- Will Graham: Is Hannibal in love with me?
- Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier: Could he daily feel a stab of hunger for you and find nourishment at the very sight of you? Yes. But do you... ache for him?
- Jack Crawford: Where's the other one?
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: [smiling] This one can provide you anything the other one can.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: I'm sorry, Jack. The tragedy of what's happened to Frederick has put me in an excellent humour.
- Will Graham: I look at my wife and I see her dead. And I see Mrs. Leeds and Mrs. Jacobi lying where Molly should be.
- Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier: Do you see yourself killing her?
- Will Graham: Yes. Over and over.
- Dr. Frederick Chilton: I am scared. Man to man, I am scared. It is very hard to concentrate when you are scared.
- Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier: That's participation. Hannibal Lecter does have agency in this world; he has you.
- Francis Dolarhyde: I am the Dragon and you call me insane. Before me, you are a slug in the sun. You are privy to a great becoming. You recognize nothing.
- Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier: You were curious what would happen, that's apparent. Is this what you were expecting?
- Will Graham: I can't say I'm surprised.
- Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier: Then you may as well have struck the match. That's... participation.
