Le Bret: Si tu laissais un peu ton ame mousquetaire, la fortune et la gloire... Cyrano: Et que faudrait-il faire? Chercher un protecteur puissant, prendre un patron, et, comme un lierre obscur que circonvient un tronc et s'en fait un tuteur en lui lechant l'ecorce, grimper par ruse au lieu de s'elever par force? Non, merci! Non, merci! Non, merci! Mais... chanter, rever, rire, passer, etre seul, etre libre... oui.
