Dr. Hannibal Lecter
- Anthony Dimmond: Is it *that* kind of party?
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: [exchanges a look with Bedelia] It's not that kind of party.
- Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier: No, it really isn't.
- Anthony Dimmond: Shame. You were both suddenly so fascinating.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: I've found a peace here that I would preserve. I've killed hardly anybody during our residence.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Observe or participate?
- Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier: What?
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Are you, in this very moment, observing or participating?
- Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier: Observing.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: You say you're observing, but this... this is participation, Bedelia. Did you know what he would do? I would prefer you answer honestly.
- Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier: I was curious.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: You were curious what would happen. You were curious what Mr. Dimmond would do. What I would do. Did you anticipate our thoughts? Counter-thoughts? Rationalizations?
- Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier: Yes.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Is this what you expected?
- Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier: Yes.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: That's participation. What have you gotten yourself into, Bedelia?
- Dr. Abel Gideon: Cannibalism was standard behaviour among our ancestors. The missing link was only missing because we ate him.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: [smiling] "This isn't cannibalism, Abel. It's only cannibalism if we're equals.
