Kaidu
- Kaidu: You'd take the word of a round eye over blood?
- Kublai Khan: Sad, isn't it? But his words have proven true.
- Kublai Khan: What is it about progress that makes you squeal like a pig in heat?
- Kaidu: Sight of my origins. Purity of my ancestors' intent. Lose that and I lose my soul.
- Kublai Khan: Purity is cried by those who follow. Leading is putting your soul on the line, so others may have the freedom to ponder theirs. It's an onus like no other.
- Kaidu: If you so resent it, why not relinquish it?
- Kublai Khan: So that you could tear down everything I built? You really want to be remembered for ruining an empire on the cusp of ruling over all?
- Kaidu: I want to be the one remembered for saving it. From you.
- Kublai Khan: Rhetoric is easy. But it masks envy, lust, greed. Or is just a desire to finally still your old mother's nagging?
- Kaidu: Spoken by the son of a murderous, thieving bitch!
