This is the best adaptation of the book, I believe, although the version with Depardieu is very good. Has anyone the entire film?

Fantastic scene.

[johnnyhopper05]

With grace I've tossed my plumed chapue,

with languid grace my mantle shed.

I draw my well trained rapier so,

and circle you with cat-like tred.

Was Celadon the better-bred?

Could Scaramouche such style essay?

The envoy'l end,

and then,

Touche.

[Wisemattress]

Awesome voice.

Cyrano's response to mockery is classic use of wit to turn the insult against the person. You can see it at the sequence starting at 0:30, and again, even stronger, at 2:15. The greatest revenge you can give a person who takes themselves too seriously is to make people laugh at them. It reminds me of the blind man in the gospels who replies to the Pharisees' endless question with, "Why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?" (John 9:27)
