1.10 Buffet Froid

Will: "I can feel my nerves clicking like, uh, roller coaster cogs, pulling up to the inevitable long plunge."

Hannibal: "Quick sounds, quickly ended."

Will: "Abigail Hobbs ended Nicholas Boyle. Like a burst balloon. She took a life."

Hannibal: "You've taken a life."

Will: "Yeah. Yeah, so have you."

Hannibal: "You're grieving, Will. Not for the life you have taken, but for the life that was taken from you. If Abigail could have started over, left the horror of her father behind, so could have you. You could untangle yourself from the madness and the murder."

Will: "We lied for her."

Hannibal: "We both know the unreality of taking a life. The people who die when we have no other choice, we know in those moments they are not flesh, but light, and air, and color."

Will: "Isn't that what it is to be alive?"

Hannibal: "Do you feel alive, Will?"

Will: "I... I feel like I'm fading."

Hannibal: "Have you experienced any further loss of time? Or hallucinations? I'd like you to draw a clock face. Numbered. Small hand indicating the hour, large hand the minute."

Will: "Why?"

Hannibal: "An exercise. I want you to focus on the present moment. The now. Often as you can, think of where you are, and when. Think of who you are."

Will: "Seven sixteen PM. I'm in Baltimore, Maryland. And my name is Will Graham."

Hannibal: "A simple reminder. The handle to reality for you to hold on to. And know you're alive."

Will: "I thought the reason you had me seeing. Dr. Lecter and not an FBI psychiatrist is so my mental well-being stays... unofficial."

Jack: "I just want to be careful with you. We don't want to break you here. Is that what's happening? Have I broken you?"

Will: "Do you have anyone that does this better unbroken than I do broken?"

Will: "I still have the... coppery smell of blood on my hands. I can't remember seeing the crime scene before I saw myself killing her."

Hannibal: "Those memories sank out of sight, yet you're aware of their absence."

Will: "There's a grandiosity to the violence that I imagined that feels more real than what I know is true."

Hannibal: "What do you know to be true?"

Will: "I know I didn't kill her. I couldn't have. But I remember cutting into her. I remember watching her die."

Hannibal: "You must overcome these delusions that are disguising your reality. What kind of savage delusions does this killer have?"

Will: "It wasn't savage. It was lonely. It was desperate. Sad. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and I looked right through me, past me, as if I was a... was just a stranger."
