Bhallaladeva: [Bhallaladeva talks to his crown] Mahishmathi, ever since I can remember, I have longed for you. In every dream I saw you fitted onto my head. After all these years, after all these conspiracies, you came into my grasp. Then why are you running away from me now? I made you my first priority, so why have you rejected me and chosen Baahubali instead?
[He presses his hand down on the sharp edges of the crown, making it bleed]
Bijjaladeva: Bhalla, you are the king now. Order Baahubali to be killed. Who is going to stop you? Have him killed!
Bhallaladeva: I have the power to command, but the power to execute still lies with the Queen Mother. This custom needs to be changed.
Bijjaladeva: Change Sivagami? The sun can never rise from the west, Bhalla.
Bhallaladeva: Whether it rises from the west or not, I will make it set in the east.

Sivagami: If Baahubali is given the death sentence, the subjects will revolt, the court will split into factions. War within! This won't be good for our kingdom.
Bijjaladeva: So are you just going to let such a criminal get away?
Sivagami: BAAHUBALI'S DEATH IS CERTAIN!
[Bijjaladeva gasps]
Sivagami: But his blood shouldn't stain the King's hands. He shouldn't go down in history as his younger brother's murderer.
Bijjaladeva: Then what should we do?
