The Borgias, Season Two

Lucrezia Borgia:
(returns to her apartments after her midnight meeting with Paolo) Is he sleeping, nurse? (pulls back the curtains around her son's bed to reveal Cesare sitting next to it)

Cesare Borgia:
(mildly disapproving) He did miss his mother.

Lucrezia Borgia:
(shocked) Cesare!

Cesare Borgia:
You have a lover, Sis?

Lucrezia Borgia:
No, Brother. (closes the curtains, walks around the cradle) But, this child has a father.

Cesare Borgia:
A stablehand.

Lucrezia Borgia:
...Who has come to Rome.

Cesare Borgia:
Ah- unwise.

Lucrezia Borgia:
You disapprove?

Cesare Borgia:
Not yet, but I know those who would.

Lucrezia Borgia:
My father-

Cesare Borgia:
Your brother.

Lucrezia Borgia:
(sighs, sprawls over her own bed) My husband whipped him. My brother would flay him.

Cesare Borgia':
Which is why you go out hooded.

Lucrezia Borgia:
At night, like a phantom. (pause, she sighs, Cesare looks down) Cesare, he suffered for me in absolute silence. He would've died for me. The least I can do is let him see his child-

Cesare Borgia:
You loved him, Sis?

Lucrezia Borgia:
(smiles slightly)... I did. Perhaps, I do.

Cesare Borgia:
(stands, approaches her) Then you must see him.

Lucrezia Borgia:
You would help me?

Cesare Borgia:
(sprawls over the bed next to her) Once, and only once. Just... tell me what to do.

Lucrezia Borgia:
Find us a room, where we can spend one night together away from prying eyes-

Cesare Borgia:
(meets her eyes) One night. You promise?

Lucrezia Borgia:
I promise.

Cesare Borgia:
(pause) Go to our mother's house, tomorrow evening. She needs to see her grandchild, does she not?

Lucrezia Borgia:
(smiles) And?...

Cesare Borgia:
Leave the rest to me.
