France to Naples: I shall attack Florence if and only if you let me move into Gulf of Lions.
France to Venice: Get out of Milan. Now!
Naples to France: If at first you ‘t succeed,…
Naples to Venice: I am in temporary need of the money…
Naples to Papacy: A blind Venetian told me to.
Naples to Milan: Bye bye greenie.
Naples to Florence: Support me to, Mr Tan.
Papacy to Florence: Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me.
Venice to Naples: Welcome to French home waters. Even with his mercenaries. They cannot withstand our power.
Venice to Milan: I will add your distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us.
Venice to France: One army helps you. One army fights you. Which one do you prefer?? Give me Pavia and you will see more of one than the other.
Notes
Milan no longer controls any of his home cities and is thus eliminated.
