The Borgias, Season Two
Lucrezia Borgia:
(observing the poor as she and Julia Farnese walk through Rome) These children need an orphanage!
Julia Farnese:
Indeed, they do. But, the nunneries that used to care for them are starved of funds- and the orphanage on Piazzo Naverna is now a Cardinal's palace. Here, once stood a statue of the goddess Selas Minnerva- and here flowed crystal springwater from the Alban Hills.
Lucrezia Borgia:
Statues are easily restored; water is not.
Julia Farnese:
(looks directly at her) So- I would use my wit, and yours, to outwit those who divert funds, and water, from poor houses and palaces.
Lucrezia Borgia:
(nods) Cardinals- and the Curia.
Julia Farnese:
You are far too clever. (takes her arm and leads her away)
Lucrezia Borgia:
(smiles) It would be fun, to outwit a brace of Cardinals.
Julia Farnese:
More than fun- it would save lives. And, there is one more brain I would engage in our cause: your mother's.
Lucrezia Borgia:
(chuckles) My mother? But, she-
Julia Farnese:
You must admit, three minds would be better than two. And, your mother and I are far beyond such enmities.
