- Francesca: Marco.
- Marco del Monte: Uh-huh.
- Francesca: Marco, please stop working. I want to speak to you.
- Marco del Monte: Yes, but can't you see I have a lot of work to do on this entire mural and your brother commissioned me to complete it by a certain date, so as much as I would like to...
- Francesca: You always say how fond you are of me and whenever I need you, you're too busy.
- De Medici: Ah, Francesca. The Lady Adriana has arrived.
- Francesca: Am I supposed to be impressed?
- De Medici: Yes. Impressed and grateful! Rudeness, extravagance and disobedience; schemes, lies and treachery - we're going to put an end to this infamous behavior, Francesca!
- Francesca: You forget, my dear brother, schemes, lies and treachery are my heritage and I learned them all from you!
