Vadim Glowna: Jorge da Costa

Quotes 

• Jorge da Costa : There is a wall around Rome. And there is another wall around the wall, made of hands. Hands grabbing for coins.

  Rodrigo Borgia : The poor have empty hands, my dear Costa, but their palms are small.

  Jorge da Costa : Not so small that they cannot pick up knives and clubs, which will happen if we do not reform the church. We shall be murdered in our beds.

  Rodrigo Borgia : I agree. That is why, if chosen, I will, like a potter at his wheel, mold a new church.

  Jorge da Costa : Yes. With your big hands. Always reaching beyond your grasp. You have no chance of being elected.

  Rodrigo Borgia : I am a Borgia. I leave nothing to chance.

• Rodrigo Borgia : My dear Costa, why do you not see that I'm your ally? I believe in the same goals as you.

  Jorge da Costa : In voting for my rules, you abstained.

  Rodrigo Borgia : In order to remain neutral.

  Jorge da Costa : Yes, you are the ultimate bureaucrat.
