CYRANO DE BERGERAC
The Bore.
But… Show your heels, now! But I…
Cyrano.
But… Show your heels, now! But I… Show your heels!
Or tell me why you stare so at my nose!
The Bore
[staggered].
I…
Cyrano
[walking straight up to him].
I… Well, what is there strange?
The Bore
[draining back].
I… Well, what is there strange? Your Grace mistakes!
Cyrano.
How now? Is't soft and dangling, like a trunk?…
The Bore
[same play].
I never…
Cyrano.
I never… Is it crook'd, like an owl's beak?
The Bore.
I…
Cyrano.
I… Do you see a wart upon the tip?
The Bore.
Nay…
Cyrano.
Nay… Or a fly, that takes the air there? What
Is there to stare at?
