(high from the opium) Brother. (limps towards Cesare) Have you come to beg forgiveness for your insult?
... I have.
(claps him on the shoulder) You are already forgiven.
Imagine... that you're sitting on the edge of a vast well, your feet dangling over the edge. Moving slowly around the walls of the well, like smoke, there's... a world of wonders reaching down, as far as the eye can see.
You see, these wonders... are your life. (pause) I glimpse us, Cesare. Two brothers in harmony, walking together. (smiles) All these visions are the work of tears.
...Tears of blood?
... No. (stops) Tears of the poppy. Everything is there for you to see. Your birth... and, of course, your death. But... but the miracle is, that there's no pain. (laughs shakily) I've been in pain, Cesare, for all my years. (pause) And, you... you are in pain, Brother. I can feel it.
(face contorted with emotion)... Yes. I am in pain.
... You would end your pain. (embraces Cesare)
... Yes. (pause) And I would end yours.
My Brother... what is this? (Cesare's face hardens again)
Only God forgives. (stepping forward, he stabs Juan twice more in the stomach) We're Borgias. We never forgive. (He and Micheletto both grab Juan, holding him upright)
... I stand in awe, Your Eminence.
...You killed your father.
And still, I stand in awe.
