Valvert : [to Cyrano with a laugh] Excuse me, dog-face, but your nose is rather large.
Wishbone : [as Cyrano, mocking him] My nose is rather large? "Rather large," you say? Is that the best you can do? Ha ha ha ha! I do not need my sword to teach you a lesson; I have words! Let me teach you how to insult my nose, monsieur. You could have said, "Your nose is so big, you should call a doctor and have it amputated!" Or, how 'bout this: "What do ya carry around in that snout, your pens or your whole writing desk?" Ooh, how 'bout this one: "Do you love the birds so much that you let them perch on your nose?" But NO! The best *you* can come up with is, "Your nose is rather large." Well, any fool can see that my nose is rather large, but your brain is rather small!
