Help. I'm about to finish Brian Hooker's translation of Cyrano de Bergerac and in the fourth act a couple of lines are not translated. No idea why not or what they mean.

Hardi! Reculez pas, Drollos!

Toumbe dessus! Escrasas lous!

Are these nonsense lines with no translation, or do they mean something?

Thanks!

Hey, thanks a million. I'm just reading it for pleasure and got confused. Odd that they didn't put a footnote or something.
