- Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier: You spend a lot of time building walls, Hannibal. It's natural to see if someone is clever enough to climb over them.
- Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier: It's nice when someone sees us, Hannibal. Or has the ability to see us. It requires trust. Trust is difficult for you.
- Will Graham: I feel like I have dragged you into my world.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: No, I got here on my own, but I appreciate the company.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: That's why you kissed her. A clutch for balance.
- Will Graham: Because I'm losing mine.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: You said yourself what you do is not good for you.
- Will Graham: Unfortunately, I'm good for it.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Are you still hearing this killer's serenade behind your eyes?
- Will Graham: It's our song.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Every life is a piece of music. Like music, we are finite events, unique arrangements. Sometimes harmonious, sometimes dissonant.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: [about Will] He's nothing like me. We see the world in different ways, yet he can assume my point of view.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Psychopaths are not crazy. They're fully aware of what they do and the consequences of those actions.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: You believe he risked getting caught for a serenade?
- Will Graham: I believe he wants to show someone how well he plays.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: [to Tobias] It seems we're both comfortable playing between conventional notes.
