NBC’s HANNIBAL SEASON ONE SENTENCE STARTERS
❛ Everyone has thought about killing someone, one way or another. ❜
❛ I imagine what you see and learn touches everything else in your mind. ❜
❛ Don’t psychoanalyze me. You won’t like me when I’m psychoanalyzed. ❜
❛ I don’t find you that interesting. ❜
❛ Last time he sent me to a dark place I brought something back. ❜
❛ You’ve been terribly rude. What’s to be done about that? ❜
❛ Did you really feel so bad because killing him felt so good? ❜
❛ Killing must feel good to God, too… He does it all the time, and are we not created in His image? ❜
❛ It isn’t very smart to piss off a guy who thinks about killing people for a living. ❜
❛ So killing somebody, even if you have to do it, it feels that bad? ❜
❛ You beginning to appreciate my lack of sympathy? ❜
❛ Abandonment requires expectation. ❜
❛ Passion’s good. Gets blood pumping. ❜
❛ Human emotions are a gift from our animal ancestors. Cruelty is a gift humanity has given itself. ❜
❛ It’s getting harder and harder to make myself look. ❜
❛ It’s a really very dull story, though, isn’t it? The ending is always the same, and that same is that it ends. ❜
❛ I didn’t count on changing as much as I did. ❜
❛ I can give you the majesty of your becoming. ❜
❛ The effect I was hoping to have was her death. Mission accomplished. ❜
❛ Here we are. A bunch of psychopaths helping each other out. ❜
❛ Words are living things. They have personality, point of view, agenda. ❜
❛ Being alone has a dull ache to it, doesn’t it? ❜
❛ I see enough of you to see the truth of you. ❜
❛ Psychopaths are not crazy. They’re fully aware of what they do and the consequences of those actions. ❜
❛ You spend a lot of time building walls. It’s natural to see if someone is clever enough to climb over them. ❜
❛ It’s nice when someone sees us. Or has the ability to see us. ❜
❛ I was worried you were dead. ❜
❛ I feel like I have dragged you into my world. ❜
❛ I don’t care about the lives you save; I care about your life, and your life is separating from reality. ❜
❛ You didn’t secure your legacy ; You murdered it. ❜
❛ Insane isn’t really black or white, is it? ❜
❛ We can tell no one. What we are doing here is the right thing. ❜
❛ Everybody decides their own versions of the truth. ❜
❛ I know what monsters are. You’re a victim. ❜
❛ You must overcome these delusions that are disguising your reality. ❜
❛ I feel like I’m fading. ❜
❛ Stability requires strong foundations. My moorings are built on sand. ❜
❛ I know what kind of crazy I am and this is not that kind of crazy. ❜
❛ I may be crazy, but you look ill. ❜
❛ I feel like hell. Actually, no, I feel, uh, fluid, like I’m spilling. ❜
❛ I feel like I’m losing my mind. I-I don’t know what’s real. ❜
❛ I don’t know if I will ever be myself again. I don’t know if I’ve got any “self” left over. ❜
❛ Madness can be a medicine for the modern world. ❜
❛ This wasn’t supposed to be my life. ❜
❛ Some places are stained now. Some people too. I know I am. ❜
❛ I was curious what would happen. ❜
❛ I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you in this life. ❜
❛ I thought I would get better. ❜
❛ I could use a good scream. I can feel one perched under my chin. ❜
❛ Guess you dodged a bullet with me. ❜
❛ I know who I am. But I am not so sure that I know who you are anymore. ❜
❛ I am who I’ve always been. The scales have just fallen from my eyes. ❜
❛ You know, in my time I’ve seen people broken by the world. I’ve seen them broken in all kinds of hideous and offhanded ways, but never like this. ❜
