• Frederico Auditore : It is a good life we lead, brother.

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : The best. May it never change.

  Frederico Auditore : And may it never change us.

• Maria de' Mozzi : You should find an outlet.

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : I have plenty of outlets!

  Maria de' Mozzi : [seriously]  I meant besides vaginas.

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : [irritatingly]  Mother!

• Ezio Auditore da Firenze : I thought... I thought I was beyond this. But I'm not. I've waited too long, lost too much. Requiescat in Pace, you bastard!

• Rodrigo Borgia : You can't. You can't! This is my destiny. MINE! I am the prophet!

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : You never were.

  Rodrigo Borgia : Get it over with then.

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : No. Killing you won't bring my family back. I'm done. Nulla è reale, tutto è lecito. Requiescat in pace.

  [Nothing is true, everything is permitted. Rest in peace] 

• Ezio Auditore da Firenze : Buona sera, Vieri! We were just talking about you. I'm surprised to see you here. I thought the Pazzi hired others to do their dirty work.

  Vieri de' Pazzi : It's your family that cries for guards when there's trouble, codardo

  [Italian word for 'coward'] 

  Vieri de' Pazzi : ! Afraid to handle things your self?

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : Your sister seemed quite satisfied with the 'handling' I gave her earlier.

• Ezio Auditore da Firenze : What do you even want with the Vault, Rodrigo?

  Rodrigo Borgia : Don't you know what lies within? Or do you mean to tell me the great and powerful Assassins didn't figure it out?

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : Figure out what?

  Rodrigo Borgia : God! It's God that dwells within.

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : You expect me to believe that God lives beneath il Vaticano?

  Rodrigo Borgia : A more logical location than a kingdom on a cloud, don't you think? Surrounded by singing angels and cherubim. Makes for a lovely image, but the truth is far more interesting.

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : Let's say I was to believe you - what do you think He'll do when you open that door?

  Rodrigo Borgia : I don't care. It's not approval I'm after, just power.

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : And you think He'll give it up?

  Rodrigo Borgia : Whatever lies beyond that wall won't be able to resist the Staff and Apple. They were MADE for felling Gods.

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : God is meant to be all knowing. All powerful. You think a couple of ancient relics can harm Him.

  Rodrigo Borgia : You know nothing, boy. You take your image of the creators from an ancient book - a book, mind you, written by men.

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : You are the Pope! And yet you dismiss the central text of your Faith?

  Rodrigo Borgia : Are you so naïve? I became Pope because it gave me access. It gave me power! Do you think I believe a single god-damned word of that ridiculous book? It's all lies and superstition. Just like every other religious tract written over the past ten thousand years.

• Ezio Auditore da Firenze : I've always had a soft spot for women in distress.

• Ezio Auditore da Firenze : [about to fight Rodrigo Borgia, hand-to-hand style]  It's over Rodrigo. No more tricks, no more ancient artifacts, no more weapons. Let's see what you are made of, old man!

• Vieri de' Pazzi : I'm sorry, were you hoping for a confession?

  [Vierri dies] 

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : [yelling in Italian]  Piece of shit! I only wish you'd suffered more! You met the fate you deserved! I hope you...

  Mario Auditore : [approaching]  Enough, Ezio! Show some respect!

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : [throwing down Vierri's corpse]  Respect? After all that's happened? Do you think he would have shown either of us such kindness?

  Mario Auditore : You have *killed* Vieri; do *not* become him.

  [Mario kneels down to close Vierri's eyes] 

  Mario Auditore : Requiescat in pace.

• Ezio Auditore da Firenze : Doesn't seem like anybody showed up, Rodrigo! How many people have died for this? For what's in this box? And look- There's nobody here!

  Rodrigo Borgia : You claim not to be a believer. And yet, here you are... Don't you see him? The Prophet is already here... I am the Prophet. Now give me the Apple.

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : Come and take it from me.

• Mario Auditore : Laa shay'a waqi'un moutlaq bale kouloun moumkine. These are the words spoken by our ancestors that lay at the heart of our creed.

  Niccolò Machiavelli : Where other men blindly follow the truth, remember...

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : Nothing is true.

  Niccolò Machiavelli : Where other men are limited, by morality or law, remember...

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : Everything is permitted.

  Niccolò Machiavelli : We work in the dark, to serve the light. We are assassins.

  [Everyone collectively] 

  Niccolò Machiavelli : Nothing is true, everything is permitted.

• Uberto : You would have done the same, to save the ones you loved...

  Ezio Auditore da Firenze : Yes, I would, and I have.
