Quotes 

• Rodrigo Borgia : You can't. You can't! This is my destiny. MINE! I am the prophet!

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : You never were.

  Rodrigo Borgia : Get it over with then.

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : No. Killing you won't bring my family back. I'm done. Nulla è reale, tutto è lecito. Requiescat in pace.

  [Nothing is true, everything is permitted. Rest in peace] 

• Ezio Auditore da Firenze : What do you even want with the Vault, Rodrigo?

  Rodrigo Borgia : Don't you know what lies within? Or do you mean to tell me the great and powerful Assassins didn't figure it out?

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : Figure out what?

  Rodrigo Borgia : God! It's God that dwells within.

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : You expect me to believe that God lives beneath il Vaticano?

  Rodrigo Borgia : A more logical location than a kingdom on a cloud, don't you think? Surrounded by singing angels and cherubim. Makes for a lovely image, but the truth is far more interesting.

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : Let's say I was to believe you - what do you think He'll do when you open that door?

  Rodrigo Borgia : I don't care. It's not approval I'm after, just power.

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : And you think He'll give it up?

  Rodrigo Borgia : Whatever lies beyond that wall won't be able to resist the Staff and Apple. They were MADE for felling Gods.

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : God is meant to be all knowing. All powerful. You think a couple of ancient relics can harm Him.

  Rodrigo Borgia : You know nothing, boy. You take your image of the creators from an ancient book - a book, mind you, written by men.

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : You are the Pope! And yet you dismiss the central text of your Faith?

  Rodrigo Borgia : Are you so naïve? I became Pope because it gave me access. It gave me power! Do you think I believe a single god-damned word of that ridiculous book? It's all lies and superstition. Just like every other religious tract written over the past ten thousand years.

• Rodrigo Borgia : So sorry to have claimed your prize, Assassin. Did you honestly think I wouldn't expect you to follow? That I didn't plan for it? We've been at this a lot longer than you.

• Ezio Auditore da Firenze : Doesn't seem like anybody showed up, Rodrigo! How many people have died for this? For what's in this box? And look- There's nobody here!

  Rodrigo Borgia : You claim not to be a believer. And yet, here you are... Don't you see him? The Prophet is already here... I am the Prophet. Now give me the Apple.

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : Come and take it from me.

• Rodrigo Borgia : I will cut you down, Assassin!

• Rodrigo Borgia : This is a losing battle for you, hombrecito. You will die by my hand, just like your father. This war has been going on far longer than either of us have played a role.

• Rodrigo Borgia : We put our faith in your family and you repay us with inaction and incompetence? Then when asked to account for your failures, you make excuses and insult us? How do you expect me to respond?

  Jacopo de' Pazzi : I... don't know...

  Rodrigo Borgia : It's alright, I do.
