The Borgias, Season One

Cesare Borgia:
(observing the bodies) You planned this massacre thoroughly.

Micheletto Corella:
If I had planned it, my Lord, believe me, we would not be having this conversation.

Cesare Borgia:
You're that meticulous?

Micheletto Corella:
Always. (removes a dagger from a body and throws it aside)

Cesare Borgia:
And who planned it?

Micheletto Corella:
Cardinal Orsini.

Cesare Borgia:
And Della Rovere?

Micheletto Corella:
I know nothing of him. In this affair, I had but one master. (leans against the wall to catch his breath)

Cesare Borgia:
And now?...

Micheletto Corella:
And now, I am like a stray dog- masterless. (glances at Cesare) Unless your kind offer still stands.

Cesare Borgia:
You could've... let things take their course, betrayed me. Most of your kind do.

Micheletto Corella:
My kind? (pause) I do not have a "kind". (glances at his bloody hands, then back to Cesare) And, I suspect, neither do you.

Cesare Borgia:
(sheathes his dagger, approaches) Your name, sweet assassin?

Micheletto Corella:
(straightens up)... Micheletto.

Cesare Borgia:
You must prove yourself worthy of my trust, then.

Micheletto Corella:
(gestures to the pile of corpses) This is not proof enough?

Cesare Borgia:
Perhaps... perhaps not. Can you dispose of these corpses?

Micheletto Corella:
You would keep them secret?

Cesare Borgia:
More than that- I would keep you secret. (pause) Dump them in the Tiber- meet me at the Vatican gates in two hours' time. We shall discuss your future service.
