The Borgias2011

Micheletto:
[having realized Pascal's betrayal, Micheletto angrily recites Catallus' poem back at him] "I hate, and I love. Why, you may ask? I do not know. But it happen, and I... and..." How does it go?

Pascal:
"I burn."

Micheletto, Pascal:
No, in the Latin, please.

Pascal:
[he hesitates, and Micheletto rushes at him and pins him against the wall] "Excrucior"! "Excrucior"!

Micheletto:
It is a big word for "burn"! [shouts furiously] Why? Why did you become my lover? Why?

Micheletto:
Because I was made an offer!

Micheletto:
From whom? [Pascal doesn't answer] You enjoyed the thrill? The danger, yes?

Pascal:
Yes! Yes! I admit, I did.

Micheletto:
I should flay you alive! But I will be merciful.

Pascal:
You will?

[Micheletto releases him and collapses to the floor, weeping]

Micheletto:
[devastated] You tell me how you wish to die, Pascal.

Pascal:
I die? [they nod at one another; he replies after a pause] In your arms.
