Cesare Borgia: (observing the ceremonial crowning of Charles by Alexander) It is an august sight, is it not?
Guiliano Della Rovere: St. Peter's in its' full glory, the Pope of Rome in Cathedra, the Sistine Chapel Choir singing. It would bring tears to one's eyes, Cardinal Borgia.
Cesare Borgia: I want to compliment you, Cardinal, on your... steadfastness, your probity, your...survival, indeed.
Guiliano Della Rovere: (nods) It did prove hard, at times.
Cesare Borgia: In fact, you proved such a worthy opponent, that... I would gladly have you back in Rome. (Della Rovere glances sharply at him)
Guiliano Della Rovere: You?
Cesare Borgia: I have my father's ear, as you must understand. And, he needs someone with the steel that your soul has. (Della Rovere looks away)
Guiliano Della Rovere: He has you, doesn't he?
Cesare Borgia: I will not be Cardinal forever; surely, you must know that.
Guiliano Della Rovere: And the other Cardinals?
Cesare Borgia: Well, my father's problem is he surrounds himself with weakness. (he and Della Rovere meet each other's gaze) And, with your strength, Cardinal-
Guiliano Della Rovere: I serve God...and can only pray the Papacy survives its' current occupant. (looks towards Alexander)
Cesare Borgia:... I could've killed you. Twice.
Guiliano Della Rovere: Perhaps, then, you should kill me now. Because my opposition to the Borgia Papacy will only die with me.
