Quotes

• Jack: They are identically different, Hannibal and Will.

• Hannibal: The most stable elements, Chiyoh, appear in the middle of the periodic table, roughly between iron and silver. Between iron and silver. I think that's appropriate for you.

• Will: I miss my dogs. I'm not gonna miss you. I'm not gonna find you. I'm not going to look for you. I don't wanna know where you are or what you do. I don't want to think about you anymore.

Hannibal: You delight in wickedness and then berate yourself of the delight.

Will: You delight. I tolerate. I don't have your appetite. Goodbye, Hannibal.
