Vanities! Your gold, your silver-
Wait- before you speak! (the boys silence) I would have you cease marking chalk crosses on my door. (nods to the lead boy) You may continue.
Vanities! Your gold, your silver, your trinkets, your books. Give up your vanities!
(coldly) I have no vanities. I have only my intellect, which I am reluctant to relinquish- and, as you can see, with these looks, I have no vanity.
(obviously parrotting Savanarola) An Eternity in Heaven or an Eternity in Hell! What will it be?!
(unimpressed) Hell.. is here, in this city! (gestures around them, steps forward, forcing the boy back) Heaven has, of late, been removed to another place!
Are you a sinner?
The Son of Man will return in his Glory! And he will judge both the quick- and the dead! Give up your vanities, or face the Wroth of God!
Give up your vanities! Give 'em up- give up your vanities!
Would you have us break your windows?
(contemptuously) So... God is now reduced to breaking windows. Wait- one moment. (closes the door. After a moment, he re-opens it, and- much to the bewilderment of the boys, offers them a glass case containing a stuffed eagle-owl) Here! (the lead boy takes it)
Come to the square- (Machiavelli shuts the door in his face)
