The Borgias, Season One

1st Prostitute:
Would His Holiness see the Lord Sforza with one, or both of us? (Alexander gives Sforza an inquiring look, shrugs and glances to Burkhardt)

Rodrigo Borgia/Alexander VI:
Burkhardt?

Johannes Burkhardt:
One demonstration will suffice. (Alexander nods to the girls, who stand up)

1st Prostitute:
Me first, then. (she gets on the bed and hikes up her skirt in Sforza's direction, eliciting giggles from the Cardinals; Sforza approaches her, then stops) Do these thighs not please you? (the Cardinals laugh)

Giovanni Sforza:
Enough! (Burkhardt glances up, Cesare leans forward. Sforza glares at the Pope, who is watching him smugly) Give me a divorce.

Rodrigo Borgia/Alexander VI:
But, on what grounds?

Giovanni Sforza:
(quietly) Impotence. (the Cardinals laugh)

Johannes Burkhardt:
(dips his quill in ink) We must hear it from the Lord Sforza's own lips. For the record..."On the wedding night"... (glances at Sforza)

Sforza:
On the wedding night, I did not consummate my marriage.

Johannes Burkhardt:
"Did not" or "could not"?

Giovanni Sforza:
Did not. (Burkhardt continues to look expectantly at him)... And could not. (Burkhardt nods and keeps writing)

Burkhardt:
"You were on that night, and remain..."

Giovanni Sforza:
(enraged and humiliated) ...Impotent. (all the Cardinals, including Cesare, laugh)

Rodrigo Borgia/Alexander VI:
(smugly) We declare the marriage between the Lady Lucrezia Borgia... and the Lord Giovanni Sforza... to be invalid. As if it never existed.
