How's he choosing them?
Social media, I imagine. Can't be too careful with privacy settings.
Do you know who they are?
Yes.
And you're wiling to let them die?
They're not my family, Will... and I'm not letting them die, you are.
Hannibal · Season 1
How's he choosing them?
Social media, I imagine. Can't be too careful with privacy settings.
Do you know who they are?
Yes.
And you're wiling to let them die?
They're not my family, Will... and I'm not letting them die, you are.
You've been talking to the Tooth Fairy.
I think he's earned the right to be called by the name he's chosen: He's the Great Red Dragon.
You have hugged Hell, Dr. Lecter.
I often do.
I'm just about worn out with your crazy sons-of-bitches!
The essence of the worst in the human spirit is not found in the crazy sons-of-bitches. Ugliness is found in the faces of the crowd.
What did you say to him?
"Save yourself, kill them all." Then I gave him your home address. How's the wife?
Is Hannibal in love with me?
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?
Do you understand what I am doing?
No. But I think I have an opportunity to understand, and then my readers could understand too. But I must tell you that I am scared. Man to man, I am scared, and it is very hard to concentrate when you are scared. If you have a great idea, you do not need to scare me to impress me.
"Man to man." You use that expression to imply frankness. But I am not a man. I have become... Other. Do you think God is in attendance here? Are you praying to him now?
[to Chilton] I am the Dragon, and you call me insane. You are privy to a great becoming, but you recognize nothing. Before me, you are a slug in the sun. It is in your nature to do one thing correctly: Before me, you tremble. Fear is not what you owe me. You owe me awe!
Chilton languished until Hannibal the Cannibal. He wanted the world to know his face.
And now he doesn't have one.
[Will consoles Reba after Francis tries to kill her]
I won't put you through this again, but I'd like to come back by just to say hi, see how you're doing.
[miserable] How could you help it, charmer like me?
[taking her hand] In the end, he couldn't kill you, and he couldn't watch you die. People who study this kind of thing say he he was trying to stop. Because you helped him. Probably saved some lives.
I drew a freak.
You didn't draw a freak. You drew a man with a freak on his back. There is nothing wrong with you.
I know there's nothing wrong with me than making friends with people who try to foster dependency. Feed off it. I've been with a few. The blind attract them.
Not just the blind.
I was rooting for you, Will. It's a shame - you came all this way, and you didn't get to kill anybody. Your only consolation is Dr. Chilton. Congratulations for the job you did on him. I admired it enormously. What a cunning boy you are.
You turned yourself in so I would always know where you are. But you'd only do that if I rejected you. Goodbye.
Will - was it good to see me?
Good? No.
You died in my kitchen, Alana, when you chose to be brave. Every moment since is borrowed. Your wife, your child - they belong to me. You made a bargain for Will's life, and then I spun you gold.
[Hannibal and Will have just killed Francis]
This is all I ever wanted for you, Will. For both of us.
It's beautiful.
[They embrace, and Will pulls them both off the cliff]
