- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: If I saw you every day, forever, Will, I would remember this time.
- Will Graham: Strange seeing you here in front of me. Been staring at afterimages of you in places you haven't been in years.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: "To market, to market, to buy a fat pig. Home again, home again, jiggety-jig."
- Will Graham: I wanted to understand you before I laid eyes on you again. I needed it to be clear... what I was seeing.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Where does the difference between the past and the future come from?
- Will Graham: Mine? Before you and after you. Yours? It's all starting to blur. Mischa. Abigail. Chiyoh.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: How is Chiyoh?
- Will Graham: She pushed me off a train.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Atta girl.
- Will Graham: You and I have begun to blur.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Isn't that how you found me?
- Will Graham: Every crime of yours... feels like one I am guilty of. Not just Abigail's murder, every murder... stretching backward and forward in time.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Freeing yourself from me and... me freeing myself from you, they're the same.
- Will Graham: We're conjoined. I'm curious whether either of us can survive separation.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Now is the hardest test: not letting rage and frustration... nor forgiveness keep you from thinking. Shall we?
- Will Graham: After you.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Would you have done it quickly, or would you have stopped to gloat?
- Will Graham: Does God gloat?
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Often
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Florence is where I became a man. I see my end in my beginning.
- Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier: All of our endings can be found in our beginnings. History repeats itself, and there is no escape.
- Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier: Were you there? Did you watch as the wild beast within him turned from the teat and entered the world?
- Chiyo: I met the beast... and I saw him grow. Someone wants to kill him.
- Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier: More than one someone, I'd say. What do you want?
- Chiyo: I want to cage him.
- Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier: I thought Will Graham was Hannibal's biggest mistake... I wonder if it isn't you.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Jack was the first to suggest getting inside your head. Now we both have the opportunity to chew quite literally... what we've only chewed figuratively.
- Chiyo: You're like his bird. I'm his bird, too. He puts us in cages to see what we'll do.
- Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier: Fly away or dash ourselves dead against the bars.
- Chiyo: You haven't flown away.
- Dr. Bedelia Du Maurier: You are flying right towards him. How does he inspire such devotion?
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: How is Chiyo?
- Will Graham: She pushed me off a train.
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter: Atta girl.
