Cesare Borgia: You know what that means? Vanozza Cattaneo: I know there will be an election. Juan Borgia: (enters after Cesare) And the city will be bedlam until it is over. Lucrezia Borgia: Do you think our father can win, Juan? :Juan Borgia: Are we allowed to dream, Mother? Vanozza Cattaneo: Your father found ways to love and care for us in this house, but I'm not sure that, as Pope, he can do the same. Juan Borgia: As Pope, he can do what he wants. Vanozza Cattaneo: (gives him a direct look) Are you sure? Kings and Popes and Emperors belong to their people, not to their families. Cesare Borgia: So- we allow the election to run its' course, and he won't be Pope? Vanozza Cattaneo: What other course is there? It's in the hands of God. Cesare Borgia: (smiles) It's in the hands of the College of Cardinals, Mother. Not quite the same thing. (gestures to Joffrey to play a particular card) This one."
