00:45:48 #667 No lamps in those narrow back streets.

00:45:51 #668 No moon in the sky.

00:45:52 #669 Everything dark.

00:45:55 #670 It was so dark, more deuce, you could not see beyond.

00:45:58 #671 Your nose!

00:45:59 #672 I've lost a week.

00:46:32 #673 Very crude, eh?

00:46:36 #674 His name is Christian de Novillette.

00:46:38 #675 You could not see your hand before your eyes.

00:47:08 #676 I marched on thinking how old for the sake of one amateur poet

00:47:13 #677 who wrote a verse whenever he took a noseful.

00:47:16 #678 Whenever he took a notion,

00:47:20 #679 I might antagonize some dangerous man.

00:47:22 #680 One powerful enough to make me pay through the nose.

00:47:25 #681 Pay the paper.

00:47:27 #682 After all, I thought, why am I putting in my nose?

00:47:29 #683 Well, it's none of mine.

00:47:33 #684 However, now that I am here, I may as well go through with it.

00:47:35 #685 Come, Gascon, do your duty.

00:47:36 #686 Suddenly a sword flashed in the dark.

00:47:39 #687 I called it fair. I'm the nose!

00:47:42 #688 On my blade! Before I knew it, then I was...

00:47:44 #689 Rubbing noses!

00:47:45 #690 ...rousing swords with harvest-scored ones!

00:47:48 #691 I handed one of them...

00:47:49 #692 Nose!

00:47:52 #693 He went down the rest of the way. I charged...

00:47:55 #694 Nose and ear!

00:47:56 #695 I skewed to them!

00:47:57 #696 This harm was hurt! Another lunge, then I parried...

00:47:59 #697 With your nose!

00:48:01 #698 Right on!

00:48:21 #699 Sir, you have courage that pleases me.

00:48:23 #700 Why?

00:48:24 #701 Come, do you not know I am her brother? Who's?

00:48:26 #702 Her is, Roxanne.

00:48:28 #703 Your brother?

00:48:34 #704 Well, a distant cousin, much the same.

00:48:36 #705 And she has told you?

00:48:37 #706 Everything.

00:48:38 #707 She loves me?

00:48:39 #708 Perhaps.

00:48:41 #709 My dear sir, more than I can say, I am honored.

00:48:43 #710 This is rather sudden.

00:48:44 #711 Please, forgive me.

00:48:46 #712 If you knew how much I have admired you.

00:48:48 #713 Yes, yes, yes, and all those knows.

00:48:49 #714 Please, I apologize.

00:48:52 #715 Roxanne expects a letter.

00:48:54 #716 From me? Oh, yes, why not?

00:48:56 #717 Oh, no.

00:48:57 #718 Once I write, that ruins everything.

00:48:59 #719 Why?

00:49:00 #720 Because any schoolboy could write where more gracefully than I am.

00:49:03 #721 I'm a fool.

00:49:05 #722 You did not attack me like a fool.

00:49:06 #723 No, anyone can pick a quarrel.

00:49:08 #724 No, I've never had a loss for words among men, but with any woman...

00:49:12 #725 I'm paralyzed. Speechless, dumb.

00:49:15 #726 I'm one of those stammering idiots who can not court a woman.

00:49:19 #727 Really?

00:49:20 #728 As for myself, it seems to me that given the opportunity,

00:49:24 #729 and if I put my mind to it...

00:49:27 #730 I could do that rather well.

00:49:28 #731 Oh, if I had words to say what I have here.

00:49:31 #732 If I were handsome like you, together we could make one mighty hero of romance.

00:49:37 #733 If only I had your wit.

00:49:44 #734 Borrow it then.

00:49:46 #735 What?

00:49:51 #736 Would you, dare repeat to her the words I gave you day by day,

00:49:54 #737 send to her the letters that I write?

00:49:56 #738 I mean Roxanne shall have no disillusionment.

00:49:59 #739 Come, shall we win her both together?

00:50:01 #740 For you?

00:50:02 #741 But, Sarah, no, I...

00:50:02 #742 But, Christian, why not?

00:50:04 #743 I'm afraid.

00:50:05 #744 I'm afraid that when you have her all alone, you will lose her.

00:50:08 #745 Have no fear, it is yourself she loves.

00:50:10 #746 Give her yourself.

00:50:12 #747 Put into words my words upon your lips.

00:50:18 #748 Will you?

00:50:23 #749 Does it mean so much to you?

00:50:24 #750 It means...

00:50:28 #751 It means a comedy, a situation for a poet.

00:50:31 #752 Come, shall we collaborate?

00:50:32 #753 I'll be your cloak of darkness, your enchanted sword,

00:50:36 #754 your ring to charm the fairy princess.

00:50:40 #755 Think is the prize not worth the danger?

00:50:45 #756 My friend.

00:50:49 #757 Take my heart.

00:50:52 #758 I shall have it all the more.

00:50:54 #759 Plucking the flowers, we but keep the plant in bloom.

00:50:58 #760 Thus do I love thee, my dove.

00:51:00 #761 There are a dozen ways to read that line.

00:51:06 #762 Can't you give it some meaning?

00:51:07 #763 Any meaning!

00:51:08 #764 Thus do I love thee!

00:51:13 #765 THE! THE!

00:51:14 #766 Oh, your smile has known a perfect thing.

00:51:19 #767 You are a white rose wherein love lies in ambush for his natural prey.

00:51:24 #768 In the garden of my heart you are the most...

00:51:27 #769 the most...

00:51:31 #770 fragrant blossom.

00:51:34 #771 As the tender sapling thirsts for rain.

00:51:39 #772 As the eagle seeks the sky.

00:51:42 #773 As the wave hurtles toward the shore, my heart yearns for you.

00:51:48 #774 Good, good.

00:51:49 #775 You know, you're beginning to have a feel for words.

00:51:53 #776 Words? I'm sick of words.

00:51:55 #777 Those are your weapons. How else do you conquer?

00:51:56 #778 Here's what, when, when. They're fighting in the north now.

00:51:59 #779 You know that. The regiment could be called up any day,

00:52:01 #780 and I'd never even kissed her.

00:52:03 #781 Patience, my boy. Patience.

00:52:05 #782 I've been patient.

00:52:07 #783 Why, she sees the conteguishes often as she does me.

00:52:11 #784 She's playing with me, making a fool of me.

00:52:17 #785 Impossible.

00:52:18 #786 How can you say, how do you know?

00:52:21 #787 Serino, you have her confidence. You could find out.

00:52:25 #788 Nonsense, I say. I'll scout the terrain.

00:52:38 #789 But Serino, intelligently discreetly.

00:52:40 #790 Yes, sir.

00:52:41 #791 With Vanessa.

00:52:42 #792 How do you think of Cristian after all these weeks?

00:52:49 #793 He's beautiful and brilliant, and I love him.

00:52:52 #794 Good. Now, do you find him intellectual?

00:52:55 #795 More so than you even.

00:52:57 #796 Huh? Oh, I didn't mean to.

00:52:58 #797 No, no, no, no. I am glad.

00:53:00 #798 No man ever so beautifully said those things,

00:53:03 #799 Those pretty nothings that are everything.

00:53:06 #800 Sometimes he falls into a reverie.

00:53:10 #801 His inspiration fails.

00:53:13 #802 But then all at once he will say something absolutely...

00:53:18 #803 Oh, how like a man.

00:53:22 #804 You think because a man has a handsome face he must be a fool.

00:53:27 #805 Not necessarily.

00:53:28 #806 He talks well about matters of the heart.

00:53:32 #807 He does not talk.

00:53:34 #808 He raps it, I says, dreams.

00:53:36 #809 Only the other night, he said to me, extemporaneously, mind you.

00:53:40 #810 Oh, of course.

00:53:41 #811 Take my heart. I shall have it all the more.

00:53:45 #812 Plucking the flowers, we but keep the plant in bloom.

00:53:49 #813 Well?

00:53:51 #814 Passable. He writes well.

00:53:54 #815 Wonderful. Listen now.

00:53:56 #816 Knowing you have in store more heart to give

00:53:59 #817 than I define heart rule.

00:54:00 #818 The first he has too much heart than too little.

00:54:02 #819 Just how much heart does he need?

00:54:04 #820 You are teasing me.

00:54:05 #821 You are jealous. Jealous? Yes.

00:54:08 #822 Your poets are all alike.

00:54:11 #823 Would you dare criticize these lines?

00:54:14 #824 Only believe that unto you my whole heart gives one cry.

00:54:19 #825 And writing writes down more than you receive.

00:54:23 #826 Sending your kisses through my fingertips.

00:54:28 #827 Lady, oh, read my letter with your lips.

00:54:33 #828 Yes, those last lines. But he overwrites.

00:54:38 #829 Listen to this.

00:54:39 #830 You know them all by heart? Every month.

00:54:41 #831 I may call that flattering.

00:54:42 #832 He is a master.

00:54:43 #833 Oh, come.

00:54:44 #834 Yes, a master.

00:54:45 #835 Ah, a master, if you will.

00:54:51 #836 And when do you bestow the laurel wreath?

00:54:54 #837 How many prodigies of poetry must this new Hercules perform?

00:54:59 #838 I do not know.

00:55:00 #839 My friend, you men own the world and all that's in it.

00:55:05 #840 Woman is at best a prize, a property valued much the same as a horse or a dog,

00:55:11 #841 on length of hair and sheen of skin and soundness of teeth and limb.

00:55:16 #842 Well, if I must be chattel, then the term shall be mine,

00:55:21 #843 and the price, according to my own values, dear.

00:55:28 #844 I see.

00:55:29 #845 Christiana tells me that you meet tonight.

00:55:36 #846 What will you have him speak about?

00:55:40 #847 Oh, nothing.

00:55:42 #848 And everything.

00:55:43 #849 I shall say, speak to me of love in your own words.

00:55:48 #850 Improvise, rhapsodize.

00:55:51 #851 Be eloquent.

00:55:53 #852 But you will not tell him will you?

00:55:55 #853 Perish the thought.

00:55:57 #854 Madame, court de guiche.

00:56:00 #855 Monsieur.

00:56:10 #856 Brilliant faces for delicate sensibilities. No

00:56:35 #857 I'll have no more of it taking all my words my sentence is all from you making our love a little comedy

00:56:40 #858 Don't you it was a game at first, but now she cares

00:56:43 #859 Thanks to you. I'm not afraid any longer. I'll speak for myself. No undoubtedly. I will you shall see

00:56:50 #860 Besides I know I'm not to take a woman in my arms and tonight. I will thank you my friends and goodbye

00:57:01 #861 I beg of you leave me. You're making a grave away

00:57:04 #862 Hey!

00:57:07 #863 So be it.

00:57:08 #864 Christian.

00:57:15 #865 Roxanne.

00:57:16 #866 I am so glad you were early.

00:57:19 #867 Let us stay out here in the moonlight.

00:57:22 #868 It is so pleasant.

00:57:24 #869 Sit down.

00:57:27 #870 There you are.

00:57:34 #871 Now, speak to me.

00:57:37 #872 I love you.

00:57:39 #873 Yes, speak to me of love.

00:57:41 #874 Love you.

00:57:47 #875 Now be eloquent.

00:57:48 #876 Be brilliant for me.

00:57:50 #877 Tonight of all nights.

00:57:52 #878 I love you so.

00:57:55 #879 You have your thing.

00:57:59 #880 Thou improvised wraps at eyes.

00:58:01 #881 I love you very much.

00:58:08 #882 I ask for cream and you give me milk and water.

00:58:12 #883 Tell me first a little bit how you love me.

00:58:16 #884 Very much.

00:58:19 #885 Is that all you feel?

00:58:20 #886 Your throat. If only I might kiss it. Christian!

00:58:24 #887 But Roxanne, I love you.

00:58:26 #888 Again?

00:58:26 #889 No, not again. I do not love you.

00:58:28 #890 That is better.

00:58:33 #891 I...

00:58:35 #892 I adore you. I know I grow absurd.

00:58:40 #893 And that distresses me as much as if you had grown ugly.

00:58:43 #894 Please, gather your dreams together into words.

00:58:49 #895 I...

00:58:52 #896 I know you love me. Good night.

00:58:54 #897 But wait, please. I was going to say...

00:58:56 #898 That you adore me. Yes, I know that too.

00:58:59 #899 No? Go away.

00:59:23 #900 Success

00:59:28 #901 I can't well at least you know enough to take a woman in your arm

00:59:32 #902 Please what and make your love a little comedy. Oh, sir. I know I cannot live unless I win her back now this moment

00:59:38 #903 This moment how the devil am I to teach you now this move?

00:59:41 #904 her window

00:59:43 #905 Help me sir. I know help me

00:59:45 #906 Does seem fairly dark well well this more than you deserve

00:59:54 #907 Well, it's private can be done stand over there

00:59:57 #908 Get here before the balcony. I'll whisper you what to say.

01:00:03 #909 She may hear. Shh! Call her.

01:00:06 #910 Roxanne. Roxanne.

01:00:15 #911 Who is calling?

01:00:17 #912 Christian.

01:00:18 #913 You again?

01:00:19 #914 I had to tell you.

01:00:21 #915 No, go away. You tell me nothing.

01:00:23 #916 Please!

01:00:24 #917 You do not love me anymore.

01:00:27 #918 No, not anymore.

01:00:29 #919 I love you ever more.

01:00:32 #920 And ever more and more.

01:00:35 #921 A little better?

01:00:38 #922 Love grows and struggles like an angry child.

01:00:42 #923 Breaking my heart.

01:00:44 #924 His cradle.

01:00:46 #925 Better still.

01:00:48 #926 But such a babe is dangerous.

01:00:51 #927 Why not have smothered it, newborn?

01:00:55 #928 And so I do.

01:00:57 #929 And yet he lives.

01:00:59 #930 I found as you shall find...

01:01:03 #931 There's newborn babe and infant Hercules.

01:01:07 #932 Good.

01:01:08 #933 Strong enough at birth to strangle those two serpents, doubt and pride.

01:01:15 #934 Why, very good.

01:01:18 #935 Only tell me why you speak so haltingly, as your imagination gone lame.

01:01:23 #936 Your words tonight hesitate. Why?

01:01:33 #937 Through the warm summer gloom, they grope in darkness toward the light of you.

01:01:39 #938 My words are heavy with honey, like returning bees.

01:01:44 #939 Yet they must fly so high.

01:01:46 #940 Come nearer, then. Stand you on the bench.

01:01:48 #941 No.

01:01:49 #942 Then I'll come down.

01:01:50 #943 No!

01:01:51 #944 And why so great a no?

01:01:54 #945 Let me enjoy the one moment I ever...

01:01:57 #946 my one chance to speak to you unseen.

01:02:01 #947 Unseen?

01:02:02 #948 Yes, yes.

01:02:04 #949 Night making all things dimly beautiful, one veil over us both.

01:02:08 #950 You need no eyes to hear my heart.

01:02:10 #951 Oh, tonight let it seem as if I speak for the first time.

01:02:14 #952 For the first time? Yes.

01:02:17 #953 Your voice, Edan, is not the same.

01:02:19 #954 How should it be? I have another voice tonight.

01:02:22 #955 My own. Myself. Daring.

01:02:25 #956 Why daring? Because...

01:02:27 #957 What am I? What is any man that he dares ask for you?

01:02:30 #958 Therefore my heart has hidden behind poetic words and tinseled phrases.

01:02:34 #959 But are they not sweet? Those prayers are not sweet.

01:02:37 #960 Sweet, those pretty phrases.

01:02:39 #961 Not enough sweet for you and me tonight.

01:02:42 #962 You never spoke to me like this.

01:02:44 #963 I tell you, there comes one moment once,

01:02:46 #964 and heaven help those who pass that moment by.

01:02:49 #965 When beauty stands looking into the soul with graves,

01:02:52 #966 sweet eyes, that's sicken at pretty words.

01:02:58 #967 Yes.

01:03:00 #968 That is love.

01:03:02 #969 I love beyond breath, beyond reason, beyond love's own power

01:03:06 #970 of loving.

01:03:07 #971 Your name is like a golden bell hung in my heart.

01:03:09 #972 And when I think of you, I tremble,

01:03:11 #973 and the bell swings and rings.

01:03:14 #974 Ruxan! Ruxan!

01:03:18 #975 Along my veins.

01:03:24 #976 Yes, that is love.

01:03:31 #977 That wind of terrible and jealous beauty.

01:03:34 #978 That dark fire.

01:03:37 #979 That soaring, blinding music.

01:03:40 #980 Yet you may take my happiness to make you happier,

01:03:43 #981 even though you never know I gave it to you.

01:03:45 #982 Only let me hear, sometimes, all alone,

01:03:48 #983 a distant laughter of your joy.

01:03:52 #984 Do you begin to understand a little?

01:03:54 #985 Can you feel my soul there in the darkness breathe on you?

01:03:58 #986 Oh, only tonight.

01:04:00 #987 Now I daresay these things.

01:04:02 #988 I to you, and you hear them.

01:04:05 #989 It is my voice, mine, my own that makes you tremble there

01:04:08 #990 in the green gloom above me, for you do tremble

01:04:10 #991 a blossom among the leaves. You tremble and I can feel all the way down along this

01:04:14 #992 Jasmine branch, whether you will or no, the passion of you trembling.

01:04:19 #993 Yes, I do tremble. And I weep, and I love you, and I am yours, and you have made me this.

01:04:35 #994 I myself only let me ask one thing more.

01:04:43 #995 One kiss? Who asked me for?

01:04:47 #996 I, yes. Let us say it. I mean...

01:04:50 #997 I know I ask too much.

01:04:54 #998 Only one. Is that all?

01:04:56 #999 All. How much more than all?

01:05:00 #1000 I know I startle you. I ask... I ask you to refuse.

01:05:05 #1001 Why? Why? Why?

01:05:07 #1002 Christian, be quiet.

01:05:08 #1003 What is that you say?

01:05:09 #1004 I am angry with myself because I know I go too far.

01:05:11 #1005 And so I say to myself,

01:05:13 #1006 Christian, be quiet.

01:05:15 #1007 I am looking for the house.

01:05:31 #1008 I am looking for the house of Madame Roxane Robins.

01:05:34 #1009 This is not the house. That way. To the right. Keep to the right.

01:05:38 #1010 I thank you, sir. I shall say my beads for you to the very last week.

01:05:43 #1011 Will be that kiss.

01:05:46 #1012 No. Sooner or later.

01:05:50 #1013 All right, it must be so, because she is young.

01:06:00 #1014 And do I, and since it must be,

01:06:05 #1015 I have rather be myself the cause of what must be.

01:06:10 #1016 Are you still there?

01:06:19 #1017 Yes.

01:06:21 #1018 We were speaking of...

01:06:23 #1019 A kiss.

01:06:27 #1020 And what is a kiss when all is done?

01:06:30 #1021 A vow taken before the shrine of memory,

01:06:32 #1022 a rosy dot over the eye of loving,

01:06:34 #1023 a secret whispered to listening lips apart.

01:06:38 #1024 Shhh.

01:06:39 #1025 A moment made immortal with a rush of wings unseen,

01:06:41 #1026 a sacrament of blossoms,

01:06:43 #1027 a new song sung by two hearts to an old, simple tune.

01:06:48 #1028 Hush.

01:06:49 #1029 Why, what shame?

01:06:53 #1030 No.

01:06:55 #1031 No shame.

01:06:56 #1032 Then come.

01:06:58 #1033 Gather your sacred blossom.

01:07:02 #1034 Your moment made him mortal.

01:07:04 #1035 Why?

01:07:06 #1036 Why, manimal?

01:07:33 #1037 I have won what I have won.

01:07:35 #1038 The feast of entwined hunter.

01:07:41 #1039 Yet I have something here that is mine now

01:07:46 #1040 and was not mine before.

01:07:49 #1041 I spoke the words that won her.

01:07:53 #1042 She kisses my words.

01:07:56 #1043 My words.

01:07:58 #1044 Here's lips.

01:08:04 #1045 What, Father, lost your way again?

01:08:10 #1046 She lives here, Madame Roban.

01:08:11 #1047 Why, don't you say the Rola?

01:08:13 #1048 No, R-O-B-I-N, Roban.

01:08:15 #1049 Oh, Roban, I see.

01:08:16 #1050 I'm too old to chase wild geese. My feet...

01:08:19 #1051 Oh, what a shame.

01:08:21 #1052 However, I'm sure there's someone at home.

01:08:25 #1053 What is it?

01:08:26 #1054 A letter for the young lady, Madame Rola.

01:08:29 #1055 Rola?

01:08:31 #1056 Robbelle?

01:08:36 #1057 Yes, yes, I heard.

01:08:38 #1058 Serenal.

01:08:39 #1059 Passing by, cousin, I saw this light.

01:08:42 #1060 Some matter profitable to the soul.

01:08:45 #1061 A very noble lord gave it to me.

01:08:48 #1062 What is it?

01:08:51 #1063 Father, this letter concerns you.

01:09:05 #1064 Madam, the cardinal will have his way, although against your will.

01:09:10 #1065 That is why I am sending this to you by a most holy man.

01:09:15 #1066 Intelligent, discreet.

01:09:18 #1067 You will communicate to him our order to perform here and at once the rite of holy matrimony.

01:09:25 #1068 And Christiane will be married privately in your house.

01:09:31 #1069 Be resigned to the cardinal's command, who sends here with his blessings.

01:09:36 #1070 You're very humble and etc.

01:09:39 #1071 Oh, this is terrible!

01:09:42 #1072 Oh, you're to be the... I am to be the bride.

01:09:49 #1073 Look here, Post Script.

01:09:52 #1074 Give to the monastery in my name, 120 pieces of gold.

01:09:57 #1075 120? Oh, a worthy lodge. A very worthy lodge.

01:10:04 #1076 Daughter, resign yourself.

01:10:06 #1077 I am your self.

01:10:07 #1078 I am resigned.

01:10:19 #1079 I'll bury him in town.

01:10:20 #1080 Until we are married, please.

01:10:22 #1081 Why, where did you come from?

01:10:43 #1082 The moon! You!

01:10:44 #1083 From the moon! I have just returned from the moon!

01:10:46 #1084 The fellow's mad!

01:10:47 #1085 Like a bomb I tell you, I fell from the moon!

01:10:49 #1086 Not even!

01:10:50 #1087 I say the moon!

01:10:51 #1088 Very well, if you say so.

01:10:52 #1089 Thank you!

01:10:53 #1090 Raving mad!

01:10:56 #1091 Where am I?

01:10:57 #1092 My dear sir!

01:10:58 #1093 What place is this?

01:10:59 #1094 What come? Please, let me pass!

01:11:00 #1095 His face!

01:11:01 #1096 Good heavens masked!

01:11:02 #1097 A robber!

01:11:03 #1098 Where am I?

01:11:04 #1099 The lady is waiting for me.

01:11:05 #1100 So this is Paris.

01:11:07 #1101 Ah, fool.

01:11:09 #1102 Dear old Paris, excuse my appearance.

01:11:11 #1103 I arrived by the last thunderbolt,

01:11:13 #1104 a trifle singed as I passed through the ether.

01:11:15 #1105 Monsieur.

01:11:16 #1106 Sir.

01:11:17 #1107 That will do now, I wish.

01:11:19 #1108 I know.

01:11:19 #1109 You wish to learn from my own lips

01:11:20 #1110 the nature of the room's inhabitants,

01:11:21 #1111 the character of its surface, if any.

01:11:23 #1112 I desire no such thing.

01:11:24 #1113 Of course not.

01:11:28 #1114 You wish to know by what mysterious means

01:11:30 #1115 I reached the moon.

01:11:31 #1116 Well, a very secret affair of state,

01:11:33 #1117 but, confidentially, a new invention of my own.

01:11:37 #1118 Drunk too, as well as men.

01:11:38 #1119 Oh, no, in truth.

01:11:39 #1120 I have my choice of several inventions.

01:11:42 #1121 Yes, several ways to violate the virgin sky.

01:11:46 #1122 Several?

01:11:49 #1123 As, for instance, smoke having a natural tendency to rise

01:11:53 #1124 blow in a globe enough to raise me.

01:11:57 #1125 Yes, that makes one.

01:11:58 #1126 Again, I might construct a rocket in the shape

01:12:00 #1127 of a huge locust driven by impulses of villainous saltpeter

01:12:05 #1128 from the rear and the speed upwards by leaps and bounds.

01:12:09 #1129 Yes, another.

01:12:10 #1130 Finally, seated on an iron plate, hurl a magnet into the air.

01:12:14 #1131 The iron falls.

01:12:16 #1132 I catch the magnet, throw it again,

01:12:18 #1133 and so proceed indefinitely.

01:12:20 #1134 Excellent.

01:12:21 #1135 And which did you adopt?

01:12:26 #1136 Why, none of them.

01:12:28 #1137 Yet another.

01:12:29 #1138 Which was?

01:13:00 #1139 Have you guessed it yet?

01:13:01 #1140 Why, no.

01:13:02 #1141 What is it?

01:13:09 #1142 Alas, you will never know. But no matter, you are free and they are bound in wedlock.

01:13:12 #1143 Am I drunk, that voice? And that nose? Cyrano!

01:13:16 #1144 Cyrano! This very moment they have exchanged vows.

01:13:18 #1145 Oh! My sincere compliments.

01:13:27 #1146 You also, my traveler in space.

01:13:30 #1147 My lord, the handsome couple you and God have joined together.

01:13:32 #1148 Quite so!

01:13:35 #1149 Madam, kindly bid your husband farewell.

01:13:39 #1150 Your regiment leaves tonight, sir. Report at once.

01:13:41 #1151 But the cadets are not called.

01:13:43 #1152 They are indeed, and under my command.

01:13:46 #1153 Out there we may have an accounting.

01:13:49 #1154 Somehow that news fails to disquiet me.

01:13:52 #1155 Here are the orders. Baron, deliver this.

01:13:55 #1156 Christian.

01:13:57 #1157 The bridal night is not so near.

01:14:04 #1158 Somehow that news fails to disquiet me.

01:14:08 #1159 All orders.

01:14:14 #1160 Good work, son.

01:14:33 #1161 Take care of him for me. Promise me never to let him do anything dangerous.

01:14:36 #1162 I'll do my best. I cannot promise.

01:14:37 #1163 Watch over him always. Make him be careful.

01:14:40 #1164 Yes, yes. I'll try.

01:14:41 #1165 Be sure to keep him warm and dry.

01:14:42 #1166 Yes, if possible.

01:14:44 #1167 Have him write to me every single day.

01:14:47 #1168 That I promise you.

01:14:49 #1169 The situation is simple, gentlemen.

01:16:43 #1170 We have besieged Arras.

01:16:45 #1171 The Prince of Spain has besieged us.

01:16:48 #1172 Consequently, we are surrounded.

01:16:51 #1173 A fine war where the besiegers are besieged and starved to death.

01:16:55 #1174 Yes, but the Marshal has devised a brilliant plan for bringing in food this very night.

01:16:58 #1175 Now, see here.

01:16:59 #1176 Spare us the details, Colonel. Really inform us when the food arrives.

01:17:03 #1177 True, we are hungry. But by blame me, I am only your Colonel.

01:17:09 #1178 Oh, yes, I know you disapprove of me. Call me courtier, politician.

01:17:14 #1179 Well, I can afford your little hates. My conduct under fire is well known.

01:17:20 #1180 It was only yesterday I repelled a Spanish attack, pouring my men down like an avalanche.

01:17:24 #1181 I myself led the charge.

01:17:26 #1182 And your white scarf?

01:17:28 #1183 Cyrano.

01:17:29 #1184 Who's he?

01:17:30 #1185 I repeat, Cyrano.

01:17:32 #1186 And your white scarf?

01:17:34 #1187 Eh, you heard that episode?

01:17:36 #1188 Yes. I was so far in advance I was in danger of being captured.

01:17:39 #1189 But I thought quickly, took off and flung away the scarf that marked my military rank.

01:17:43 #1190 And so being inconspicuous escaped among my own force.

01:17:46 #1191 Rallied them, returned, and won the day.

01:17:49 #1192 What are your say to that?

01:17:50 #1193 Still, an officer does not likely resign the privilege of being a target.

01:17:53 #1194 How pleasant for you that you are denied that privilege.

01:17:57 #1195 Pleasant? Lend me your scarf.

01:17:58 #1196 With your permission, I will lead the first charge tonight, wearing it over my shoulder.

01:18:02 #1197 What bluster! You're safe making that offer and you know it.

01:18:04 #1198 My scarf lies on the riverbank between the lines.

01:18:07 #1199 A spot swept by artillery, impossible to reach alive.

01:18:11 #1200 Yes. Yeah.

01:18:20 #1201 Thank you. This bit of white is what I need to make a signal.

01:18:27 #1202 I was hesitating.

01:18:29 #1203 You have decided me.

01:18:30 #1204 Hold your fire! There's a man down there running away.

01:18:40 #1205 Yes, a Spaniard.

01:18:43 #1206 But very useful as a spy to both sides.

01:18:47 #1207 As I was about to tell you, the Marshal is withdrawn more than half our forces here.

01:18:51 #1208 Fortunately, the Spaniards do not know that.

01:18:53 #1209 Oh, yes, they do now.

01:18:54 #1210 And they will attack tonight, at this point.

01:18:59 #1211 Don't revamp, eh?

01:19:00 #1212 I make no great pretence in loving you.

01:19:03 #1213 But since you gentlemen esteem yourselves invincible,

01:19:06 #1214 The bravest of the brave and all that.

01:19:08 #1215 Why need we be personal?

01:19:10 #1216 The Marshal needs a diversion.

01:19:11 #1217 And I serve him in choosing as I choose.

01:19:15 #1218 As you can see, Captain, the great thing is to gain time

01:19:17 #1219 to hold until the Marshal returns.

01:19:19 #1220 And to gain time?

01:19:21 #1221 You will all be so kind as to lay down your lives.

01:19:35 #1222 Mr. John.

01:19:36 #1223 Yes.

01:19:41 #1224 For a sudden?

01:19:43 #1225 I should like to say farewell to her

01:19:45 #1226 with my whole heart for her to keep.

01:19:47 #1227 I have taken the liberty of...

01:20:00 #1228 but wait.

01:20:03 #1229 This little spot. Spot?

01:20:05 #1230 Yes, sir.

01:20:06 #1231 A tear.

01:20:09 #1232 There's nothing.

01:20:10 #1233 A poet while he writes is like a lover in his lady's arms.

01:20:12 #1234 Believing his imagination, everything seems real.

01:20:15 #1235 There's half the charm of writing.

01:20:17 #1236 Now, I made this letter so pathetic that...

01:20:20 #1237 while I was writing it... I wept.

01:20:23 #1238 Wept?

01:20:24 #1239 Oh yes.

01:20:26 #1240 Because it is a little thing to die.

01:20:28 #1241 But not to see her.

01:20:31 #1242 That is terrible.

01:20:33 #1243 And I shall never...

01:20:36 #1244 You will never...

01:20:38 #1245 Give me that.

01:21:06 #1246 Good evening.

01:21:07 #1247 On the King's service, you...

01:21:09 #1248 You were hungry, so we came prepared.

01:21:26 #1249 The Spaniards adored the fair.

01:21:28 #1250 But they missed the fowl.

01:21:39 #1251 But why did you come here into this...

01:21:41 #1252 this danger?

01:21:43 #1253 They said in Paris there was no fighting.

01:21:45 #1254 Besides, it was your own fault.

01:21:49 #1255 Think of the letters you have written me.

01:21:59 #1256 How many times, every day.

01:22:01 #1257 Every day.

01:22:03 #1258 And each one more wonderful than the last.

01:22:07 #1259 All this for a few absurd love letters?

01:22:09 #1260 Hush, absurd? Your letters?

01:22:12 #1261 No, never.

01:22:14 #1262 Everyone was like hearing your voice that night in the dark.

01:22:17 #1263 Remember? Like your arms around me.

01:22:20 #1264 I read them over and over.

01:22:22 #1265 Every page was like a petal fallen from your soul.

01:22:26 #1266 Like the light and the fire of a great love.

01:22:29 #1267 Sweet and strong and true.

01:22:34 #1268 I came here to ask forgiveness.

01:22:42 #1269 It is time to be forgiven.

01:22:45 #1270 Now, when we may die so soon,

01:22:47 #1271 forgive me for being light and vain

01:22:51 #1272 and loving you only because you were handsome.

01:22:53 #1273 For now, I love you for yourself.

01:22:58 #1274 for what you are.

01:23:00 #1275 Roxanne.

01:23:02 #1276 How you must have suffered for you saw how frivolous I was

01:23:05 #1277 and to be loved for the mere costume,

01:23:07 #1278 for the poor casual body you went about in.

01:23:10 #1279 To a soul like yours, that must have been torture.

01:23:13 #1280 No.

01:23:14 #1281 Understand.

01:23:19 #1282 You cannot perfectly believe in me.

01:23:21 #1283 A love like this.

01:23:23 #1284 I want no love like this.

01:23:25 #1285 I want love only for...

01:23:26 #1286 Only for what every woman sees in you.

01:23:29 #1287 I can do better than that.

01:23:30 #1288 No, it was best before.

01:23:33 #1289 You do not altogether know me.

01:23:36 #1290 I was a child. I am a woman now.

01:23:39 #1291 If you were less handsome.

01:23:41 #1292 No.

01:23:42 #1293 Unattractive, ugly even. I should love you still.

01:23:46 #1294 You mean that?

01:23:48 #1295 I do mean that.

01:23:49 #1296 Ugly?

01:23:50 #1297 Even then.

01:23:52 #1298 Now are you happy? What is it?

01:24:01 #1299 Nothing, only serenal.

01:24:04 #1300 Oh, Serino.

01:24:06 #1301 He has something to tell you.

01:24:10 #1302 Where are you going?

01:24:13 #1303 I will return in a moment.

01:24:16 #1304 Your wife, sir? She goes with me?

01:24:28 #1305 No, sir. She remains.

01:24:29 #1306 There is still time for her to escape.

01:24:30 #1307 She stays.

01:24:31 #1308 Very well.

01:24:32 #1309 Someone give me a musket. I stay here also.

01:24:35 #1310 Sir, you shall courage.

01:24:36 #1311 What? Shall I run away and leave a woman?

01:24:39 #1312 Colonel, my compliment, sir.

01:24:42 #1313 What is wrong?

01:24:43 #1314 Wait.

01:24:45 #1315 What is it?

01:24:46 #1316 She looks her.

01:24:47 #1317 She does not love me.

01:24:50 #1318 Do you think not?

01:24:51 #1319 She loves you.

01:24:52 #1320 No.

01:24:53 #1321 She loves only my soul.

01:24:55 #1322 No.

01:24:56 #1323 Yes.

01:24:57 #1324 That means you.

01:24:58 #1325 And you love her.

01:24:59 #1326 I see.

01:25:00 #1327 I know.

01:25:01 #1328 You wrote her every day.

01:25:03 #1329 Every day.

01:25:04 #1330 Every day simple.

01:25:05 #1331 Simple for a month.

01:25:06 #1332 We've been blockaded here.

01:25:07 #1333 How did you send all those letters?

01:25:09 #1334 Before daylight I managed to face death every day.

01:25:12 #1335 You love her.

01:25:13 #1336 Tell her so.

01:25:23 #1337 No.

01:25:24 #1338 Why not?

01:25:25 #1339 Why?

01:25:29 #1340 She would love me if I were ugly. She said that? Yes.

01:25:33 #1341 Now go to her. Nonsense.

01:25:36 #1342 Do not believe any such madness.

01:25:38 #1343 Go back to her.

01:25:39 #1344 You never will be ugly. Go.

01:25:41 #1345 It is you she loves.

01:25:42 #1346 That is what we shall see.

01:25:43 #1347 Oh, no.

01:25:44 #1348 Let her choose between us.

01:25:45 #1349 Don't tell her everything.

01:25:46 #1350 Why do you torture me?

01:25:47 #1351 Shall I ruin your happiness?

01:25:48 #1352 Because I was born with a pretty face.

01:25:51 #1353 Am I to ruin yours?

01:25:51 #1354 Because I happen to have power to say what you perhaps feel?

01:25:54 #1355 Tell her.

01:25:56 #1356 She won't try me too far.

01:25:56 #1357 I'm tired of being my own rival.

01:25:59 #1358 Our secret marriage, it can be a nullable.

01:26:01 #1359 I expect you.

01:26:02 #1360 I want her love for the poor fool that I am, or not at all.

01:26:05 #1361 Oh, I'm going through with this.

01:26:06 #1362 I'll know one way or the other.

01:26:09 #1363 Now go tell her that her choose one of us.

01:26:16 #1364 I hope so.

01:26:29 #1365 Captain, Franny's fires are going out.

01:26:37 #1366 The ends.

01:26:38 #1367 I need a scout.

01:26:39 #1368 Where's Serana?

01:26:40 #1369 Captain, let me go.

01:26:43 #1370 Now, my boy, Serana knows the terrain.

01:26:44 #1371 He knows their lines.

01:26:45 #1372 So do I.

01:26:46 #1373 Please, allow me.

01:26:50 #1374 Very well.

01:26:51 #1375 We must know from which direction the advance comes, their weight and numbers.

01:26:54 #1376 I understand.

01:26:55 #1377 Rick Zardon.

01:27:08 #1378 Sir, I know.

01:27:10 #1379 Chris Charles thinks...

01:27:11 #1380 Chris Charles thinks you ought to know that...

01:27:15 #1381 But I do know.

01:27:17 #1382 He still doubts what I told him just now.

01:27:19 #1383 I saw that.

01:27:20 #1384 Yes, but...

01:27:21 #1385 Was it true what you told him just now?

01:27:24 #1386 It was true.

01:27:25 #1387 I said that I should love him even if you were...

01:27:29 #1388 The word comes hard before me.

01:27:30 #1389 Say it, I shall not be hurt.

01:27:35 #1390 Ugly?

01:27:36 #1391 Even then, I should love him.

01:27:38 #1392 or disfigured or disfigured even grotesque how could he ever be grotesque ever to me

01:27:48 #1393 but you could love him so as much as yes and more son what is it are they fighting

01:27:58 #1394 what is happening the spanish advance there is time what is Christian at the

01:28:07 #1395 Parabet.

01:28:09 #1396 Oh, of course.

01:28:11 #1397 What is it that you wish to tell me?

01:28:13 #1398 Your son, believe me, this is difficult.

01:28:16 #1399 And for once, I lack words.

01:28:20 #1400 Please, John asked me to.

01:28:22 #1401 He told me.

01:28:38 #1402 Are you in place, gentlemen?

01:28:40 #1403 Is he dead?

01:28:41 #1404 No, but dying.

01:28:42 #1405 I will not let him.

01:28:48 #1406 Serino, did you?

01:28:50 #1407 Yes, my friend.

01:28:51 #1408 I have told her.

01:28:54 #1409 She loves you.

01:28:57 #1410 Roxane?

01:28:58 #1411 Yes, my darling.

01:29:04 #1412 He is not dead.

01:29:07 #1413 Yes. Come, you must go now.

01:29:19 #1414 Wait a little.

01:29:21 #1415 He is dead.

01:29:22 #1416 No one else knew him but you.

01:29:24 #1417 Was he not a hero?

01:29:26 #1418 Yes, Roxane.

01:29:27 #1419 A heart deeper than we knew.

01:29:30 #1420 Yes, Roxane.

01:29:31 #1421 A poet.

01:29:33 #1422 A so magnificently tender.

01:29:41 #1423 But he is dead now.

01:29:42 #1424 My son, am I.

01:29:49 #1425 For I am dead in my loved ones for me and does not know.

01:29:54 #1426 We'll never know.

01:29:55 #1427 Take her away quickly.

01:30:02 #1428 Wait.

01:30:03 #1429 Let her over his arm.

01:30:05 #1430 I have two deaths to avenge now.

01:30:15 #1431 Christians.

01:30:16 #1432 To madness your de Bergerac, you have lived while we, we waste our youth.

01:33:22 #1433 There is no war and no hope for any.

01:33:25 #1434 My son, I have just realized that we are both fools.

01:33:30 #1435 But mine is the greater folly for I am an older fool.

01:33:34 #1436 What is more, everything I told you was a lie.

01:33:38 #1437 I was satire for the gazette.

01:33:46 #1438 Yes.

01:33:47 #1439 Another glove flung in the face of power.

01:33:50 #1440 Well, why do you do it, Cyrano? Why do you attack?

01:33:53 #1441 Stupidity, deceit, corruption.

01:33:56 #1442 I'm too old to change.

01:33:57 #1443 I am an old dog with nothing left but his teeth.

01:33:59 #1444 Ah, but teeth can be pulled. That can be painful.

01:34:06 #1445 That insolent wretch, that scoundrel, the Dershawang.

01:34:11 #1446 This time he's gone too far.

01:34:12 #1447 I swear it, he signed his death warrant.

01:34:16 #1448 And who will deliver it?

01:34:18 #1449 His sword is still very powerful, my friend.

01:34:21 #1450 There are many ways a man can die.

01:34:24 #1451 Who knows?

01:34:26 #1452 He may meet with an accident soon.

01:34:41 #1453 Madame, how long will you continue

01:34:44 #1454 to remain here forever in mourning?

01:34:48 #1455 Was Christian all that?

01:34:51 #1456 If you knew him, you would not ask.

01:34:53 #1457 His last letter still at my heart keeps me warm.

01:34:56 #1458 And, uh, Cyrano, do you see him often?

01:35:00 #1459 Every week.

01:35:02 #1460 My old friend takes the place of my gazette.

01:35:05 #1461 Brings me all the news.

01:35:07 #1462 Every Saturday under that tree out there,

01:35:10 #1463 I wait for him embroidering.

01:35:12 #1464 The hour strikes. I need not turn to look.

01:35:16 #1465 Look, at the last stroke I hear is Kane tackling the walk.

01:35:20 #1466 His satires have made him many enemies.

01:35:23 #1467 But they still fear that sword of his.

01:35:27 #1468 No one dare touch him.

01:35:29 #1469 That may be so.

01:35:32 #1470 It is not violence I fear for him, but solitude, poverty.

01:35:37 #1471 Old gray December stealing on Wolf's feet

01:35:40 #1472 into his darkening room.

01:35:42 #1473 It seems to me he has worn the same old coat

01:35:44 #1474 for many months now.

01:35:46 #1475 That is nothing strange in this world.

01:35:48 #1476 You need not pity him over much.

01:35:50 #1477 He lives his life, his own life, his own way.

01:35:53 #1478 Thought, word, and deed, free.

01:35:56 #1479 My lord, Duke.

01:35:58 #1480 Oh, yes, I know.

01:35:59 #1481 I have all he has, nothing.

01:36:02 #1482 Nevertheless, today I should be proud to shake his hand.

01:36:09 #1483 Ah, well, Ed, will I ever see you again?

01:36:12 #1484 Come whenever you like.

01:36:14 #1485 Then you have forgiven me.

01:36:16 #1486 I am here.

01:36:19 #1487 Do you know, when a man wins everything in this world,

01:36:23 #1488 when he succeeds too much, he feels somehow

01:36:28 #1489 a thousand small displeasures with himself,

01:36:31 #1490 whose wholesome is not quite remorse,

01:36:35 #1491 but rather a sort of vague disgust,

01:36:39 #1492 dry illusions, vain regrets.

01:36:42 #1493 He has now and then I envy your Cyrano.

01:36:45 #1494 The sentiment does you honor.

01:36:55 #1495 Madame, I must tell you,

01:36:59 #1496 it is true that no one has yet dared to attack your friend, Cyrano.

01:37:03 #1497 Nevertheless, at the theater last night I heard some things.

01:37:08 #1498 Keep him at home all you can.

01:37:10 #1499 Tomorrow when you see him, tell him to be careful.

01:37:14 #1500 I thank you.

01:37:28 #1501 Good night, Raggedon.

01:37:30 #1502 Cyrano, you're not leaving.

01:37:31 #1503 You will not have dinner here with me.

01:37:33 #1504 My regrets.

01:37:34 #1505 I have a magnificent roast waiting for me, a rare wine.

01:37:37 #1506 A gift from my publisher.

01:37:39 #1507 To be sure.

01:37:41 #1508 Have you seen Molière's new place? No.

01:37:44 #1509 Oh, well.

01:37:46 #1510 What is it?

01:37:47 #1511 Well, he is big.

01:37:49 #1512 He stole a scene from you.

01:37:50 #1513 Word for word.

01:37:51 #1514 You know, what the devil was he doing there? That one?

01:37:54 #1515 He stole it bodily.

01:37:56 #1516 Well, he showed good taste.

01:37:58 #1517 It played well.

01:37:59 #1518 Oh, beautifully.

01:38:00 #1519 They laughed and laughed.

01:38:02 #1520 Half and laughed.

01:38:03 #1521 Mollier has genius.

01:38:05 #1522 Tristia had good looks.

01:38:07 #1523 With me it was always thus.

01:38:09 #1524 Good night, my friend.

01:38:29 #1525 Hold there! You!

01:38:33 #1526 Are you addressing me?

01:38:34 #1527 Yes, you, Monsieur of the long nose.

01:38:36 #1528 Insolence.

01:38:37 #1529 Follow, Mouth Scribbler.

01:38:39 #1530 Liar! Plagiarism!

01:39:27 #1531 Why pretend?

01:39:29 #1532 It is very grave.

01:39:31 #1533 Keep him quiet at all costs.

01:39:33 #1534 If he attempts to rise, he will die.

01:39:36 #1535 Monsieur.

01:39:59 #1536 Sister, what's the matter with you?

01:40:09 #1537 Shall I tell you something, sister?

01:40:13 #1538 Yesterday, Friday, mind you, I ate meat again.

01:40:18 #1539 Yes, I know. That is why you are so pale.

01:40:22 #1540 Please come to the refactory before you go.

01:40:25 #1541 I'll make you a great bowl of hot soup.

01:40:27 #1542 Of course, of course.

01:40:29 #1543 You are quite reasonable today.

01:40:31 #1544 Perhaps you convert me.

01:40:33 #1545 No, not for the world.

01:40:35 #1546 Why, now I think of it that is so.

01:40:38 #1547 You bursting with holiness, and yet you never preach.

01:40:42 #1548 Astonishing.

01:40:44 #1549 And now I shall astonish you.

01:40:46 #1550 I'm going to let you pray for me tonight at Vespers.

01:40:52 #1551 Absolutely struck down me.

01:40:55 #1552 I did not wait for you to say I might.

01:41:02 #1553 Now may the devil admire me if I ever hope to see the end of that embroidery.

01:41:16 #1554 After 14 years, late for the first time.

01:41:20 #1555 Yes. Yes, madame.

01:41:22 #1556 I was detained by a visitor, most unexpected.

01:41:27 #1557 An old friend of mine.

01:41:30 #1558 At least a very old acquaintance.

01:41:33 #1559 Did you tell him to go away?

01:41:35 #1560 For the time being, yes.

01:41:37 #1561 I said, excuse me.

01:41:39 #1562 This is Saturday.

01:41:41 #1563 I have a previous engagement.

01:41:44 #1564 One I cannot miss. Even for you.

01:41:48 #1565 Your friend will have to wait. I shall not let you go till dark.

01:41:55 #1566 Perhaps a little before dark. I must go.

01:42:02 #1567 Then tell me now the court news. My gazette.

01:42:06 #1568 Let me see. Saturday the 19th.

01:42:15 #1569 The king fell ill after eight helpings of grape marmalade.

01:42:19 #1570 Grape marmalade will no longer be served at court. Sunday.

01:42:25 #1571 Sunday, royal pulse is now normal.

01:42:31 #1572 Monday, everyone was talking about the success of Moliere's new play.

01:42:37 #1573 Tuesday, the king fell ill after six helpings of Maronglassay.

01:42:43 #1574 Maronglassay will no longer be served at court.

01:42:49 #1575 Wednesday, the court to Fiesc spoke to Madame de Mongla.

01:42:53 #1576 She said, no.

01:42:56 #1577 Thursday, Friday, Madame de Mongla said yes.

01:43:09 #1578 Saturday.

01:43:18 #1579 What is it?

01:43:19 #1580 Cyrano!

01:43:27 #1581 But...

01:43:28 #1582 My old wounded Aris, sometimes.

01:43:31 #1583 My poor friend.

01:43:32 #1584 No, no, no, no, no, it is nothing.

01:43:34 #1585 It will soon be gone.

01:43:36 #1586 We all have our old wounds.

01:43:46 #1587 I have mine here.

01:43:48 #1588 Under this faded scrap of writing.

01:43:50 #1589 It is hard to read now.

01:43:55 #1590 Oh, but the blood and the tears.

01:43:58 #1591 His letter?

01:44:00 #1592 Did you not promise me that Sunday you would let me read it?

01:44:04 #1593 This letter? You wished to read it?

01:44:06 #1594 I do wish it.

01:44:08 #1595 Today. Because today I die.

01:44:52 #1596 All out.

01:44:53 #1597 I know that it will be today my own dearly beloved,

01:44:57 #1598 but my heart still so heavy with love I have not told.

01:45:03 #1599 And I shall die without telling you.

01:45:09 #1600 No more shall my eyes drink the sight of you like wine.

01:45:13 #1601 Nevermore with a look that is a kiss,

01:45:17 #1602 follow the sweet grace of you.

01:45:19 #1603 How you read it, his letter.

01:45:21 #1604 I remember now the way you have of pushing back a lock of hair

01:45:25 #1605 with one hand from your forehead.

01:45:28 #1606 And my heart cries out.

01:45:29 #1607 His letter.

01:45:30 #1608 Cries out and keeps crying.

01:45:32 #1609 And you read it so.

01:45:33 #1610 Farewell, my dear, my dearest. In a voice.

01:45:36 #1611 My own heart's own. My own treasure.

01:45:38 #1612 In such a voice.

01:45:39 #1613 My love.

01:45:41 #1614 As I remember hearing long ago.

01:45:44 #1615 I am never away from you.

01:45:47 #1616 Even now I shall not leave you.

01:45:50 #1617 In another world I shall still be that one who loves you,

01:45:53 #1618 loves you beyond measure, beyond...

01:46:06 #1619 But how can you read it now?

01:46:11 #1620 And all those 14 years he has been the old friend

01:46:15 #1621 who came to me to be a musin'.

01:46:18 #1622 Roxanne.

01:46:19 #1623 It was you?

01:46:21 #1624 No, no, Roxanne, no.

01:46:22 #1625 And I might have known it every time that I heard you speak my name.

01:46:25 #1626 No, it was not I. It was you. I swear.

01:46:29 #1627 The letters, that was you. No.

01:46:32 #1628 And the dear foolish words, that was you.

01:46:36 #1629 And the voice in the dark, that was you.

01:46:39 #1630 And my honor. And the soul.

01:46:42 #1631 That was all of you.

01:46:44 #1632 I never loved you.

01:46:46 #1633 Yes, you loved me.

01:46:48 #1634 Even now you love me.

01:46:50 #1635 Twice so great.

01:46:54 #1636 Oh, don't know my own dear love. I love you.

01:46:57 #1637 Why were you silent for so many years?

01:47:03 #1638 All along.

01:47:05 #1639 Every night and every day he gave me nothing.

01:47:08 #1640 You knew that.

01:47:10 #1641 You knew in that letter lying on my breast.

01:47:14 #1642 Your tears. You knew they were your tears.

01:47:19 #1643 Blood was his.

01:47:24 #1644 He's here.

01:47:31 #1645 What recklessness.

01:47:33 #1646 I knew it.

01:47:34 #1647 Oh, Madame, he has killed himself coming here.

01:47:38 #1648 That paint is what is it?

01:47:39 #1649 Nothing.

01:47:41 #1650 I did not finish my gazette.

01:47:44 #1651 Saturday the 26th, an hour or so before dinner,

01:47:48 #1652 Monsieur de Becherac died, foully murdered.

01:47:53 #1653 Sarah, no, what have they done to you?

01:47:55 #1654 Our fate loves a jest.

01:47:57 #1655 Behold me ambushed, taken unawares.

01:48:00 #1656 My noble foe, a lackey, my battlefield, a gutter.

01:48:07 #1657 It seems too logical.

01:48:08 #1658 I have missed everything, even my death.

01:48:13 #1659 Sisters, sisters!

01:48:15 #1660 No, no, do not go away.

01:48:17 #1661 I may not be here when you return.

01:48:19 #1662 You shall not die.

01:48:24 #1663 In the story, when beauty said I love you to the beast,

01:48:27 #1664 all his ugliness changed and dissolved like magic.

01:48:30 #1665 But you see, I am still the same.

01:48:34 #1666 And I have done this to you.

01:48:36 #1667 You? Why, no?

01:48:38 #1668 Oh, my fault, my...

01:48:40 #1669 On the contrary, I had never known womanhood and its sweetness, but for you.

01:48:45 #1670 My mother did not like to look at me.

01:48:49 #1671 I never had a sister.

01:48:52 #1672 Later, I feared the sweetheart with mockery behind her smile.

01:48:59 #1673 But because of you, I have had across my life one whispering silken gown.

01:49:09 #1674 I never loved but one man in my life. I have lost him twice.

01:49:16 #1675 I would not have you mourning either less, that good noble Christian.

01:49:26 #1676 But perhaps I ask only this.

01:49:30 #1677 And the great cold gathers around my bones.

01:49:34 #1678 That you may give...

01:49:36 #1679 a double meaning to your widow's weeds.

01:49:39 #1680 But here, as you let fall for him, may, for a little...

01:49:45 #1681 be my tears.

01:49:47 #1682 Oh, my love.

01:49:49 #1683 Oh, not here, not lying down.

01:49:55 #1684 Let no one help me.

01:49:57 #1685 No, no.

01:50:07 #1686 Shot with marble.

01:50:09 #1687 Gloved with lead.

01:50:11 #1688 Very well, let the old fellow come now.

01:50:14 #1689 He shall find me on my feet.

01:50:17 #1690 Sword in hand.

01:50:20 #1691 Serenade!

01:50:21 #1692 He's delirious.

01:50:23 #1693 I can see him now. He grins.

01:50:26 #1694 He is looking at my nose. That's skeleton.

01:50:29 #1695 You there.

01:50:31 #1696 Who are you?

01:50:32 #1697 A hundred against one, eh?

01:50:34 #1698 I know them now. My ancient enemies.

01:50:36 #1699 Sponsor there!

01:50:38 #1700 They're reckless.

01:50:39 #1701 Compromise cowardice.

01:50:41 #1702 Is that surrender? No, never, never.

01:50:45 #1703 I knew you would overthrow me in the end.

01:50:51 #1704 No, I fight well, and I fight on, I fight on.

01:50:54 #1705 All my laurels you have driven away, and my roses.

01:51:08 #1706 In spite of you there is one crown I bear away with me.

01:51:14 #1707 And tonight when I enter before God,

01:51:18 #1708 my salute shall sweep away the stars from the blue threshold.

01:51:24 #1709 One thing without staying, unspotted from the world.

01:51:30 #1710 In spite of doom, my known wife.
