Quotes

• Hannibal: (to Will) You just came here to look at me. Came to get the old scent again. Why don't you just smell yourself?

• Hannibal: Have you ever seen blood in the moonlight, Will? It appears quite black.

• Hannibal: You've come to wag your finger?

Alana: I love a good finger-wagging.

Hannibal: Yes, you do. How is Margot?

• Will: You came into my hospital room while I was sleeping, flipped back the covers, and snapped a photo of my temporary colostomy bag.

Freddie: I covered your junk with a black box. A big black box. You're welcome.

• Hannibal: Hello.

Dolarhyde: Hello. Doctor Lecter? I wanted to tell you that... I am... delighted that you have taken an interest in me. I don't believe you would tell them who I am even if you knew. The important thing... is what I am becoming. And you... You alone would understand this.

Hannibal: Tell me, what are you becoming?

Dolarhyde: The Great... Red... Dragon.
