"[Cesare: What has happened here?] I do not know what you mean? [Cesare: My funds, my troops. Gone.] Financial difficulties strike all of us, even those with an army. [Cesare: You intend to give me money?] No, I do not. [Cesare: Then I will use the Piece of Eden to get what I want. Your help is not necessary.] That has been made abundantly clear to me. Are you aware that the Baron de Valois is dead? [Cesare: No. Did you-] What reason could I possibly have to kill him? Was he plotting against me with my "brilliant," traitorous, Captain General? [Cesare: I do not have to stand for this.] The Assassins murdered him. [Cesare: Why did you not stop them?] As if I could. It was not my decision to attack Monteriggioni, it was yours! It is high time you took responsibility for your actions. [Cesare: My accomplishments. Despite the constant interference of failures like you.] You are not going anywhere. I have the Piece of Eden. [Cesare: Get out of my way, old man.] I gave you everything and yet it's never enough! [Lucrezia: Cesare! He intends to poison you!] You would not listen to reason. [Cesare: Father. Do you not see? I control all of this. If I want to live, I live. If I want to take, I take. If I want you to die, you die!]"
