* ''Theatre/CesareIlCreatoreCheHaDistrutto'' has one between future popes. [[UsefulNotes/PopeJuliusII Giuliano della Rovere]] starts by singing about how Italy is a rotting fruit on the verge of collapse, and [[UsefulNotes/PopeAlexanderVI Rodrigo Borgia]] enters, [[MoodWhiplash turning the tune around]] and singing about how Spain is flourishing. The one thing they both agree on? That the one who controls it all is the pope, and that they're both determined to do whatever it takes to win at the imminent conclave. They most definitely are not friends, and are actively trying to kill each other.
