The Borgias, Season Two

Vanozza Cattaneo:
Your father claims I have warned you against the dangers of marriage. (Lucrezia smiles) You have incurred his extreme displeasure. I think it might make him ill.

Lucrezia Borgia:
Well, then father and daughter will be ill together! the thought of marriage turns my stomach.

Vanozza Cattaneo:
It's within his prerogative to marry you to whomever he may please.

Lucrezia Borgia:
Well, then let him do it. (flops back over her bed) And he can fish me out of the Tiber.

Vanozza Cattaneo:
(looks at her) He's asked me to vet suitors on your behalf.

Lucrezia Borgia:
(sits up, looking offended) And you agreed?

Vanozza Cattaneo:
More or less. (Lucrezia sighs angrily) At least it leaves you with a choice! (sits next to her daughter)

Lucrezia Borgia:
Mother, the man I married was a beast. I was little more than meat to him.

Vanozza Cattaneo:
And yet, you took the stableboy as your lover. (they both smile)

Lucrezia Borgia:
Well, that was different.

Vanozza Cattaneo:
Then, there is hope for you yet.

Lucrezia Borgia:
... I do not deny that the warm touch of a lover would ease the pain.

Vanozza Cattaneo:
(takes Lucrezia by the chin and looks at her) So- all is not lost. (embraces her)
