Will to Jack: "You don't want me in a classroom. You want me to wrap my head so tight around the Ripper I won't go back to class until he's caught."
(German: "You don't want to see me in a lecture hall. You want me to become one with the Ripper and not teach any more until he's caught.")

Franklyn: "I tried to get your attention. I knew that you were aware, even though you were pretending that you weren't. (...) I really don't know who you are outside this room."

Hannibal: "I'm your psychiatrist."

Franklyn: "I want you to be my friend. (...) And we like the same things. I think that we would make good friends. It makes me sad that I have to pay to see you"

Hannibal: "I am a source of stability and clarity, Franklyn. I'm not your friend."

Bedelia: "One of us has to be honest."

Hannibal: "I'm honest."

Bedelia: "Not perfectly."

Hannibal: "As honest as anyone."

Bedelia: "Not really. I have conversations with a version of you and hope that the actual you gets what he needs."

Hannibal: "A version of me?"

Bedelia: "Naturally, I respect its meticulous construction, but you are wearing a very well-tailored person suit. (...) Maybe it's less of a person suit and more of a human veil. That must be lonely."

Hannibal: "I have friends. And the opportunities for friends. You and I are friendly."

Bedelia: "You are my patient and my colleague, not my friend. At the end of your hour, I will pour you a glass of wine. Nevertheless, you will be drinking it on the other side of the veil."

Hannibal: "Why do you bother?"

Bedelia: "I see enough of you to see the truth of you. And I like you. Red or white?"

Hannibal: "I think something pink, don't you?"

Hannibal: "I have an unconventional psychiatrist."

Will: "Well, we have that in common."

Hannibal: "Am I your psychiatrist, or are we simply having conversations?"

Will: "Yes I think is the answer to that."

Hannibal: "Then having a glass of wine before seeing a patient, I assure you, is very conventional. Especially for evening appointments."

Will: "Huh. How long have you been seeing a psychiatrist?"

Hannibal: "Since I chose to be a psychiatrist."

Will considers that a moment, then (deleted line): "So these are just conversations."

Hannibal (deleted line): "With your friend, the psychiatrist. We do have a higher level of intimacy than the common Doctor Patient relationship. Almost as though we have a daughter together."

Doctor: "Any other infections?"

Hannibal: "You seem convinced I'm diseased."
