Jack: "But trout are supposed to be hunters. Like, they should be chewing on my hook here."
Will: "Yeah, when it's cold, their metabolisms drop and they're not as hungry."
Jack: "Yeah, so how do you catch a fish that isn't hungry?"
Will: "Change your tactics. Use live bait that moves and excites them to action."
Jack: "You... You gotta make him bite even though he's not hungry."
Will: "Make him act on instinct. He's always a predator. You have to create a reality where only you and he exist. Your lure is the one thing he wants, despite everything he knows."
Jack: "Make a wrong move, he swims away?"
Will: "Yeah. I'm a good fisherman, Jack."
Jack: "You hook him, I'll land him."

Hannibal: "Beautiful fish, Will."
Will: "It was my turn to provide the meat."
Hannibal: "More flavorful and firm than farmed specimens. I find the trout to be a very Nietzscheian fish. Trials of his wild existence find their way into the flavor of the flesh. I hope 'providing the meat' doesn't mean you still harbor doubts about what I serve at my table."
Jack: "No doubts, Dr. Lecter. Only the, uh... wounds we dealt each other until we got to the truth."
Hannibal: "Which is why we need to move past apologies and forgiveness. Chilton has many victims besides the dead. We will absorb this experience. It will change us. Well, we are all Nietzscheian fish in that regard."
Will: "Makes us tastier."
Jack: "None of our actions were personal."
Will: "I tried to have Hannibal killed. Isn't that personal?"
Hannibal: "You thought I was a killer. The greatest crime now would be to walk away from what we've shared and suffered. In many ways, we need each other. We are the only ones who will know what this feels like."
Alana: "I'm not complaining, but part of me suspects we ended up here to avoid where our conversation was going."
Hannibal: "As long as you're not complaining."
Alana: "Too much has happened for us not to talk about this. However pleasant the distractions."
Hannibal: "Well, I am recovering from all that has happened. So is Will. So are you. I would change many things, but not that we ended up here. Or that Will is back in therapy."
Alana: "The only thing stranger than finding a woman inside a horse... is seeing you back in therapy with Will Graham."
Hannibal: "Is it really so strange?"
Alana: "He tried to murder you."
Hannibal: "Do you know why Will tried to kill me? It wasn't to avenge Beverly Katz's death. It was to prevent yours. He was protecting you in the only way he felt he had left to him."
Alana: "I'm afraid Will opened a door inside himself and no one knows if it closed again. Especially not Will."
Hannibal: "Then it's healthy he's back in therapy. With a good psychiatrist."
Hannibal: "You were able to reconstruct this killer's fantasies. One dead creature giving birth to another. The bird, his victim's new beating heart. Her soul given wings."
Will: "Rebirths can only ever be symbolic."
Hannibal: "You've been reborn."
Will: "Wasn't that the goal of my therapy?"
Hannibal: "How does it feel consulting again with Jack Crawford and the FBI? Last time, it nearly destroyed you."
Will: "Last time, you nearly destroyed me."
Hannibal: "After everything that has happened, Will, you still believe..."
Will: "Stop right there. You may have to pretend, but I don't."
Hannibal: "No, you don't. Not with me."
Will: "I don't expect you to admit anything. You can't. But I prefer sins of omission to outright lies, Dr. Lecter. Don't lie to me."
Hannibal: "Will you return the courtesy? Why have you resumed your therapy?"
Will: "Can't just talk to any psychiatrist about what's kicking round my head."
Hannibal: "Do you fantasize about killing me?"
Will: "Yes."
Hannibal: "Tell me. How would you do it?"
Will: "With my hands."
Hannibal: "Then we haven't moved past apologies and forgiveness, have we?"
Will: "We've moved past a lot of things. I discovered a truth about myself when I tried to have you killed."
Hannibal: "That doing bad things to bad people makes you feel good?"
Will: "Yes."
Hannibal: "I need to know if you're going to try to kill me again, Will."
Will: "I don't want to kill you anymore, Dr. Lecter. Not now that I finally find you interesting."
Peter: "You could find him."
Will: "Do you have a shadow, Peter? Someone only you can see. Someone you considered a friend. He made you feel less alone. Until you saw what he really is."
Peter: "No... No one will believe me. He'll make sure no one will believe me."
Will: "I'll make sure they do."

Hannibal: "You look like a man who has suffered an irrevocable loss."
Will: "I'm trying to prevent one."
Hannibal: "Do you think if you save Peter Bernardone, you can save yourself?"
Will: "Save myself from what, Dr. Lecter?"
Hannibal: "From who you perceive me to be."
Will: "I'm afraid I need to be saved from who you perceive me to be."
Hannibal: "Many troublesome behaviors strike when you are uncertain of yourself. Peter Bernardone lies in the same darkness that holds you."
Will: "No... I'm alone in that darkness."
Hannibal: "You're not alone, Will. I'm standing right beside you."
Peter: "I used to have... used to have a horrible fear of... of hurting anything. But... he helped me get over that. Feels so abnormal."
Hannibal: "An abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is normal behavior."
Peter: "I think... think he deserves to die."
But... But you didn't deserve to kill him, Peter. I want you to come with me. What was done to you was cruelty for cruelty's sake."
Peter: "I think I hate him."
Will: "I envy you your hate. It makes it easier when you know how to feel."
Peter: "What... Makes what easier?"
Will: "Killing."
Peter: "I... I didn't kill him... I just wanted him to... to understand what it's like to... to suffocate and to... to... to experience the destiny that he created."
Hannibal: "Mr. Ingram. Might want to crawl back in there, if you know what's good for you."
script: Hannibal turns his head and Will Graham steps out of darkness, coming into focus as he enters the barn, gun raised before him. Hannibal steps to one side. Watching, fascinated.
Ingram: "Officer... I'm the victim here."
Will: "I'm not an officer. I'm Peter's friend."
Ingram: "Peter's confused."
Will: "I'm not. Pick up the hammer."
Hannibal: "Will."
Will: "Pick it up."
Hannibal: "It won't feel the same, Will. It won't feel like killing me."
Will: "It doesn't have to." (deleted line: "I know what it will feel like. It'll feel good.")
Hannibal: "You did the best anyone could do for Peter, but don't do this for him." (deleted line: "Not for Mr. Ingram's victims or their many friends and relatives who would love to see him dead.") "If you're going to do this, Will... You have to do it for yourself."
Ingram: "Please don't."
Hannibal: "You would be wise to remain silent, Mr. Ingram. Will. This is not the reckoning you promised yourself. With all my knowledge and intrusion, I could never entirely predict you. I can feed the caterpillar, and I can whisper through the chrysalis, but... What hatches, follows its own nature and is beyond me." while holding Will's face in his hands
