Dr. Hannibal Lecter
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: I have an unconventional psychiatrist.
- Will Graham: Well, we have that in common.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: What became of mr. Sylvestri's donor?
- Will Graham: You saved his life.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Been a long time since I used a scalpel on anything but a pencil.
- Will Graham: Why'd you stop being a surgeon?
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: I killed someone or, more accurately, I couldn't save someone. But it felt like killing them.
- Will Graham: You were an emergency room surgeon. It has to happen from time to time.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: It happened one time too many. I transferred my passion for anatomy into the culinary arts. I fix minds instead of bodies, and no one's died as a result of my therapy.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: You care deeply about Tobias despite differences. He's your best friend, but you're not his.
- Franklin: It's sad when you say it like that.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: You often worry about being alone?
- Franklin: Being alone has a dull ache to it, doesn't it?
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: It can.
