Hannibal

[recreating the events of a crime] I shoot Mrs. Marlow expertly through the neck. This is not a fatal wound. The bullet misses every artery. She is paralyzed before it leaves her body. Which doesn't mean she can't feel pain. It just means she can't do anything about it. This is my design.

Alana Bloom: Normally I wouldn't even broach this, but what do you think one of Will's strongest drives is? Jack Crawford: Fear. Alana Bloom: Mm-hmm.

Hannibal Lecter: I imagine what you see and learn touches everything else in your mind. Your values and decency are present yet shocked at your associations, appalled at your dreams. No forts in the bone arena of your skull for things you love. Will Graham: Whose profile are you working on? [to Jack] Whose profile is he working on? Hannibal Lecter: I'm sorry, Will. Observing is what we do. I can't shut mine off any more than you can shut yours off. Will Graham: Please, don't psychoanalyze me. You won't like me when I'm psychoanalyzed. Jack Crawford: Will...

Hannibal Lecter: I would apologize for my analytical ambush, but I know I will soon be apologizing again and you'll tire of that eventually, so I have to consider using apologies sparingly. Will Graham: Just keep it professional. Hannibal Lecter: Or we could socialize, like adults. God forbid we become friendly. Will Graham: I don't find you that interesting. Hannibal Lecter: You will.

Hannibal Lecter: (over the phone) Mr. Garret Jacob Hobbs? Garret Jacob Hobbs: Yeah. Who's this? Hannibal Lecter: You don't know me and I suspect we will never meet. This is a courtesy call. Listen very carefully. (pause) Are you listening? Garret Jacob Hobbs: (anxious) Yes. Hannibal Lecter: They know. (hangs up)
