The Prince

The Borgias 3×10

& Machiavelli: I have no servants here nor in Rome, my lord. Florence can no longer afford them.
    Cesare: Ah. Democracy, Signor Machiavelli.
    Machiavelli: They say it has its merits.

& Machiavelli: What would you say, is the perfect crime, my lord?
    Cesare: One without a victim?
    Machiavelli: Hm. The one without a suspect.

& Rodrigo Borgia: All the same discord. Votes in conclave, bonds sold, families and factions, blade against blade. Would not it be... simpler... just to hand on the keys of St. Peter from father to son?..

& Rodrigo Borgia: Primogeniture. It’s the simplest and most efficient transfer of power known to men.

& Rodrigo Borgia: God’s true Kingdom here on Earth.
    Cesare: Handed... from father to son.
    Rodrigo Borgia: Is God served well by the papal elections? Is the College of Cardinals mentioned in the Gospel? No. That is the past. Primogeniture is the future. Simple. Preordained.

& Cesare: What does this sword read?
    — Aut Caesar, aut nihil!

& Catherina Sforza: We’re under siege! We’re under siege already and winter is coming!

& Cesare: Where have you been?
    Micheletto: Talking to God.
    Cesare: And what did He say?
    Micheletto: Nothing.
