Abigail Hobbs quotes from Hannibal

Abigail Hobbs

[skinning a deer] I don't know how I'm gonna feel about eating her after all this.

Eating her is honoring her. Otherwise, it's just murder.

Abigail Hobbs

So killing somebody, even if you have to do it, it feels that bad?

Will Graham

It's the ugliest thing in the world.

Hannibal Lecter

It's important to know when to turn the page. Have you thought about applying to schools?

Abigail Hobbs

My dad killed girls at all the schools I applied to.

Hannibal Lecter

[pause] Perhaps that can wait, then.

Abigail Hobbs

Did Will really kill Marissa?

Hannibal Lecter

They will believe he did. They will believe he killed others, too.

Abigail Hobbs

[realizing] Will always said that whoever called the house that day was the serial killer. [pause] Why did you really call?

Hannibal Lecter

I wanted to warn your father that Will Graham was coming for him.

Abigail Hobbs

Why?

Hannibal Lecter

I was curious what would happen. I was curious what would happen when I killed Marissa. I was curious what you would do.

Abigail Hobbs

You wanted me to kill Nick Boyle.

Hannibal Lecter

I was hoping. I wanted to see how much like your father you were.

Abigail Hobbs

[horrified] Oh my God...

Hannibal Lecter

Nicholas Boyle is more important for you gutting him. He changed you, Abigail. That's more important than the life he clamored after.

Abigail Hobbs

How many people have you killed?

Hannibal Lecter

[taking her hand] Many more people than your father.

Abigail Hobbs

[afraid] Are you going to kill me?

Abigail Hobbs

Do you believe in God?

Will Graham

What I believe is closer to science fiction than anything in the Bible.

Abigail Hobbs

We all know it, but nobody ever says that G-dash-d won't do a G-dash-d-damn thing to answer anybody's prayers.

Will Graham

God can't save any of us because it's... inelegant. Elegance is more important than suffering. That's his design.

Abigail Hobbs

Are you talking about God or Hannibal?

Will Graham

Hannibal's not God. He wouldn't have any fun being God. Defying God, that's his idea of a good time. There's nothing he'd love more than to see this roof collapse mid-Mass, choirs singing... he would just love it, and he thinks God would love it, too.
