Pierfrancesco Favino: Niccolò Polo

Quotes 

• Niccolò Polo : [to Marco]  If you are ever afraid, if ever you doubt your place in the world, follow The Three Sisters and they will lead you home. My only fear is that I might awaken in my bed destined to live a common life once again. The blood of an adventurer courses through your veins. I can see this. You will enjoy the greatest adventure of all. You will meet the richest most powerful king on the face of this earth. The Great Kublai Khan.

  Niccolò Polo : [translating]  She says it is the work of the barbarian devil king.

  Village Woman : [continuing in Mandarin] 

  Niccolò Polo : [translating]  Her village was loyal to the rebel Song dynasty. If one does not submit to the rule of the Khan this is what happens.
