Giovanni Cybo/Innocent VIII: (to the Cardinals, as he is dying) You are afraid to enter, but you must. (they enter) I am about to meet my maker, and I have confessed. And, I confess... I am very afraid. (acknowledges several of them, and they bow) Corlona. Sforza. Orsini. Borgia.
Rodrigo Borgia: (bows) Your Holiness.
Giovanni Cybo/Innocent VIII:...Della Rovere. (Della Rovere bows) You will fight, like dogs... over this corpse I leave...for this throne, of St. Peter's. (Della Rovere crosses himself) But, it was pure, once. We have all sullied it, with our greed and... lechery. (Borgia and Della Rovere meet each other's eyes) Which of you... will wash it clean?! (Della Rovere seems about to speak, but Borgia speaks first)
Rodrigo Borgia: It shall be cleansed, Your Holiness- with the tears we shed for you. I swear, before the living God.
Orsino Orsini: (sneering) You swear thus- a Spanish burano, a white Moor?!
Rodrigo Borgia: (firmly) As Vice-Chancellor, I swear, before the living God. (kisses the Pope's hand)
Ascanio Sforza: And so do I, Your Holiness.
Cardinal Versucci: And I, Your Holiness. (the Cardinals all gather around the bed, voicing their assurances)
Guiliano Della Rovere: Rest assured, Your Holiness, the glory of our Holy Mother Church will be restored- in my lifetime. (kisses the Pope's hand as Borgia watches him)
