What Is It Like Now?

Cyrano, Christian and the players are at football practice. Roxanne has ditched cheerleading practice and has gone to the bench to see the love her life, Christian. “He” was sending her love messages, which made her want to go to on the bench to talk to him and just to see him, hug him, kiss him, and hold him.           

Act 4 Scene 9
Christian telling Cyrano the truth. Roxanne off stage talking to her friends and some football players.

Christian (calling Cyrano): Cyrano!
Cyrano (ready for football practice): What? What’s up?
Christian: Dude, Roxanne doesn’t love me!
Cyrano: What? What are you talking about man? Of course she loves you.
Christian: NO MAN! She loves you!
Cyrano: What! No man! No!
Christian: Yeah she does! “She only loves me for my soul!
Cyrano: What!? Are you serious?
Christian: DUH! She said she only loves me for my soul, man. But that soul isn’t mine! It’s yours dude! Which means she’s got a thing for you, man, not me!
Cyrano: Me..?


Christian: Yes! You, man! It’s obvious!
Cyrano: Oh my gosh! You’re right!
Christian: And come on man… I know you love her too…
Cyrano: .. I know man… I love her more
Christian: So go and tell her!
Cyrano: NO!
Christian: Come on dude. It’s okay. Why won’t you?
Cyrano: Cause look at me bro. I’m not as cool as you. You’re the football player, and she’s a cheerleader, and I’m just an average dude.
Christian: No man! She said that even if I weren’t popular she would still go out with me!
Cyrano: Really? She said that?
Christian: Yes! Those were her exact words!
Cyrano: I can’t believe she told you that! Nah man I don’t believe it. I’m glad she told you that.
Christian: You know what? I’m going to break up with her!
Cyrano: NO man! You can’t!
Christian: Fine! She can choose if she would want to go with you or stay with me. But we will tell her the truth!
Cyrano: NO! I’m not going to do it! Please man, you owe me, remember!
Christian: Dude it’s cool. I’m on the football team; I can get any girl I want.
Cyrano: No man ‘cause you actually like this girl!
Christian: I’m going to tell her the truth, because she deserves to know it
Cyrano: I know she does but….
Christian: That’s it.. I’m going to break up with her
Cyrano: Christian! Oh my gosh! Dude!
Christian: I want someone to love me for me.. not just because I’m on the football team, or else there’s no point! Go talk to her, tell her the truth, and then she can decide who she wants to be with
Cyrano: It’s going to be you
Christian: You know what!? (he’s calling) Roxanne!
Cyrano: What! No! Dude!
Roxanne (running toward them): Ya babe?
Christian: Cyrano needs to tell you something (Christian leaves and goes back to practice).

However, since Christian isn’t the one who is sending her text messages, its Cyrano, but Roxanne has no knowledge of that, she says that she would love him no matter what. She admitted that at first she did only love Christian for his looks but because of the love notes, texts, and emails she has fallen in love with his soul. She said even if he was ugly she will still love him, because she no longer loves him for his looks, but only for his soul.
