- Rodrigo Borgia: [Referring to the King of France's desire to divorce his ugly queen] Forgive my curiosity. Am I to understand she is so uncomely she is unbedable?
- The French Ambassador: In all honesty then...
- Rodrigo Borgia: Yeah, honesty is always good.
- The French Ambassador: She is what we must call a two sack woman.
- Rodrigo Borgia: What?
- The French Ambassador: There are women one might take to bed only if they were to wear a sack over their heads, and then there are others where you too must wear a sack lest theirs falls off.
- Lucrezia Borgia: [about to commit incest with Cesare] Oznly a Borgia it seems can truly love a Borgia.
- Neapolitan Guard: [Surprising Micheletto and believing him to be a thief] Put that down! No more fuckin' thievin'. Do you hear me?
- Micheletto: [after a pause] You're telling me hat people would wish to steal such shit?
- Lucrezia Borgia: What rules this family, Mother?
- Vanozza Cattaneo: [With uncertainty] Love.
- Lucrezia Borgia: [She laughs derisively] Ambition... Ambition rules this family - my father's, my brother's, and I would have to add to it my own if I don't want to live in a garden of weeds.
- Cesare Borgia: Take a breath, Roberto. Have some more wine. My wine. Take a dance in the garden. My garden. The pretty young noblewomen of Rome, I'm sure, would delight to have you paw at them.
- Roberto: I care nothing for your pretty young noblewomen.
- Cesare Borgia: Then, I will introduce you to some pretty young noblemen instead.
