List of voters for the quote

Cesare Borgia: I ask to confess to you... Holy Father, because... I have sinned. Rodrigo Borgia/Alexander VI: And how have you sinned, my son? Cesare Borgia: I have corrupted my soul. I have pledged estates, castles, benifaces to your brother Cardinals... and transferred the documents in the innards of beasts and roasted fowls. All, to secure your election as Pope. Rodrigo Borgia/Alexander VI: And God will repay us, tenfold. Cesare Borgia: But, you must set my soul at ease, Father. Can a family such as ours survive such a prize? (chuckles darkly) We are Spaniards- they hate us. The enemies we have at present will be multiplied tenfold. Rodrigo Borgia/Alexander VI: God will protect his vicar on Earth, Cesare- and those dearest to him- Cesare Borgia: (sarcastically) Will you inform God, as to his duties in this regard? Rodrigo Borgia/Alexander VI:... Why this blasphemous tone, my son? Cesare Borgia: (grimly) Because, I swear- if God does not protect us, I shall. Rodrigo Borgia/Alexander VI: (sharply) You are a bishop, Cesare- you have no need of such temporal thoughts. Cesare Borgia: (angry) You placed this collar around my neck, Father. You made God my calling... but the sins I've committed for you must surely convince you that the Church is not my calling! (pause) I beg you, now, to release me of my vows- and let me live as a layman. As a soldier. I can then protect my family from the storm that surely must engulf it- Rodrigo Borgia/Alexander VI: You are my eldest son, Cesare. You were always destined to be a Prince of the Church! Cesare Borgia: I would be a Prince of State, Father, and I think you know that. Rodrigo Borgia/Alexander VI: The Papal Army is small, Cesare. The battles I will fight will be within these sacred walls. This is where I will need your help! (pause) Juan can bear arms for the Borgia family, and lead whatever army the Pope has, and I will not have my authority questioned further on this. Ego te Absolvo.
