Quotes

• Hannibal: Memory gives moments immorality, but forgetfulness promotes a healthy mind. It's good to forget. What are you trying to forget, Jack?

Jack: Doubt. I let doubt in.

Hannibal: About me?

Jack: About Will.

• Margot: I met a patient of yours. Will Graham. Wonder what sort of painful but effective treatment you prescribed him.

Hannibal: What do you imagine?

Margot: You're very supportive of me killing my brother - and I appreciate that support, I really do - but I can only imagine what you'd be supportive of Will Graham doing. What kind of psychiatrist are you?

Hannibal: You already had my reputation and bona fides verified. You know what kind of psychiatrist I am.

Margot: I'm beginning to.

• Margot: We have some very similar issues. Although I doubt that Dr Lecter gave you the same advice on murder that he gave me.

Will: And what's that?

Margot: He said, "If at first you don't succeed try, try again."

• (Hannibal finds Will standing over Tier's body)

Will: I'd say this makes us even. I sent someone to kill you. You sent someone to kill me. Even Steven.
