Juan Borgia : I should come with you, Father.
Rodrigo Borgia : We need you here. You must charm the King as long as possible, giving us time to move northward, and for Spain to lay siege to Naples.
Lucrezia Borgia : But Father, the last time Charles came to Rome, you remained.
Rodrigo Borgia : Last time, Charles believed us weak, we believed *ourselves* weak. There was no threat to him. Now the outcome is unknowable.
Lucrezia Borgia : So, when you are weak, you stay, but when you are strong, you flee?
Rodrigo Borgia : As long as even one Borgia dwells in Rome, our travels cannot be seen as flight, because your presence is a sign of our intention to return.
Lucrezia Borgia : But why must both of us stay?
Rodrigo Borgia : Charles will do you no harm.
Lucrezia Borgia : How can you be certain? You said no one would harm my mother.
Rodrigo Borgia : Because Juan will agree, on our behalf, to all the King's demands. Drown him in yeses. Any concordat can be reversed.
Juan Borgia : Holiness, I will reflect you as my armor does the sun.

Rodrigo Borgia : Just as 30,000 Venetian soldiers move in concert with King Ferdinand's army to attack the French by land and sea, you suddenly arrive to announce Milan's change of allegiance. The French must be finished, for Lord knows the Sforza only join the side which holds victory in its grasp.
Cardinal Sforza : How are we any different than you, Holiness?
