Ezio: I thought you had sent for me?

Machiavelli: Never. News of the Villa attack has spread across the city. We were certain that you were dead.

Ezio: Not yet. I am still very much alive.

Happy birthday to the Italian Assassin who is (musically) still very much alive in every Assassin’s Creed game.

Machiavelli: You and I have not seen eye-to-eye on many issues.

Ezio: Niccolò–

Machiavelli: But you are exactly what the Order needed. You have led the charge against the Templars and rebuilt this Brotherhood. Now, we must put Ezio where he belongs, at the head of the Assassins.

Ezio Auditore da Firenze. You will now be known as il Mentore (The Mentor), the guardian of our Order and our secrets.

Assassins: Nothing is true.

Ezio: Where other men are limited by morality or law, remember…

Assassins: Everything is permitted.

Happy birthday to the Mentor of the Italian Brotherhood!

Ezio: Claudia,

it is good to be home. How is mother?

Claudia: She’s fine. I heard you were returning, but I am glad to
see it with my own eyes. The Contessa (Countess) of Forlì is here to
welcome you. I had no idea you were so famous!

Ezio: Caterina? Here?

Claudia: Is it finished, then? Is the Spaniard truly
dead?

Ezio: Gather the others in Mario’s study tonight. I’ll explain
everything there.

Happy birthday Claudia Auditore!

† ?

Ezio: Bambino (Little man), why do you cry?

Boy: They’re going to take my mama on a boat ride. They say I will go on the next one.

Ezio: Who?

Boy: A man from the castle came with guards and arrested us. He scared me.

Ezio: They ARE scary. But you look very brave.

Boy: Will you bring my mama back?

Ezio: Where did they take your mother?

Boy: Down that street. 

Ezio: Good. Do you have some place to go for now?

Boy: My uncle’s.

Ezio: Go there. Do not stop to talk to anyone!
