- Cesare Borgia: Do you know anyone in Forli?
- Micheletto: I know everyone in Forli. Eminence.
- Cesare Borgia: How?
- Micheletto: I was born there.
- Cesare Borgia: I can't imagine you being born, Micheletto... or dying, for that matter. You must show me your ancestral home.
- Caterina Sforza: [to Cesare as they are passionately making love] I am a freak of nature, Cardinal... an aberration, a free woman in a man's world.
- Rodrigo Borgia: [about Savanarola] Perhaps the good friar could be bought.
- Piero De Medici: [Doubtful] With money?
- Rodrigo Borgia: With a bishopric. Generalship of the Dominican Order.
- Piero De Medici: The Dominican Order already does his bidding.
- Niccolo Machiavelli: And how can you buy one who would outlaw trade itself?
- Rodrigo Borgia: You offer him something that money cannot buy - Heaven itself!
