I must return to my husband in the morning.
Why?
Because he is my husband. Because our father needs his allegiance.
I should keep you here in chains- I suspect you would be happier.
(looks sharply at him) Why do you question my happiness?
Because something happened. I know it.
What do you know?
Your eyes. (Lucrezia turns away) You no longer walk on air. (she walks away, he follows her) Where is my young sister hiding?
I am the Lord Sforza's wife, Brother.
If he does ill by you, I shall do ill by him.
He would be wise to be kind, then. (they both stop)
What are... his pleasures?
Hunting. (bitterly) The marital bed.
(exhales angrily) I dislike him already.
(smirks, sits) But he had an accident, Brother- and now, he can indulge in neither.
A happy accident?
Yes. God is good.
But he will recover.
Unfortunately, yes. (Cesare sits down, looks at her)
...You are no longer a child, Sis. I won't forgive him for that.
... There was a reason for my marriage, Brother. (pause, looks at him) Remind me of it. (Cesare looks away, then leaves)
