- Gabriel de Guzman: Welcome to LaMancha, Senior Borgia.
- Cesare Borgia: Senior. I am *Prince* Cesare of the Romania.
- Gabriel de Guzman: I'm Gabriel de Guzman, a keeper. Here is Alonso Pimental, a priest.
- Alonso Pimental: I'm your chaplain and confessor.
- Cesare Borgia: I fear that I will have little need of your services. Salvation and I parted company many years ago.
- Alonso Pimental: Well, I also play chess.
- Cesare Borgia: The old rules, or mad queen's chess.
- Alonso Pimental: Mad queen, of course. They *are* Spanish rules.
- Cesare Borgia: Bueno! We must play.
- Gabriel de Guzman: Enough! You will have time a plenty to chatter like women.
- Lucrezia Borgia: I will do the one thing for my husband that his sister cannot, an act which will bind me to him: the birth of a legitimate male heir. Sex becomes for me not a way to pleasure, but to survival.
- Francisco Jimenez de Cisneros: [to Aragon] Instead of judging the Borgia, you have become one!
- Cesare Borgia: How many veins, Jimenez, have you opened during the Inquisition?
- Francisco Jimenez de Cisneros: I have done so by order of God!
- Cesare Borgia: Show me God's signature on the death warrant.
- Philip Von Hapsburg: These four walls will be your doom. I, however, will set you free.
- Cesare Borgia: In my experience, with every offer comes a demand, masquerading as a request.

- Gabriel de Guzman: [to Cesare in shackles] And so the dog returns to the kennel. Be grateful to his most Catholic Majesty for not having you executed. At least not yet.
- Cesare Borgia: You wait de Guzman, one day soon I will rip your heart out.
