[first lines]
[de Medici enters his apartment and finds Machiavelli feeding grapes to a pretty woman]
Duke de Medici : Enjoying yourself, Master Machiavelli?
Machiavelli : Welcome home, your excellence! Did you find what you are looking for?
Duke de Medici : Oh, yes, I found cannon - fine, sturdy brass cannon. I daresay the armorers of the Amelia are as excellent craftsmen as you will find anywhere in Europe.
Machiavelli : And yet I believe I detect a certain discordant note?
Duke de Medici : You do - the ring of brass on an empty coffer.
Machiavelli : And the excellent craftsmen of the Amelia are asking to be paid for their labors.
Duke de Medici : In gold, before delivery. Machiavelli, I must find that money!
