Hannibal: "A loss. This is a loss. Will is a loss and we're mourning a death."
Jack: "Will's death is on me, not you."
Hannibal: "It's on both of us."
Jack: "I can't stop thinking that Will may be convicted of five murders while I am only maybe convicted of one."
Hannibal: "Well, you're not on trial."
Jack: "I will be - in the halls of the FBI. And so will you. I mean, according to Will Graham, this was all you."
Hannibal: "Will was your bloodhound. You can't ignore where he points."
Jack: "I'm not ignoring it."
Hannibal: "You have to investigate me. It's in my best interest, and yours."
Jack: "Yes, it is. But I also can't ignore the fact that my bloodhound went mad before he pointed in your direction."
Hannibal: "We can't define Will only by his maddest edges."
Jack: "We can't define Will at all."
Chilton: "You're my patient now, Will."
Will: "I'm not talking to you, Frederick. I want to talk to Dr. Lecter."
Hannibal: "Will Graham has asked to see me. I would like to see him. I continue to be curious about the way he thinks, despite all that's happened."
Bedelia: "He's still influencing you. Will Graham asking to see you betrays his clear intent to manipulate you."
Hannibal: "And if I agree to see Will?"
Bedelia: "It betrays your clear intent to manipulate him."
Hannibal: "I miss him."
Bedelia: "You are obsessed with Will Graham."
Hannibal: "I'm intrigued."
Bedelia: "Obsessively. And he will take advantage of that."
Hannibal: "Will is my friend."
Bedelia: "Why? Why is he your friend?"
Hannibal: "He sees his own mentality as grotesque but useful. Like a chair of antlers. He can't repress who he is. There's an honesty in that I admire."
Bedelia: "I imagine there's an honesty in that you can relate to. What can't you repress, Hannibal?"

Hannibal: "I miss him."
Bedelia: "Is it possible you're confusing your needs with those of your patient's?"
Hannibal: "Will was never just a patient."
Bedelia: "He's changing your behavior and you're hoping you can change his."
Hannibal: "I only wanted to help Will."
Bedelia studies him a moment, then: "The way we think is flawed, but the flaws are systematic. Even when irrational, we are predictable. You're obsessed with Will Graham."
Hannibal: "I'm intrigued."
Bedelia: "Obsessively. He's going to take advantage of that. He already has. He nearly cost you your reputation."
Hannibal: "My reputation is intact."
Bedelia: "For the time being." Those words hang in the air.
Hannibal: "Hello, Will."
Will: "Dr. Lecter."
Hannibal: "Lost in thought?"
Will: "Not lost. Not anymore. I used to hear my thoughts inside my skull with the same, um... tone, timbre, accent, as if the words were coming out of my mouth."
Hannibal: "And now?"
Will: "Now... my inner voice sounds like you. I can't get you out of my head."
Hannibal: "Friendship can sometimes involve a breach of individual separateness."
Will: "You're not my friend. The, uh, light from friendship won't reach us for a million years. That's how far away from friendship we are."
Hannibal: "I imagine it's easier to believe I am responsible for those murders than it is to accept that you are."
Will: "Sure is."
Hannibal: "Your inner voice can provide a method of taking control of your behavior, accepting responsibility for what you've done. Giving your thoughts words encourages clarity."
Will: "Oh, I have clarity. About you."
Hannibal: "Our conversations, Will, were only ever about you opening your eyes to the truth of who you are."
Will: "What you did to me is in my head, and I will find it. I'm going to remember, Dr. Lecter, and when I do, there will be a reckoning."
Hannibal smiles at this, nods, proud: "I have huge faith in you, Will. I always have."
Hannibal: "Will is doing his best to understand where he is and why."
Beverly: "You were supposed to protect him."
Hannibal: "From himself?"
Beverly: "Yeah."
Hannibal: "I'm not mad at you - not any more than I'm mad at myself."
Beverly: "We all missed it, whatever it was - is."
Hannibal: "We all are not suspects."
Beverly: "You're not a suspect; You're the new Will Graham."
Bedelia: "What is the situation, Hannibal?"
Hannibal: "Will Graham made accusations. Jack's only being thorough."
Bedelia: "You're keeping Agent Crawford close."
Hannibal: "We share an obsession. I got to be Will Graham today. I consulted at an FBI crime scene. I stood in Will's shoes, looked through his eyes, and I saw death... how I imagined he would see it."
Bedelia: "How far will this flirtation go?"
Will: "You believe Hannibal."
Alana: "I believe the Will Graham standing in front of me now is incapable of that violence. I believe you lost your mind, and for periods of time, you weren't the Will Graham I know."
Will: "I hear Hannibal's voice in the well of my mind. I hear him saying words that he's never said to me. It isn't my imagination. It's... it's something else. Have you ever helped a patient recover memories?"
Chilton: "Alana Bloom was visiting with your former patient today."
Hannibal: "Will was never my patient."
Chilton: "The irony is that he is my patient, but he refuses to speak to me. Makes me feel like I'm fumbling with his head like a freshman pulling at a panty girdle."
Hannibal: "Will is going to be a challenge for any psychiatrist."
Chilton: "He is so lucid, so perceptive. He's trained in criminal psychology, and he is a mass murderer. He's a prize patient. Or should be."
Hannibal (deleted line): "You thought you'd be like Beaumont studying digestion through the opening in St. Martin's stomach."
Chilton (deleted line): "As it turns out, I don't think we're any closer to understanding him now than the day he came in."
script: Hannibal takes a nearly-imperceptible pleasure at that.
Hannibal: "How was Dr. Bloom's visit?"
Chilton: "He asked her to hypnotize him so he could recover his memories."
Hannibal: "Was he successful?"
Chilton: "Only in playing Dr. Bloom. It's sad to see a brilliant psychiatrist fall for such hoary old chestnuts."
Hannibal: "She wants to believe him; I do too."
Chilton: "You do realize you're his favorite topic of conversation. Hannibal, Hannibal, Hannibal. Not with me, of course, but with everyone else who will listen. He tells everyone that you are a monster."
Hannibal: "Well, in that case, you are dining with a psychopathic murderer, Frederick."
scene: Hannibal stares at the empty chair in his office missing Will
script: NT. Hannibal Lecter’s office, night, beautiful classical music plays. We move off the clock, across a broad desk and linger briefly on a leather-bound appointment book. On the page under 7:30, it says, "Will Graham." Move off the book, across the floor to reveal we are in Hannibal’s office. Hannibal sits with a glass of wine, staring into the empty chair where Will would have once sat. As the music soars, Hannibal’s face clouds...
