 In Some Assembly Required, Giles tries to think of a way to ask Jenny Calendar on a date. Overhearing him, Buffy suggests he say, “Hey, I got a thing, you maybe have a thing, maybe we could have a thing” to which Giles replies, “Oh, thank you, Cyrano.” This is a reference to the character Cyrano de Bergerac in Edmond Rostand’s 1897 play. Cyrano was an eloquent poet and swordsman whose only flaw was his insecurity about his large nose. He helps his friend Christian woo the beautiful Roxanne by giving him the right words to say to Roxanne, even though Cyrano is in love with Roxanne himself. |
