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! ☼ 24 June 1459 † 30 November 1524
Romani: Have you heard the term ‘gypsy’?
Ezio: Quite often, sì (yes).
Romani: Did you know that this word was born from the misapprehension that my people are from Egypt?
Ezio: You find it offensive?
Romani: I find it funny. My people are from eastern Persia and beyond. Yet, somehow we have become citizens of a land we have never seen.
Ezio: People are quick to judge and slow to correct themselves.
Romani: Psh… People are stupid.
Ezio: Sometimes.
Romani: Ezio, the simplest answer is always the best.
Ezio: Love binds our Order together; love of people, of cultures, of the world. Fight to preserve that which inspires hope, and you will win back your people.
Shao Jun: It will take a long time. Long time…
Ezio: If you do it right,
sì
(yes).
Leonardo: Ezio…? You are still alive!
Ezio: Look at this place! The past two years have been kind to you.
Ezio: I was hoping you might be able to help me with something.
Leonardo: Aha! You’ve found another! How exciting!
Happy birthday to one of the most talented and influential artist/scientist that ever lived!

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!
