Quotes:

Pre-credit card: After creating the universe, the gods wondered where to hide the truth. On the highest peak? At the bottom of the sea? On the dark side of the Moon? Finally, they decided: let's hide it in the heart of man. He will look everywhere, never suspecting it to be deep within him.

M. Lenoir à 80 ans: I don't believe this! Who moved my dentures again?

Moenner, the psychotherapist: Must one be sick to be healed?

Moenner, the psychotherapist: Sure, anyone who sees a shrink really needs help.

Eglantine Laville: I want to make love, not get laid.

Moenner, the psychotherapist: [ironic] If only others were robots we could change by remote control.

Moenner, the psychotherapist: A stroller sees a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. He can't resist the pleasure of helping it out. He opens the cocoon gently and the butterfly appears. Great, no? Except that... Robbed of an effort which braces its wings, it can't fly and gets eaten.

Moenner, the psychotherapist: Say you fall into a manure pit, what do you do? [we see Eglantine hurry out of the pit] Exactly. You climb out of the shit. Take a long shower. Figure out how you fell in. And only then read up on shit.

Moenner, the psychotherapist: I see many clients whose problems go back but they keep landing in manure pits. Some even dig them, fill them, jump in and say they were pushed.

Eglantine Laville: [speaking of sexual intercourse] But what was it like, as a sensation?::Françoise: What's it like? [she thinks it over] It takes up room!

He resorts to writing letters to her on behalf of one of his cadets, Christian, who is also in love with Roxane but just doesn't know how to tell her. She falls for the poetic charm of the letters but believes that they were written by Christian.

Cyrano: And tonight when I, at last, God behold, my salute will sweep his blue threshhold with something spotless. A diamond in the ash which I take in spite of you; and that is my panache.

When they fail to halt Beaufort's escape from prison, the musketeers are expendable, and Mazarin sends them to London to rescue Charles I. They are also pursued by Justine, the avenging daughter of Milady de Winter, their enemy 20 years ago. They must escape England, avoid Justine, serve the Queen, and secure Beauford's political reforms.

[first lines]::Montfleury: Thrice happy he who hides from pomp and power/ In sylvan shade or or solitary bower/ Where balmy zephyrs fan his burning cheeks...::Cyrano de Bergerac: Clown! King of Clowns! Leave the stage at once!

Montfleury: Sir, I will not allow you to insult me in this manner.::Cyrano de Bergerac: Really? In what manner would you prefer?

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.

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!

And tonight, when I enter before God, my salute shall sweep away all the stars from the blue threshold! One thing without stain, unspotted from the world in spite of doom mine own::[he raises his hand high]::Cyrano de Bergerac: and that is... my white plume.

Cyrano de Bergerac: You may go. / Or tell me, why are you staring at my nose?::The Meddler: No!::Cyrano de Bergerac: It disgusts you, then? Does its color appear to you unwholesome? / Or its form obscene?::The Meddler: But I've been careful not to look!::Cyrano de Bergerac: And why not if you please? / Possibly you find it just a trifle large!

Cyrano de Bergerac: [dueling with Valvert] Prince, pray God that is Lord of all, Pardon your soul, for your time has come, Beat, pass! I fling you aslant, asprawl, Then as I end the refrain, thrust home!

Christian de Neuvillette: [Cyrano is coaching Christian, and Christian is reciting badly what Cyrano has written] "Thus do I love thee."::Cyrano de Bergerac: Idiot! There are a dozen ways to read that line - "*Thus* do I love thee"; "Thus do *I* love thee", "Thus do I love *thee*! *thee*! *thee*!"

Duenna: [Cyrano is trying to talk to Roxanne in private, when her Duenna enters] I have eaten the cakes, Monsieur de Bergerac.::Cyrano de Bergerac: [pushing her out the door] Good. Now go out and enjoy Nature.

Plot: Cyrano, a Cadet from Gascony and a gifted poet, is unfortunately afflicted with a long ugly nose, which makes him everybody's laughing stock. His unprepossessing appearance does not prevent from having a heart though and he is madly in love with his beautiful cousin Roxane. But how could she love a man like him? Indeed, the one she is attracted to is a handsome young officer, Christian de Neuvillette. Ironically, being good-looking does not make Christian a man of letters, that's why he asks Cyrano to write love notes to Roxane for him. For want of anything better, Cyrano accepts. But the game is cruel since while the ugly one pours his heart and soul into the verses he writes,it is the nice-looking one that reaps all the benefits. The more hopelessly Cyrano loves his cousin, the more desperately Roxane loves Christian. And when Christian is killed during the siege of Arras, she is disconsolate. She will learn about who actually wrote the love letters she cherished only fourteen years later, as Cyrano tells her the whole truth just before dying.
