Quotes
-
Rodrigo Borgia : I will grant you my title as Legate.
Jorge Da Costa : You will offer land in addition to coin? That is a bold step.
Rodrigo Borgia : I have more acreage than Sforza.
Jorge Da Costa : But Perugia? Why choose to give away such a title, such income?

Cardinal Sforza : You shuffled four mules loaded with coin out of the Vatican treasury.
Rodrigo Borgia : As a precaution.
Cardinal Sforza : Let us rob the bank to save it?
Rodrigo Borgia : I do not need to steal. I have enough gold, silver and rare gems to fill the Sistine to its rafters.
Cardinal Sforza : Shall we see who can fill which room with what?
Rodrigo Borgia : Perhaps I have not mastered the Milanese dialect as well as I thought. I speak not out of pride, but in friendship As Vice Chancellor, you can become rich. Richer than you are, richer than you know.
Cardinal Sforza : Yes, but there is a problem with that. You would be Pope. Do you understand my dialect now?
-
Rodrigo Borgia : Common men always choose to believe the worst about the noble class. Our transgressions give the poor a sense of cosmic equality.

Rodrigo Borgia : Yes. I am "We." I speak for the souls of mankind.
