(to a nearby whore) You know this man?
No, Father- he had no name last night. (Cesare grabs Juan by the feet and yanks him out of the bed, then drags him upright by the hair, waking him up)
(sheepishly) Brother.
(amused) You have a priest for a brother?
A Cardinal. (Cesare frog-marches him across the room)
Cardinal? I shoulda charged you double!
(chuckles) I imagine you did- (Cesare dunks him headfirst into a bucket of water, then pulls him back up and shoves him onto a blanket)
(curtly) Your father would review the forces at his command, Gonfaloniere.
I am out of sorts this morning, Brother.
It's afternoon. (picks up a bowl of water)
Ah, no!- (vainly trys to shield himself as Cesare throws the water on him)
(smirks) You know me, Brother- I disapprove of lechery, debauchery, drunkenness.
(grins) Which is why our father made you the Cardinal.
Why, then, did he make you a Duke? (throws the rest of Juan's clothes at him)
(smugly) Because lechery and debauchery are the very marks of nobility. (Cesare grabs his arm and yanks him upright again)
Most of Italy has galloped off to the French side. They've heard a sound that is new to their Italian ears: the sound of cannon. (sharply) And the Gonfaloniere has other duties besides lechery and debauchery- there is the tedious business of war.
