NBC’s HANNIBAL SEASON TWO SENTENCE STARTERS
❛ I am not the intelligent psychopath you are looking for. ❜
❛ Now… my inner voice sounds like you. I can’t get you out of my head. ❜
❛ You’re not my friend. The light from friendship won’t reach us for a million years. That’s how far away from friendship we are. ❜
❛ I’m going to remember, and when I do there will be a reckoning. ❜
❛ You may not believe me now. You will. ❜
❛ I am the unreliable narrator of my own story. ❜
❛ The traumatized are unpredictable because we know we can survive. ❜
❛ I’ve had to draw a conclusion based on what I glimpse through the stitching of the person-suit that you wear, and the conclusion that I’ve drawn is that you are dangerous. ❜
❛ I felt so betrayed by you. Betrayal was the only thing that felt real to me. ❜
❛ I guess I’ll have to save my own life. ❜
❛ Who is he to you that makes you want to risk everything for him? ❜
❛ Not only is justice blind; It’s mindless and heartless. ❜
❛ Saving lives is just as arousing as ending them. He likes to play God. ❜
❛ I want you to believe in the best of me, just as I believe in the best of you. ❜
❛ I’ve given my life to death. ❜
❛ I’ve always found the idea of death comforting. ❜
❛ Death is not a defeat… it’s a cure. ❜
❛ I’m not asking you to believe anything you can’t prove. I’m just asking you to prove it. ❜
❛ I’m going to remember you as beautiful as you are right now. ❜
❛ There’s no solution to grief. It just is. ❜
❛ For the courtesy you have always shown me, I am going to give you a gift. ❜
❛ Judas had the decency to hang himself in shame at his betrayal. But I thought you needed help. ❜
❛ The tragedy is not to die, but to be wasted. ❜
❛ You tried to kill me. It’s hard not to take that personally. ❜
❛ I wonder how many more people are going to get hurt by what you do. ❜
❛ I was thinking about funerals, and how often they make us want sex. ❜
❛ You can’t trust any of this to be what it seems. ❜
❛ What was done to you doesn’t excuse what you did. ❜
❛ You never answered my question. How would killing me make you feel? ❜
❛ Don’t you want to know how this ends? ❜
❛ I’d like to resume my therapy. ❜
❛ Doing bad things to bad people makes us feel good. ❜
❛ I don’t want to kill you. Not now that I finally find you interesting. ❜
❛ I prefer sins of omission to outright lies. Don’t lie to me. ❜
❛ With all my knowledge and intrusion… I could never entirely predict you. ❜
❛ I can feed the caterpillar and I can whisper through the chrysalis, but what hatches, follows its own nature and is beyond me. ❜
❛ Adapt. Evolve. Become. ❜
❛ Must I denounce myself as a monster while you still refuse to see the one growing inside you? ❜
❛ Typhoid and swans, it all comes from the same place. ❜
❛ What’s your private carnage? ❜
❛ I’d say this makes us even. I sent someone to kill you, you sent someone to kill me. Even Steven. ❜
❛ In love you take leave of your senses but in hatred you must be present to calculate your actions. ❜
❛ Don’t go inside. You’ll want to retreat. You’ll want it as the glint of the rail tempts us when we hear the approaching train. Stay with me. ❜
❛ Polite society normally places such a taboo on taking a life. Without death, we’d be at a loss. It’s the prospect of death that drives us to greatness. ❜
❛ I’ve never felt as alive as I did when I was killing him. ❜
❛ I know you’re scared. You only have to be scared a moment longer. ❜
❛ I’m not the product of anything. I’ve given up good and evil… for behaviorism. ❜
❛ Tell me, did your heart race when you murdered her? ❜
❛ Occasionally, I drop a teacup to shatter on the floor. On purpose. I’m not satisfied when it doesn’t gather itself up again. Someday perhaps, a cup will come together. ❜
❛ God is beyond measure in wanton malice, and matchless in his irony. ❜
❛ Whenever feasible, one should always try to eat the rude. ❜
❛ I killed him. I believed it was self-defense. And to a point, it was. But beyond that point, it was murder. ❜
❛ So much about this feels like a dream. ❜
❛ You don’t want me to have anything in my life that’s not you. ❜
❛ We are just alike. You’re as alone as I am. And we’re both alone without each other. ❜
❛ I am enchanted and terrified. ❜
❛ When the fox hears the rabbit scream, he comes running. But not to help. ❜
❛ When the moment comes. Will you do what needs to be done? ❜
❛ Be blind. Don’t be brave. ❜
❛ I let you know me, see me. I gave you a rare gift, but you didn’t want it. ❜
❛ Do you believe you could change me, the way I’ve changed you? ❜
❛ I forgive you. Will you forgive me? ❜
❛ You can make it all go away. Put your head back. Close your eyes. Wade into the quiet of the stream. ❜
