The Borgias

The Borgias2011



Prince Djem:
You have news?

Lucrezia Borgia:
I'm to be married.

Prince Djem:
Oh, my dear!

Lucrezia Borgia:
Have you been married?

Prince Djem:
I have taken four women to wife.

Lucrezia Borgia:
Four?

Prince Djem:
Mmmm-hmmm,

Lucrezia Borgia:
Where are they now,

Prince Djem:
In the Serali of Topkapi Palace in Constantinople.

Lucrezia Borgia:
Hoow many wives can you have?

Prince Djem:
As many as Allah sees fit to provide. [They both laugh]

Prince Djem:
And as to concubines an infinite number.

Lucrezia Borgia:
What is the difference, Djem, between wife and concubine?

Prince Djem:
No difference really.

Prince Djem:
[after a short reflection] Ah, you can beat a wife but not kill her.

Lucrezia Borgia:
You can kill a concubine?

Prince Djem:
If she displeases you. You can kill a wife too, but the displeasure must be great.
