Hannigram Quotes

2.07 Yakimono

Will: "This is very sudden."

Chilton: "The federal prosecutor dropped all charges. Since you were not convicted of killing anyone, the basis for your sentencing to this institution is null and void. The Chesapeake Ripper has set you free. Mazel Tov. I would love nothing more than to see you trade places with Dr. Lecter. I have no intention of ending up on his menu."

Will: "Well, then confess, Frederick. Might be the only thing saves your life."

Chilton: "Confess to what?"

Will: "Confess to bonding with Hannibal Lecter over your shared practice of unorthodox therapies. Dr. Lecter with me, you with Abel Gideon."

Chilton: "Gideon is playing his own game; was wheeled out of that hospital by the Chesapeake Ripper. Curious what bargain they struck."

Will: "No, there's no bargaining with smoke. No, Gideon's dead. You're next."

Chilton: "Unless I unburden myself?"

Will: "Confession is good for the soul. Shine a light on your relationship with Hannibal Lecter. He works in the shadows. Deny them to him. Tell Jack Crawford everything."

Chilton: "Are you suggesting I kill my career before Hannibal can kill me?"

Will: "I'm suggesting you convince Jack Crawford however you can. Like your life depends on it."

Chilton: "Why did Hannibal not just kill you?"

Will: "Because he wants to be my friend."

Will putting himself in Hannibals shoes: "I sowed the seeds... and watched them grow. I cultivated... a long chain of events leading to this. All of this... has been my design."

Alana: "You challenged my whole framework of assumptions about the way you are. The way I think you are."

Will: "Well, the way you think I am isn't always a reliable guide to who I am."

Alana: "I was wrong about you."

Will: "Because you didn't believe me? Or in me? Because you let me question my sanity, my sense of reality?"

Alana: "Because you tried to kill Hannibal. You're wrong about him, Will."

Will: "No, you're wrong about him, Alana. You see the best in him. I... don't." (deleted line: "I'm not being pessimistic. I'm just a realist depressed by the truth.")

Alana: "What was done to you doesn't excuse what you did. Are you going to try to hurt Hannibal again? Is he safe?"

Will: "From me, or for you? He's dangerous, Alana. I suggest you stay as far away from Hannibal Lecter as you can."

Will: "I remember now. Uh... not all of it. Pieces. I was... under his influence. He used some kind of light to induce a seizure response in my brain. It created blackouts and lost time."

Miriam: "I remember the light. He, uh, would stand in front of it, at a distance from me, silhouetted, very still. He would listen to chamber music. I still hear that. And his voice, low and even, would pull me to him. Like a current."
